What we have seen is simply that the mayor can cry on command like any two-bit actor and that he has no intention of abandoning his bashing of the police and his fawning toward Al Sharpton. And so nothing has really changed despite the cowardly murder of two police officers, except that any expression of disapproval toward His Honor is somehow mean-spirited and politically motivated. Were the authors capable of shame they'd feel it.
I am sorry, this cuts two ways, the police have isolated themselves from the people they are sworn to protect. They have a lot of fence mending to do.
I puked right after I read this...
” In Obama’s case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didn’t buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress. “
Oh my goodness...yeah, Obama, along with Pelosi and Reid, and their agenda, just oozed with 'nonpartisanship', didn't it?
Unbelievable.
DeBlah, Blah is batting 1000.
Now he’s attacking his buddies in the media.
“He’s pretty badly shaken” by the murders”
He’s just another leftist ideologue who’s idiocy has again blown up in his face with real world consequences.
Leftists have been getting people killed for eons.
She goes easy on DeB in this I think.
Stick a fork in, he is finished.
De Blasio was supposed to be one of the leading lights of the Democrats who call themselves “Progressives.” Now their boy is in trouble - and they are getting very panicky and defensive.
“The protesters had absolutely nothing to do with the cop-killing,” “the cops’ union leaders are stirring up trouble,” “Republican partisans like Giuliani, Pataki, Peter King, Ray Kelly are stirring up trouble,” “the media is stirring up divisiveness,” yadda yadda yadda. That’s the spin for now.
When it turns out that the majority of folks aren’t listening to them, how soon before they start running away from De Blasio (the way they ran away from Obama on ObamaCare)?
By the way, what’s going on with those plans to bring the Democrat convention to Brooklyn?
“De Blasio allies often point out that the city has changed since the days of Giuliani. Blacks and Hispanics are now in the majority.”
Meaning what exactly? That New York is headed in the same direction as Detroit and all the other dying white-minority, Democrat-majority cities?
“[de Blasio’s] message, however, was now the same as Bratton’s: Protests could wait until after the funerals for the two men had passed.
Wow, how decent. Wait until the two cops that were assassinated due to de Blasio’s inflammatory anti-cop rhetoric are buried, and THEN restart the inflammatory anti-cop rhetoric to get some MORE NYPD cops assassinated!
Who are these idiots? You can't do the New Politics because they don't work. It has nothing to do with "old politics."
Does NYC have a recall provision, for the mayor?
And that is a nightmare for him how?
