Spoiler alert. P*sser alert. Call Maggie a r*cist alert.

It really is rather simple:

- Emanuel is Jewish and supports Israel
- The war in Iraq is many things, including having become a proxy war between Arabs/Muslims and Israel
- Emanuel wants to boost the number of his co-congress critters who support Israel and the proxy war and decrease the number who want the war to end (see evidence in the post)
- There are many Jewish Democrats in Congress, and while there are exceptions, for the most part, they vote to continue the war. The grassroots and the netroots are going to have to come to grips with this.

We. Are. Never. Leaving.

Well, OK, maybe when we run out of oil, we’ll leave.

no congressman is proof from an all-out effort to point out his bad side.

a good run at him in a primary,

or an independent run in a general election,

might tame that boy real quick.

as would making him run hard for two or three election cycles.

according to the truthout article, rahm emmanual was appointed to head the dccc by speaker pelosi. that he is still in a “in a position to do candidate recruitment for the DCCC this cycle,” does not sound, to me, like speaker pelosi thinks he is a back stabber… otherwise she’d have chosen someone else. no?

Can we have a new vote for Speaker? I am getting real tired of Speaker Pelosi.

Here, here–and Sen. Reid, too.

Dennis Kucinich will be on the Tucker Carlson Show on MSNBC-TV this evening (6 p.m. EDT) for an exclusive interview about his just-completed fact-finding mission to the Middle East. (Check local listings for channel and time in your city.)

For whom the cap fits, let them wear it.

As an advocate for war against Israels’ enemies in the middle east, aggressive wars against countries that are no threat to the USA, Mr Emmanuel has made it an issue himself.

Like homophobic repugs who are partial to squalid trysts in public men’s rooms, it’s the conflict of interest, not just the conduct, that makes it an issue.

Let us not forget that Rahm Emanuel holds joint American and Israeli citizenship. As an American citizen, he served in the Israeli Army.

The continuing use of the old anti-Semitic dual loyalty trope by supposed liberals is nothing short of grotesque.

In any case according to the wikipedia, the claim that Emanuel is a dual citizen is false as is the claim that he served in the Israeli army. He did serve as a civilian volunteer at an Israeli army base during the Gulf War.

I googled Ron Paul poll and learned that he isn’t even listed as a candidate in many states’ polls. And of course, I think many of you know that viewers of the gooper debate voted him the winner. So ABC/News colors itself surprised about the grassroots, etc., and/or hackers messing up the voting and Paul might get a little fundraising bump.

The comments on the ABC article are full people embracing Paul’s PRO CONSTITUTIONAL STANCE (pardon that last word there). They, too, are sick to death of steno-news.

Just an observation…the GOP has a viable candidate. The powers that cling just refuse to endorse him.
