Emanuel builds wide coalition, wins Chicago mayorship

Quote:
Emanuel, President Obama's former chief of staff, avoided a runoff, surpassing 50 percent of the vote in the first round of voting, by drawing support from blacks, wealthier whites, and some Hispanics and ethnic whites. With 80 percent of precincts reporting, Emanuel held a majority of the vote in majority-white and majority-black wards, and a plurality of the vote in Hispanic-majority wards.


*cough*

Although this is neither here nor there, I went to a panel on the mayoral race last month, and Ed Burke claimed that Hispanics represent only 10% of the electorate in Chicago despite being 32% of the population. o_O

That probably would have made this race a little closer, but probably not enough to matter.

I'm glad he's out of the White House. I objected to his appointment in the first place and said so here. Now he'll be in charge of a major city.

Good luck, Chicago. I think he'll do better in the new job.

Apparently Rahmbo's father was a bonafide terrorist for the zionist paramilitary group Irgun, which was involved in the indiscriminate terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, as well as the infamous Deir Yassin massacre (house-to-house slaughter of Palestinian civilians).

Pretty ironic that as a member of the Obama administration he urged Americans to spy on each other in order to stop "terrorism", when he himself is the son of a terrorist...

And this is the guy now running Chicago. Out with the old mafia boss, in with the new... some things never change.

Not only that, but he is/was an Israeli citizen and served in their armed forces.

Son of a Zionist Terrorist: Rahm Emanuel�s Dirty Secret

Quote:
Rahm was an Israeli citizen until he was 18 years old, when for obvious reasons he hid his Israeli passport in his underwear drawer. In 1991, however, he pulled his Israeli passport out and went and reportedly joined the Israeli Army to defend Zion from Saddam's Scuds.

After 1948 they became part of the new Israeli government and did the same thing. In September 2001 they put their skills to work in New York City and Washington to kick start the "war on terror" -

What? Last I heard about his mayoral aspirations, the courts had ruled him ineligible.

You believe a renal failure patient living in a cave in the most backward country on earth outwitted the military and civil defense forces of the most powerful nation in history, and I'm cuckoo???

ROFLMAO!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

OK, so you can call names pretty well, but can you actually refute with documentation anything I have posted?

He wasn't living in a cave at the time and had more ways to communicate with the rest of the world before the USA invaded Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from power.

Why is it hard to believe that 11 or 12 men hijacked 3 planes??

Also, while I am agnostic about who ultimately masterminded 9/11, I diagree with the implication that bin laden couldn't have done it because he suffers from renal failure. Someone very close to me was on dialysis for many years, and I can tell you that, while it tires you out and depletes your stamina, it does not rob you of your mental faculties.

Who said that is hard? It is easy to believe that or even that 19 men hijacked 4 planes.

What is not easy to believe is that these hijackers received their flight training at US military flight schools, they rented rooms from government agents, that NORAD's air defense system failed four times in a single day just happening to involve the very planes used in the attacks, that WTC 1, 2, & 7 collapsed into their footprints, that for the only three times in history fires melted steel and caused buildings to collapse, that WTC 7 fell at free fall speed, that military-grade thermite was found in the WTC rubble, Mossad agents have admitted being sent to NY ahead of time "to document the event," etc. Shall I go on?

Apparently I am not the only one who finds these things hard to believe, as 60% of the commissioners who wrote the official 9/11 Report do not believe it either.

Dis is 'bout Chi-town.

Nobody's mentioning who vacated the position after what, like 20 years?

There was like a 5-minute hiccup between him and his father "preserving disorder"=a good 50 years of one family.

And before you get too primeval on Herr Bacasper, remember that this is the home of Sir Lindon LaRouche.

Meanwhile, I'm in this video if you look real carefully:

What screws with my mind is the NORAD thing. The young officer who asked Cheney if "the order still stands" when the plane that hit the Pentagon was 20miles out.

The reason this completely screws with my mind is simple. When Hope and Change rolls through my town they shut down the entire freeway system. I sat at an intersection - a major intersection - at rush hour, for almost an hour, so he could blow by. The police closed every single intersection on the road for an hour. I counted the cops (can't remember the number but I posted it on Dave's earlier). It was intense.

"Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary" was Cheney's response.

The god damn Pentagon. Right? WTF is going on?

I thought of adding that to the list but figured there was enough.

And let's keep Frau Gopher happy: Richard Daley.
