Rahm Emanuel: "I ask the protests to be peaceful. Yes, it's police murder, but after I saw the video, I was able to keep silent for a year!"

1. oh, wait.

didn't I read earlier that he had NOT seen the video???

Not that I believed that, but wtf?

[peacebird]

2. Seriously? Did he actually say that?

[randys1]

4. No, the tweeter said it as sarcasm, but it is on the mark...the tweeter is

an interesting person...I follow

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

6. TeaPartyCat appears to be a satire twitter feed.

But I think I saw a quote from Bernie earlier where he was willing to use the 'm-word'.

[meow2u3]

25. Rahmbo might as well have said that

TeaPartyCat's satire is usually dead on.

[bravenak]

3. No shit

[brush]

5. I can't believe how many people in high office prove how stupid they are

He actually said "I kept silent for a year". Doesn't he realize he's incriminating himself?

If he knew it was police murder and did nothing, he should be lead away if cuffs. He's the mayor, for God's sake. He could have demanded the video release a year ago and the charge and arrest of the killer cop.

WTF!

8. It's satire. He didn't really say that. nt

[brush]

10. Oh, ok. The poster should indicate that it's satire.

[tblue37]

11. I agree. OPs should be much more transparent about such things. nt

[Schema Thing]

14. You should recognize it as satire.

[brush]

16. Why should I with no indication it's from Borowitz or the Onion?

Every OP I have to decide if it's satire now?

I don't think so, but surely yours is for you to think that I should know that a straight forward-appearing post is click bait and not what it seems.

[TNNurse]

18. It is pretty damn hard to recognize some of the satire these days....

People are saying outlandish things......................

[ejbr]

19. Not Donald Trump! n/t

[brush]

22. Now THAT I recognize as satire.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. He didn't say that, it's satire. But that's the suspicion that many have. nt

[merrily]

7. I think I read on DU only yesterday that Rahm was among the future hopes of the Democratic Party.

No, I am not kidding and, yes, I'm sure I read "Rahm" and "future." Well, him and a few other Third Way corporatists.

"I'll retire to Bedlam."

[Punkingal]

12. Him? OMG

[Autumn]

15. Rahm is among the future hopes of the Democratic Party?

That was a joke. Right?

[merrily]

17. Would I kid about something like Rahm 2024?

I rest my entire case.

[daleanime]

26. Not among mine...

[merrily]

28. Now that you mention it, he wasn't exactly Numero Uno on my list, either.

How many ways did he find to insult the alleged "left of the left" again?

Not that it mattered with all Rahm's millions, but I donated to Chuy. Made me feel better, anyway.

[Rex]

13. Is there any other Dem as crooked as Rahm?

Crook should be in jail, yet he has great connections so he is mayor. Barf.

[Enthusiast]

23. Sorry to say it but yes there are.

[merrily]

30. Yes and yes and yes. 3 for 3.

You're on a roll as usual!

[Feeling the Bern]

32. Harold Ford, Jr and most of those God damn DINO Blue dogs!

[zentrum]

20. Rahm saw. Rahm knew.

Rahm didn't care. The city even proactively offered money to the family without the family even suing. Rahm threw money at the "problem", like his ilk always does.

[Feeling the Bern]

21. So, according to that asshole, murder by citizens is horrible and needs to be prosecuted to the

fullest extent of the law. Murder by police is something that needs to be kept quiet.

Also, if you noticed, he has prejudiced the potential jury pool, making a mistrial possible.

All together now: FUCK YOU RAHM!!!!

[merrily]

31. Let's face it: If an F U could harm the man, he'd have decomposed 25 years ago.

[libdem4life]

24. He has honed his evil ways with Obama and the Clintons. I've suspected

I've suspected he manages to get something or info, then uses it to manipulate. There have been many misdeeds ... to say the least.

[Kalidurga]

27. FTP

I hope I get to see him in cuffs.

[Fumesucker]

29. The don't call him Rahm the Nine Fingered for nothing
