October 11, 2007 -- Rahm Emanuel: the mini-Rove of the Democratic Party
US Representative Rahm Emanuel, the chairman of the House Democratic
Caucus and former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee (DCCC), has a history of penetrating opposition political
campaigns in a manner reminiscent of Karl Rove.
WMR has learned that Emanuel went to work for Ohio Senator John
Glenn's presidential campaign in Illinois in 1984 with the intention
of disrupting it. A Glenn campaign worker told WMR that he got into a
physical altercation with Emanuel after Emanuel attempted to take
control of campaign responsibilities without authorization. Glenn had
an off-and-on stormy relationship with Ohio's other Democratic
senator, Howard Metzenbaum, a strong supporter of Israel.
Emanuel again crossed paths with the Glenn campaign official in 1988.
The former Glenn official was working for Illinois Senator Paul
Simon's presidential campaign and Emanuel again appeared on the
scene. Simon's campaign ultimately failed with Massachusetts Governor
Michael Dukakis, another strong supporter of Israel, picking up the
Democratic nomination.
Emanuel served in the Israel Defense Force during Desert Storm in
1991. Emanuel's father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a member of the Israeli
terrorist group Irgun Zvai Leumi, whose ideological mentor was Ze'ev
Jabotinsky, a Jewish fascist who admired Italy's dictator and Adolf
Hitler ally Benito Mussolini. Jabotinsky is, along with German-born
Leo Strauss, a founder of the modern neo-conservative movement, which
has strong underpinnings in fascist and National Socialist ideology.
The Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, killing
and wounding a number of British soldiers. The group also specialized
in planting bombs in Arab markets (souks) in Palestine, killing a
number of civilians.
WMR has heard from a number of Democratic congressional candidates in
California, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia, Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia who have complained that Emanuel acts as
a political "litmus test" gatekeeper, ensuring that only those
Democrats swearing allegiance to strong support for Israel and a
strong US military presence in the Middle East receive Democratic
campaign contributions and political support. The Democrats would
have increased their numbers in the House in 2006 had Emanuel's DCCC
provided more funds for cash-strapped Democratic candidates in
congressional districts where GOP incumbents were vulnerable.
Although Emanuel is from Illinois, he is not supporting Democratic
presidential candidate and Illinois US Senator Barack Obama. Emanuel,
a former official in the Bill Clinton White House, is strongly in
Hillary Clinton's camp.

Eureka!! We now have a number 2 for We the People's hit list for
Democrat slime to off in 2008. Number one is Pelosi. All
recommendations must be supported by evidence such as our host
provides us here.

Steny Hoyer, if I remember what you said before, Mr. Madsen, is
part of the Israel-first block.

Emanuel starved Col. Bob Bowman for cash in Bowman's Florida '06
congressional race. Col. Bowman was outspent 30 to 1, I believe and
still won 44% of the vote. Col. Bowman is also an outspoken proponent
of a new and real investigation of 9/11.
Is that an investigation Emanuel does not want to take place,
for fear of where it may lead, perhaps?

Steny Hoyer's sister is Bernice Manocherian. She was President
of AIPAC in 2004.
Excerpt of Hoyer's speech to AIPAC conference in 2004: "... Now
let me speak about my sister, Bernice, your incoming president. She
and I were born not together, but at the same hospital in New York
City. I was born at least a couple of decades before Bernice. Bernice
does not have a microphone, but she said, absolutely. Bernice, we are
so proud of you, we sons and daughters of the Fifth Avenue Flower
Hospital. And I look forward to working as closely with you as I have
with Amy – as I have with Howard. I know you will do an extraordinary
job. (Applause.)"

Here's an important article from CounterPunch:
http://www.counterpunch.org/taylor10102007.html
One of the unintended consequences of 911 was that it brought a
sense of "we are all in this together" between the races in the USA
and in particular between Blacks and Whites. I witnessed many
poignant moments on that fateful day while watching TV of Black
victims helping White victims and the reverse. It was hard not to
notice and it was one of the few heartening things going on that day.
It's become obvious to me that during and since Katrina that the
Machine is trying hard to undo that. We can't let them.
I'll second the nomination of Emanuel as a person to be voted
out of office. We're got two now. We'll need a strategy of course.
