Chris Hayes Dubs Bill de Blasio ‘Republican Enemy No. 1’

Step aside Barack Obama, there’s a new “Republican Enemy No. 1″ in town–at least according to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

The All In host yesterday gave Bill de Blasio the new title, which was prominently affixed on an image of the Democratic mayor and was displayed beneath him as he spoke during an interview. Later, the text beneath Mr. de Blasio declared: “PROGRESS, NY.”

Before Mr. de Blasio came on the program, Mr. Hayes played a montage of conservative pundits and politicians castigating the proudly liberal pol. (“I call him Comrade Bill de Blasio,” quipped one.)

“Joining me now to outline his next battle plan–the terrifying, unceasing class war he’s waging against job creators–is none other than New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio,” Mr. Hayes said to introduce the mayor. Mr. de Blasio laughed.

[hrmjustin]

2. If he pisses them of so much he is doing a good job.

[gopiscrap]

3. I totally agree!!!

4. They are also angry because he has the city council in his corner.

5. Gone and going forever is the threat of a foreign enemy.

Those who truly mean you real harm are right here right now. All politics is local and is becoming increasingly confrontational.

6. Well the good thing in the city is the gop have no power in government.

Albany is a different story.

8. Check. My guess is that TPTB intend to rule via Albany and wait Big Bill out.

Cuomo, Inc. is über-malleable and the legislature is notoriously corrupt.

Meanwhile the billionaire news media will do everything it can to Dinkin-ize BDB.


But I think it's mega-cool that the RW noise machine is succumbing to deBlasiphobia after only 1 month in office.

(Re. "deBlasiphobia": If it catches on, remember: *I* coined it!)

9. They tried with the snowstorm to smear him.

They lied and said he neglected the UES but there was a major traffic jam and the plows could not get in there.


Albany is a cesspool no matter who controls it. I think it is the water.
