Sanders New Ad that goes after Rahm Emmanuel. Sure to play well in Illinois!

[Nanjeanne]

&sns=tw

[bigdarryl]

1. I'm not to sure he got reelected with the Democrats and the Black vote

Which I was surprised

[questionseverything]

2. that was before everyone saw the video

hopefully now people are awake

[bigdarryl]

91. They won't even call for him to be recalled so somebody likes this guy.

[Nanjeanne]

3. Well if Dems don't like him, it's not good for Clinton that's he's her guy.

[malletgirl02]

41. Low voter turn out? nt.

[DhhD]

111. Teachers stayed out of the classroom on Friday, March 10 to protest educational decisions by

the Mayor.

[SamKnause]

50. President Obama campaigned for him.

[Erose999]

96. He was Obama's first cheif of staff. As I recall he was NOT relieved of his duties after calling

the left "retards".

fuck Rahm Emmanuel.

[SamKnause]

97. Agree.

[PyaarRevolution]

79. There is suspected voter fraud with Rahm.

At least when he ran against Chuy.

[Bubzer]

86. Election fraud... not voter fraud.

Voter fraud is virtually non existent. Election fraud, however, is disturbingly pervasive.

[ibegurpard]

4. wow

He went there.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. Wow. That principal is a brave guy himself for speaking out.

Great ad.

[ibegurpard]

6. No doubt!

[corbettkroehler]

24. Truth's On His Side

Together with Councilman Garcia, Bernie could do well in Chitown.

[angrychair]

55. He is

But realize that my brothers and sisters in the Chicago Teacher's Union are demanding he resign.
Sanders supports their union.

[raging moderate]

75. Troy LaRaviere is that very brave principal.

Thank you for pointing out the bravery of Troy LaRaviere. Perhaps his name is one to watch for in the coming years.

[kath]

7. Smart move, Bernie!

Woot!!

[Hoyt]

8. Not sure that is what loyal Democrats do right now, no matter how much one dislikes RE.

Another area where Trump and Sanders align.

[TM99]

10. Seriously?

But I am sure you support Clinton's rat-fucking in the last debate trying to tie Sanders to the Militiamen and the Koch brothers.

[Hoyt]

12. Sanders did support the Border Klan by voting for that legislation. Kochs are

seeming to support Sanders because they know even Trump can beat him in a landslide. Clinton was right.

[AlbertCat]

21. Sanders did support the Border Klan by voting for that legislation.

Kochs are seeming to support Sanders because they know even Trump can beat him in a landslide.

[TM99]

23. Nope.

And thanks for proving your hypocrisy for us all.

We are only loyal to Democrats if we attack Sanders but not Clinton. Gotcha!

Clinton was lying through her fucking teeth as she usually does.

[Hoyt]

25. Did the Border Klan's goals benefit from Sanders' support? Seems to me they did.

Why else would Kochs say anything positive about Sanders other than they think he's beatable?

[TM99]

28. No they did not.

Read any article. This was debunked here thoroughly.

Koch's have given money to the Clintons. Hell they help fund the DLC. They win if a Clinton or a Republican are in the White House.

[Hoyt]

30. And Clinton was correct they are seeming to say good things about Sanders.

[TM99]

33. Clinton is factually

correct and using it as an artful smear. But hey fuck loyalty right?

Sanders is more than right to call her out for her support of that racist POS Emmanuel.

[Luminous Animal]

70. You know what? Until you just said that I wouldn't have characterized Emmanuel as

a racist. But really and truly he is. The suppression of the video under his watch, his unwillingness to clean house as a result of the video becoming public? Yep a racist.

Now people will make an argument that he is only playing politics to keep the support of a powerful union but when the ethos of that powerful union is racist. Then yep, you are a racist.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

80. Or maybe just hopelessly corrupt

Pretty sad when the nicest thing I can say about a guy is that he's merely hopelessly corrupt, and not a hopelessly corrupt racist.

[tblue37]

49. The "good things" were agreeing that the US gives corporations too much welfare

and that extreme income inequality is wrong. Heck, I agree with Koch on those points--don't you? (emphasis added in excerpt)

“The senator is upset with a political and economic system that is often rigged to help the privileged few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the least advantaged. He believes that we have a two-tiered society that increasingly dooms millions of our fellow citizens to lives of poverty and hopelessness,” the conservative megadonor who largely funds libertarian causes, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that was posted on the newspaper’s website on Thursday afternoon. “He thinks many corporations seek and benefit from corporate welfare while ordinary citizens are denied opportunities and a level playing field. I agree with him.”

The billionaire businessman and philanthropist said that both political parties and the business community are responsible for pushing for and enacting policies that “perpetuate a cycle of control, dependency, cronyism and poverty in the United States.”

[Hoyt]

87. You think he'll endorse Sanders in the GE, or is he just hoping to help him

in the primary?

[quakerboy]

82. Who do they give money to?

If I say I love one person, but I buy a house and a diamond ring for a different person, which one do I love?

[Erose999]

98. Indeed, a letter was posted from the office of the DSCC fundraising coordinator addressed to the

Kochs soliciting donations. They were probably on the donor list for their donations to the likes of "Blue Dogs" and DLC'ers like Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, etc etc etc.

The DSCC of course said it was a "staff error", but regardless the Kochs have supported Dem establishment candidates.

I think their "support" of Bernie is an attempt to discredit him. They know he's running a campaign against their money so the easiest thing they can do is spend their money "supporting" him, without his consent or authorization, of course.

[ellennelle]

35. kochs support bernie??

bernie has a principled problem with the export/import bank; they have a nefarious problem with it. that is the agenda of their ad, using him.

and pray, on what reality might you be basing your notion that trump would beat him in a landslide? bernie has not lost to him in any polling, and beats him badder than hillary does.

just polls, i know, but find one that supports your claim.

[PyaarRevolution]

43. Thanks for these responses.

I've got a bead now on why you support Free instead of Fair Trade.

[Uglystick]

53. How about the fact that Bernie learned before voting that the agencies involved

are not informing Mexico of anything except what is required on the treaty. He was told that the bill does nothing.

[noiretextatique]

76. No...he did not. Neither did Cynthia McKinney or the other 65

Democrats who voted for that amendment, which went nowhere anyway.

[bvar22]

99. Sanders defended the Constitution and the right of individual citizens...

...to do what they want as long as they are within the law.
Are Neighborhood Watch Programs illegal, immoral, or unconstitutional?
Neither are citizen Border Watch programs as long as they remain within the law.

Like the ACLU, defending the rights of Private Citizens under our Constitution is not the same as endorsing their activities.

[ibegurpard]

11. I'm pretty sure

That Democrats need to expunge the party of scum like Rahm.

[Hoyt]

13. You probably think a GOPER would be an improvement.

[ibegurpard]

19. I'm pretty sure that with a lowlife like Rahm

There's not enough difference
He'd make the entire city pay-to-play if he could.

[Hoyt]

20. Yet, the city votes for him.

[Arazi]

29. Rahm Emanual suppressed the Laquan McDonald shooting video til after the election

if it had come out before he would have certainly lost for protecting rogue killer cops

[mucifer]

57. The amount of money he had was insane compared to Garcia.

It was disgusting.

You also seem to have no idea about the anger these days just about all of us Chicagoans have against Rahm.

There are sooo many controversies going on here that he is a part of. Between the police, the schools and the red light and speeding cameras he has made a lot of enemies. His policies attack the poor.

[ellennelle]

37. y'know, i can actually think

of republicans (not sitting or serving, but gopers) who would do a better job than rahm.

the man is scum.

[ljm2002]

40. Chuy Garcia would be an improvement. n/t

[jillan]

58. So you are okay with the cover-up of the murder of Laquan McDonald?

They are trying to get Rahm removed from office.

Not only for the above but for taxpayer giveaways to his cronies, taking away major funds from public schools.

People in Chicago are disgusted with him.

But if you want to make excuses for him because he's friends with Hillary - okay - whatever!

[Hoyt]

105. Actually I'm not, nor am I OK with anyone who supports gun manufacturers or votes to help

Last edited Fri Mar 11, 2016, 08:19 PM - Edit history (1)

the Border Klan intimidate and perhaps shoot people coming to this country for a better life.

I'll vote for Sanders if he is nominated, but I hope that does not happen.

[Peace Patriot]

15. "Loyal Democrats," huh? Okay, here's a loyal Democrat...

I'm 70 years old and have been volunteering for Democrats and voting for Democrats for over 50 years. Never missed an election. First campaign was for JFK in 1960, at age 16.

That loyal enough for you?

And I am sick and tired of this "loyalty oath" that we are supposed to take now, because Hillary Clinton is in trouble on so many fronts--from her association with mass murderer Henry Kissinger, to her association with PNAC's Robert Kagan, the original neocon warmonger, to her association with Rahm Emmanuel and his lies and coverup of Chicago police brutality and murder.

I will not be loyal to THAT. Sorry!

[Hoyt]

17. I guess a GOPER will be more to your liking.

[Arazi]

31. Chuy Garcia would have won if the McDonald shooting video wasn't suppressed

[cannabis_flower]

34. Quit it!

Just stop!

[mhatrw]

47. Hell will freeze over before a Repuke becomes the mayor of Chicago. nt

[Person 2713]

59. Huh? Come to Chicago and say that

Dem or Dem ? those are pretty much your choices here
He was in a run off race last election with a Dem
Garcia is a Dem

[noiretextatique]

77. That would be laughable

If it wasn't so tragic. Clinton agrees more with GOP than she disagrees.

[Hoyt]

106. You can't pull the age card on me. :)

[AlbertCat]

16. loyal Democrats

Oh please.....


Loyalty tests....

Do loyal Dems vote for Repug lite?

[Hoyt]

18. When they assist GOPers, yes.

[AlbertCat]

22. When they assist GOPers, yes.

That's why I'm not for Hillary.

[mhatrw]

46. LOL. Do you know anything about the strength of the Repuke party in Chicago?

[Person 2713]

62. +606 This is a fantasy even Illinois Republicans don't have !

[NHprogressive]

36. Can you articulate what you like about Rahm Emanuel's record?

I'm intrigued.

[Hoyt]

108. Better than a GOPer.

[NHprogressive]

109. Not a glowing recommendation, obviously, as well being as a little thin on content

I do agree with you that he is better than your average republican, and that is exactly as far as I can go with it. Past that, I'd say he is/was a disaster in terms of core Democratic values.

[mhatrw]

45. Why? Do you think Chicago is going to elect a Repuke mayor?

[JoeyT]

48. You use the phrase "loyal" like it's a good thing.

Loyalty is a great thing when you're being loyal to your friends, your family, your spouse.

Loyalty to a group, especially when it means completely eliminating criticism from within the group has never and will never be a good thing. It's one of the major defining characteristics of cults, dictatorships, and other authoritarian groups.

So if the best insult you've got to hurl is "Disloyal!", you should understand that people with actual principles take it as a compliment.

[jpb33]

66. Loyalty

One is in a political party based on shared ideals, not unconditional loyalty. Once that party and its political leaders stop sharing those ideals and start peddling ideals that you don't agree with you leave that party and abandon the politician.

We are not loyal to individual politicians no matter what. I for one am only loyal to a politician if he shares my ideals, once that politician (no matter who it is) abandons those ideals I will no longer remain loyal.

[jpb33]

51. My, My

Supporters of Clinton seem to follow her lead even when it is leading them right off a cliff. Not only does Clinton misunderstand the voting public she makes odd attack strategies. It seems her supporters like yourself have that same talent.

Thinking that attacking Bernie for going after a very despised mayor, despised by his own party members, grass roots, and more and more of the party leaders, would hurt him.

All I ask is to keep it up! It makes you look ridiculous and just plain awful at political strategy.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

52. "Loyal" to what?

Notice I didn't say, "who'?

[MisterFred]

54. Perhaps you are right!

But I'm against Rahm Emanuel, and I like this. I'll let you decide if I count as loyal to the party. I'll settle for being loyal to what's right.

[Gwhittey]

63. I am a Indepenant

I voted for Sanders because my state is a open primary. So um what is a loyal Democrat actually mean when my core political beliefs seem to be the FARFARFAR left of a lot of HRC supporters. Like I don't care if a (R) got into office if it meant getting a corrupt (D) out. RE is just that. He hid tapes of a cop murdering a unarmed black male. Now I would be used to arguing something like this on GOP forum but I really can't understand posts like this on DU forum. I guess Democratic party is just a name and not a set of ideals. Might as well just merge with GOP then because it seems many believe in same things.

[Ken Burch]

65. Loyal Dems owe nothing to Rahm.

the mayor's seat is nonpartisan in Chicago now, and Rahm was re-elected with Republican support against most of the Democratic party.

He had AA support, but that is gone now and never coming back.

Woody would be singing for Bernie if he was with us today, btw.

[Person 2713]

67. True RE won the run off race with Garcia because of his big AA support

That is why hiding that video before the election (and after, someone had to sue for release) was so important to his winning
That is all gone now big time

[Ken Burch]

68. HRC either has to ditch the AA vote in Chicago or ditch Rahm's fundraising abilities.

She can't have both.

[Person 2713]

69. I bet they will not be seen together before the vote next week

Which isn't how it was suppose to go

[Ken Burch]

71. It's beginning to feel like an episode of The Good Wife. n/t.

[BlueStreak]

92. Rahm is the poster boy for "There's no real difference between Reps and Dems"

I can't think of any other person who has done more damage to our party in the past 20 years.

[passiveporcupine]

72. You think democratic loyalty is more imporant than the lives of the constituents

under a bad mayor?

[FighttheFuture]

85. Right, better to loyally follow the establishment dems like cattle down the slaughter chute...

Never dare question the crap that has kept this party of Jefferson and FDR two steps behind the Republicans for so long.

THIS IS THE EXACT TIME TO QUESTION THESE ASSCLOWNS!!! When they really can't ignore them as their asses are on the line.

Sure. Dems are better on social issues, but these social issues won't feed me and my family and secure a decent job and livable future, for the most part. What they really do is let of some steam from the pressure cooker!!

Now that Bernie is turning up the heat the Establishment is running like cockroaches with the lights on!!

[harun]

89. RE is a DINO, screw him

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

90. "Loyal" Democrats? Are they like "Just following orders" Democrats?

[BernieforPres2016]

9. Fantastic!

We had a couple of threads yesterday on Rahm Emanuel yesterday and were wondering if Bernie would go after him. Great ad.

So does Hillary stay with Rahm?

[xloadiex]

14. Her commercials are playing here

all day long. Her main one is about saying their names, Trayvon, Sandra Bland, etc. Not 1 commercial does she mention Laquan McDonald. That would hurt her buddy Rahm. I'll guarantee when Hillary is here, Rahm will be nowhere in site.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

81. I'm sure anyone who is paying attention has noticed the omission.

[SoapBox]

26. I LOVE it!

Go Bernie!

And America, wake the fuck up!

[WillyT]

27. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[tomm2thumbs]

32. love the commercial and thanks for posting it

[ErikJ]

38. Bernie is poster boy for honesty integrity. Hillary and Rahm not so much.

[zentrum]

39. Great Ad.

DLC-founder Rahm is a snake in mayor's clothing.

[ljm2002]

42. Fantastic ad!

And: Go, Bernie!!!!!

[Eric J in MN]

44. Let's spread that ad on Facebook and Twitter.

Right-click the video for the web address.

[jillan]

56. I'd still like him to tie Hillary to Rahm. She did stand with him during his re-election.

[Half-Century Man]

60. Oh look, over a hundred thousand votes on the horizen.

The seem to be coming this way.

[Fuddnik]

61. Rahm responds....

THAT'S FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!!!!

[Mufaddal]

83. lol I was thinking the same thing.

He's such a liability for Hillary.

[Ken Burch]

64. Good choice. Everyone knows a vote for HRC is a vote of support for Rahm.

It's could be a very different story with the AA vote in Illinois than it was on Super Tuesday.

[nikto]

73. IMO, fighting against Rahm Emanuel and his ilk ...

Is fighting a fascistic enemy just as toxic as any GOPer.


Bernie knows that part of America's problem lies not only with
the GOP, but with a corporatist-leaning Democratic Party that must be re-captured back
to work for, and represent, regular working People.

The big banks and corps already have a party----I't's called the Republican Party.

We need to take back the Democratic Party from the elites and make it REAL again.

THAT is the threat Bernie represents to the Establishment.

[liberal_at_heart]

74. THIS IS MY NEXT PRESIDENT! Bernie Sanders for President 2016! I have been waiting for someone,

anyone to stand up to both parties for what they are doing to our education system. It was Race to the Top and Common Core that made me switch from being a Democrat to being an Independent.

[LWolf]

78. I am thrilled to see this.

To be honest, seeing Rahm go down in flames in Chicago is second only to seeing Bernie win the Democratic nomination this year when it comes to political events that will bring me joy.

[FighttheFuture]

84. Ahhh Rahm, DLC Tumor on the Democratic Party. Their time is passing, like a Kidney stone...

[Betty Karlson]

88. Brought a tear to my eye.

Might be his best ad yet.

[Chicago1980]

93. Seeing as there's no mayoral election for another three years, it really means squat.

[apnu]

102. Except that poking Rham will play well with Chicagoans.

Its about tying Hillary to Rham.

[Chicago1980]

110. Meh...

He isn't on the ballot.

It's kind of a roundabout way of trying to tie Rahm to Clinton.

[deepestblue]

94. Bernie Sanders

Let's help this good man get in to the White House where he can enact positive change across the board!

[Uncle Joe]

95. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Nanjeanne.

[TheFarS1de]

100. K&R

All Sanders has to do is keep doing what he is doing , telling the truth .

[Beacool]

101. Talk about being an opportunist.....

The some of you have the gumption to use that term to judge Hillary.

[pangaia]

103. I like the guy in the Bob Marley "Revolution" hat.

[Sienna86]

104. It's perfect.

A CPS principal narrates. Rahm is not liked here. He is seen as part of the coverup of Laquan McDonald's death at the he hand of police. And he has decimated the Chicago public schools. Rahm is also a friend of out wealthy Republican governor Rauner, and Rauner's budget impasse is hurting so many people. Very sad. Neither will be reflected, in my opinion.

[Dont call me Shirley]

107. Great ad! Call out these phones Dems!

[Enthusiast]

112. Wow! Incredible! Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!
