What kind of person screams at mental health advocates?

[rhett o rick]

Rahm Emanuel, that's who.

Just days after launching a new TV ad where he tried to convince voters he has a softer side, Rahm Emanuel finally met with advocates who had been trying to meet with him for years, hoping to stop him from closing mental health clinics in communities struggling with violence and poverty. One of the advocates lost her son to gun violence, and pleaded with Rahm to reopen the clinics.

Off camera, after the event was over, Rahm Emanuel angrily screamed at one of the advocates: "YOU'RE GONNA RESPECT ME!"

Stories like this are why Chicago voters are ready to fire Rahm Emanuel and replace him with a progressive champion who will stand with the people: Jesús "Chuy" García. Now it's time to make sure Chicago voters know the truth about Rahm Emanuel.

That's why Democracy for America is teaming up with MoveOn, Daily Kos, and the Working Families Party to launch Calls for Chicago -- an unprecedented collaboration to get out the vote in Chicago.

The above is from DFA. Please support DFA, Moveon.org and other progressive organizations fighting for our democracy.

1. This reminds me -

time to donate to Chuy again.

[merrily]

2. When I saw only the headline, not the name, my thought was "someone who needs mental health care."

I don't know if I want to second guess myself.

[Kalidurga]

5. That is what I thought as well.

It turns out that I was right.

[Dont call me Shirley]

11. Me three. I thought not only someone who desperately needs mental health care but one who

does not respect mental health or mental health care workers.

12. Me, too. nt

3. So many questions....

answer themselves.


The smilie is for Rahm.

4. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

Rahm is unfit for office.

Rahm Emanuel is ruthless.

8. Get out the vote?

Be careful. In Chicago, that kind of thing has been known to wake up the dead.

9. Like Hillary - Rahm is important and exceptions must be made for Democrats who consider themselves

very important people.

The Democratic Party has stuffed itself with arrogant carpet baggers from the Republican Party. Time to get them out.

10. The power of TV ads

is gradually diminishing as people drop cable and toss their TV's.

The times of lazy politicians making a few speeches and debates and then running 3 info-commercials, their challenger responding with 5 ads and then comes 6 ads in rebuttal by the first guy and on and on until both campaigns have spent millions on media.

This is the "Corporatists" propaganda, you need mega-bucks to win so don't even bother unless you have corporate sponsers backing you and requiring your allegiance.

I hope Chuy blows him away with an inexpensive campaign of shoes on the ground.
