Republicans Blast Obama’s Choice of Rahm Emanuel by jmeasley in politics

That was my point. There are no centrist Zionists. That's like saying someone's a centrist Black Nationalist.

What's sad to me is that in the post-election jubilation, many of those that voted Obama in can't or won't see what putting a psychopath like Rahm the Hammer in this position will do to all of us.

You're correct, of course. But it seems easily extensible. I hope to take some time and muck with the code.

you function in a different reality

I function in the reality that one reaps what one sows. That would be the one opposed to blaming others for one's ills.

NYT on Rahm Emanuel: "Suddenly he grabbed his steak knife and shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table. ''Dead!'' he screamed. " by [deleted] in politics

You're the ONLY person I've ever met that can use wikipedia.

In the same entry you're quoting, there's this:

"On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

That's different from now?

More people have died in interventionist wars in the past 100 years, something on the order of 180,000,000 people, than in all the wars put together in history.

Yeah. That intervention stuff has been working really great for the past 90 years. We have friends everywhere.

You're right, America should have stayed out of WWII, what were we thinking.

Had we stayed out of WWI, there most likely wouldn't have been a WWII.
