Don't look at me, that's how Paul Begala described him. I'm now hearing all about how Israel no longer has to worry, because Rahm Emanuel would never let Obama sell Israel down the river due to his Jewish and IDF background. Nonsense. That's dispositive of nothing.

How many people with religious Jewish and IDF backgrounds have we seen selling Israel and their fellow Jews down the river? Lots. I've watched religious Jew and IDF veteran Larry Lowenthal spend his waning days as Boston head of the AJC running cover for a Saudi-funded, Muslim Brotherhood dominated mosque. Given his background on paper, his behavior would appear shocking, but if you understand it as a continuation of his politics, then it becomes not only understandable but predictable.

Rahm Emanuel is a Democrat first. He's an insider's insider, and we all know how Jewish and Israeli issues can be rationalized one way or another depending on one's politics. Look at how many Jews voted for Obama! Astounding!

These guys have the must-reads:

Power Line: No more Mr. Nice Guy?

Debbie Schussel: Michael Moore Likely Guest in Obama White House: The Emanuel Connection

By the way, did we ever find out who exactly it was that had a say in telling Hillary Clinton to stay away from that anti-Ahmadinejad rally with Sarah Palin? Has anyone asked Rahm Emanuel?

Update: What's up with Rahm Emanuel's property taxes? The rich scamming the system and expecting everyone else to pay? What a shock. [Update: This particular allegation has been pretty convincingly exposed as false. The Illinois Review site misinterpreted a number of things.]

Michelle Obama out and out called Palin an idiot, a theme that her husband's Hollywood and NY supporters enthusiastically took up in between fantasizing about repeatedly slamming Palin to the ground and having her gang raped. Obama himself had... Read More

The story you link to about Rahm Emanuel's property taxes has been proven to be completely false (scroll down to the Updates in this fact-check post).

The original author of that post complaining about his taxes simply does not comprehend anything about how Cook County, Illinois assesses its taxes (despite it being not that difficult a concept to grasp).

Please retract the link, lest you also be portrayed as a fool for falling for it.

As I said, stop wasting precious time peddling conspiracy theories, when there are legitimate criticisms of the Democrats to be made. Keeping your eye on those legitimate criticisms would keep the Democrats honest and the country better off, as well as help the Republican image recover.

because Rahm Emanuel would never let Obama sell Israel down the river due to his Jewish and IDF background.

Heh, and Soros helped the Nazis confiscate Jewish prperty during the war!

On December 20, 1998, there appeared this exchange between Soros and Steve Kroft on “60 Minutes”: ..........
..........
Kroft: “My understanding is that you went … went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.”
Soros: “Yes, that’s right. Yes.”
Kroft: “I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?”
Soros: “Not, not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t … you don’t see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all.”
Kroft: “No feeling of guilt?”
Soros: “No.”
Kroft: “For example, that, ‘I’m Jewish, and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be these, I should be there.’ None of that?”
Soros: “Well, of course, ... I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was—well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in the markets—that is I weren’t there—of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would—would—would be taking it away anyhow.

So for RE it could also be that someone else could be doing it!

I should have added that this was from Martin Peretz in the New republic

The thing being ignored is that property taxes are illegal and immoral. You don't own your property you just rent it from the state. Try not paying the extortion tax for a few years and see what happens to your bought and paid for property. It is time to take our country back from the elites and give it back to the people.

"What looked like secularization was merely a veneer laid over a society that had been proudly Muslim for over a millenium. Moreover, the ostensible engine of Arab modernization -- Arab nationalism -- was little more than an elevated tribal covenant."
