It’s nice to see Democrats helping the Republican fantasy talking points along:
Last spring Mahoney was a country club Republican believing in none of our values and sharing in none of our dreams. Then Rahm, knowing full well that Foley was an out of control pedophile who might slip up, promised him a good shot at a cushy, lucrative congressional seat. And all he’d have to do would be to make a switch on a piece of paper at the registrar’s office and declare that he’s a registered Democrat instead of a registered Republican. That’s Rahm Emanuel’s kind of candidate.
Let’s remind everyone that there is no evidence that Rahm knew anything about Foley until after the press hit the story–and in fact, Hastert kept the information from even the Democratic members of the committee overseeing the Page program….
Criticizing Rahm is fine. I’m critical of some of his decisions and I understand many who are far more critical. However, doing the Republicans bidding is usually what many progressives argue the DLC is doing. Explain to me how Klein isn’t doing it.
Emanuel is the type of Democrat we need to win. But in doing so, he is a threat to “progressives” who always believed they’d be the ones to usher the Democrats back into power.
