Rahm: Dems Attacking Other Dems Are "Fucking Stupid"

The Plum Line:

Sources at the meeting tell me that Emanuel really teed off on the Dem-versus-Dem attacks, calling them "f-king stupid." This was a direct attack on some of the attendees in the room, who are running ads against Dems right now.

Rahm - we know your corporatist and AIPAC allegiances.

[Leper]

Maybe Mr. Emanuel ought to address this to Senator Kent Conrad and the rest of the Blue Dogs.

There is a phenomenal video on YouTube of Illinois’ Senator Durbin on health insurance. It tells why Americans need Universal Health coverage.

It is EXCELLENT! It needs to go viral. Please watch it.

Obama asked us to be involved and to help him get to us what it is we want.

We're just following Obama's advice.

We put public policy ahead of party - and especially ahead of people who are really Republicans but call themselves Democrats.

Rahm, YOU are starting to sound like a big part of _"the"_problem_.
.

[TVsFrank]

Thanks, Rahm, for reminding me that Spot is due for his first rabies shot.

[stargazer13]

so how much did you get for selling your soul Rahm 30 silver pieces

what is stupid is that you and the blue dogs keep blocking universal health care for all

the people spoke loud and clear this last Nov 08

we gave your man a mandate ( Obama )

and now you call us stupid because we resist the wolf in sheep's clothing

we are not stupid and no we have not ingested enough lead as of yet to believe that you are our shining knight in armor come to save the day

sorry but I do not and never could follow blindly

so keep your stupid comments to your self because you are not helping any one the way I see it

Rahm is correct and the left has a long history of rounding up people for a firing squad. They form the firing squad in a circle and when the bullets fly everyone gets hit.....even those shooting.

That is how the left falls out of power each and every time....it is like a comic book.

[hallowellboy]

Not so Rahm. Democrats that work against Democratic principles need to be identified and booted from holding positions of power in the Party. You need to stop your deal making and become a little more principled. You should be advising Obama to focus on healthcare, immigration reform, repealing DOMA and DADT for starters. Enough defending the right winger Dems.

[disgusted48]

yep, yep and yep.

[barkrudedog69]

Your party is full of every position. It stands for everything and nothing because it cannot stand in unity.

[17ladyslippers]

Tip my hat to the Party of NO... Organize they can do; for all of the wrong reasons.

[FilthyHarry]

Just as stupid as not fighting for the policies your party is founded upon, even though you hold majorities in both houses of congress and of course the executive branch.

Although I guess Rahm is correct IF you assume the only goal of elected office is to be re-elected.

[middleoftheroad]

Unless the only reason you won in moderate districts is by being a liar on where you really stand. Not all dems are progressive libs.

[Georgiapundit]

EXACTLY...thank you Rahm.

[masher]

So... I guess you want more Obama style corporate welfare?

[Georgiapundit]

I never said that.

[disgusted48]

he needs to expand his vocabulary.

[ManwithaParachute]

Rahm, you are a FU(&ing ID10T. Please stop talking forever.

[NoahVail]

What is f*#king stupid is recruiting Republicans to run as Democrats.

If these DLC guys can't support the party's platform, then they should be replaced. There is a place to "come together", and its called the party's platform. The last time I checked, that platform included a public option for health insurance. Also, membership in the party does not include insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and HMOs.

Marshall your troops, Rham, and there will be no need for them to be attacked.

[middleoftheroad]

You would not have those seats then ... You think waxman would win in a conservative district? You can't just say"let's get a liberal in there".

[masher]

Obama and Rham...just like Geithner and Summers, are marshaling the troops.

There is a change and the change is between which industries the welfare goes to. Team Bush was all about energy industries, communications, and military. And Team Obama is all about big pharma and the banks.

I also suspect Team Obama is trying to pass more H-1B visa regulations to put even more US workers out of work which is Bill Gates' vision.

[schatsie]

I will tell you what is FXXXXX STUPID, it is forcing us to pay 5% of our GDP for a lame and corrupt health care system.....GET IT STUPID!!!

[Bude]

I couldn't agree more. With all that's happened, one would think, that they would come together!

One would think.

[John51]

I also agree but in my mind Rahm and the Blue Dogs have and are Attacking the Democratic Electorate with their anti- Democratic behavior pertaining to H/C legislation. They have sold us out from the very beginning and are just putting on theatrics for the electorate. I think they were taken offguard by an engaged public and the public's response to the openly corrupt selling out of the Party by Rahm and his Blue Dogs.

[Dale Larson]

"I think they were taken offguard by an engaged public and the public's response to the openly corrupt selling out of the Party by Rahm and his Blue Dogs."

You are dead on!

Rahm needs to actually go after the Democratic agenda which includes actual health CARE (not insurance) reform.

[masher]

A classic mistake is to assume that those in power have the same interests as you do.

[jmpurser]

I kind of thought that a democratic administration using the democratic party to attack liberal ideals was kind of stupid myself.

[SaddieMcCall]

What's with this elite clique of Blue Dogs attacking the other Dems?

[John51]

Spot On!!!
