Yes.

But if we are going to get into the nitty gritty and ask me if I saw it with my own two eyes, the answer would be no.

It's common knowledge though. Just like it's common knowledge that his vehicle brigade routinely blows red lights and speeds through side streets all the time. Dumb as$.

Is liberalism pro wall street and anti union?? Since when??

Liberalism is a very slippery word. Centuries ago it would have been associated with its original Latin root which Merriam Webster says is "the quality or state of being free." Now the word has done a 180, and as we see with smoking bans, gun bans, high taxes, etc, "liberal" equates to the state of being coerced.

Rahm Emanuel was an important cog in both the Clinton and Obama admins. He is a liberal by the current definition of the term. Own it.

Fortunately, you haven't made an ass out of u and me. Just you.

The world you live in isn't binary, even if you continue to cling to the belief that it is.
Please don't try and pass yourself off as something you're not. Your posting history clearly puts you in the conservative ranks. Why do you deny it? The rest of your post is just mindless drivel.

Yes. Before the Progressives took over the word "liberal" I would have been a liberal. Today, I might call myself a "Jeffersonian Liberal", or one who believes in INDIVIDUAL Liberty over a powerful State.

Today's Liberal suppresses the Individual for the needs of the State. Today's Democrats and too many Republicans are "Liberal" (aka Progressive).

I wonder how Rahm will take advantage of THIS 'crisis"?

Wow, that's crazy. That's pretty brazen of the clowns that did this, but you may be right -- maybe Emanuel has worn out his welcome to the police. Kinda cold letting a kid take a beatdown, but honestly, all that happened to him was a fat lip and a stolen phone.

I remember reading something about his vehicle brigade doing that. That is truly a dumb ass move.

Listen Rahm has worn out his welcome - but I have a hard time believing that the cops would let that happen to his kid. Rahm yes. His son, no.

I said it, true enough. But I don't believe it would REALLY happen that way.

I'm fairly certain that you have no clue as to what I am.

As I said before, in your binary world, there are only 1's and 0's. But in the real world -- not the fictional world the media has you believing in -- there are things OTHER than liberals and conservatives.

So.....for example: if someone bashes Obama, that doesn't mean they are a "conservative". I realize this may violate your binary principles, but trust me, it's true.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing the cops would let that happen, too.

Well......at least to the kid. To the dad, probably anything is fair game to the police!

This is clear retribution of the laws he put in place. I guess he'll think twice before spouting off at the mouth again about our 2nd amendment rights.

SMH in disgust at what some people think is amusing.

When Jews were getting their heads smashed in and their shops burned to the ground, a lot of people were smiling then, too. Not much has really changed with some people.
