Rahm Emanuel on Bill Maher is disappointing

[still_one]

Bill asked him how we were going to win 2006, and he gave a 5 point plan that DID NOT MENTION OR INCLUDE IRAQ

As far as I am concerned nothing has been learned for the past 6 years by the democrats.

[colorado thinker]

Agreed

and who is this Heather woman who is criticizing the generals? What the heck does she know?

[rusty charly]

4. and what kind of

"dominatrix pumpkin" outfit is she wearing?

[still_one]

7. LOL

Zinni(sic) is holding them in check

[rusty charly]

6. slap her down

she actually said "the way i understand it"

honey, when it comes to iraq, you understand it WRONG

[colorado thinker]

13. I'd love her to shut up.

She is extremely annoying . . . she's asking for them to answer a question and then won't shut up long enough to listen. Who is she, seriously? What is the Independent Women's Forum?

[question everything]

41. Agree.

Very annoying and took a lesson from all those morning shows hosts - asking a question and never wait for a reply

And Welcome to DU Colorado thinker
:toast: :bounce:

[rusty charly]

11. who is little miss heather?

The Independent Women's Forum

What is the Independent Women's Forum? Who runs the show at their Washington, DC-based offices and what are they about?

Media Transparency, a website tracking the money behind conservative politics, says that IWF, which has a $1.3 million yearly budget, is "neither Independent nor a Forum. Not independent because it is largely funded by the conservative movement. Not a forum because it merely serves up women who mouth the conservative movement party line." Between 1994 and 2001 IWF received more than $2.4 million in grants from such right-wing foundations as Castle Rock Foundation (Coors Family), the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, John M. Olin Foundation, and the Sarah Scaife Foundation. (For more on IWF, see: mediatransparency.org.)

IWF's Mission Statement is straightforward enough: "to affirm women's participation in and contributions to a free, self-governing society."

Here are the fine points:

"The Independent Women's Forum speaks for those who:

"Believe in individual liberty and responsibility for self-governance, the superiority of the market economy, and the imperative of equal opportunity for all.
"Respect and appreciate the differences between, and the complementary nature of, the two sexes.
"Affirm the family as the foundation of society.
"Believe women are capable of defining and asserting their interests and concerns in private and public life, and reject the false view that women are the victims of oppression.
"Believe political differences are best resolved at the ballot box, and therefore oppose court imposition of what the democratic process rejects.

"Endorse individual recognition and reward based on work and merit, without regard to group membership or classification."
Here's how Chris Black opened his May 2002 Chicago Tribune piece on IWF: "The conservative women at the Independent Women's Forum are cheering the return of the guy. From their standpoint, the terrorist attacks on the United States turned the feminist tide and brought back traditional values, a retreat to home and hearth, and an appreciation for the manly man."

Black points out that although IWF only has 1,600 members and prints only 16,000 copies of its journal, "The Women's Quarterly," the organization is "enjoying stature and influence in Washington far beyond its modest membership."

This is not surprising considering the high powered and well-connected conservative women that sit on IWF's Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Grace Paine Terzian, publisher of the Women's Quarterly, told Black that "We increasingly gain notice and respect. More of our type of people are in town now with the Bush administration. It is a good time for us. The common-sense ideas we have always promoted are now being played out in the administration."

Founded in 1992, as a direct response to the Clarence Thomas hearings, IWF's Board of Directors (including Directors Emeritae) consists of Chairman, R. Gaull Silberman, Vice Chairman, Heather R. Higgins, Carol Crawford, Kimberly O. Dennis, Wendy Lee Gramm (economist and wife of Sen. Phil Gramm), Nancy Mitchell Pfotenhauer, Sally C. Pipes, Directors Emeritae: Lynne V. Cheney, wife of the vice president, Midge Decter, Elizabeth Lurie, Kate O'Beirne, Washington Editor for the National Review, and Louise V. Oliver, former Vice President of Government Relations at the Heritage Foundation.

[colorado thinker]

18. Thanks

Why is she on Bill's show, if they only have 1600 members? The Girl Scouts have more members than these idiots.

[colorado thinker]

1. Agreed

and who is this Heather woman who is criticizing the generals? What the heck does she know?

[still_one]

2. obviously an administration plant

[burythehatchet]

3. Emanuel is a disappointment. Period.

[dysfunctional press]

37. Exactly. I'm stuck with the worthless shitbag as my congressman.

he's a total dlc hack.

repuke-lite.

[KoKo]

5. Emmanuel is just a hack...don't pay attention to him...he's beside the

point right now. We have other folks behind the scenes. Emmanuel just still thinks he's running things...

[still_one]

8. excellent point

[derby378]

9. Did he work against the Cegelis campaign in Illinois?

Just wondering...

[orleans]

16. yes, he backed tammy duckworth n/t

[KittyWampus]

14. He's a "hack"? Really? How So? Can't wait to hear from DU's "experts"

[KittyWampus]

So what were the 5 points? Hmmm? But Congrats on starting a bash Rahm

thread. How novel.

:puke:

[still_one]

19. He is in charge of us taking back Congress in 2006

and he doesn't think IRAQ is important enough to bring up?

Don't you think it should have been brought up? Shouldn't it be an issue in 2006?

[KittyWampus]

24. WHAT DID HE DISCUSS? What were the 5 points. Another DU'er posts

a thread that Rahm kicked Bush's ass onthe same show.

Yet YOU decide to bitch about what he DIDN'T say.

Everytime I've seen Rahm on tv, he's kicked ass.

You want to eat your own, then welcome to defeat in 06. Don't blame Rahm.

[still_one]

26. I am just giving you my opinion

I happen to believe the Iraq war is very important, and should be at the top of the list

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=992998&mesg_id=993147

[Gabi Hayes]

36. tell us all why you support him, please.

I felt the same way you did about his rhetorical skills, back in 04, but he's gone over to the anti-progressive wing of the party, far as I can tell


he's from the Rubin/Citigroup wing, as you must know, since you're the expert on him

exactly for WHOM does he speak?

please enlighten us

[Gabi Hayes]

34. oops...wrong post replied to

sorry

[KittyWampus]

10. So what were the 5 points? Hmmm? But Congrats on starting a bash Rahm

thread. How novel.

:puke:

[still_one]

22. the 5 points were all domestic

here is what I believe they were:

1. balancing the budget
2. healthcare
3. education
4. energy

I can't remember the 5th, and even though these issue are important, not to mention the Iraq war is a travesty in my view

[KittyWampus]

25. So you think it's constructive to trash Rahm on DU? He offers a PLAN

a plan that the GOP and Mediawhores constantly say we don't have... and you complain because he doesn't discuss a plan for Iraq.

Hmm, maybe with people paying $3+ for gas and no health insurance and unstable jobs people WANT TO HEAR ABOUT DOMESTIC ISSUES.

[still_one]

29. why do you think they are paying 3 bucks for gas

part of it is because of the Iraq war

I know I do not have to tell you how immoral the war is and how much death and destruction it has caused, but it has also destabilized the middle east, and unless the madness stops, everything else might be moot. It is not that the domestic issues are bad, it is that some of the reasons for the problems with the domestic issues are directly related to Iraq, and we do NOT even mention it, as we were afraid in 2004

[Sabriel]

12. Who IS this woman?

Someone please pinch her every time she uses another cliche.

[rusty charly]

20. ooooh!

bill just gave her a curt "quiet"

LOL

[meisje]

15. Budget and Health Care, what a fucking idiot. There is no going back.

We're fucked and we will never recover.

[KittyWampus]

28. Yeah, it's not like Americans give a shit about HEALTH CARE

[Guaranteed]

17. Look- that guy, that particular guy, doesn't get it. He never has.

He's a politician's politician. He doesn't care about what's right. He's just another insider Dem, playing politics rather than working toward a goal.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. I can't watch Maher, his repuke guests make me sick. I don't need

their crap.

[rusty charly]

23. baseball steroids

is up there with missing blondes, frankly.

[still_one]

32. I can't either, I need to get some fresh air

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. I like Maher, but his repukes guest make me ill, so I stopped watching

him. I don't know why he insists on having them on. He must know we don't like it. :shrug:

[DaveinMD]

27. it so helped us in 2004

to talk about nothing but Iraq.

[Guaranteed]

30. The problem was that the guy we had representing us voted to

authorize it.

[still_one]

31. They did NOT talk about Iraq in 2004

they talked about Kerry skirting around how he would have or have not voted about the IWR, and his swift boating

They should have NEVER listened to Carville, being married to Matilin he shouldn't be trusted, this is for our children, NOT FOR THEIR CAREERS

[DaveinMD]

43. its all Kerry talked about

we never talked about health care and jobs. Democrats win when we talk populist on those issues. But Kerry never even addressed those concerns.

[CrazyForKucinich]

35. Guy wants Hillary to be Prez. He's just plain dumb.

[dysfunctional press]

38. he's a dlc repuke-lite fuckwad.

that's why he backs warmonger hillary.

[Seabiscuit]

44. Took the words right out of my mouth.

[kentuck]

39. To us, he sucked...

To many people that vote, he may come across as a rational centrist? Just saying... :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. Once again..see the list! DLC. It always explains what's up with 'certain'

politicians. When their actions or words are questionable, I head for my trusty little DLC list and more often than NOT, their name is on it.:grr:

42. thanks for that list....keeper

Melissa Bean, next door to me, is a real treasure.

she voted for CAFTA, and is in thrall to big companies on the North Shore corridor


she spoke at our school a few weeks ago (internet predators) and it was very sad/funny. the kids saw right through her, and her "info" for them was laughable. they are SO FAR ahead of what she thinks she knows about online communication.

reminded me in a way of Reefer Madness

she knew she wasn't getting over, too

so did her advance team

wish I'd taped it

[dysfunctional press]

45. have little johnny edwards and wesley clark disavowed themselves...?

or is just that they don't hold any elective office that they don't make the list?

[in_cog_ni_to]

47. I know nothing about little Johnny Edwards and have no clue

whether he was or is a member of the DLC. Wes Clark is NOT a member and as far I know, never has been a member. Does that satisfy your inquiry? If you have PROOF of Wes Clark ever being a DLC member, I would appreciate a link to back up the claim. Thanks. An old membership list with his name on it, with a link, would be great.

[dysfunctional press]

50. wes clark may not be a member-

but that may only be because he has never held elective office- i do know that he is awfully chummy with the Clintons and other DLC'ers.

[mmonk]

51. They make my skin crawl.

[ChiciB1]

46. I Thought The Whole;e Program Was Lame Last Night....

Except Bill's last comments about the environment! Heather Higgins really was getting on my NERVES, and she just kept talking and talking and talking and talking...

She was just about the whole show! Even when Zinni tried to make points she just kept on TALKING! I noticed the audience was pretty quiet too!

Thumbs down for last night anyway!

[NightOwwl]

48. Please tell me this guy is irrelevant.

Because if he is the face of the Democratic Party, we are screwed.

What a stupid fuck. Excuse my blunt language, but if you don't know by now that one of the main points the Dems need to run on is troop withdrawal from Iraq, then sorry to say - you are a stupid fuck.
