OUR REPUBLICAN MAYOR:
Why the left hates this man: Rahm Emanuel's sins against the progressive movement (HEATHER DIGBY PARTON, 3/24/15, Salon)
The only sort of sin they believe in anymore is against liberal orthodoxy.When the newly elected President Obama tapped him as chief-of-staff, you could hear progressives screaming "nooooooo" across the land. And when he departed to run for mayor of Chicago, the collective sigh of progressive relief (everywhere but Chicago) was just as audible. He is, in other words, the symbol of everything progressives are trying to change about the Democratic Party.
