Democrat Bob Beckel: “I Got a Call from Somebody at the White House ”

[Amelia]

Politics is politics. Chicago isn't different than anywhere else.

Yes it is.

Chicago Called Most Corrupt City In Nation « CBS Chicago

Chicago is famous for corruption, sure. In our minds, it's connected to the concept of corruption.

Public perception isn't the same as reality, though.

Pretending that the city of Chicago invented corruption and personality politics is completely asinine, though.

Richard Daly was nothing compared to Boss Tweed.

Boss Tweed died in 1878. Chicago's excesses are current and extreme.


Chicago didn't invent corruption, but it has made an art form out of it.

Naturally this would happen. A political party is not going to allow their unified front to be dissolved that easily.

Is that why they pay people to lie about Republicans?

I read your link. There are a lot of problems with the data he's using.

Measuring corruption by conviction rate doesn't take into account all the corruption that doesn't get prosecuted.

There's no question that Chicago has a long history of corruption. I'm not arguing that at all.

I'm arguing the asinine claim that Chicago somehow "invented" corruption.

Too bad.. I like Beckel... kinda took me a while to get used to him though. Better watch his step.. he might get Vince Fostered.

You mean he's porking' Her Thighness' Hillary too?

Beckel is liberal for a paycheck.

Nobody called him.

It is not proof of anything.

Carson was not audited because of anything he said.

I looked up the definition of 'hack' and there was a picture of you, I mean your dumb avatar

This is better than any gift or the like. Watching the final nail in the Coffin of the, hem, hem, historical FAIL of the Obama presidency.

What a wad

I know it makes you guys feel better to think that the good ol' boys in Bumfuck, Iowa are footing NYC's tax bill, but it's nonsense.

Now you've got something against Iowa?

The person my post was responding to.

nice spin attempt. the point was that chicago politics has been corrupt for years, the politics of personal destruction originated there, obama learned it there. obama is a chicago political thug.

Nothing specific, I'm sure it's beautiful.

It's just the first example of a "flyover state" that I could think of.

Then you LIED.

Because simple corruption and politics of personal destruction are not the same things

 

[Moonglow]

Yeah, the military told me how to act also.

You bet. We are talking Chicago here.

This is not a joke my friend.

You couldn't find Chicago on a U.S. Map.

You people are ridiculous with your moronic Fox News talking points.

Do you realize how stupid you sound making a reference to Chicago with every criticism of Obama? Without NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles -- all of you country bumpkins and red state fools would starve and turn to cannibalism within a year.

• NYC - controls your money and your employers' money, stocks, insurance.
  
• Chicago - #2 Business and corporate Hub. + Central Rail and trucking hub.
  
• Los Angeles - #3 Business and corporate Hub. + Largest Port in U.S.

You don't like those three cities?? Well, guess what? We don't give a shit. You're an ungrateful bug in their eyes. They'll tolerate your disrespect as long as you promise to never, ever, ever come to their city. Just stay in Dumbfuckistan and we'll keep the machine running and the junk food, cheap goods, and cable tv flowing your way.

YOU won't do shit. You're nobody. Utterly powerless.

All you can do is talk tough on the internet -- and you're no good at that.

What the hell was that?

A demand for respect not for anything he's done, but simply for where he lives...as if that's some remarkable achievement.

Although, to be fair, not having been shot yet in Chicago is, I suppose, something to brag about.

They didn't invent it...but they sure did perfect it.

Ah yes...because as we all know...it's the big cities that are the BACKBONE of America! All those people in the "fly over" States need to just shut up and pay their taxes so that the big cities don't go into bankruptcy.

You know that in terms of tax revenue, the "fly over states" count for a tiny fraction of the revenue generated by big cities, right?

Yeah. Good luck feeding yourselves with rooftop container gardens.

Chicago, like Washington DC, shows just how effective gun control is
