Is Chicago Mayor Dead Fish Emanuel acting like a Nazi by threatening to run Chik-Fil-A out of town because the CEO supports traditional marriage? That's what Nazi thugs do. Shame on you, Dead Fish. Perhaps he didn't learn from recent Jewish history.

Rahm Emanuel Joins Fight Against Chick-fil-A
Thursday, 26 Jul 2012 09:31 AM
By Henry J. Reske
Former top White House aide Rahm Emanuel has decided to join the
ongoing food fight between gay rights advocates and the president of
the fast food chain Chick-fil-A. The Chicago mayor wants to block
further expansion of the chain in the Windy City, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The battle erupted when Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said that he
supported the “biblical definition” of marriage as between a man and a
woman.
“I think we’re inviting God’s judgment when we shake our fist at him,
you know, [saying], ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a
marriage.’ And I pray on God’s mercy on our generation that has such a
prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to
try and redefine what marriage is all about,” Cathy said later on a
radio show according to the paper.
Emanuel is the second big-city mayor to go after Chick-fil-A. Mayor Thomas Menino said the chain “doesn’t belong in Boston.”
“Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of
our residents, our neighbors and our family members. And if you’re gonna
be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values,”
Emanuel said Wednesday according to the Sun-Times.
“What the CEO has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is
not what I believe, but more importantly, it’s not what the people of
Chicago believe. We just passed legislation as it relates to civil union
and my goal and my hope … is that we now move on recognizing gay
marriage. I do not believe that the CEO’s comments . . . reflects who
we are as a city.”

Clearly Simmering Frog is upset that Emanuel does not like people who share honest opinions... yet he creates an incredibly biased set of choices for us to pick from.
Dead Fish...sheesh. Laying it on a bit thick, aren't you? Clearly Monsignor Frog has an axe to grind and isn't interested in actual opinions -- so he is much like Emanuel!
Of course, I do recognize the difference: Emanuel is trying to use his opinion to force government policy -- a violation of the First Amendment. Ultimately he might back down quietly, in a while. Or he may do what a lot of cities do with businesses they dislike: use obscure zoning laws to block the business.
It works for adult bookstores and nearly worked to block a mosque in New York City, but I suspect it won't work as well to block Chik-Fil-A. So my guess is he will ultimately back down.
But NAZI? Nope. It is VERY AMERICAN to deny citizens and companies access to the rights guaranteed by the constitution. It happens every day. And it is not much like the methods of the Nazis.
I have no problem with Simmering Frog's dislike of Emanuel's position. I'm a liberal (well, a moderate) and I don't like his position. If I were from Chicago I'd tell him, vocally (oka...

But I don't like biased "polls" which are designed to create animosity and suppress dialogue.
They even QUOTED him, so they should know.
"We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens."
"The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Consequently we demand"
"Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery. "
"We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts)."
"We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries."
"We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare."
"The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program"
"For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general."
No, Obama did not say that (not in public anyway).
The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English in short form as the Nazi Party which held these positions.
Now we know who the Nazis were, . . . and who they are.
Too many slap the title of "Nazi" on politicians we don't like for any reason we can.
