No, but I believe I know the time that democrats realized they needed to become a mafia organization using mafia tactics for monopolizing their absolute control.
It was during Rahm Emanuel's so-called -- 'Knife Fight'. It was here that I believe the DNC recognized they needed to become a mafia organization using mafia tactics for monopolizing their successes.
This definitive Rahm Emanuel story takes place in Little Rock, Ark., in the heady days after Bill Clinton was first elected President.
It was there that Emanuel, then Clinton's chief fund-raiser, repaired with George Stephanopoulos, Mandy Grunwald and other aides to Doe's, the campaign hangout. Revenge was heavy in the air as the group discussed the enemies - Democrats, Republicans, members of the press - who wronged them during the 1992 campaign. Clifford Jackson, the ex-friend of the President and peddler of the Clinton draft-dodging stories, was high on the list. So was William Donald Schaefer, then the Governor of Maryland and a Democrat who endorsed George Bush. Nathan Landow, the fund-raiser who backed the candidacy of Paul Tsongas, made it, too.
Suddenly Rahm Emanuel grabbed his steak knife and, as those who were there remember it, shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table.
''Dead!'' he screamed.
The group immediately joined in the cathartic release: ''Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead! Bill Schaefer! Dead!''
Ever since, the democrats have been a ruthless mafia organization that will bribe, blackmail, use misimprision, bear false witness, and imprison anyone getting in their way.
I recall Hillary Clinton was at this meeting and it was said she was especially intrigued and captivated by this.
