Reply #18: Correction: I have not said Rahm's choices are wrong! DLC linked, yes! [View All]

There is quite a difference.

My position on the candidates, which is evidenced in this forum in numerous threads, has not been to state that the choices that Rahm Emanuel is making are wrong.

Instead, I have pointed out the circumstances surrounding his decisions as DCCC Chair and raised red flags because of the appearance of a lack of transparency for the Democratic Primaries due to Rahm Emanuel's membership to the DLC.

Also, I have raised red flags about the DLC's protection from disclosure on its political activities and financing that result from the benefit of it having IRS 501(C)(4) tax-exempt status, as a result of this appearance of a lack of transparency in the Democratic Primaries.

Additionally, I raised flags because the DLC IS NOT allowed to conduct substantial activities in support of federal candidates for elected office, as a result of it having IRS 501(C)(4) tax-exempt status.

As far as my "evidence," I didn't offer evidence.

I only stated the readily observable truth about Rahm Emanuel, the DCCC, the DLC, and the candidates.

Evidence can only be obtained by power of subpoena served upon the DLC or by IRS revocation of the DLC's 501(C)(4) tax-exempt status, because the DLC is under no obligation to disclose its specific activities and contributors in public filings.

I merely detailed how and why that might occur, and acknowledged a real effort on the part of the Republican Party to achieve that end.

Is Rahm Emanuel the first DLC member to become chair of the DCCC?

If not, then kindly advise me of who the previous DLC member - DCCC Chair was, and blow my argument out of the water.

If so, then kindly recognize that my argument reflects the new relationship.
