Looks like some lefties are proudly embracing their hate after all.....sort of:
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has met with the families of the two officers shot to death in a squad car this weekend.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” the mayor said as he, his wife Chirlane McCray and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton visited with relatives of officer Rafael Ramos on the front porch of the family's Brooklyn home. They were inside the home for about thirty minutes, according to the New York Post.
De Blasio later met with the family of slain officer Wenjian Liu.
That would have been at least superficially credible if the self-proclaimed Sandanista mayor of Gotham had not spent the past four months ripping and insulting the NYPD as racist predators - and if he hadn't pulled this chowderheaded stunt yesterday:
Relations had been growing strained between de Blasio and the NYPD, after the New York mayor quietly left a Mass at St. Patrick's on Sunday and disappeared, never showing up to pay his respect to the families of the police officers shot and killed in an ambush on Saturday.
John Rodriguez, who serves as president of the 75th Precinct Community Council, called out de Blasio for his conduct and said he should do more. "Come out here and show this family some respect — that’s what [de Blasio] should do," the New York Post reported.
Neither de Blasio, his wife or Bratton spoke publicly after Monday's visit.
Say what you want about Sharpie and the NAACP - and I did this morning - but as pathetic as their attempts at self-serving diversion and sheer denial were, at least they had sufficient PR acumen to realize that they had to do something quickly. de Blasio's leftwing extremism is evidently so hopelessly blinkered that he didn't think anything of two NYPD officers being executed in their squad car by a black insurrectionist with jihadist sympathies - or silently approved of it - and had to be told that, as the mayor of the city and effective civilian commander-in-chief of the NYPD, it was incumbent upon him to exercise some apolitical leadership and comfort the bereaved families in his official capacity, even if he would inevitably turn it into a tacky, maudlin photo-op.
If there was a more awkward moment in the history of the human "species" than Comrade Bill mumbling "I'm sorry for your loss" when everybody in that city knew, and knows, that he doesn't mean a word of it, I'd be hard-pressed to speculate on an alternative.
NYPD officers are now turning their backs on this guy at public events and the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association has banned de Blasio from attending any funeral of an officer killed in the line of duty. Effectively meaning that NYC's government and NYC's law enforcement are now overtly at war with each other.
You could even say that Gotham doesn't have the leader it needs, but the leader it deserves.
The Sinister Minister, by contrast, is eschewing both the cluelessness of de Blasio and the buffoonery of Sharpie, and simply, matter-of-factly demanding that we all ignore the evidence of our lying eyes:
Blaming political figures, protesters or civil rights leaders for Saturday's execution-style killing of two New York City police officers is an "unfair" and "extreme" response to a horrific but isolated event, the "Rev'rund" Jesse Jackson told Newsmax TV on Monday.
The civil rights leader told "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner that the families of the slain NYPD officers "need all the condolences and mercy we can afford," and said their murders on Saturday in Brooklyn were "not a political assassination" but the act of a "cold-blooded" and "deranged" individual."
"We should not equate the actions of a sick man who did a sick thing with mass demonstrations for justice and for healing," said Jackson. "Don't make that equation."
No, don't make that equation. Because if we do, racist animals like Double-J and Sharpie and the rest of the Black Klan will be finished as even selectively reputable, and compensatable, public figures of any remaining tattered influence. And besides, what place does the truth have in Obama-era public debate, on race or any other issue.
Heaven knows we wouldn't want anything like that to happen.
Would we?
