Ok, who are these people?

[Nebula]

I am seriously freaking out after doing some reading today.

I come across this:

Rahm Israel Emanuel[1] (born November 29, 1959) is an American politician currently serving as White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama.

Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois to jewish parents.

His father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, a Jerusalem-born pediatrician, was a member of the Zionist terror organization Irgun.

And then this:

Emanuel was named to the Board of Directors for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac")

During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities.

And then:

Emanuel advocated a three-month compulsory universal service program for Americans between the ages of 18 and 25.[45] An expanded version of this idea was later proposed by U. S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama (who was later to choose Emanuel as his White House Chief of Staff)

This is our White House chief of staff?

Wow. Let the true colors begin to show.

I knew he was a corrupt dude, but never read his biography. Then when I got to the Freddie mac thing, I said to myself oh boy.

Well, I actually thought there was another member of Obama's campaign that was part of F&M too. I forget who.

OMG it gets even better:

"Emanuel is said to have "mailed a rotten fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways."

And:

Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name."

Don't leave out Senior Advisor to President Clinton.

Welp, as I've been often reminded your source is Wikipedia which should already set the seed of doubt about accuracy. :)

These two things are sourced. Would have to attack Rolling Stone and Jewish Community Online.

Also:

Those who look at Rahm's soft smile and learn that he was a ballerina as a child (who even won a scholarship to Joffrey Ballet) would be surprised to learn of the darker nature of this man. Indeed, if you listen to him, he's the best thing since buttered bread, calling himself a "strong, effective voice for Chicago in Congress." His congressional website notes, "As Chair, Emanuel led the Democratic Caucus in fulfilling its campaign promise to pass legislation reflecting the values and priorities of the American people."[2]

You might wonder, then, how did he get this nickname of "Rahm-bo"? The night after Clinton was elected to office, following the sexual scandals concerning Clinton and his many lovers, Rahm apparently was standing at a table during a celebration and a "little" upset. He called off the names of Clinton's "enemies"—those people Rahm believed had been involved. After each name, Rahm would take the steak knife in his hand, pounding the blade into the table, and then screaming, "Dead! Dead! Dead!" An interviewee for the magazine Rolling Stone stated, "When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape. It was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."[3] CNN Headline news also mentioned that he uses expletives like no other.

Also, according to the same article in Rolling Stone, Rahm once sent a fish to a Democratic pollster as a "gift."[4] While some may think that such a gift would be nice of him, you also have to realize that the fish was a rotting, dead fish. There is a saying among Sicilians that is often accompanied with the gift of a dead fish: "You'll be sleeping with fish tonight," meaning that the person will be tossed in the river with concrete galoshes.
