De Blasio doth protest too much — and blows his cover (Blames media)
NY Post ^ | December 22, 2014 | Michael Goodwin

EXCERPT

The real problem, as de Blasio sees it, is the media. I kid you not — he actually shot the messenger.

He accused the reporters assembled in front of him of stoking outrage by focusing on “the few” protesters doing “immoral” things.

“They are wrong,” he said, his voice rising.

“But are you going to keep dividing us? What you manage to do is pull up the few who do not represent the majority.”

He called it “unfair,” and insisted most protesters were peaceful but “you guys enable” the troublemakers.

So who was it that leaked that he told his son to behave a certain way or the Cops might shoot him because he’s black??

Hearing Comrade DeBlasio try to blame the media was hilarious.

“What are you guys going to do? Are you going to keep dividing us?”, de Blasio fumed, seeing a clear infringement on his professional responsibilities.

Of course, if he wasn’t be paid to do it, de Blasio would take it up as a hobby

Typical shopworn liberal tactic. When losing an argument or the flow is going against the narrative inevitably the “Let’s tone down the rhetoric” stunt is deployed. Just remember De Blasio is part of the lowlife Left that routinely refers to cops as pigs. Suddenly he does not want to be reminded. Just wonder when his handlers will allow him to be seen with his best buddy Sharpton.

This would really be funny to see the left turn on itself if it were not life threatening and that two lives were cut down.

There are not enough buses in New York for all of the folks that he’s tossing them under.

It’s past time for apologies to Tea Partiers. The Media, aided and abetted by liberals, always directed their coverage at the most strident fringe. Now it’s coming back at them, and they’re scurrying about like cockroaches.

Right. He used the national media to spread his message.

http://gawker.com/mayor-deblasio-had-to-warn-his-son-about-his-police-for-1666419881

De Blasio said at a press conference (12/07/2014):

This is profoundly personal to me. I was at the White House the other day, and the president of the United States turned to me, and he met Dante a few months ago, and he said that Dante reminded him of what he looked like as a teenager. And he said I know you see this crisis through a very personal lens. And I said to him, I did.

Because Chirlane and I have had to talk to Dante for years about the dangers that he may face. A good young man, law-abiding young man who would never think to do anything wrong. And yet, because of a history that still hangs over us, the dangers he may face, we’ve had to literally train him—as families have all over this city for decades—in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him.

And that painful sense of contradiction that our young people see first, that our police are here to protect us, and we honor that, and at the same time, there’s a history we have to overcome, because for so many of our young people, there’s a fear. And for so many of our families, there’s a fear.

So I’ve had to worry over the years. Chirlane’s had to worry. Is Dante safe each night? There are so many families in this city who feel that each and every night. Is my child safe? And not just from some of the painful realities—crime and violence in some of our neighborhoods—but is safe from the very people they want to have faith in as their protectors.

That’s the reality.

Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. The Blue Bird Of Happiness says, “I hate Bill de Blasio. That son-of-a-bitch needs to go back to Nicaragua.”

“But are you going to keep dividing us? What you manage to do is pull up the few who do not represent the majority.

The commie gave the game away! It is the Alinsky tactic of making a tiny minority look like an uprising. The left has been doing it for decades.

He’s a White-hating America-hating black separatist marxist who wants to be president. He is a piece of $h!t.

So when he gets kicked out of office, will he pull a Nixon and tell the press, “You won’t have De Blasio to kick around anymore”?
