All I know is he changed it as an adult.

[yoe]

Look at what de Blasio voted for and still stands for...New York is a Socialist State:
On the City Council, de Blasio passed legislation to prevent landlord discrimination against tenants who hold federal housing subsidy vouchers and helped pass the HIV/AIDS Housing Services Law, improving housing services for low income New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS.[26][27] As head of the City Council's General Welfare Committee, de Blasio helped pass the Gender-Based Discrimination Protection Law to protect transgender New Yorkers and passed the Domestic Partnership Recognition Law to ensure that same sex couples in a legal partnership could enjoy the same legal benefits as heterosexual couples in New York City.[28] During his tenure, the General Welfare Committee also passed the Benefits Translation for Immigrants Law, which helped non-English speakers access free language assistance services when accessing government programs.

The NYPD Blue will perhaps become Der Haupt NYPD Brownshirts under de Blasio.

They were just totin’ your water for ya, Commie Bill.

Need that clip of the Rev. Al leading his congregation down the street and demanding dead cops now.

If you read and watched the Breitbart article, Wilhelm brags about a 25K march that was peaceful, and protected by the the NYPD, chastising the under-reporting of the event.

Breitbart points out that de Blasio had effectively spoken out the other side of his mouth trying to tamp down his fellow travelers' WINE (Al Capp...), less-than-peaceful protests until after the funerals.

[plain talk]

Leftists blame others for their own shortcomings REFLEXIVELY. They really can’t control it. It’s psychological projection... a key element of Leftist thinking.

interesting observation. I always thought it was training. But you may be right. It may be far deeply entrenched than thought. A true mental disorder

[Calvin Locke]

Mrs. de Blasio’s bestie is a Sharpton acolyte.

[mulligan]

Head deep in the sand. Just another idiot.

[NEMDF]

That is absolutely true. And never, even down the line, does it cross their minds that they might have faults or have contributed to “something bad” that has happened.

[yoe]

"...and many many newcomers with no stake in the country other than what it can give them; lot of people have their greasy piggies in the public trough....Excellent point!! Too much diversity and little assimilation, certainly not by this POTUS.

[Ohioan]

While he is probably a relatively low IQ type, for one in his position. he is probably still competent--just not enough to have any original thoughts. His whole approach is formula driven--a formula as old as Genesis: (See Variations On Demonic Theme.)

If there are still a few Conservatives in New York City, the threat to public safety that De Blasio represents, could be used as a wakeup call to help them free some of their neighbors from the stultifying mass indoctrination, that the Academic/Media complex has achieved since FDR made it "respectable" to consider the babbling of Marxists as serious thought!

There should be a conservative boycott of NYC until DiCommie-o is gone.

Let them know that elections have consequences.

[mom.mom]

The media? They are deliberately inciting chaos. Isn’t that the point? Come on Bill, it’s for the cause. Get with the program.

[miss marmelstein]

DeBlasio is famous for being lazy, continually late for meetings and not filling major positions in the government. His staff plays computer games. He sleeps, according to Mark Simone, to 10 o’clock every day. He has the stupidest horse face I’ve seen since John Kerry. Six weeks into his administration, he goofed up on a blizzard. Most mayors do that six years into their run. He’s a disaster. At least David Dinkins was a nice guy.

[Sans-Culotte]

It is always amusing to see the left eat their own.

[Lazamataz]

There should be a conservative boycott of NYC until DiCommie-o is gone.

Sorry, but there is a conservative boycott of NYC EVEN IF DiCommie-o is gone.

[dhs12345]

Was that Al Sharpton’s congregation? Now that would be news if true!

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, I think he changed his uber-German name so he wouldn’t alienate the Jewish population. Apparently, he’s half Italian-American but he’s a disgrace to that nice community.

[Kackikat]

lol

[henkster]

I love it when communists have their Ceausescu moment. For Blasio, my thought is "well, that didn't take long."

[leapfrog0202]

Here’s what Wiki has to say:

DeBlasio speaking: “He (DeBlasio’s father, Warren Wilhelm) was an alcoholic, and my mother and father broke up very early on in the time I came along, and I was brought up by my mother’s family—that’s the bottom line—the de Blasio family.”

In 1983, he changed his name to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm, which he described in April 2012: “I started by putting the name into my diploma, and then I hyphenated it legally when I finished NYU, and then, more and more, I realized that was the right identity.” By the time he appeared on the public stage in 1990, he was using the name Bill de Blasio as he explained he had been called “Bill” or “Billy” in his personal life. He did not legally change over to this new name until 2002, when the discrepancy was noted during an election.

Article also says he speaks Italian. Not sure if the change was really out of wanting to honor the DeBlasio side of his heritage or to further identify with NYC’s large Italian population....
