Wouldn't "Don't Kill Anyone" Be Better Than "Stay Away From Kids"?

Rush was having fun with Rahm Emmanuel today. The mayor of Chicago yesterday asked gang bangers to continue to do their violence - just don't do it around kids.

You have to admit it was pretty stupid.

Why not plea to mothers to not have babies unless they're married, and to teach their kids not to join gangs?

RUSH: Late yesterday in Chicago on our blowtorch affiliate The Big 89, WLS, reporter Bill Cameron caught up with the mayor, asked him to clarify his comments about gangbangers and kids.

EMANUEL: Not. Near. Kids. That's what I mean, Bill. I don't think they should do anything. But the values are: Our kids are our most important resource. Stay away from them. You don't belong near them, and take everything that's associated with being a gang away from them, from the violence to the values that are associated with gangs. Stay away from our children. They're too important. Okay?

RUSH: What was that? That was the clarification. That was the clarification. Yesterday Rahm warned the gangbangers to stay away from the kids. We had that bite yesterday, stay away from the kids. So yesterday our man at the Big 89, WLS, Chicago, caught up with Emanuel for a clarification. I gotta hear this again. You can barely hear him. But once again, he's doubling down on the gangbangers to stay away from the kids. They're too important. Just remember the values associated with gangs and stay away from the kids. (laughing) He's speaking so softly, trying to carry a big stick, speaking so softly, trying to intimidate these gangbangers.
