Rahm Emanuel's Turkey Will Fuck Your Shit Up
Few dudes other than Rahm Emanuel can so effortlessly turn an innocuous holiday tradition into a chilling reminder that he's got nine more fingers he'd be more than willing to lose while jamming your still-beating heart down a garbage disposal.
I hear his dreidels have spikes on them.

This is so freaking funny, thanks for posting it.
I think I just gave birth to some spiked dreidels. Happy Thanksgiving. I N D I G E S T I O N.
Um…is this anti-semitic? I emailed it to my jewish friend, and he got pissed. I thought it was more about Emanuel being a badass and less about insulting him.
Shit, finding this funny makes me anti-Semitic?
We all know that sketches of a hand, with a severed middle finger, in the shape of a turkey, is code for Antisemitism.
Boray pre ha blogstein. Amen.
its only anti semitic if you actually know about all that stuff. if you dont understand it then it means nothing, other than whether you like it or not. for example, using rude words in different contexts and for different reasons actually negates their original meaning and transforms it into something else altogether: the interpretation that is recieved, and the message that is intended. as such, the turkey means different things for each of us, and for me, it means that we need to recognise the freedom of speech and the freedom of interpretation! tell me im a dumb englishman and, i'd actually be respectful of what you say. call me a dumb american and i would be offended, because i'm not american. call me a dumb turkey though, and i'd be grateful for making me sound exotic, but confused all the same………..
ok, I'll bite–you're a dumb turkey, and I mean that in the most exotic and complimentary way possible…
Actually, the context in which I found the picture funny was remembering drawing hand turkeys throughout childhood. I have five brothers, and I completely would understand that R.E. as a kid could have drawn something like this–anti-Semitism didn't even remotely enter my mind. And to defend my blatant ignorance, I still find it funny.

This just may be the way Rahm says thank you…has anyone considered that? The press is always jumping to conclusions.
