New York City Council officially honors communist executed for treason. Ethel Rosenberg and her husband gave the Soviet Union military sonar and radar data that allowed the Russians to shoot down American planes in Korea and Vietnam. To paraphrase Frank Sinatra, “New York, New York, what the F***?”

Didn't the article absolve Deblasio on this? City council miembers were behind it. Not that I don't think Deblasio okayed it, but looks like the stupidity runs deep in NYC.
Only a liberal idiot would celebrate treason on this scale, but then treason is en vogue in DC these days. Don't believe me? Just ask Mitch McConnell.
In the wake of the reference above to Molotov Cocktails, I just realized the significance of your avatar . . .
All courtesy of the democrat party:
- A commie president who gladly gives Iran nukes.
- An idiot for president who no one in the ME can trust
- A commie NYC mayor who worshipes and excuses treason
- Lawlessness and corruption in general under these idiots rule
Expect more worse to come, from your democrat party operatives.
Yeah, once she started wearing those Hsu's. Way back when, of course that was after the cool 100,000 cattle thing. And WhiteWater. The Rose, uhm 'Law Firm'? Getting fired from an impeachment proceeding for unethical behavior? How's that law license working out for you an Bubba these days?
I have to stop now (or I'll be throwing and yelling things at this inanimate screen)
Not to mention Mr. Foster, but we won't go there. Or the 'war' on women... nah, I'll stop now.
Didn't they also help Russia get nukes?
In his memoirs, Nikita Khrushchev said that he "cannot specifically say what kind of help the Rosenbergs provided us" but that he learned from Joseph Stalin and Vyacheslav M. Molotov that they "had provided very significant help in accelerating the production of our atomic bomb." Notice that he wrote "they." Apologists for Ethel claim it was only her husband who spied for the Soviet Union.
Molotov? As in molotov cocktail?
Exactly -- for whom it was named.
Sorry. That was me. Fat thumb.
Interesting, I didn't know the full story myself:
The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War.[1] The name is an insulting reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was responsible for the setting of "spheres of interest" in Eastern Europe under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939. The pact with the Nazis bearing Molotov's name was widely mocked by the Finns, as was much of the propaganda Molotov produced to accompany the pact, including his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbours. The Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts.[2] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".[3] Molotov himself despised the name, particularly as the term became ubiquitous.[4]
The Venona cables bear out she was fully involved.
That communist train has left the station and it's running full steam ahead with the republicans aboard just laughing thier assas off at us fools for voting for them.
Republicans you don't get to laugh anymore. Tea will take you out of office and kick you off that gravey train. Just ask John he knows what i'm talking about.
I vote Tea of I don't vote al all.
I'll wear my 'Che" shirt in honor of her memory.
WTFNY?
So glad that the City Council decided she was "wrongfully executed" for being a spy with her husband. What a bunch of idiots.
Yup, lets not honor anyone who does something good today, Lets go back and give an honor to a spy who was executed..A demotard hero. Nothing New York does would surprise me anymore, The Commie City Council and Mayor Wilhelm Klink are clueless....If I were the Statue of Liberty, I would have my hands covering my eyes about now...Maybe next they can sell it for scrap and put up a statue of dead spy Ethel Rosenberg.....
Yea, I was going to mention the commie mayor. I bet he had a lot to do with this.
I am surprised they also din't Honor Ted Bundy, Gary Gilmore, and a few other selected nut cases...
It's par for the course. I'm not even upset at this, because I just expect crap like this. Here is another example of this sort of BS, & it involves Black Lives Matter. They pay homage to this piece of trash...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assata_Shakur
Assata Olugbala Shakur (born JoAnne Deborah Byron on July 16, 1947), whose married name was Chesimard, is an African-American activist and member of the former Black Panther Party (BPP) and Black Liberation Army (BLA). Between 1971 and 1973, Shakur was accused of several crimes and was the subject of a multistate manhunt.
In May 1973, Shakur was involved in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike, in which she was accused of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster and grievously assaulting Trooper James Harper.BLA member Zayd Malik Shakur was also killed in the incident, and Shakur was wounded. Between 1973 and 1977, Shakur was indicted in relation to six other incidents—charged with murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, bank robbery, and kidnapping—resulting in three acquittals and three dismissals. In 1977, she was convicted of the first-degree murder of Foerster and of seven other felonies related to the shootout.
Shakur was incarcerated in several prisons in the 1970s. She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba in 1984 after living as a fugitive for a few years, and received political asylum. She has been living in Cuba ever since. Since May 2, 2005, the FBI has classified her as a domestic terrorist and offered a $1 million reward for assistance in her capture. On May 2, 2013, the FBI added her to the Most Wanted Terrorist List; the first woman to be listed. On the same day, the New Jersey Attorney General offered to match the FBI reward, increasing the total reward for her capture to $2 million.
...like I said, par for the course.
