Delegates and members of the Democratic party booed after former Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) discussed God and moved to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles, had to ask for the Yea and Nay vote several times before declaring the motion passed.
C-SPAN cameras captured the dissatisfaction among members after the motion passed.

Just sent your link to Drudge hope this goes viral.
Shucks, I can’t save this or see it on my old android tablet. Someone save it before it gets scrubbed!
I’m sure MSNBC, CNN, etc. will cover that.
Sounds like a unanimous decision.
Took three attempts.
Each time, the no votes got louder and louder. Another embarrassment for the DNC.
Is this a last-minute attempt by the Dems to save face after it leaked that both God and Israel had originally been stricken from the platform?
Hilarious that it took so long to “deem” passed by a 2/3 majority. It sounded more like half and half to me.
“Took three attempts.”
No way was there a 2/3 vote for inclusion.
No way.
Maybe 50/50. Maybe.
This is very revealing and should be all over the news everywhere! Sad that it won’t! Pathetic!! Glad its on video for all to see!
This video HAS TO GO VIRAL..everyone needs to see what the Rat party is really all about. Hates God, hates Israel, what a shock that the “Arab American Democrat” woman hates Israel, surprise surprise
Drudge needs to have to siren goin on this! This is huge!!!
I’m pretty sure the Nays had it.
“Maybe 50/50. Maybe.”
Nope. the nays had it. Godless atheists are not likely in favor of that amendment and the place was lousy with them...they are the hardcore base and activists. You could smell em through the screen.
Hey, Mayor..this is what YOUR party has become..
The Israelis were probably watching better than American Jews. Just a guess.

Drudge now has it up.
Looks like the 2 wearing the “Arab American Democrat”
Tee shirts were none to happy. Ridiculous
You suppose there could be some venomous fist fighting going on by the time this circus is over?
“I’m pretty sure the Nays had it.”
Absolutely. They had it shoved down their throats like the GOPe got Romney into the nominee slot.
Cheapest RNC ad ever made!
I just checked - it’s up on Drudge.
They really did have to vote three times before pretending that 2/3 of delegates approved of recognizing God and recognizing Israel’s capital as Jerusalem. These people would have felt right at home in some of the worst anti-Semitic national socialist rallies in history. Today’s democrats revolt me, and they would disgust JFK, MLK, FDR, and any other patriotic democrat or republican in American history.
Cool good to know, it’s devastating.
I was in Israel in June for my sisters wedding. Obama has maybe 3 percent approval there(If any at all) and your absolutely right, Israelis are watching and seeing Obama for what he is. American Jews don’t seem to care. My brother was born in Israel, lived here since he was 2 years old, he knows how much Obama hates Israel, my brother claims to love Israel, yet he still votes Dem. Even after everything(The DNC not recognizing Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and the US telling Israel your on your own if you attack Iran’s nukes) last night he had his email box open on my computer so I could see when I was passing by an email from that Castro freak that spoke last night. I just dont get it, he’s smart he knows the truth but STILL continues to support those phonies
“You suppose there could be some venomous fist fighting going on by the time this circus is over?”
One can hope.
I just saw a CA ditsy speaker state that 0bamacare is perfect because President 0bama cares!
You have to be a wack job to support such people.
The Progressives (Marxists) are what they are. The have always wanted to replace God (The opiate of the masses) with the State and the Jews with ashes.Neither Stalin (nor Hitler) were devotees of the any faith although both were raised Christian as I recall.

No wonder Romney didn’t feel that it was necessary to campaign during the DNC Convention, this stuff is GOLD for the GOP. Romney doesn’t even have to say a word, just sit back, have some popcorn and watch the Rat party for what they are
Not 2/3rds.
Democrats in panic mode.
Yes. The OWS types will not take to kindly to this.
I live in MA in a town with a large Jewish population.
They will still vote for Obama,and I just don’t get it.
The NO’s won the third and last vote call.
Drudge has it up
Jerusalem now trending on Twitter.
and there it is, the real party of hate.
In my humble opinion, that “chair” needs to get his ears checked. The Nays had it.
Dems boo God and Isreal ping!
Because liberalism is their religion. There are many Jews who live in America who despise Israel just as much as the Arabs do, its sad but true
This was just mentioned on “The Five” right out of the gate. I also hope it goes viral, and I hope that Pastor enjoyed his cold shower.
Is the OWS people still out there?
Haven't seen too much action from them lately. : )
After that vote, so much for party unity.... : )
Thank you twitter..its VIRAL people..God and Jerusalem are trending worldwide on twitter. This might be bigger than the “You didn’t build that” statement by Obama..now you have video of the DNC BOOING GOD
And even then it has all the appearances of being railroaded through Villaragosa was at a loss for words, for a change, the first two tries.
