Democrat delegates are NOT happy.

This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.
Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don't know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. That’s true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is it’s not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.
In a way it’s unfortunate for the party because speakers at the DNC have been talking about God from the stage and there have been plenty of faith-filled events down here in Charlotte. But party officials should have known this would get scrutinized. The issue is either political malpractice or something far worse.
Here is video of the adoption of the new language. Listen to the boos.

Here’s more info from Associated Press:
Democrats have changed their convention platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The move came after criticism from Republicans.
Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.
He called for a vote three times before ruling.
The party reinstated language from the 2008 platform that said "we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
The platform also now includes what advisers said was Obama's personal views on Jerusalem.
The DNC DID NOT vote to restore God. That would require 2/3 vote. It was 50/50 at best. The DNC chair lied. Video http://tinyurl.com/9mrpgj3
That guy wearing the Arab t-shirt was pretty mad.
Godless Commies gotta obfuscate.
The Godless Party HAS SPOKEN!
This just in...
Demokrats screw up a one car funeral.

What a Loser Convention!!
The far left media will pretend that video of the delegates BOOING never happened, too late media, its trending worldwide on twitter, everyone will see it now
It was so funny today seeing Bob Beckel say how this was the best DNC Convention EVER..then this happens..Thanks Bobby LOL
“The Whole World’s Watching...”
And so all the material is available for two very strong campiagn adverts with not a lot of effort in production.
I suppose he will deny it happened. I don’t watch that show and his is one BIG reason why.
The fact that the NO’s were so so loud is quite telling. Wake up America!!!!!
Pure gold for Romney.
It’s the will of Allah.
If this video is not run as is...the GOP are idiots.
This totally destroys any momentum from Michelle’s speech last night. Even Begala is on CNN saying “I can’t defend that”
Democrat delegates are NOT happy.
one can hold their breath longer than these two proclamations will last
