DNC chair won't speak at Dem convention following Wikileaks fallout
CNN Politics ^ | July 23, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer, Eugene Scott and Jeff Zeleny

Posted on 07/23/2016 9:02:52 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails.

One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders' faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.

email APPEARS to show? It’s obvious what it shows. What they all show.

And if by not allowing Lisa Simpson to speak they think they’ll appease the Sanders supporters, they really are dumb.

Trump has spies in the Democrat party. He knew this was coming out and he’s been saying for a while Bernie knows how the system is rigged. And he’s asking Bernie supporters to vote for him. I believe many will.

A woman was mowing her back yard in a bikini and the neighbor yelled at her across the fence. She stopped the mower and walked over to him and he said “I’d give a thousand bucks just to kiss those boobs of yours.”

She was pissed and stormed into the house and told her husband. Her husband said “You know, honey. All he’s going to do is kiss them and it’s a thousand bucks. I say let him.”

So her and her husband went back outside to the fence and told the neighbor to come around to the gate and into their yard. Her husband said “She said you told her you’d give her a thousand bucks to kiss her boobs?”

“That’s right.”

“Well, go ahead.” So the woman took off her top and the man grabbed a boob in each hand and started rubbing his face all over them.”

The husband said “Go ahead. Kiss ‘em.”

The neighbor, as he continued to fondle the woman’s breast, said “I would. But I don’t have a thousand bucks.”

“what i understand it’s basically e-mails from 7 staff members but including DWS.”

Correct. The ones from Debbie end with DWS at the bottom of the message. It’s the top staff at the DNC including Debboe (DNC Chair) who wrote the emails.

HE CAN STOP GRANNY BENGHAZI IN HER TRACKS

Sanders should withdraw his endorsement of Clinton and then seek the Green Party nomination for President. If he has any integrity after the WikiLeaks DNC dump, he would both withdraw his endorsement and get the Green Party Nomination for President (Sanders is not technically a member of the Democrats, so he doesn't have to leave the party - he just caucuses with them.

If they haven't had their convention yet, he would likely get the nomination if he seeks it. The Green Party leadership has more or less told him that. I can see him being a third party "Ross Perot" in reverse and end up costing the Clintons the White House as opposed as helping get them there. Sanders could end up getting 15% or more of the popular vote easily if he were to run as a Green Party Candidate.

And it could get much worse: I have strong suspicions that Bernie Sanders may pull his endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Let the fireworks begin.

DWS wanted to play the “jewish card” against Bernie Sanders ?

re Party activists cleaning out DC cretins:

I predict both Paul Ryan and DWS will be primaried out.

Bernie Sander’s Faith is Jewish.

They attacked him clandestinely for being Jewish.

The very bigotry they falsely attack others over. Here they are actually orchestrating it.

These people are perverse.

Actually, it sounded like the DNC official was more interested in trying to "out" Bernie as an atheist. Although of Jewish extraction, he's never been known as following any religious practice. The DNC official said to get someone to put him on the spot about whether he believes in God:

On May 5, a DNC employee asked colleagues to "get someone to ask his belief" in God and suggested that it could make a difference in Kentucky and West Virginia. Sanders' name is not mentioned in the note.
"This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist," DNC chief financial officer Brad Marshall wrote.

Not so sure, Clintons have the dope on everyone. Those that do not fall into line wind up dead, accidents mind you.

Trump should buy out the film and then post it for free. Plus all theater showings are free. Would be a circus.
