The DNC had a choice: give Dolan a pulpit, or another nail in his self-made cross.

117. There is nothing that DU will not defend

in it's quest to keep the presidency.

Civil Rights leader John Lewis told this story at the Convention:

.."On that same day, we continued on to Rock Hill, South Carolina, about 25 miles. From here, when my seatmate, Albert Bigelow, and I tried to enter a white waiting room, we were met by an angry mob that beat us and left us lying in a pool of blood. Some police officers came up and asked us whether we wanted to press charges. We said, “No, we come in peace, love and nonviolence.” We said our struggle was not against individuals, but against unjust laws and customs. Our goal was true freedom for every American.

Since then, America has made a lot of progress. We are a different society than we were in 1961. And in 2008, we showed the world the true promise of America when we elected President Barack Obama. A few years ago, a man from Rock Hill, inspired by President Obama’s election, decided to come forward. He came to my office in Washington and said, “I am one of the people who beat you. I want to apologize. Will you forgive me?” I said, “I accept your apology.” He started crying. He gave me a hug. I hugged him back, and we both started crying. This man and I don’t want to go back; we want to move forward."

"Cardinal" Dolan was not a forward move. It wasn't a lateral move. It was a huge fucking step backwards. No one listened to him? HE CLOSED THE CONVENTION! His was the final note of the symphony. Next time maybe the Democrats can find someone with their fucking instrument in tune.
