This makes no sense. nt. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #1

Thank you. nt DURHAM D Feb 2017 #4

Oh good-I didn't want to say anything but I was very confused ismnotwasm Feb 2017 #28

It is a silly straw man argument Gothmog Feb 2017 #62

Taking that line of "logic", if we reject Perez then obviously we are.... George II Feb 2017 #68

We as a party. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #6

Say it with me... not everything is about Bernie. Agschmid Feb 2017 #15

Hallelujah! Laurian Feb 2017 #26

or at least be honest, say that you support him because Bernie La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2017 #39

Correct. Agschmid Feb 2017 #52

You, like Ellison, kick ass. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #56

Thank you, I'm around just a whole lot less. Good to see you too! Agschmid Feb 2017 #57

That's the last thing he would admit. Always rehashing the primary. It's ugly. bettyellen Feb 2017 #59

Dear lord, ain't THAT the truth? NurseJackie Feb 2017 #89

I've never rehashed the primary. Never once. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #106

I don't support him because Bernie. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #102

Thank you! Good to know I'm not the only one who's fed up with this bullshit! NurseJackie Feb 2017 #88

That's actually my point. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #100

It is. I like Bernie, I've voted for him. Agschmid Feb 2017 #110

Well, I have a vote. And this OP? Shit, Keith would facepalm for you. nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #24

ADL has 'serious concerns' whether Ellison can lead DNC Gothmog Feb 2017 #63

Which isn't Islamophobia BainsBane Feb 2017 #70

Not me. Keith is the most progressive and pro-party renewal candidate. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #113

Wow. This is as bad as the "voting with vaginas" Bullshit....please delete this. bettyellen Feb 2017 #5

I know... it is, isn't it? #Sad #Offensive NurseJackie Feb 2017 #73

I hated that thread and tried to get it hidden. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #107

"If we (Dems) do this to Muslims this time" is WAY out of line.... bettyellen Feb 2017 #7

I mean it's like the search function doesn't even exist. nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #22

Heh joshcryer Feb 2017 #14

Jesus.....leave this to the professionals, yes? nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #20

I definitely shouldn't have been on the jury. joshcryer Feb 2017 #25

No....I hope this shit stays. That way I get to repost it. nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #27

Sometimes the transparency itself is where it's at. +1. nt. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #29

POSOUCS lives on, yes? I'm loving the 'splaining that goes on here. nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #32

Same people supporting that when it was said about Obama..... NCTraveler Feb 2017 #54

The fact that Sarandon just endorsed Ellison should disqualify him as DNC chair Gothmog Feb 2017 #80

He is not responsible for her. However, the OP is responsible for his prior posts. nt msanthrope Feb 2017 #83

sounds coercive cadmium Feb 2017 #13

And anti-Muslim and anti-just-about-anything-else that Ellison is "for"! Worse than merely coercive. George II Feb 2017 #36

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've read on DU... Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2017 #16

but were you there for the olive garden controversy? La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2017 #17

I was (albeit, as a lurker). nt Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2017 #19

Indeed. Thank you for expressing that. George II Feb 2017 #38

OFFS!!! Wounded Bear Feb 2017 #18

I find this to be interesting. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #30

I like that it is reflexive. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #41

wat. Kimchijeon Feb 2017 #21

To which "we" do you refer? MineralMan Feb 2017 #23

Taking your viewpoint, it appears that one of the redeeming factors in Ellison's candidacy is that.. George II Feb 2017 #33

I don't reject him because he is Muslim, but I won't accept him purely based upon his Blue_true Feb 2017 #34

Exactly. It isn't a case of voting for Perez (or whomever) because of what Ellison might be, but... George II Feb 2017 #64

Wait... what? Adrahil Feb 2017 #37

I have met and like Keith Ellison but I do not support his bid for DNC chair Gothmog Feb 2017 #40

I have lived in Islamic countries, I meet people at Mosques and I have Muslim grantcart Feb 2017 #42

Being a surrogate for Bernie is sufficient reason to reject Ellison Gothmog Feb 2017 #48

Be honest. You took a drink every time Trump said Hillary or fake. nt. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #43

Ellison being under the control of Sanders is sufficient reason to reject ellison Gothmog Feb 2017 #44

By Endorsing Him Last Night Me. Feb 2017 #76

I agree-Sarandon may have killed Ellison's chances Gothmog Feb 2017 #79

That's Exactly What I Thought For The 2 Seconds I Watched Me. Feb 2017 #81

Give me a fucking break. tammywammy Feb 2017 #45

This is a classic straw man argument that is really very silly Gothmog Feb 2017 #49

I feel moved to share my favorite 'islamophobia' quote starshine00 Feb 2017 #46

Good job, thanks. George II Feb 2017 #94

Only if they reselect DWS bigbrother05 Feb 2017 #47

If you accept Keith Ellison as DNC chair ONLY due to his religion, then synergie Feb 2017 #50

Comical. We nominated a man called Barrack Obama a black Christian Chevy Feb 2017 #51

We need a populist like Keith to grow our Party and allow Democrats to take back much of the lost Dustlawyer Feb 2017 #53

i love that Tom Perez who was a great labor secretary, is uber progressive La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2017 #61

Like I said yesterday... JHan Feb 2017 #67

How is Perez establishment while ellison is not ? JI7 Feb 2017 #111

Both Keith and Tom have high opinions of each other.. so ... JHan Feb 2017 #65

Perfect Pairing for the Democratic Party HockeyMom Feb 2017 #58

This is so silly. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #71

I just don't think Ellison would be as good as Perez. hollowdweller Feb 2017 #72

I agree it should be Ellison, but your reasons have nothing to do with it. Goblinmonger Feb 2017 #74

Bullshit. Do us a favor and delete this post. Nt. Blue Idaho Feb 2017 #75

Not a chance. It'll never happen. (For obvious reasons.) NurseJackie Feb 2017 #87

Worth a shot... nt. Blue Idaho Feb 2017 #91

Not for me, and I resent the implication. I prefer Tom Perez for his qualities blm Feb 2017 #77

FFS I don't care who gets it at this point Blue_Tires Feb 2017 #85

I support Ellison but I don't think most people oppose him because he is Muslim. PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #86

Perez has Obama people supporting him which is huge JI7 Feb 2017 #93

ie. people in the administration who Perez worked with. PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #98

OFFS, or it could mean he was not the better candidate nt Hamlette Feb 2017 #90

certain supporters of Ellison are hurting him with people who like Obama and Hillary JI7 Feb 2017 #92

It has nothing to do with personalities anymore. Ken Burch Feb 2017 #101

I hope this is as stupid as it gets on DU NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #96

One would hope ... it would be hard to find something worse. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #97

That's ridiculous. Cha Feb 2017 #104

Embarrassing, actually. (Or ought to be.) NurseJackie Feb 2017 #114

If we reject Tom Perez as DNC chair...whatever other reasons anyone claims for doing so... FSogol Feb 2017 #108
