maybe something good will come from the Debbie Wasserman-Schultz debacle [View all]
The hacked emails allegedly show that some in the DNC were considering using Bernie's Jewishness against him. Some seemed convinced Bernie was actually an atheist, and they were considering how to exploit that if they thought they needed to.
One of the good things I see coming out of this debacle so far is people are reacting with outrage at the mere suggestion of using someone's religion or lack or religion against him. Well, I should say, most Democrats are outraged.
I'm pretty sure the Republicans have no compunction about using a candidate's religion or lack thereof to attack them.
