maybe something good will come from the Debbie Wasserman-Schultz debacle

[Behind the Aegis]

2. I wouldn't hold my breath.

The anti-Semitism I witnessed against Sanders was disgusting, and I am not talking about the shit hurled from the crack-addled monkeys of the right, I am talking about those from the left! I saw attacks against DWS which were anti-Semitic, and people feel it is "justified" when the target is on the right or did something they don't like. It harkens back to the racist/bigoted mantra "There are X's (a slur for the target minority group), and then there are Y's (name of the minority, i.e. "the good ones&quot . This is the way many justify there bigotry, no matter if it is racism, homophobia, sexism, and IMO, especially, anti-Semitism. It also demonstrates another serious issue and that is bigotry against atheists. I believe there are still four states which do not allow atheists to serve in public office; now, whether it is enforced or not is another matter, but the fact some still point to that (atheism) as a disqualifier is extremely problematic.

The only good thing, I guess, is that this disgraceful action by the DNC brings to light some areas which warrant serious discussions and steering away from the lowest common denominator type behavior. In a nation which is supposed to pride itself on "separation of Church and State", the religion, or lack thereof, of a candidate should be nothing of interest to anyone.
