1. I doubt it.

Who is Donna Brazile? How could one person wield that much power?

[DJ13]

2. That article tries very hard to ignore it was Hillary supporter Harold Ickes pushing.....

.... behind the scenes that resulted on the ultimate decision to sanction Florida and Michigan.

That was when they thought she would have a stranglehold on the nomination by Feb. 6th, so the Clinton campaign either wasnt concerned about "disenfranchising" those voters, or they thought leaving those two states out would cripple anyone trying to come from behind.

[Zueda]

3. I still believe the Clintons were behind FL and MI trying to move their contests up.

They knew all along that all she had was name recognition and a shortened primary season would have been very very benificial to her.

If it's true that Brazile was involved in stripping the delegates then that would perfectly fit my personal fantasy that Obama is part of an Al Gore's revenge plot which is attempting to wrest control of power from the Clinton/Bush cabal.

20. Ahhh. I was expecting you...

I know what you're trying to do here...It ain't going to work.

4. FL and MI were behind the stripping of the FL/MI delegations

I don't see why so many on this board have such trouble with simple cause-and-effect.

22. It's unsatisfying to blame a state; it's juicier to blame a person, so people do it.

5. Talk Left and My DD have sold their integrity to support Clinton

beyond all rationality.

That makes me sad.

Florida went before the Rules committee and lied about their role. The committee had evidence that they had not acted in good faith.

The meeting of the DNC rules committee August 2007, and what they knew about Florida

Florida only had to vote no and stand up to the GOP. They only had to act in good faith.

[madfloridian]

6. Florida did not tell the truth before the rules committee

And Bartcop defends all things Clinton.

I think people can lose their integrity by supporting one candidate without questioning.

9. The new people for Hillary folks to hate...Dean and Donna B.

Florida went before the committee and did not tell the truth.

Blaming others is childish.

Donna Brazile is a fine person who is hated at DU for some reason.

[rodeodance]

16. STOP broadbrushin us and ASSuming "we" HATE--Disqusting of you.

[madfloridian]

17. Blaming Donna for what FL purposely did is disgusting.

It is sickening.

[rodeodance]

21. you still the broadbrishing

[anigbrowl]

8. Yeah, that's the new meme over at Hillaryis44 anyway.

Harold Ickes voted for it but apparently his loyalty for sale to the highest bidder.

[madfloridian]

10. That's the source? hillaryis44? They are also calling for Dean's head.

They hate Donna also?

That is a terrible site, and many DUers are active there.

[madfloridian]

11. Talk Left picks up stuff from hillaryis44....

and I think I saw something at MyDD from there.

[joshcryer]

12. Probably. We don't really know because there are no transcripts from that.

I haven't been able to find any transcripts at all or any information about their decision and who voted what.

[madfloridian]

13. Josh, I just posted about it. Many times and in this thread.

I keep telling you that you keep telling me I am wrong without even reading what I write.

[joshcryer]

18. I've read all of those links but none of them have transcripts of the hearing.

:shrug:

[madfloridian]

15. Oh, but before you say it , I will. I am not telling the truth.

So there. beat you to it.
