Might be a good idea considering.

The "dump" that Wikileaks released Friday morning consists of 19,000+ emails -- spanning January 2015 - May 25 2016 -- from the accounts of DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda, National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan, Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer, Finance Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish, Finance Director Allen Zachary, Senior Advisor Andrew Wright, and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails). I didn't see for myself anything from Ms. Wasserman Schultz in the half-hour I spent rummaging through the Wikileaks database via its Search function. Regardless, I'm not sorry to see her go, as I thought she was less than impressive in the role.redwood66|1469391415|4058870 said:Might be a good idea considering.

Unfortunately I think these leaked e-mails speaks more to the bigotry of the US as a whole than to the bigotry of the Democratic Party. They knew that accusing him of being an atheist would ruin his political career. Why is that? Because Americans are so prejudiced against anyone who is not a Christian (preferably Protestant) that they would never vote one in to office.
One thing I've learned from this election is that while Americans talk a big game with regards to tolerance and acceptance and all that "give me your tired, your poor. Your huddles masses yearning to breathe free" stuff we don't actually mean it. It should read "give me your whites, your Evangelicals yearning to suppress everyone else." Winston Churchill said "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing — after they've tried everything else." But I'm not sure he was right. I don't think we can count on Americans to do the right thing at all. It's all very depressing.
So are the PSer liberals... Had this happened in the GOP we would be on page 3 by now...Laila619|1469415214|4058978 said:Good! Funny how the liberal media is being pretty mum about the whole thing. You'll hear much more about Melania's speech than about any of the contents of the leaked e-mails.

This goes to the character and ethics of the committee and reflects quite poorly on the party as a whole, IMO. The responsible parties should be removed immediately while the other facets (Russian hack theory, Trump involvement, etc.) are looked into.

and that is just a start. What would you want them to be saying?
Tekate: you want me to stand up for someone just because they have the same plumbing as me? That's as bad as attacking someone just for having different plumbing. Two wrongs do not make a right.Tekate|1469477367|4059183 said:JoCoJenn|1469456520|4059071 said:I'm less worried (at this point anyway) about WHO was responsible for the leak than I am the fact that the emails and their contents exist and the people who did/said those things.

I would LOVE to read the RNC emails... it's unfair, unkind, and interfering in American politics and I would bet it will backfire at the polls in November. Time will tell.
What bothers me is so many women don't stand up for Hillary Clinton.. people seem to forget what it was like for women in the 70s.. I for one was sexually harrassed on a daily basis, oogled, awed, at work.. it was horrible.. at Fox that seems to not have ended but the business world is much better for young women today and many more doors are open.. although my exhusband always said and I think it true, a woman's worst enemy is another woman.

That Russian involvement should be scrutinized to the fullest extent and people should be connecting the dots as to why Russia would want TRUMP TO WIN THIS ELECTION.
Conservatives, stop gloating. No one should be so naive to think that these elections aren't completely rigged. The Bush/Gore election stripped me of any idea that democracy actually existed in this country.
No I don't approve other government reading HC's top secret Emails...Tekate|1469477542|4059184 said:Dancing Fire|1469473001|4059152 said:So are the PSer liberals...

So you approve of another government interfering in the DNC? and the American process? I hope not. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed people's personal emails were posted whether it was democrats or republicans, if this were the republicans they would be lying and saying it didn't happen. Republicans would be suing everyone there would be a committee, a sub committee, a gun revival, a few old presidents brought up, America the beautiful and etc.
