A Democratic National Committee meeting erupted into a bitter battle Thursday morning over the question of holding a climate-specific presidential debate, with party officials stamping down a resolution calling for a such an event in the face of raucous opposition from activists.
In a 17-to-8 vote, the DNC’s Resolutions Committee defeated a resolution that called for the candidates to debate each other about their views and policies on climate change — on a national stage.
Young protesters filling the room hissed, jeered and sang the union song “Which Side Are You On?” before and after the vote.
The two-hour-plus debate laid bare tensions in the party between climate activists and party leaders, and a generational divide between the mostly young protesters and the DNC officials.
“We’re asking you to fight for our futures!” one woman standing on a chair shouted at committee members, to waves of applause.
Kristy Mualim, a 23-year-old from Palo Alto who brought her skateboard with her into the meeting, said Thursday’s vote is “definitely not the end” of the fight for a climate debate.

These protesters show up all over the nation whenever these pet socialist causes are to be considered. They obviously are well organized and financed, but by whom?? Whoever is behind this movement needs to be exposed and publicized.
Young radicals are staging a coup in that party.
The Bidn/Peolsi old guard is about to be shown the door.
Sort of like the other day when san fran nan was having some sort of award thing in s**thole sf and some protestors barraged in demanding she board the impeachment train. Eating their own whole we munch on more popcorn.
He said that ever since the Left lost a 3 on 1 debate in 2005, their policy has been, NEVER TO DEBATE THE SUBJECT!!!!
They can't win on facts so they try to shout down deniers based on emotion.
And yet, supposedly the contestants for the grand finale are still barnie, nuzzlin’ joe and pricess running beaver. Good thing they overcame the old rich white guy scenario huh?
Like nuzzlin’ joe called it. They’ve chosen truth over facts. And they decide what they want to be the truth. Dangerous fools.
This is what we are up against folks.
Are they engaged yet?
It’s like calling for a debate on LGBT. It’s a landmine. It’s just a chance to say the wrong thing that will trigger the crazies.
Tooo funny! This is the price the dems pay for all their interference into K-12 and higher education. The chickens have come home to roost!
But what they must hold--and I hope they will--is a THE-USA-IS-AN-EVIL-RACIST-NAZI-NATION-THAT-MUST-BE-DESTROYED! presidential debate.
Al Gore has dodged debates for years. Rush Limbaugh may have been his last opponent.
Democrats are consumed by too many faux issues designed to make their constituents emotional victims of this or that, with government being the rescuer.
Divisive bull$hittery gets messy and out of control.
I would just love to watch the scientifically illiterate leftists try to debate climate change.
They should invite Obama to call in and discuss why he bought his ocean-front mansion:

Obviously the Kenyanesian Usurper does not believe the hype or he wouldn’t have bought beachfront property.
The old guard knows better that this would be a losing proposition. But they won’t be around much longer. The Squad will take the party ever more leftward in its attempt to destroy America as it is today.
I was thinking that last night.
I’m all for this, as well as DNC debates on gun control. Let people see what a bunch of lunatics these are.
