There has been powerful push from the hard-left of the Democratic Party, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), to elect Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) chairman. If he is elected, I will quit the party after 60 years of loyal association and voting. I will become an independent, continuing to vote for the best candidates, most of whom, I assume, will still be Democrats. But I will not contribute to the DNC or support it as an institution.
My loyalty to my country and my principles and my heritage exceeds any loyalty to my party. I will urge other like-minded people — centrist liberals — to follow my lead and quit the Democratic Party if Ellison is elected chairman.

Yep. The Dems live to fight another day.
Let’s see the reaction from the loonies. I’m predicting muted.
Ellison does not look happy. Ellison just voted deputy chair of DNC.
“deputy chair “: a fancy term for “loser”.
Deputy! LIke Barney Fife.
Second class citizen! Revolt!
Ellison is giving the longer speech right now.
Damn racist Democrats!
Probably a setup the entire way, just like Hillary’s nomination.
Citizen's arrest!
His new nickname is Barney Fife Ellison.
DEPUTY CHAIR ELLISON, DOES THIS MEAN DERSHOWITZ STAYS OR GOES, IMHO, ANY TITLE FOR LOUIE FARAKHAN’S SON IS A REASON TO LEAVE THE PARTY.
ITS A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO JEWISH DEM SUPPORTERS.
The mere fact that Ellison would even be considered as a viable candidate to lead the DNC should cause “centrist” liberals to bolt that party.
Yes, as Howie mentioned in the intro to the Brothers Bulger, Dersh represented Kathy Carr in a suit against two broadcast networks and Don Imus.Settled out of court but $ may have paid for Howie’s FL condo.
The late Ron Silver played Dersh in Reversal of Fortune.Silver became
a post 9-11 conservative.
I think Dershowitz has been on Howie’s show too.
Racists! Islamophobes!
What a relief, Alan! Now you can stand with the party of pedos and post-birth abortion! Congrats, you creep.
BS! If that were true, he'd never vote democrat.
The Dummycrat party will not exist in 20 years. It’s base is now made up of insane, ANTI-American , Marxist traitors.
I suspect future elections will be between a People’s Party following the Trump movement against the sad old farts who make up the modern GOP leadership like Rubio, Mclame and the Bushs
YEAH WELL YOUR HERO DOESN’T HAVE TO LEAVE NOW DOESN’T HE.
LEADS EXODUS?
this guy is a POS dem and ANYONE who keeps posting like he’s one of us is, well...
He said he would have voted as an independent but the vast majority of choices would likely be democrats.
He’s ok with abortion and whatnot, but some here fall to their feet over him.
I have NO ####ING IDEA why.
Sadly they got a clue and vote in Perez. Who might be no prize, but at least he’s not an anti-semitic, anti-white racist. Not that I’m aware of, anyway. Although he did turn right around and kiss Ellison’s behind, but I suppose that was to be expected.
Hey Dershowitz, he’s now the deputy chair. What, are you going to stay?
