The amazing conclusion to yesterday’s snafu involving the Democratic platform’s language on Israel. After an evening of bad press they decided to reinsert the language about Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, along with some language about God after people noticed that the phrase “God-given” in the 2008 platform had been dropped in the new one. Simple process, in theory: Have someone from the floor propose adding the new language, then let the delegates approve it via a voice vote. The result? A trainwreck so awful that even Paul Begala didn’t try to spin it.
As you’ll see, Villaraigosa’s astonishment that there are so many nays is palpable, and pure gold. Reporters were taken aback too:

Save it before it gets taken down.
That’s the way the Democrats count votes in elections, too.
Can the idiots who run the Democrat Party please call some more revealing floor votes.
It’s a strange way to count votes in a “Democratic” party.
Now that is funny stuff.
So God is in the heaven pacing around, listening to the proceedings, wondering how it’s going to go. They like Me. Oh, wait, they don’t like me. Oh, good, they really do like me.
Collectivism. It makes the mind small.
Reporters need top be running down Axelrod, Jarret and Debbie Whatever-her name is and asking them if they planned it this way - campaign geniuses that they are.
Just commented and sent the video to a (Jewish) friend who has an e-mail list Google would envy that the Democrats in Charlotte have one upped Philadelphia. The latter just booed Santa Claus. The DNC went two steps better (worse, actually) and booed both G*d and the Holy City of Jerusalem. This IS going viral.
“The amazing conclusion to yesterday’s snafu....”

What snafu?
This was the true democrat facade that was kept hidden all the time.
Hilarious.
They would have been better off leaving it out and letting the issue drop.
Now they even pissed off their own base too
What is the over-under on Axelrod’s pant changes this evening?
Now that is funny stuff.

You say we all belong to government. You think abortion should be a happy event and celebrated. You hate God and boo Israel.
and they call us NAZI’s.
lol.
The leftist anti-semites boo God and cheer abortion. How any American could be a member of the democrat party defies common sense.
Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! LOL!!!
Private sector doing just fine. Bwahahahahah!!!
BTTT
THree votes to get the one they wanted. Not since Obama care has a vote been preordained and crammed down the throats of the voters.
But they didn't get the vote they wanted. Each vote was 50/50 or thereabouts, the last being more nays, IMO. And it needed 2/3 to pass. Villagrosa ruled it passed by fiat. That's a perfect example of how Obama has ruled these past 4 years. And, thanks for the comparison between Obamacare and this vote. You're absolutely right. The democrats don't care what the public wants. It's their way or the highway.
Just heard on Hugh Hewitt show. “Why is anyone surprised? This is the way they (the Dems) passed Obamacare”.
Precisely. The fact they had to take three votes and then rule by fiat points out their respect for “rule of the people” AND rule of law. Talking heads and blogs should be all over this!
