Democrats did not expect to spend Wednesday arguing about the capital of Israel and the appearance of the word “God” in their platform. There were, reportedly, 15,000 members of the media in Charlotte, of whom maybe 14,980 could have given a damn about the party platform.
First off, Slate claims that nobody really cares about what's in the "platform," sort of like when SanFranNan stated that Obamacare needed to be passed and made law before we could know what was in it.
Secondly, and more importantly, the last time I checked, Israelis and the Nation of Israel "believe" that Jerusalem, the "City of David, is the capital of the country. Silly them, as the DNC's Presidential Platform (approved by Obama beforehand), as well as the Obama regime has now decided that the capital of Israel will be up for discussion by Israel's enemies. When that came out and was made public, the SHTF, and the establishment DNC realized that they had pushed the leftist line just a bit too far, realizing that Speilberg, Katzenberg, and most of the big money, far left Jewish financiers of the Dems just weren't quite ready for that step, the total abandonment of Israel to her enemies. Maybe in the next election cycle, but not quite yet.

This reads like it was written by a stereotyped exaggeration of a pasty nebbish who has never seen the sun or dated a girl.
Mark Siegel resigned Friday from his post in the Palm Beach County Democratic Party, according to the communications director of the state's Democratic Party, Brannon Jordan.
Siegel, speaking to a conservative journalist in Charlotte, NC, said he wasn't a fan of Christianity because "the Christians just want [Jews] to be there so we can be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ."
Bringing this kind of rehetoric to light isn't trolling...it's actual reporting that the msm won't report if it comes from a dem.
Any comment made online, if it’s given the right forum, is as relevant as any comment made by some media gatekeeper
They can't stand it that holes have been cut in their media fence, and that wild and dangerous facts have escaped their media zoo
“Regarding ‘trolling,’ ” Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack told me via email, “I think the word ‘reporting’ would be better.”* I agree. The Washington Times, the Examiner, and other conservative media were trying to get Democrats on the record on subjects they’d rather ignore and finesse. “The mainstream press had a good amount of coverage on GOP platform's abortion plank,” wrote McCormack, “(which was silent on exceptions and hadn't changed at all from past) so they could talk about abortion in the instance of rape.” The rest of the media skipped out on covering the Democrats’ platform negotiations, and missed out on the story of the Jerusalem planks.
For all the talk about "trolling" (shouldn't that be "trawling" if it comes from the fishing world?) this was a triumph for reporting things that the mainstream media doesn't want to report.
FWIW, apparently "trolling" and "trawling" are both ways of fishing. I can't help thinking, though, that if it weren't for the under-the-bridge-living trolls the term wouldn't have caught on.
The two things about both of the conventions that will stick in the voters minds more than anything else will be the Empty Chair and the Removal of God.
The left’s definition of a troll: anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Look forward to “anti-troll” laws in the future.
