Alan Dershowitz: Why I Will Leave the Democratic Party If Ellison Is Elected its Chairman
Algemeiner ^ | 2/24 | Alan Dershowitz

Posted on 02/24/2017 2:30:09 PM PST by ErikJohnsky

Tomorrow the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will have to choose the direction of the Democratic Party, as well as its likely composition. It will be among the most important choices the DNC has ever had to make. There has been a powerful push from the hard-left of the Democratic Party, led by senator Bernie Sanders, to elect Keith Ellison 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. We will not be leaving the Democratic Party we have long supported. The Democratic Party will be leaving us!

And the converse principle, McLettuce: too traitorous to be American, and too chickenshit to be an outright RAT.

This is what identity politics looks like.

Most white liberals will be voting Republican in 20 years.

I couldn’t care less what Dershowitz does......he’s dead to me for supporting and voting for Hillary in the first place!

In other words, Dershowitz is more of a Clinton Democrat than an Obama Democrat.

“...(Ellison’s) accession to DNC chair would be the Sanders communists ...” Actually more like Hamas or Hezbollah or the Muslim Brotherhood - pick one or more ...

Ellison is the perfect choice —he represents modern day liberalism to a tee

Angry, Hateful, tied to to hate groups, tied to islamic terrorists, racist against whites, extreme

He is the model of everything they are.

He says right there that he will continue voting for Democrats. Dershowitz thinks that Hillary is just fine but draws a line in the sand with Ellison, and for some reason some people here are applauding him for his opportunism and hypocrisy.

Who cares, Alan?


you and me maybe not.. but to other on the left that’s a wake-up call to them that’s what they call Red pilling

The liberal Dems and leftist are waking up to the truth of what they are supporting

We on the right have never been able to figure out why the left and Progressive movement are aligning itself with radical Islam... because radical Islam is the most “regressive” force in the world... it seems so out of Step

guess what we’re not the only ones wondering a lot of the left temper gracias is waking up alse as to why the hell are they are in bed with radical Islam?

Just like Trump took over the Republican party and for the same reason. The party had no ideas.

However Trump has the right ideas and Bernies ideas are from the 1840’s.

The current rat party has no ideas except to Call everone a Racist.

But Alan how is Ellison any different from Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz or Donna Brazille?

Ellison is a Muslim Jew-hater. That's all Alan cares about. If Ellison just hated Christians, Alan would be fine.

Sorry, Dershowitz. As a straight, white, successful male Jew they just don’t have any room for you.

All of the above. Each faction, Communists and Moslems will use each other to gain joint total power then deal with the other after.
