Top DNC Official Wanted to Use Bernie Sanders’s Religious Beliefs Against Him
Wow, freedom or religion means squat to Democrats. What a hate filled party.

Quote:In a recent e-mail sent to several Democratic party staff, a top Democratic National Committee (DNC) official suggested that the party should raise questions about Sanders’ “Jewish heritage” in key primary states.

“It might ma[ke] no difference, but for [Kentucky] and [West Virginia] can we get someone to ask his belief[?]” DNC chief financial officer Brad Marshall wrote in an e-mail to several other party officials on May 5, 2016. “Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist.”

“This could make several [percentage] points difference,” Marshall continued. “My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.”

The very next day, the Sanders publicly accused the DNC of “trying to tip the party convention in Hillary Clinton’s favor.” In December of 2015, the party cut off the Sanders campaign’s access to its own voter data.

Marshall’s e-mail was part of a large trove of DNC messages released by Wikileaks on Friday. The revelation of his suggested attacks on Sanders’ only poured fuel on the fire of accusations that the DNC was anything but neutral during the party’s primary between Sanders, a sitting senator from Vermont and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Marshall, however, was not the only senior DNC official eager to knife Sanders. DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Sanders’ campaign manager a “damn liar” in a May 17 e-mail.

In response to another e-mail, which contained a news article about Sanders’ desire to appoint a new party chair if he won the nomination, Wasserman Schultz wrote, “This is a silly story. He isn’t going to be president.”

He is a non-practice Jewish. That does not mean that he believes in God.

and if Hillary wanted to make that case, she is free to do so. But not the DNC.

BTW Kentucky has always had a great relationship with the Jewish People. Louisville has a fairly large Jewish population and We even elected Mayor Jerry Abramson (also became Lt. Gov.) and U.S. Congressman John Yarmuth . So this crap about getting someone from Kentucky to complain about Bernie being Jewish is just more Hillary campaign rubbish. BTW Bernie supporters numbered in the Thousands during campaigned stops in Louisville. Hillary was in hundreds and almost always in the Black communities. Her campaign is despicable.
