the evil jewish conspiracy is literally standing in the way of communism huh

quote:

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN Keith Ellison lost his bid to become the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday after a scorched-earth smear campaign targeting his religious faith, his affinity for the Nation of Islam in his youth, and his support for Palestinian rights alongside a secure Israel.

Instead, the majority of the DNC�s voting members chose former labor secretary Tom Perez to lead the party. After two rounds of voting in Atlanta, Perez netted 235 votes to Ellison�s 200.

Perez was widely perceived as being brought into the race by allies of President Obama, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and other members of the party establishment. One of the speakers who introduced his nomination, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Jamie Harrison, also works as a corporate lobbyist for the D.C.-based Podesta Group. After neither candidate reached a majority of votes in the first round of voting, Harrison was on the floor, whipping votes for Perez.

Ellison � a black man, a Bernie Sanders supporter, and the first Muslim elected to Congress � earned initial support from many Democrats until a strong backlash from the Obama and Clinton camps and prominent pro-Israeli activists.

Haim Saban, the entertainment tycoon who is one of the Democratic Party�s largest donors, called Ellison both �anti-Israel� and anti-Semitic. The Anti-Defamation League called on Democrats to reject him. On the eve of the vote, prominent Democrat Alan Dershowitz proclaimed that he would leave the party if Ellison were elected chair; Jack Rosen, who leads the American Jewish Congress, emailed DNC members the day before the vote decrying Ellison�s views on the Middle East, concluding that he threatened the U.S.-Israel relationship.

Perez, on the other hand, courted pro-Israel activists during the course of the contest.

Shortly after his victory, Perez offered the newly created position of �deputy chair� to Ellison, which Ellison accepted. This is not an official position in the DNC�s bylaws so it is unclear what this position would entail. It is also unclear whether Ellison will still leave Congress, which he announced he would do if he won the chair position.

Many prominent Muslim Americans expressed disappointment in Ellison�s defeat, saying that his treatment during the course of the campaign was emblematic of how Muslims fare in public life.

The Brookings Institution�s Shadi Hamid, former Al Jazeera host Wajahat Ali, and prominent Muslim New Yorker Linda Sarsour reacted on Twitter:

Sadly, this is the sort of thing that's done to any Muslim who runs for office. Apparently, this DNC race wasn't enough to put an end to it https://t.co/twmFw8J6V8

Ellison 4 2 state solution, voted to give $$ to Israel, against BDS, gets backing of respected Jewish Ams = still not enough to remove smear

� Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) February 25, 2017

Not going to lie. I am disappointed. I get solace knowing @keithellison keeps his seat in Congress. Hope he runs for Senate. #DNCChair

The Intercept posted:

https://theintercept.com/2017/03/16/key-democratic-officials-now-warning-base-not-to-expect-evidence-of-trumprussia-collusion/

Key Democratic officials are clearly worried about the expectations that have been purposely stoked and are now trying to tamp them down. Many of them have tried to signal that the beliefs the base has been led to adopt have no basis in reason or evidence.

The latest official to throw cold water on the MSNBC-led circus is President Obama�s former acting CIA chief Michael Morell. What makes him particularly notable in this context is that Morell was one of Clinton�s most vocal CIA surrogates. In August, he not only endorsed Clinton in the pages of the New York Times but also became the first high official to explicitly accuse Trump of disloyalty, claiming, �In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.�

But on Wednesday night, Morell appeared at an intelligence community forum to �cast doubt� on �allegations that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.� �On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire at all,� he said, adding, �There�s no little campfire, there�s no little candle, there�s no spark. And there�s a lot of people looking for it.�

Obama�s former CIA chief also cast serious doubt on the credibility of the infamous, explosive �dossier� originally published by BuzzFeed, saying that its author, Christopher Steele, paid intermediaries to talk to the sources for it. The dossier, he said, �doesn�t take you anywhere, I don�t think.�

Morell�s comments echo the categorical remarks by Obama�s top national security official, James Clapper, who told Meet the Press last week that during the time he was Obama�s DNI, he saw no evidence to support claims of a Trump/Russia conspiracy. �We had no evidence of such collusion,� Clapper stated unequivocally. Unlike Morell, who left his official CIA position in 2013 but remains very integrated into the intelligence community, Clapper was Obama�s DNI until just seven weeks ago, leaving on January 20.

Perhaps most revealing of all are the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee � charged with investigating these matters � who recently told BuzzFeed how petrified they are of what the Democratic base will do if they do not find evidence of collusion, as they now suspect will likely be the case. �There�s a tangible frustration over what one official called �wildly inflated� expectations surrounding the panel�s fledgling investigation,� BuzzFeed�s Ali Watkins wrote.

Moreover, �several committee sources grudgingly say, it feels as though the investigation will be seen as a sham if the Senate doesn�t find a silver bullet connecting Trump and Russian intelligence operatives.� One member told Watkins: �I don�t think the conclusions are going to meet people�s expectations.�
