Gayle KING/Nora O'DONNELL held BRAZILE's feet to her own fire. The View, next.

Despite previously being called on other shows about her false versions and inconsistences, BRAZILE continues her weaseling walk-backs of her claims - while the original false versions and inconsistences are out there in print without asterisk corrections.

When she started up with how CLINTON had a controlling contract, O'DONNELL immediately zapped her with, "That's not true..." KING similarly politely but firmly paddled ping pong balls at her. BRAZILE retreated into her shell, "I love both of these (women) and know them - Gayle was my editor..."

********Yeah, me, too, detest this topic and wish it had never come up, but continue to watch her appearances to see how much her inconsistencies are being called and waiting for her to recant. Please skip on by without the Don't-post-more-BRAZILE stuff, thanks.

To top it off, the "Democratic" pollster SCHOEN is out there on the Faux Propaganda network calling for a complete investigation of all of anything about CLINTON, wtf?!1

I'm so p***ed at Donna I could spit! There's not enough money in the world that could make me read (never mind buy) Brazile's book.

4. And that's what most misogynsts and racist people will think as well.
See why identity politics is going to kill us all?
See how this situation can be turned around and bite us in the ass?
HUH? What are you talking about? How so?

Also, isn't she a 'prominent' Democratic figure? I thought it was taboo to bash a Democratic figure on this site?
What elected office does she hold, or aspire to hold?

See how pointless these echo chambers are now?
Echo chamber? Why do you consider this site to be an "echo chamber"?

It's a question - but it's really a statement - correct?

So would it be better if we just had the two parties go to two settings and let them duke it out and speak around us?


Republican - Rich White Men
Democratic - Poor White Men

To make diversity itself sound bad, just as bad in its different way as calling the GOP a white male supremacy party does.

People should be ashamed to use that term.

All the widely diverse factions that make up the Democratic Party have a right to be represented by their own party, and expect to be. Quite an ideal, not possible to meet entirely for all groups, but it is a noble ideal that is intrinsic to our party's commitment to democratic principles.

It's also far too noble and democratic for those who would destroy us to admit is real. So they twist reality to make good seem bad, diversity mean dysfunction, and democratic ideals of equality and right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness seem as dead in our party as they are in today's GOP.

and any problems that aren't need to go to the back of the bus...

Then you are correct - dismissing the unique issues that women, POC, and LGBTQs face as secondary will kill us all.

But I don't think you mean that.

Whoopi said, "You do know this book is being used against the party..."

BRAZILE says, "I never used the word 'rigged' in my book, said 'cancer'... I love and respect Hillary, but what I wanted control over was the dollar... I wanted to fight back... (against TWITLER) and that's why I said, 'Bernie, I found the cancer...' "

Hmmm, I wish I had seen PASSION from Donna AIMED AT REPUKES in all those years since Coup 2000.
