- jackfrodo 10y agoIt's smearing him as an atheist. He's saying that southern baptists would be okay with electing a Jewish person but not an atheist.
- Natsu 10y agoWhatever the case, it sure does look as if the DNC has been playing favorites. There's more where that came from, e.g. - > From: Daniel Strauss [dstrauss1987@me.com<mailto:dstrauss1987@me.com>] > Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2016 12:25 PM > To: Miranda, Luis > Subject: Deep background question > > Hey > > So we want to see the list of committee appointments the Sanders Folks submitted just to verify it was mostly staffers and ineligible figures. That possible with no fingerprints attached? https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/7065 https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/7065
- thrillpot 10y agoIt's an odd difference, but that's actually alleging he's atheist. Being Jewish is considered preferable to evangelical voters.
- tanderson92 10y agoI would argue that the distinction is between smearing him because he's a secular Jew or being an atheist. They're arguing he's an insufficiently religious Jew, which is a common smear in itself against some Jews.
- deadmik3 10y agoI'm not from kentucky or west virginia, but my understanding of those places is that it would be much worse to run as an atheist than as a jew
- tanderson92 10y agoI think you're likely right. It is fascinating how my post has been downvoted to 0 (from 5), though.
