Marshall Apologizes on Facebook, Clinton Camp Yells "Russia!"

Yesterday I expressed my disapproval of a particularly nasty e-mail in which DNC CFO Brad Marshall discussed questioning Bernie Sanders’ religious faith as a way to score political points.

This is largely to update some of the news that has happened since then.

Yesterday, Brad Marshall took a good first step by apologizing on his Facebook page:

"I deeply regret that my insensitive, emotional emails would cause embarrassment to the DNC, the chairwoman, and all of the staffers who worked hard to make the primary a fair and open process," Marshall said. "The comments expressed do not reflect my beliefs nor do they reflect the beliefs of the DNC and its employees. I apologize to those I offended."
I say it’s a good first step because while I appreciate that Marshall at least takes some responsibility and apologizes for what he did, I still believe that Mr. Marshall should face real consequences for his actions. This isn’t just about violating the neutrality of the primary process, it’s about attacking a fellow Democrat on the grounds of religious faith. That’s not acceptable in the Democratic Party or the progressive movement.

Sadly, it seems the Clinton campaign is continuing its historical pattern of of refusing to take any responsibility, admit any wrongdoing or offer any apology. The campaign did not say it was unacceptable for DNC officials to tip scales during primary battles nor call for those responsible to be disciplined in anyway. Instead, the Clinton camp basically yelled squirrel...er bear:

Saturday, the campaign of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton released a statement that said: "We are very proud of the campaign that we ran. Hillary Clinton has said a number of times publicly that Sen. Sanders ran an extraordinary, hard-fought-campaign based on a real vigorous, and contested primary."

"This is further evidence the Russian government is trying to influence the outcome of the election," the Clinton campaign statement said.

We ran a great campaign. Sanders ran a great campaign. Russia is trying to steal our elections!

Wait...what?

No, the real story here is that the DNC, which has bylaws calling for it to remain completely neutral in primary elections, had top officials who were using their work emails to discuss ways to prop up one presidential candidate and tear down another. To claim that this is just about Russia trying to influence our elections is to basically claim the problem here is not what happened but that we unfortunately found out.

This does nothing to help bring in Sanders supporters. It does nothing to speak to the millions of independents and moderate Republicans who detest Trump about Hillary Clinton’s credibility or trustworthiness which is clearly her biggest negative. Instead it reinforces, for both groups, the perception that the Clinton modus operandi is to deny responsibility, never apologize and avoid any accountability for any involved. It is an unforced political error and we have absolutely got to stop making them.

Seems to me they (the DNC) is reaching out to republicans and could care less about progressives. After all T-RUMP.
They underestimate the berniecrats as they have all along - I hope we go in mass to the Greens with the #demexit.

My goal is to get Jill to 15% and get her on the national stage. The democrats prove time after time they are corrupt beyond repair, and owned lock stock and barrel by big oil, banksters, and insurance companies (among others).

Our problem is the media, which certainly will not report on their own complicity with the DNC to elect the $hill. So the average MSM consuming citizens (even those who do want to be informed) have no idea of the corruption. What a distraction and deception to suggest Russia is at fault. I've even seen the leaks referred to as stolen emails.

On we go. All I can say is go Green!

I don't want to vote for Clinton. I didn't want Tim Kaine. The guy supported right to work laws for crying out loud. I think Trump would be a nightmare. I think Clinton continues more of a slow death for the middle class. Stein seems weak to me by enabling anti-vaxxers and some other anti-science types.

I want to get rid of Pat Toomey here in PA but I'm not excited about his opponent, another establishment favorite who hasn't really done a damn thing for working people. This whole election cycle is really depressing.

As left-but-not-Democrat.

The Greens are a nice place to park your vote so it can be tallied as one that the Democrats lost, but they are not a serious political party with a serious and consistent program to turn back the power of capital. There are a few such; I think the SPUSA will get my vote.

The Greens are nice people, and many are serious in their admirable goals, but to me they seem like an emotional resting place for well-intended people who haven't developed the courage or the consciousness to embrace an actual leftist program.

“If there is no justice for the people, may there be no peace for the government.”

I agree. The libertarians are already on the ballot in every state and the Greens should have had that taken care of already. It was clear to anyone paying attention that the Democratic Party was not going to let Sanders win. We should probably be grateful that he is still alive. A serious party would not have to be playing catch up now.

I would like to see both Stein and Johnson get to the fabled 15% and both be included in debates, if for no other reason than that it will be amusing to watch the lengths to which the Clintonistas go to keep them out. Meanwhile, Trump will be loudly proclaiming how he welcomes any and all opponents; how he is prepared to welcome Sanders supporters "with open arms" as he has already said.

is that the environment is too complex and contentious to be a party's rallying issue. I know it's more than that and I generally like the greens. But it is perceived as a single issue party and that will always be its problem. You are never going to get a large enough consensus on enivronmental issues as they intersect with jobs and "basic freedoms" (people don't like to be told what to do). I think Sanders's alleged desire to start organizations to move the country in a progressive direction are D.O.A. after his performance this morning (absent some volte-face in the near future). Frankly, I think all we are left with is rage. Channel that rage into something disruptive to the system. I think that's probably the only course of action for the near future.

And voting for Stein might force me into a "lesser of two evils" vote.
Nevertheless, I am now down to exactly 3 Democrats I trust: Bernie, Grayson, and Canova.
That is not enough to keep me in the Party Proper.
I don't want to work. I have to work.
I do have a choice when it comes to voting. Nobody can force me to vote, or force me to vote a particular way.
I reject the party that foisted Clinton upon me and is forcing me to vote for her or leave.

Stop the "humanitarian" interventions. Bring our soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines back home and put them to work, with the same pay and benefits on dealing with urgent problems here. Everything from fire fighting to environomental cleanup to rebuilding roads and bridges. Zionists might complain but Zionists are voting for Killary anyway.

Read her comment, read opposing views on what it meant. I think its intentionally wish-washy which is why you can read it both ways.

Yes, the power of big pharma is a concern but I think a doctor should be able to come out and definitively say refusing to get your kids vaccinated is a bad idea, period.

I tend to like Jill Stein better than Hillary Clinton, but do I like her enough more than Clinton to risk Trump winning PA? That's a tough question. I think where I come down is, if a pollster were to ask me who I'm voting for, I'd say Jill Stein to help her poll numbers and get her in the convention. With my own vote come November, if it's still close, I'd probably go Hillary so long as something even more horrible doesn't come out. And then push like hell for investigations into this rigged process. The GOP would give us that if they win but it woudl just be a ridiculous witch hunt going after all kinds of phantoms and not fixing anything real. After all, they invented hacking and rigging voting machines. They don't want their own secrets exposed.

I'm trying my best to be conciliatory but feel strongly that organic agriculture and green energy are hard sciences.

How does voting for Jill Stein do anything to DEFEAT the Clintons?

The Greens are very disorganized. Seem to have different names, as well as a different focus in each state in which they're registered. Bernie Sanders accomplished more in a little over a year, then the Green party has done in decades. Jill Stein seems to be the only person I hear about, with no political experience, and weak leadership, given the lack of organization of her party.

Most important to me, defeating the Clintons, getting to Clear out and CLEAN out the Democratic party. Only way to show them they can't LIE like they have - is to defeat them. Means 4 years of Trump. If not Trump, then a no vote for me.

Will NOT play within the system "as it stands now."

Clintons continuing in power is much more frightening than 4 years of Trump.

and local groups. You need some centralized organization to run a presidential campaign.

When the Green Party invited the Berniecrats to join them, and then when they welcomed us with open arms, they got the groundwork for a centralized campaign, whether they wanted it or not.

We, the New Greens, are now raising money, setting programs into place, and recruiting organizers for spots that need them. We are self starting and self organizing. We will run a campaign that will be a force to be reckoned with.

Yes, we're optimistic. But we are quite aware of the amount of work needed to make that goal come true. And we're willing to put that much effort into the race.

of airtime to Gary Johnson. This is obviously to try and pull votes from Trump. Meanwhile, zero coverage of Stein so as to not pull votes from $Hillary. Many Republicans I know are just going to stay home come November. It's all moot point anyway since the Clinton Crime Family appears to have complete control of the election apparatus. I will however still vote Stein and should Trump somehow overcome the rigged election and win, so be it. I sure hope that the Bernie delegates have the courage to walk out of the convention and down the street to the Green Party. Somehow, someway, the duopoly lesser evil paradigm must be destroyed. If it takes a Trump presidency to do it, I think the country and the world would be better off in the long run. #JillNotHill #DemExit #NeverHillary #NeverTrump

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

The problem is you can't say who, and there is even evidence that multiple actors are involved. So blaming Russia for election fraud is a safe, unverifiable, possibly partly true claim.

Of course this says nothing about voter suppression or all the other crap that is oozing into the sunlight. And frankly, anyone stupid enough to give Putin a weapon deserves what they get - and should never be allowed anywhere near the national security apparatus.

We also only know about the stuff that was released. For all we know he's keeping the good stuff in reserve for blackmail. Maybe a bit CT but if these clowns had been even passing honest, it wouldn't be a reasonable question.

Bernie is set to talk to all of his delegates on Monday afternoon, before the nighttime festivities begin. It'll be interesting to hear what he says, but I'm worried that he's gonna tell them to get in line and suck it up.

DWS is not speaking at the convention now (thanks, emails! :P) and, while that is an excellent first step, it's not enough. Brad Marshall still needs to be fired, along with Amy Dacey and the lot of them.

Its fate during his reign is evidence enough of that, as is his putting corrupt incompetents like DWS and Tim Kaine in charge. If Republicans had set up a Trojan horse candidate to run the Democratic party, he would probably look a lot like Barack Obama.

Into the breach the Clintons stepped, consolidating their control of a party that had slipped away in the Bush and early Obama years. The billiionaires paid off the Clintons very handsomely, and the corporatist fixers seized back control of the party and bought off the Obama people. The Clintons are in firmer control of the party than ever now, and firing DWS won't make a bit of difference. Her golden parachute awaits, and some equally loathesome creature will no doubt succeed her.

Marshall was vile. He did not apologize until after his disgusting email was made public and people were calling for the resignation of DWS. Then, he apologized on Facebook, but not to Sanders. Besides which, the damage is already done and Marshall got what he wanted; Sanders lost; Marshall's candidate won.

I would not give this apology the weight of a flea on a low carb diet.

Clinton shared secret Greek info while son-in-law's hedge fund placed bailout bets

...sharing classified information on her server with Bill and her son-in-law concerning Greece while her son-in-law was making up a $300 million package with Goldman Sachs to bet on Greek finances...

Has anyone seen these in the email dumps? Or is it something RT has deep background on?

No wonder Clinton wants to discredit Russia (and RT).

When I surf the net for news, one site I hit is Drudge to get a sense of what the daily right wing agenda will be by a scan of the headlines. Now, I do the same for some major Democratic party sites and treat them the same as I treat Drudge. What I see is that Clinton (and I mean the campaign and her supporters), are stirring and kicking the dogs of war to not only attack Trump but also to defend DNC corruption. From what I read of comments and articles themselves, there calls to what effectively is McCarthy-like hearings and aggressive action by NATO against the Russians for this what is to Clintonistas an act of war by Putin.

On this site, the Russian accusation is seen for that it is. Not by party loyalists--there is a frenzy being slow brewed against the Russians that is no different than what Trump is doing with immigrants, Muslims, and Mexicans.

That apology is disgustingly hollow, just like the soul of the Democrat party.
