So, this got left out of the reporting of the Jewish/Atheist reference
What we have seen in main stream reporting is that Brad Marshall, CFO, says what he says, then some have been reporting a reply email which says, 'Amen,' which is TRUE, but there was an email in the chain -ALSO FROM MARSHALL- which might make a lot of folks who identify as Christian quite unhappy.
Here's the third email in the chain which shows the progression of all three. In sequence:
First email:
From:MARSHALL@dnc.org
To: MirandaL@dnc.org, PaustenbachM@dnc.org, DaceyA@dnc.org
Date: 2016-05-05 03:31
Subject: No shitIt might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. 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 points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.
Second email:
From:MARSHALL@dnc.org
To: MirandaL@dnc.org, PaustenbachM@dnc.org, DaceyA@dnc.org
Date: 2016-05-05 03:33
Subject: Re: No shitIt's these Jesus thing.
(sic)
Third email:
From:DaceyA@dnc.org
To: MARSHALL@dnc.org, MirandaL@dnc.org, PaustenbachM@dnc.org
Date: 2016-05-05 12:23
Subject: Re: No shitAMEN
Amy K. Dacey | Chief Executive Officer
So, he's taken a stab at least at Atheists and Christians here, and perhaps Jews...
And, finally, someone at Twist the Knife (?)calls it out for what this is:
Essentially what we have here is a top official of one of the two main political parties encouraging mistrust, hatred, and bigotry against a group of Americans because of their religious beliefs (or lack thereof).
Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
The DNC loves to point out Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric at every opportunity, but have no qualms about capitalizing on essentially the same kind of fear and bigotry when it suits their purposes.
Please share this post far and wide. This despicable piece of trash Brad Marshall should not be allowed to bash atheists and get away with it. In a response email DNC CEO Amy Dacey responds with “Amen.” She needs to answer for that too.
It’s time for anti-atheist bigot Brad Marshall to resign.

They aren't specifically pro-Bernie - one of their pieces is titled, "Sanders Calls Trump A Bully While Endorsing The Candidate That Bullied His Supporters"

Hence the DNC's new motto:
Cognitive Dissonance: It's Not Just for Republican'ts Anymore
I want my two dollars!
It's the DNC trying to set up a religious test/trap
to alienate potential voters in specific areas from voting for Bernie on grounds of faith.
And yes, it is the height of hypocrisy to call out Donald Trump for religious discrimination/bigotry while they plot their own self-serving version.

As an atheist, I can firmly state that all these "people of faith" who think atheists are lesser humans, are themselves a bunch of assholes. Them and their magic books.

Maybe the part of the Constitution which prohibits
religion from being a test for public office has a point. Having been raised in a Jewish home, I found Marshall's comments to be both anti-atheist and anti-Semitic. Anytime someone starts talking about a person's religion, it usually doesn't come from a good place.
That all being said, we need to be banging pots about all the ways any candidate but Hillary was disadvantaged by the DNC. Were the voting "irregularities" in several states really errors, or planned disruptions? And, if they were planned, did the DNC play an active part in it? Being a bigot is reprehensible. Screwing with elections is illegal. Is there silence about this, or am I not looking in the right places?
The new Assange tantalization
is that She who is in the process of being coronated is next to be outed... to which I believe she replied (could have been her campaign) that there was no danger her emails would be leaked.
I guess we shall see what we shall see.

Dog whistle to end of timers?
Curious line: "My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist." Why would Southern Baptists differentiate both groups as neither are even close to true believers in JesusHChrist? But to end of timers the Jews are critical to bring on the end when the Christian god will smote every non-believer, including Jews. In what I have read, these end of timers are hyper supporters of Israel because Jews will be needed to bring on the end times. Being years since I read about them, but there was some thinking that god would create a separate heaven for faithful Jews and not smote them with the rest. Sorta an apartheid version of heaven.
