Someone, Take Donna’s Blackberry Away from Her

Thousands are calling for her resignation. Thousands more are wondering if she’s off her meds (or needs to be ON some meds). What I WANT TO KNOW is WHAT IN THE HELL the poor saps like us who donate to the Democratic party are paying this woman? (I actually searched for information today on what Donna Brazile is paid by the DNC, but was unable to find any financial statements. If any of you can, please find it and share it with us.)
There’s a sweet soul who has a lovely little blog, Little Isis, who had the temerity to write to Miss Donna Brazile. Her polite note included:
Hi Donna!!!!
I am emailing you on behalf of many people. I am, as you may know, a Hillary Clinton Supporter. You have probably gotten a lot of emails from her supporters, and I understand from the blogs I often frequent that you have responded to many of them.
I want you to know that I read bits and pieces of your autobiography, Cooking With Grease, and thought it was wonderful and well written. I came to understand from your book and from a lot of what I have witnessed in this election cycle that to simply put groups of people in Demographics and Exit polls is a misunderstanding of both America and the Democratic Party. …
The rest of her letter to Donna Brazile was similarly polite, kindly, and complimentary. She signed it, “respectfully, A young female voter from Ohio.” THIS is the response this young Democrat received:
Thanks Natalie,
As of today, I am not going to respond to any more anti American, Anti Democratic emails. Have a nice day.
I am sorry because you are sincere, but the Hillary forces are uncivil, repugnant and vile. When you come up for air and would like to email a person who cares about America and not just a personality, I will respond.
Thanks for your time and your interest.
Donna
What can one say?
Well, leave it to the very earnest and polite LittleIsis to write a rational response to her blog’s readers:
I kid you not. That was her reply. This is DNC leadership. A Superdelegate and a person responsible for seating Florida and Michigan. Is this normal behavior for party leadership? I must say that I’m somewhat confused. And if anyone can tell me how my letter to her was “Anti-American” and “Anti-Democratic” and how I supposedly “don’t care about America” because I urged her to count the votes in two swing states, please let me know. I’m dying to figure out how counting votes is “Anti-American” and “Anti-Democratic”.
I would urge everyone not to try and email her anymore. She is beyond rationality at this point. And I would also urge everyone who did have exchanges with her to contact the DNC about this and also to send what she wrote back to every media outlet you possibly can. She clearly is incredibly unprofessional, and it alarms me that she is in the position she is in right now.
You may share your opinions with Little Isis.
I can think of what I might like to write. But here are some samples from her blog:
I know there’s not many outlets that are at least fair to Hillary, but have you considered sending this to them? Maybe Dobbs or Morning Joe? Sad you have to go to Repubs for fair coverage. – Marc
Like Marc, MANY of us have found the most respectful, objective, and rational commentaries to have come from Republicans and/or conservatives like Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan.
We find ourselves, more and more, watching Fox News because at least there’s SOME chance that Hillary Clinton will be treated with dignity and respect. And because Fox News is truly more “fair and balanced” than CNN and vastly moreso than MSNBO.

This is a great illustration why the Democratic Party is going to fail. What was she talking about? People like brazile could care less about what mainstream Democrats think. Her opinion is biased and not worth listening to any longer. She is one of the many reasons long time Democrats will not vote for Obama and he will not win in November, if nominated. The obama apostles like brazile will scream racism but they need to look at themselves.
We all know that Suzy is correct. We’re already used to being called racists, a terrible misuse of a very important term.
We’re astonished that the Democratic party, at a singular time when it could nominate a person who would make a great president, would instead choose a highly inexperienced candidate who has run largely on empty rhetoric and a mesmerizing marketing strategy designed to make people swoon, not think.
Then there is the more, um, blunt response — with which I can also empathize:
Donna Brazile is a disgusting lecherous troll maggot douchebag barf hag scumbag who, like her new errand boy, Barack Obama, only cares about her own personal aggrandizement. You wrote a very well though out letter that was empathic, and sincere. The fact that she shit all over you is proof that we are better of destroying the Democratic Party than ever supporting Barack Obama.
Don’t let that hag get you down!
Rude and crude as it is, this response also speaks to the utter DISGUST we are feeling here.
A THOUGHT OR TWO:
It was bad enough, during the years of the Bush presidency, to feel like we were powerless to stop a war, to preserve Constitutional rights and guarantees, to protect our nation’s military viability, to give any attention to the massive needs in our own country — from our environmental peril to our crumbling infrastructure to our growing number of impoverished low-wage or unemployed people to our completely unfair health care system.
But now we have to feel powerless because a DNC bureaucracy doesn’t give a damn what we think? Doesn’t pay attention to the inability of its Chosen One to win the major electoral college states required to win the presidency? Doesn’t care that its Chosen One hasn’t the experience or the work ethic to truly make a difference should he, by some miracle, be elected? Doesn’t seem to realize that it is nearly guaranteeing the election of John McCain as the next president?
At least when we felt powerless during the Bush years, we had a enemy we could comprehend rationally. But now our enemy is the party that was supposed to be on OUR side.
I’m dumfounded. I’m confused. I’m upset.
But I’m not going to shut up. And the very best thing is that I know you aren’t either.
