Im not an American but mere observer. Donna earned my respect after yesterday. Bravo Donna. Hats off. Through my oberservation from the beginning of the primaries, I see Clinton is ingenuine. She is a fake and I think she's only power hungry , greedy and only think of herself first before the cause of greater Americans. McCain is not an option either. Dont make another mistake. Regain the respect of the world, America.

I recognize that there were compromises on all sides in resolving this issue. I'm glad that the DNC worked it through, and I hope that we can start focusing our attention on the substance as opposed to just the process of politics.

@hulkyone I totally agree with you. Clinton should have campaigned with Gore side by side. Clinton had an economic record to be envied. Deficits may not would have occurred. We probably wouldn't have been in Iraq.

"That is referred to as "cheatin'."

Boy, I remember that like it was yesterday.

Donna Brazile is a "king maker...".

Donna Grizzle deserves no respect she took the democracy out of the DNC and gave the nomination to her boo

[tvsbbs]

Her mama may have taught her to play by the rules but clearly she didnt and furthermore she lied when saying she would quit the dnc if it came down to delegates choosing the candidate

Blacks did "play by the rules" when it came to the civil rights movement. Aside from the Black Panthers (who I do somewhat support), they mostly played by the rules -- Martin Luther King played by the rules. If he didn't, and if they acted like animals, civil rights might not be where it's at today. Playing by the rules does not mean to let injustice go on.

[hulkyone]

How dare she say this shit. I ask you people, when laws denied blacks the right to vote, should they had just "played by the rules" and let the injust slide? It's not ok to deny any legal voter the right to have their votes counted

[hulkyone]

She was also so arrogant, that she wanted to take credit for a Gore victory and not have Clinton campaign on his behalf. Gore would have won Florida, New Hampshire, his home state of Tennessee (which Clinton even carried in both 1992 and 1996), Ohio, Missouri, Nevada and Arkansas if Clinton had campaigned side-by-side with him. He was very popular at the time. Read her biography at Gale resources as well. She had a reputation for being a smart aleck throughout her political career

[hulkyone]

She's an EGOTISTICAL PIG, IF YOU ASK ME. She was a supporter for Obama who poorly disguised herself as a neutral delegate throughout the Democratic Primary. When Oprah endorsed Obama, she made it clear who she supported and didn't lie like how Brazile did. When blacks were denied the right to vote, was it neccessary to just "play by the rules" and let the injustice stand? She is very repulsive AND IS ALSO THE REASON WHY GORE LOST IN 2000.

[hulkyone]

She's certainly not the Barbara Jordan of this era. How dare she say "play by the rules" in this manner When blacks were denied the right the vote, was it fair to just "play by the rules" and let it slide? She is a disgrace. She was clearly a sleeper-cell Obama supporter, and she didn't need to lie by calling herself neutral. I have nothing against Obama at all, but this woman is disgusting for what she did
