Open Letter to Donna Brazile

Posted by barbie11 On July - 23 - 2008

I sent this email to Donna Brazile a few weeks back and I still have not received a reply. Maybe someone who the Democratic Party doesn’t think they can do without (Ms. Brazile assured us on CNN that we are not needed) can send it and get a reply.

Dear Ms. Brazile,

I read something you wrote back in 2004 and I wondered if you recall this…
 

“When one of my sisters—who, coincidentally, is a recovering Republican—was told in church that she would go to hell if she voted for Sen. Kerry, she stood up and denounced the preacher’s message. Oh yeah, the religious right, armed with new recruits from the black pulpits, came after African-Americans with the same angry messages. But, as my niece confirmed in a phone conversation this week, they all voted for John Kerry anyway. Even my sister, the once-proud Republican, is now ashamed of what happened inside those churches.”

Now, if your sister had enough sense to know what was being said from the pulpit was wrong, why didn’t your hand-picked nominee? Why did he sit silent for 20 years? Why did he only “denounce the preacher’s message” when it became politically expedient to do so?

Thank you in advance for your response.
