Some Democratic delegates looked like intolerant idiots Thursday during votes on the Democratic platform. If you missed it, this ad by Republican Congressman Allen West pretty much sums it up - and Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for handing their opponents this little gem.
UPDATE: They took down the ad. Hopefully, West will put it back up soon.
UPDATE 2: It is back up....see it below.
It is time for Mark Alan Siegel to resign. The chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party has made an ass of himself. In a video taped tirade, he says things such as this:
"I'm Jewish. I'm not a fan of any religion other than Judaism."
He also declares he is not a fan of Christianity.
"The Christians just want us to be there so we can all be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ. They are not our friends."
Siegel has apologized. In a statement he says:
"I apologize to all Democrats and Floridians for my ill chosen words last night. After watching the interview I realize that what I said did not accurately make the point I was trying to establish.
"More importantly I apologize to all Christians, Jews and other people of faith for any embarrassment or anger my remarks may have caused. Throughout my life I have practiced religious tolerance among all people of faith.
"I am sincerely sorry for any remarks I made that may have diminished that record. I alone am responsible for my remarks and I pray that they are not taken as the position of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party."
Florida Democratic Party chairman Rod Smith has called on Siegel to resign but so far he has refused. Instead he is taking a leave of absence.
Siegel is being foolish. It is time to resign. Judge for yourself. Watch the video.
