They showed their true colors and. they are not, Red. White and Blue.

Tam said:WOW they just showed the vote on reinstating the wording and it was clear they did not get the 2/3 vote to change the wording back to include God or Jerusalem as Israels capital back into their platform. The NO's were as loud if not louder than the Yes vote and they judge to put the wording back in.
The party elites clearly did not like the backlash they got on the new platform wording and wanted to stop the exit of supporters.
"Arab Democrats for Obama".

In one camera shot one guy shouting NO long and loud was wearing a Teeshirt that said "Arab Democrats for Obama".

And they don't hide it and the libtards don't even care either.
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883

So do you think that US citizens of Arab descent should not be allowed to belong to a political party? Not be allowed to vote?
Maybe we should have removed this plaque from the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City, New York, U.S.... :???:

DNC Delegates Revolt Against Vote To Recognize Jerusalem As Israeli Capital In Platform
DNC Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa then called for a voice vote on the motion. But it didn’t go as smoothly as expected.
The aye’s and no’s were so evenly matched that Villaraigosa had to take the vote two times before the commissioner stepped up to intervene. A befuddled Villaraigosa took the vote once more before making a judgment call and ruling “aye” to officially add the amendment to the platform.
Arab DNC Delegate Outraged Jerusalem Was Restored To Party Platform…
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The president of a top Arab American group is lashing out at the 11th hour political maneuvering that restored language about Israel capital to the Democratic convention platform — calling the move “insulting to my community.”
“I think it was embarrassing,” Zogby said. “What bothers me is the way it was done.”
Democrats had initially dropped some language dating to 2008 about Jerusalem in their 2012 platform — but restored it on a quick voice vote Wednesday.
While two-thirds of the delegates were required to vote in the affirmative, there was significant opposition on the floor to the resolution — which also restored the word God to the platform. The DNC held the voice vote three times, before declaring it passed without a roll call. That news was met with boos from delegates across the convention hall.
Zogby said about his Arab American constituency: “They’re upset. They’re upset with me. They’re upset with us. They’re upset with the president.”
Larrry said:Arab or American
Don't use dual loyalty crap, it doesn't wash.
