I am saddened by the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party, once again yanking defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sadly I do not see this as a Hillary v Obama issue, though Hillary supporters seem to want to make it that. This is about standing up for the principles that our Party supposedly so believes in. There is no need to bring Hillary into this. The Party should be rallying around Obama, circling the wagons, but he is being left alone. Instead a complex issue is being trivialized to make cheap political points.

What good is it to embrace the principles of free speech, unity and equality when it is so easy to run away from those priciples when things get uncomfortable? The Democratic Party was given an opportunity to come out against the politics of personal destruction and guilt by association, but it has failed.
