What the f*ck is Ron Fournier doing moderating a Democratic National Committee chair debate?
The third DNC Future Forum, which will take place in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, February 4 at Wayne State University Community Arts Auditorium, will be moderated by Ron Fournier of Crain’s Detroit Business.
Ours is a self-loathing party, refusing to treat this asshole like the idiotic right-wing hack that he is. He’s a guy wooed by John McCain to work on staff, and who has incessantly pushed Democrats to cut Social Security and Medicare. Fournier thinks Obama’s problem is that he didn’t “lead” (by which he means “engage with Republicans” enough), and once wrote that Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor had to explain, during her confirmation hearings, why she “[looked] different than every other family-loving American".
How about his love for Third Way, or his outright inability to grasp simple concepts like “filibuster reform,” betraying his utter shallowness and stupidity. Oh, and if that wasn’t making the case enough, how about this?
There is no reason Fournier should be anywhere near any DNC chair debate. He must be replaced immediately.
And if existing candidates want an easy excuse to stand out from the crowd, here it is. Call for a moderator change or threaten to sit this one out. Major kudos to whoever does that.
