Well, they didn’t really vote to add it back it. After THREE tries LA Mayor and convention Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa just claims it passed when it clearly didn’t.
The best part (aside from super awkward Villaraigosa moments) is the man and women with the “Arab American Democrats” sign rather strenuously disagreeing with the vote…
…Democrats 2012: Yay abortion! Boo God!..
[Ace added:]
…this is the document the delegates drafted. Just as it was widely broadcast that the Republicans that the no-exceptions policy was encoded into their platform, so should it be widely-broadcast that the Democrats’ platform, until this illegal and sham procedure, was officially an agnostic or atheist document.
These are the facts. They should be noted. The public can decide what it thinks about these facts.

Evidently, some bright light at the DNC understood what this platform would mean for their chances for victory in November…

Yesterday Drew wrote about the “Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To” video that kicked off this week’s freakshow in Charlotte.
Surprising exactly no one, Team Obama is disclaiming association with the video and throwing the Charlotte host committee under the bus.
“The video in question was produced and paid for by the host committee of the city of Charlotte. It’s neither an OFA nor a DNC video, despite what the Romney campaign is claiming. It’s time for them to find a new target for their faux outrage.”...

‘Best weather of the entire week’: Local meteorologist puzzled by Obama speech move
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The chief meteorologist at a Charlotte television station is questioning the decision by Democrats to move President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention to a smaller venue because of the weather.
“Thursday night will likely be the best weather of the entire week,” Brad Panovich of WCNC-NBC TV wrote on Twitter in reference to when Obama’s speech was planned to take place at the outside Bank of America stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people.
The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday announced that the weather is forcing them to relocate Obama’s speech to the Time Warner Cable Arena, which is inside and holds a far fewer 22,000 people…

On how many levels is this just totally messed up?! So,
– “we have no papers”
(ie: we cannot prove or document that we are residents of this nation);-“we have no fear”
(ie: that you, the American people, can do a thing to us or about it);– and “we’re on a journey for justice” -??
Justice, as in…?…what? We are here to FIGHT for our rights to all of the benefits associated with being a citizen of this nation? We want/demand/and will get exactly what you (citizens of the USA) get, because,….we want and deserve it?
I don’t understand. What “justice” is this journey about? You’re here illegally, or at least some of you are, in the greatest nation on earth. Your children get a world-class education for free, you have access to jobs, welfare benefits, medical care, tax refunds (whether you paid any income taxes or not), + a host of other things – but you’re not from here, your first act upon getting here was to break our law – and now you’re on a journey for justice??
? huh ?
My nation has lost its mind.

@mattklewis But not till someone came out and told the speechless Villagarosa to hold a third vote. Guess he never got a Chicago primer.@Beregond 5:07pm via TweetDeck
Someone had to come out and tell Villagarosa to hold the third vote. Guess he’s not up on Chicago-style machine politics. #DNC2012@Beregond 5:06pm via TweetDeck
#DNC2012 Villagarosa held a THIRD vote to insert God and add Jerusalem to platform. It STILL lost but he ruled otherwise.@Beregond 5:05pm via TweetDeck

Update 3: DNC’s Wasserman Schultz, Gaspard cancel interviews amid platform debacle
Democratic National Committee chiefs Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Gaspard cancelled interviews with local media outlets tonight, amid controversy surrounding the party’s decision to reintroduce “God” and “Jerusalem” to the platform.
Jon Ralston, host of the Las Vegas-based “Face To Face” news program, told POLITICO that he was sitting in the chair waiting for a 2:45 p.m. PT (5:45 p.m. ET) interview with Gaspard when he was told that his guest had cancelled, without explanation…

Update 4: Democrats Undemocratically Bring Back God and Jerusalem
There’s nothing like trying to reinsert language about God and Jerusalem that you removed and then tried to put back to fix your broken image, only to be booed by your own delegates who clearly aren’t fans of either God or Jerusalem… to show the country what you really stand for…
Charles Krauthammer notes language is missing that would isolate Hamas, address the 1967 borders and the Right of Return. The Right Scoop has the video.
Update 5: The morning after, DaTechGuy writes, and MSM wants to pretend none of this ever happened.
