[Sacha] Millstone acknowledged she was frustrated over how the Obama campaign was treating delegates who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and told a fellow delegate, in what she believed was a private e-mail exchange, that she was not sure she could vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention later this month.
The other delegate apparently filed a complaint with the state Democratic Party suggesting Millstone lose her status as a delegate.
Apparently the Political Director of Colorado’s Democratic Party, William Compton, took the suggestion very seriously and told Millstone via e-mail, “You are directed to come in to the Party Headquarters and explain your comments and why you should remain a national delegate…”
Millstone, who worked on the campaign for Hillary Clinton, considered the e-mail a threat.
I remember reading about something that happened not too long ago that sounds just like that. Oh, what the hell was it called again? Oh yeah, the Red Scare!
The irony here is that I’m sure nobody involved in that exchange realizes how Communist that all sounds.
