Susan Estrich

The Estrich quotation can be found here. As noted it's flagrant revisionism, Brazile was forced to quit because she repeated a rumor with no underlying basis. Ellsworth 21:45, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

If you delete the characterization of Estrich's remarks, please state why it is not flagrant historical revisionism. A characterization is not inherently removable is POV if it's accurate, is it? Ellsworth 20:27, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I'll go with User:JCarriker's edit on historical revisionism - adding that Brazile's own account differs, see Cooking With Grease (her autobio.) Ellsworth 23:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Comments regarding a possible 2008 Al Gore candidacy

I removed this section because it is unsourced and, in my view, harmful to the article. The article is, of course, about a living person. See Misplaced Pages:Citing_sources#Tagging_unsourced_material for recommended best practices. Jerimee 20:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Frightening Thought That a Person That Biased Is Teaching in Colleges

Given the stunning ideological bias of Donna Brazile, it is frightening to think that she is "teaching" kids and conveying to them her view of life in terms of gender and racial oppression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.153.18 (talk) 03:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Brazile supports Obama?

I removed statements that Brazile secretly harbors "contempous feelings" toward the Clintons and supports Obama. The source provided is an alleged email correspondence from a Hillary supporter's blog. Assuming this is a reliable source, Brazile simply does not say she supports Obama or that she would not support Clinton. She explicitly states "If I make a decision to go with Obama" (emphasis mine). Casting her comments as an endorsement is simply POV and SYN. Queerudite (talk) 14:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I think there does need to be a section about current controversies concerning Brazile's statements from this election as well as here animosity towards some supporters. There does need to be a clear and reliable reference source for this but it is true that Ms. Brazile has made statements recently that have become a part of her biographical story. Perhaps this should be handled encyclopedicaly but I think it should be included.--Amadscientist (talk) 09:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Huffington Post just had an article which used an e-mail from Brazile. However it did not include the ENTIRE e-mail. We shall see this play out soon enough as this is getting media attention and coverage of statements is good enough at this point to add to this page. I will however wait for the full story to hit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.62.180.166 (talk) 08:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

"equating Atheism to Terrorism"

I'm deleting this as the source quoted doesn't have her saying anything even remotely close to that.

Here's what I heard from the Video (Second video on page, first doesn't even have her appearing.

"You know Wolf, there are alot of believers, I'm one of them, and there are people out there who just don't believe int he existence of a god, and I don't know why because uh clearly there is strong evidence of - we - we there is a god, But I believe that you serve all the people not just those who profess to have faith, but those who have little or no faith, that's how you convert them."

While I find that last sentence somewhat disturbing, nothing in it or the rest of what she says is equating atheism to terrorism or even anything negative at all. If My ears somehow fed me a completely different audio than the video, go ahead and revert my changes, but thats word for word what I heard her say. Nar Matteru (talk) 17:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Date of Birth?

There has just been a change of her year of birth, moving it from 1959 to 1958.

Neither her personal webpage, nor CNN's webpage have the year, in fact they seem to be copies of each other. However, there is a USA Today webpage (http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/e1861.htm) which says 1959. This is however a badly formatted page, seemingly orphaned but still containing her DOB.

Is this a good enough source quote as authorative?

Sherrod Affair

Maureen Downd's op-ed piece in today's NYT says, "t was Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist, who, after hearing the entire speech, pushed to get it out and helped clear Sherrod’s reputation on CNN."  Is this worth mentioning if it's correct? Kdammers (talk) 10:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Carville was Clinton's Lead Campaign Adviser, Not Brazile

She only served as one of his advisers. I saw the documentary about his campaign, The War Room, and the movie showed he was definately in charge of Clinton's campaign. Many different sources also say his main campaign staff members were George Stephanopolous, James Carville and Paul Begala.71.63.233.66 (talk) 23:11, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
