Why did almost half of the DNC audience boo adding God and Jerusalem to the party platform?
Do you think the average American supports booing God?

God despising Democrats appeared to be more vocal that the YEAs and the video is viral.
That Obama wanted the reference - originally in the 2008 platform - removed, they were forced to put it back.
And the DNC degraded from there, culminating in Bill Clinton's speech where facts were nowhere in evidence.

That is amazingly screwed up.
God wasn't in question in church, but in politics.
In this country we aren't a theocracy, no matter how much the Republicans want to change that.
While in theory I do believe Jerusalem is a single city not to be turned over to the Arabs or some multicultural government, since that never works, I can see where as a diplomatic statement that might hamper things in the future.
I have a lot of faith in God, more I suppose than most, and I don't think He's worried about whether or not He gets a mention in a party platform.

Actually the vote was done around 7 PM and half the people had already left. (Check out the video when they pull the camera back and do a wide angle shot. Look at all the empty seats.) The fix was in on this, There is no way 2/3rds voiced a positive vote yet that is the way they called it. They need the Jewish vote and threw them a bone, just like Obama threw a bone to the gays and another to the Hispanics. Except the Jews are too smart and are not fooled by this.

Two thirds of them passed the changes, and almost half booed?
Well, half the republicans listening to Romney at his convention didn't know whether to boo or cheer him when he started talking about Obama. Maybe they didn't have their teleprompters?

Open your eyes, your ears and your mind and accept the fact that the majority voted against adding the words God and Jerusalem out of the platform. In what other form of government those two words will be banished? People wake-up.

Because half the audience knew that the DNC was caving in to FOX-fueled
GOP peer pressure. It was ridiculous. Galileo is turning over in his grave.

No... But we believe in freedom of religion and separation of church and state. The Republican use God to gather votes and we should never stoop to their level.
