Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is the chair of the DNC. Since she came into the spotlight a few years ago, I've found her to be extreme in her rhetoric. But lately, she's gone into orbit with outrageous comments and blatant lies (a few of these are a bit older):
See Wasserman-Shultz deny unemployment has gone up since Obama was elected.
See Wasserman-Schultz blame Bush for the rise of Hamas
See (hear) Wasserman-Schultz call the GOP "anti-women."
See Wasserman-Schultz say that veterans that are assaulted because of their service are not "real victims."
Also, Wasserman-Schultz said:
1. She called Paul Ryan's medicare plan a "death trap for seniors."
2. Empathetic judges: Wasserman Schultz wants federal judges who can feel your painapparently upholding the Constitution is secondary. Diversity on the bench is critical. As practitioners, you need judges who get it! We need judges who understand what discrimination feels like. We need judges who understand what inequality feels like. We need judges who understand the subtleties of unfair treatment and who are willing to call it out when they see it.
3. Stated that including the military in hate crimes legislation was "belittling to blacks and jews."
4. Compared the Tea Party to Nazies: Wasserman Schultz held a small rally last year outside the office of Republican Allen West, denouncing the war hero who was running for the Florida congressional seat he eventually won. Explaining the difference between the expression of her First Amendment rights and Tea Party rallies, she said, I dont see any swastikas or any pictures of the President in black face or burned in effigy here. The difference between the way we express our First Amendment rights and the way Ive seen Tea Party extremistsRepublican Tea Party extremistsexpress their right is dramatically different.
5. Mommy, are you going to get shot: After Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Arizona, Wasserman Schultz used her daughters anxiety to score political points: After my daughter heard that, you know, Gabby had been shot, the first thing she asked me was, you know, Mommy, are you going to get shot? Does that mean you're going to get shot? But Mommy, Florida's going to pass an immigration law like Arizona and then people are going to be mad at you.
6. Defended taking Mitt Romney out of context on his "I like to fire people" comment, saying he "had an opportunity to be abundantly clear, and chose not to."
and here is the one that prompted the thread:
See Wasserman-Shultz strongly imply the Tea Party was at least "party responsible" for the Gabby Giffords shooting.
No Republican would ever get away with the comments she has made. She has got to be fired. Then again, I suppose having a nutbag like her can only help conservatives.
