Annoying Democrats

I honestly don't know who I find more annoying:
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she is “disappointed in the use of that imagery” with regards to a controversial fundraising email sent by Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson that compared the tea party to the Ku Klux Klan.
“Obviously I am disappointed in the use of that imagery. Both sides need to dial back that kind of rhetoric and look to bring more civility into politics,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.
However, Wasserman Schultz stopped short of calling upon Grayson (D-Fla.) to discontinue to use the email, which was sent Monday to supporters and included a burning cross depticting the “T” in Tea Party.

Alan Grayson has a safer district now, so he can probably get away with this hyper-polarizing shit, unlike in his first stint in office when he was crushed like a helpless bug in one of the biggest routs in congressional history. He couldn't even crack 40% as an incumbent in his own district because he had all the political instincts of Donald Trump.
And then there is DWS who can't bring herself to denounce the email but also can't refrain from criticizing a colleague. Here's some advice: choose one. Either call for civility or point out that, if the Tea Party doesn't want to be compared to the Ku Klux Klan, then they can stop waving the Confederate Flag on Sasha and Malia's front lawn.
