Wasserman Schultz won't join protest of Netanyahu speech

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/wasserman-schultz-wont-join-protest-of-netanyahu-speech/2216620

I would love to say I am surprised, but I am not. This woman is doing little to nothign to defend left leaning people in her owjn state, or throughout the nation, but cozies up to Netanyahu. I bet she is just hoping Hillary wins as Hillary and Netanyahu are friends. Well Debbie, if you lose Florida in 2016, Hillary will stop being your BB4L, and make you a fine scapegoat.

But her alligience was found lacking.

Wasserman Schultz initially supported Hillary Clinton rather than Obama in the 2008 presidential race. However, Dovere reported that, if Clinton is the Democratic nominee in 2016, she would most likely replace Wasserman Schultz. He attributed this to lasting animosity over the fact Wasserman Schultz allegedly reached out to Obama in 2008 and expressed her willingness to back him before Clinton officially ended her campaign.

If the GOP were not subhuman animals, there is no way I would vote for this woman. If Debbie Wasserman Schulz is not enough of a sycophant to please you, no one is.

So not only is he seekign revenge over 2008, he is dividing the Democrats against each other, so that the GOP can contuinue to mutate into the fasicst wing and the outright crazy tea party. Joy.

Bill, Ito quote a Gregg Allman song, I am really tired of you stealing our diamonds and then saying "well, I brought ya back some Gold."

occupy space in the Democrat Party where they worked to take over the Party that was not yet in the clutches of Wall St.

The DLC now morphed into the Third Way because they got such a bad name under their previous title, has taken over the leadership of the Democratic Party. Debbie is one of them. And that is why Progressive candidates do not get the support of the DNC when they run against Third Way candidates. In fact they don't get the support when they run against Republicans, like Christie. They are left to fend for themselves with no financial backing from their own party. Ask the Blue State, NJ Dem Candidate, Buono.

She was on one of the M$NBC evening talk shows (sorry, cant remember -maybe Rachel). She was spouting Dem talking points but she used personal degrading remarks toward some republican senators who opposed her viewpoints. I wondered why she had to use this tactic to get her point across. I remember thinking why the hell wasn't Howard Dean the chairman instead of her.

She went on to say that before she arrived at the event, she was watching a segment on MSNBC that presented a “panoramic view of the results of the war in Gaza” from a “Palestinian perspective.”

“Clearly they were highlighting what is Israel had done to Gaza and the plight to Palestinians, and my first thought was, ‘Where is the balance? Where is the spotlight on what Jewish children in Israel go through from being victims of rocket attacks?’” she continued.


http://www.mediaite.com/online/debbie-wasserman-schultz-tries-to-walk-back-comments-on-jewish-intermarriage/

Democratic National Committee chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is now trying to walk back comments she made against the “problem” of intermarriage of Jewish people with gentiles.

“We have the problem of assimilation. We have the problem of intermarriage,” said in leaked audio obtained last week by Shark Tank blog. “We have the problem that too many generations of Jews don’t realize the importance of our institutions strengthening our community — particularly with the rise of anti-Semitism and global intolerance.”

I suspected it last year when she contributed absolutely nothing to the election. After the election, she went on air to say "we" could have done more. And this is just additional proof. Get her ass out of there. She is a traitor to the democratic party. Someone needs to do a thorough background check on her. There's something awfully fishy here.

She picked for the head of the Florida Democratic Party somebody who along w/
her husband had worked at DBT which was the company that purged over 50,000
black voters from the voter rolls in 2,000 which made the election close enough
for W to steal it. And now that person is head Chair of the Florida Dems thanx to
DWS?

I think in Ohio we have some "sleeper cells" inside the state dem party too.
