DNC Chair Says Giffords Shooting Tea Party’s Fault
Investor;s Business Daily ^ | January 12, 2012 | IBD staff

Posted on 01/12/2012 5:12:35 PM PST by raptor22

Politics: The DNC's chairwoman, a champion of Occupy Wall Street, once again associates the tragedy in Tucson with an end to civil discourse caused by the grass-roots Tea Party movement. Has she no shame?

There she goes again. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla, head of the Democratic National Committee and the "Debbie Downer" of American politics, has repeated the canard that somehow the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., a year ago at a Tucson event is somehow linked to hatred spawned by the Tea Party.

"We need to make sure that we tone things down, particularly in light of the Tucson tragedy from a year ago, where my very good friend, Gabby Giffords — who is doing really well, by the way — (was shot)," Wasserman Schultz said at an event hosted by the New England Council and New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

Having brought up the Giffords attack as a political bludgeon, Wasserman Schultz provided an example: "You had town hall meetings that (the Tea Party) tried to take over, and you saw some of their conduct at those town hall meetings. When they come and disagree with you, you're not just wrong, you're the enemy."

On Jan. 3 in Iowa for the caucuses, Wasserman Schultz had kinder words for the Occupy Wall Street crowd. "I have talked to Occupy Wall Street folks over the last few months; I've been publicly supportive of them. I think that they are well within their rights to be frustrated." But not the "angry mobs" of the Tea Party movement whose rhetoric promotes violence.

Is there any possibility that Ms. Blabbermouth could be related to Ron Paul?

Debbie Schultz needs a Wasserman. That test is for a disease that can eat away a person’s brain causing the invected person to become an imbecile. I do believe it is what caused Alphonse Capone to loose his mental acuity.

The shooter was a left wing nutjob who was pissed at Gifford for not being liberal enough. Most recently he was pissed at her for not voting for pelosi as minority leader.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz makes Howard Dean and rabid bats look normal in comparison. Surely something has to twinge when this Dem-party attack animal talks about cooling down the rhetoric - right?

None whatsoever. That the Democrats would select this rabid, lying sociopath to speak for the party tells volumes about Democrats in general.

As I'm told the Canadian's say: "Nooowwww doooubttt about it".

The Dems could have, with equal justification, blamed the shooting on Tom Cruise or the Rolling Stones. They picked the Tea Party instead. Wonder of wonders.

To: Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric
Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

When they walk Gabrielle Giffords out at the 2012 Democrat National Convention for a photo-op Debbie Wasserman will be inside the podium digging her nail into Gabby’s leg to get a tear for the camera.

Whatever it takes.
