Thanks to the efforts of a prominent Jewish businessman, a south Florida synagogue was recently compelled to call off an appearance by Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz that wouldn't have allowed someone to rebut the highly partisan chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Wasserman Schultz has been a staunch supporter of President Barack Obama and has aggressively been working to help get him re-elected. She was invited to speak at a May 25 service at Miami's Temple Israel by its Obama-aligned president, but that did not sit well with Stanley Tate, a personal friend and supporter of Mitt Romney.
"I proceeded to call the president of the temple, and I objected to it," he accounts. "I told him I didn't feel it belongs in the house of worship."
When the temple president refused to reconsider, Tate resigned from the temple, where he had been a member for more than 60 years.
"My resignation created a major upheaval in the temple," he reports. "A large number of the members by far agreed with my position. I'm not even sure what happened, but eventually, the president of the temple came out with an announcement that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was not going to speak at the temple."
And that did not go over well with the DNC chair, according to Tate. "She gave a press release saying that free speech was denied her," he details. "I never even responded to her. Obviously, she was mad, to say the least."

...are you guys in Florida going to re-elect this woman?
Really?
REALLY?
Another day in Obamaland. :(:(:(:(:(
“She gave a press release saying that free speech was denied her,”
Hey, Blabbermouth, have you also heard of freedom of association? Maybe people do not want to listen to your hate filled spew. Go back to Lawn Guyland.
I wonder how long that Rabi liberal president will last?
Debbie Blabbermouth is not one of them.
‘Freedom of speech means freedom from interference, suppression or punitive action by the government—and nothing else. It does not mean the right to demand the financial support or the material means to express your views at the expense of other men who may not wish to support you. Freedom of speech includes the freedom not to agree, not to listen and not to support one’s own antagonists. A “right” does not include the material implementation of that right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by one’s own effort. Private citizens cannot use physical force or coercion; they cannot censor or suppress anyone’s views or publications. Only the government can do so. And censorship is a concept that pertains only to governmental action.’
-Ayn Rand
To that synagogue, she won’t go.
I cannot image any normal human being that would want to be screeched at by Debbie Syphilis-Test for any period of time ... I think waterboarding would be preferable.
Isn't supporting and working to get a Democrat president reelected a core component of the job description of any DNC chaircritter? Don't newspapers have editors any more?
As inept as she is, I'm sure glad she's not supporting the Republican candidate!
Why is the head of the DNC even allowed to speak about politics in a temple? We can’t have the head of the RNC speak at my Catholic church.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is no mentsh.
It is OK for dem-marxists to campaign from the pulpit of whatever house of worship. Move along, nothing to see here.
I would gladly pay not to have to listen to this mentally challenged piece of humanity.
