DNC's Wasserman Schultz Calls Republicans 'Callous' Toward Women
By Morgan Little April 8, 2012
Reporting from Washington Democratic efforts to frame recent Republican policies and right-wing statements as part of a larger war on women led by the GOP took another step Sunday. On CNNs State of the Union, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz portrayed Republicans as turning back the clock for women.
Gov. [Scott] Walkerjust signed a bill that repeals the equal pay law that they had in Wisconsin for years, she said to host Candy Crowley. You have Republicans that have engaged themselves for the entire Congress on trying to redefine rape as only being forceful rape, defunding Planned Parenthood and family planning programs.
Wasserman Schultzs remarks, in which she also called the GOP "callous and insensitive," follow Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus response Thursday to allegations of a war on women on Bloomberg TV.
If the Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars, and mainstream media outlets talked about the fact Republicans have a war on caterpillars, then we have problems with caterpillars, Priebus said.
Female voters have been a focal point for the Democratic Party since a string of controversies this year, from the aforementioned fights over Planned Parenthoods funding, the provision of contraceptives by religions organizations to Rush Limbaughs disparaging comments toward Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke after she spoke to the House of Representatives.

It could be just you Deb.
She then went on to a DNC event hosted by the Hip Hop industry called: Better livin’ for hos and bitches.
And to think that Justice Thomas will be totally unaware of this development. (Lucky, and smart, man)
All those Republicans at Augusta Country Club have ZER0 regard for women like her.
Democracks started this “war” on women.
Can’t say war on terror,but war on women well,that’s ok.
Yeah Dums,you make a lot of sense.
Aww, WassaMatta Schultz? Can’t talk past that tongue in your mouth? Say it, don’t spray it babe.
I don’t know where this ditz comes up with this stuff. More Republican men than DemocRAT men ARE MARRIED TO WOMEN!
When you need whine to go with a losing argument, just call Debbie Syphilis-Test .... she’ll just whine and whine and whine until she wears you out. Sorta like the Food Stamp President’s filibuster answers to unanticipated/unscripted questions.
What has Wasserman Schultz done for men?
They just want the media to pick up on this stuff even if false. The public hears the headline and that’s how they shape public opinion.
Repubs are racist, sexist, homophobes....yawn.
Pray for America
Just curious, but how many dead baby girls in the dumpsters because of Republicans?
Few, aside from Romney.
I still say if you turned Debbie Downer upside-Down, she’d make a fairly decent toilet brush
Still haven’t figured out what Debbie’s gender is.
