A Miami synagogue recently canceled DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's planned speech about "Maintaining a Strong U.S.-Israel Relationship" at a Friday night religious service after an influential Republican member of the congregation, Stanley Tate, resigned.
The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel published an editorial shortly after the incident decrying the temple's "stifling" of Wasserman Schultz's speech and criticizing the synagogue for "advanc[ing] the voices of intolerance." What the editorial board of the Sun-Sentinel failed to tell its readers was that Mr. Tate had not wanted Schultz's speech muffled, but had merely asked for equal time for rebuttal and to have the entire discussion moved to a venue other than in the sanctuary during a religious service. It was a plea to his congregation of 70 years (whose Joni & Stanley Tate Early Childhood Center bears his family's name) not to endorse or give even an appearance of religious endorsement of Wasserman Schultz's political speech, and by extension a religious endorsement of President Obama and the Democratic Party's 2012 election campaign message.
There is an irony in this church-state "speech stifling or speech endorsement" incident, because Debbie Wasserman Schultz was involved in another "church-state" "speech stifling or speech endorsement" issue in Florida almost ten years earlier -- an incident which the Sun-Sentinel characterized as a "nationwide controversy" but which received only eleven lines in the local section of the paper, buried within minutiae about local school board officials and a local judge's political ad.
In the summer of 2004 -- the same summer that Floridians were experiencing the devastating effects of Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne, then Florida Democratic State Senator Wasserman Schultz had picked a fight with Governor Jeb Bush over the First Amendment, "separation of church and state," and what Wasserman Schultz complained was a "hurtful and offensive" display of

... and she gets her hair done by a 220 volt outlet.
To be constitutionally ignorant and politically tone-deaf is a requirement to run for public office on the Democratic Party ticket.
DWS is guilty of Thigh Crimes.
She is just a megaphone for who wants to blovicate on their side. Rush has it right “Blapper” is her gift.
Beware of women with three names.
Writing an article on the ignorance of DWS is sort of like writing an article on the heat of the Sun.
Thigh crimes and we demean her.
Only much, much longer...
La nozzle de douche.
I think you mean beware of women with three names when two of those names are last names....after all, we don’t wanna short the beautiful Southern belles who sport Ronda Sue or Betty Ann or Thelma Lou or...well you get the idea...
She’s stupid, loud, and ugly. Even the RATS are distancing themselves from her.
DWS seems pretty mean, in general, so I’d go with Ms. da mean’er.
“Beware of women with three names.”
As you may or may not already know, my wife and I very recently adopted two children:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2886877/posts
Our new daughter wanted to keep her last name, Lindsey, as a middle name, which was perfectly fine with us. I have told the lawyer repeatedly, I do not want to see her new name hyphenated as Amber Lindsey-Agee.
He assures me that he will send the way I want it to Springfield (Illinois). Knowing that bunch of liberals running the state capitol, I’m sure they will think it’s real cool to hyphenate. As sure as they do, I will be back in court again for another name change.
Our lawyer has already told us that it can take the state up to a year to send us new birth certificates for them.
I have lived in Illinois for over 40 years and have come to hate state government, now that the adoption is over we will be looking in Missouri for real estate, we may join you in Missouri’s Ozarks but are thinking more along the lines of somewhere in the bootheel of the state, lot’s of relatives there, including my 91 year old mother.
I’m beginning to think that Debbie Syphilis-Test is after Slow Joe’s job. I think they locked away in a closet or mental institution for a couple of months, but she must have been let out recently.
How about John Kerry-Heinz?
Ah, did you forget, butt-ooogully to boot?
