Wasserman-Schultz admits being an idiotic liar [Reader Post]

Loading

Debbie Downer, aka Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, was interviewed by John Roberts on Fox News Sunday. Roberts asked her about the Priorites USA ad that implies that Mitt Romney caused a woman to die from cancer.

In the ad Joe Soptic says

“When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care, and my family lost their health care,” Soptic says in the minute-long spot. “And a short time after that, my wife became ill . . . she passed away in 22 days.”

There you go. Mitt Romney killed her.

Never mind that Romney left Bain in 1999. Never mind that Bain was run by Obama donor Jonathan Lavine at the time of the closing. Never mind that Bain offered Soptic a buyout. Never mind that Soptic’s wife had her own insurance. Never mind that Soptic’s wife was diagnosed with cancer six years after GST Steel was closed.

Never mind all that.

Debbie Downer claimed that she didn’t know to which political party Priorities USA belonged.

The transcipt

ROBERTS: Should the Democrats be releasing an ad that accuses a presidential candidate, through inference, of being responsible for a woman’s death?

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: First of all, that’s a Priorities USA ad. That’s not a Democratic ad; it’s a Priorities USA Super PAC ad.

ROBERTS: Do you deny that they’re Democrats?

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: I have no idea the political affiliation of folks who are associated with that Super PAC.

What a difference a day makes. Today she admits to being a lousy liar.

“Soledad, of course I know the Priorities USA super PAC is a Democratic-affiliated super PAC,” Wasserman Schultz said. “But the point I was trying to make was that…”

And the rest is completely irrelevant. Over at Powerline, John Hinderaker nails it

This is pretty hilarious; as usual, the Democrats have no intention of appealing to anyone other than the ignorant.

The political lives of democrats depend on it.

“Soledad, of course I know the Priorities USA super PAC is a Democratic-affiliated super PAC,” Wasserman Schultz said. “But the point I was trying to make was that ad was produced by a separate organization, an organization that we don’t coordinate with, that we have nothing to do with.”

I would think there would be a lot more appreciation for a statement that could have come straight out of the republican playbook.

Complain about lies……point the finger.

Is the photoshopped picture the type of honesty you strive for?

Answer – Yes.

@Greg:

She lied. That’s the point.

@Brian Miller:

Is the photoshopped picture the type of honesty you strive for?

I am not claiming it’s not photoshopped. That’s the difference. But golly does it ever capture her essence.

@drjohn:

“I don’t claim to not lie, by golly, when I lie” Is that really your justification? think about it.

“She lied. That’s the point.” “blah blah blah….essence.” says the flaming hypocrite

Reminds of the time Wasserman-Schultz said that if it was left up to the Republican candidates, “they would have us driving foreign cars.” This woman is so stupid that she didn’t realize that a simple check at the DMV would show that she drives (wait for it, you know it’s coming) an Infiniti, a foreign car made in Japan.

What an embarassment that woman is. But the Democrats are not concerned with truthfulness. Any lie will do.

This is why Obama harps on the teachers union and controlling the children in school for longer and longer hours of their lives.
If the children were learning valuable things, it would still be wrong to want to keep them away from their families more than 12 hours a day 12 months of the year.

“In all seriousness, I think schools should be open 12, 13, 14 hours a day, seven days a week, 11-12 months of the year,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.

But they are NOT learning valuable things.
Teachers’ union members (aka: teachers) berate their students for knowing FACTS about how our government works, including the right to be critical of Obama.
These ”teachers” push agenda-driven ”lessons” on their charges.
Like forcing them to parrot slogans on the streets.
Like making them sing propaganda songs about Obama.
Even if these children are learning anything of true value at school, the moral equivalence of the truth juxtaposed with all the propaganda leaves the student unsure what is worthwhile.

@Brian Miller: Photoshopped? That’s the way I see her everytime she shows her face.

@Brian Miller: I haven’t lied about anything, Brian. She has. Repeatedly.

@Brian Miller: It really is a great picture though, isn’t it, Brian?

Brian Miller, do you know the brand of salad dressing she uses on her hair?

I have to say she has the lying down pat….even does it with a straight face too….well mostly with a straight face….

So sad that she and others of her kind prey on the ignorance of others for her paycheck and congressional office….how ‘does’ she live with herself? Oh, Right..

@Nan G: And do not forget attend Democrat and Union rallies in Madison WI!

But everyone is missing the most important point: It took the right-wing’s use of a liberal media source—Democracy Now!—to get at the truth of the matter. Maybe they should use these kinds of sources more often—they’d surely be more truthful.

I seem to remember, a few years ago, when caricatures of George Bush were routinely flaunted by the Liberal/Progressive crowds. Did they ever show the president with crossed eyes? Yes, they did; actually, they promoted those images so often, that many people assumed he had crossed eyes. It’s a very unusual eye problem among fighter pilots, but no one has ever accused a Liberal voter of being a critical thinker.

@Skookum: Conservatives, doing the same stuff liberals do, but in a more righteous manner, got it.

@#16 – No…She ‘really’ ‘really’ IS a Liar….Not a liberal “made up straw man liar” either… umm…she got CAUGHT in a LIE… Her credibility really, really IS in the dumpster…

“doing the same stuff liberals do” – Right Brian – no need to go into details… we have had to bear witness to, and live with the Liberal/progressive propaganda, rhetoric, lies, parroting, straw men, talking points, hypocrisy, petty b/s whining and listen to indoctrinated sheeple’s for way too long….

So, thank you for proving to us we have been ‘right’ about liberals/progressives and the left all along… by finally admitting to [all of the above] it!! – Including your lying friend “Debbie W”

I realize it is out of character for Conservatives to mock Liberals and Progressives, but your hypocrisy and phony indignation falls on deaf ears. For the Libs and Progs have lost any pretense of civility from us; however, our message requires a certain cerebral ability to comprehend, therein lies the difference. We rely on caricatures to emphasize the comedic aspect of one of your leaders caught up in a flagrant lie: in contrast to the Liberal Progressive reliance on caricatures for the message itself. Sadly, with the demographic you cultivate, this type of illustration is the common denominator, meant to bring forth their best efforts at commentary, the one-liner with swear words for emphasis and direction. Yes, Liberalism attracts an erudite crowd of nose pickers. We read the articles and commentary and we understand the need for the literate among them to come to our sites to find meaningful commentary. Like the man running in circles in a silo looking for a corner to piss in, your foolish taunts and meaningless counterpoints are an exercise in futility. You see we don’t rely on semi-literate cretins for a demographic

@Skookum: “I realize it is out of character for Conservatives to mock Liberals and Progressives…..Liberalism attracts an erudite crowd of nose pickers.”

Know theyself, self-awareness must not be very important to intellectual giants like yourself.

Still see the knuckle dragging “progressive” trolls inhabiting this web site. Alinskyite trash.

@Brian Miller: It’s not photoshopped, her hair is really that bad.

@Brian Miller: You said:

Know theyself, self-awareness must not be very important to intellectual giants like yourself.

*yawn*

You fall back on that argument quite a lot, Mr. Miller.

I suppose it is easier than actual critical thinking, so therefore I can understand why you rely on it.

“anticsrocks says:

Miller has mastered the cut and paste techniques on his computer, for that alone, he is to be commended; however, to be lost in a pointless forest without a point of view must be discouraging, but take heart, it is one of the qualifying factors for becoming a Progressive.

Perhaps our floundering troll has humiliated himself to the point of parroting others and being unable to even write nonsense. Why do they send us these intellectual midgets?

@Brian Miller:

You display a staggering amount of projection and massive lack of self introspection. Then again, when your goal is spew hatred against others in order to avoid that introspection and to feel good about yourself, it’s to be expected.

Skook, brian will be back. He enjoys being a bigot and actually thinks he’s winning. At this point even Charlie Sheen would be telling him he needs to stop.

@Hard Right: “At this point even Charlie Sheen would be telling him he needs to stop.”

And yet it is you, kinda revealing, ain’t it?

I like reading your posts, I am not afraid or challenged by them. I enjoy the exchange of information. But then, I’m not the one crying about trolls…..

@Skookum: “You fall back on that argument quite a lot….
I suppose it is easier than actual critical thinking, so therefore I can understand why you rely on it.”
Don’t even recognize yourself looking in a mirror, do you?.

What a waste of time, this cretin has nothing to offer and interacting with him is like throwing proverbial pearls to swine.

@Skook: “Liberalism attracts an erudite crowd of nose pickers. …..come to our sites to find meaningful commentary” “Perhaps our floundering troll has humiliated himself to the point of parroting others and being unable to even write nonsense. Why do they send us these intellectual midgets?”

Yeah, I guess I could get all sophisticated like you’ll and call you a nose picket, but I ain’t smart enough to rise to that level of intellectual discourse, shucks, not like you. I comment on the article, you comment on me, and I’m the troll, ’cause you bite? I use your words because of what they show, they confirm my view.

@Skookum: Skook, they send the best they have!

I can’t stand her lies she spit on the PEOPLE , SHE SPEAK FOR OBAMA’S AGENDA,
THEY ALL DO LIKE ROBOTS PROGRAMMED TO SAY THOSE LIES,
THEY TRY TO FOOLED SOME, BUT THEY DON’T FOOLED ALL THE PEOPLE.
THIS TIME IS ENOUGH, the only one they appeal to now,
are the ignorant, and the other who are corrupt by their propaganda which have inhibit their minds and rendered it so weak, they will take anything THEY SAY FOR A TRUTH

@Skook:

Yes, his debate tactics were obviously created by Einstein or Churchill.
To paraphrase them:
Nuh-uh. I know what you are, but what am I? And his other favorite, “You’re crazy”.
Such a genius.

Much of the credit for the legal framework for PACs accepting unlimited amounts of money is given to Republican attorney James Bopp, Jr. He fought 30 years and filed 21 cases to eliminate limits on campaign spending, and to keep donor lists private.

@Brian Miller: Do you have any info on what the Obama campaign raised in 2008: where they got it from and what it totaled? I’ve always been curious and assume you may know, or know where to find the information. (Just a question–not part of the “in-progess” argument…

@Nathan Blue: I don’t know, so often answering questions on here unrelated to the article. And then once I answer, no response, weird. Anyway, I’ve seen figures like $750 million. But with all the under the counter money, secret funds, etc. who knows. Almost is enough to make a person wish for public campaign finance laws and more regulations forcing disclosure.

@Nathan Blue:
Remember Monir Edwan, of GA?
Edwan’s contributions, totaled $24,321.41. All to Obama the candidate.
That’s not only over the legal limit*, but much worse…..Edwin happens to be from GAZA, not Georgia!
http://donordata.org/search.php
You may have to put in his name to get the whole total.

*
Federal Campaign Finance Law places legal limits on how much and what you can give.
$2,500 per Election to a Federal candidate — Each primary, runoff, and general election counts as a separate election.

@Nan G: The Wall Street Journal reported it spoke to Obama officials who said the Monir Edwan donations were returned. The Obama campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.

It would be better if there were strong regulations and penalties in place.

@Brian Miller: At least we can agree upon the out of control campaign spending. It’s always been an issue, but Obama’s campaign raised the bar to a new level and it’s becoming the new norm.

@Nathan Blue: Hey Nathan, do you have any information on how much money W Bush raised and spent during his runs? And who it came from? The donordata sight kinda bumps right over W. And seeing as how concerned you were…..maybe you know?

@Brian Miller: Obama’s camp disconnected a fail safe system built into credit card purchases.
That way many illegal donations could sneak in under the radar.
IF that ONE Gazan’s cash was ”returned” how many others’ were not?
And how do you return donations made in the name of “Adolf Hitler,” “Osama bin Laden,” “Mickey Mouse”or others.
And what about all the many folks whose cards were charged fraudulently?
Many, many unwilling donors came forward accusing the Obama’s campaign of charging donations to their bank accounts,debit and credit cards without authorization — which is illegal.
Was it all returned?
Couldn’t be. Wasn’t.

PS:
Ryan is live on Fox in ~ a minute.

@Brian Miller: Not sure what you’re talking about, or what Bush has to do with anything, but here’s some data:

Combined spending from Bush and Kerry in 2004: $646.7 million
Obama spending alone in 2008: $740.6 million

Numbers are take from Bloomberg here: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=anLDS9WWPQW8
There’s lots of good, objective data in this article and is worth the read.

Ummm, I wonder if Obama ever returned DooDad Pro’s donations, seeing as how old DooDad was from Pakistan.

@Nathan Blue, #41:

Romney’s fund raising goal for the 2012 presidential campaign is $800 million.

@Greg: Makes sense to me. It is a response to Obama’s record of $740.6 million. He proved the White House has a price tag. When you win an election on fanfare and exploitation of the poor and ignorant, this is the expected backlash…

@Nathan Blue: “Do you have any info on what the Obama campaign raised in 2008: where they got it from and what it totaled? I’ve always been curious and assume you may know, or know where to find the information. (Just a question–not part of the “in-progess” argument… ”
….. but then here you are with your own anwers…

Now Nathen, why did you ask me for the info on Obama’s funds, pretending that it wasn’t connected to this argument, and now here you are with all the info already and recommending an article that has everything in it you asked me to provide…….. Very curious. Were you being deceitful?

Do you justify the deceit with -When you win an election on fanfare and exploitation of the poor and ignorant, this is the expected backlash…

With regard fund raising (and dog whistles) looks like Obama cannot sink lower than he did in an email.
I have long since deleted my many-times daily emails from the Obama camp….too much like spam with a hate-mail twist.
But many others are toughing it out.
And this ”gem” came on Monday:

Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands’ Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who’s already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.

That’s the same Sheldon Adelson who gave $15 million to help Newt Gingrich against Mitt Romney in the primary, and said he may give $100 million — basically, whatever it costs — to defeat Barack Obama.

We’re starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick. Before Ryan’s even been fully introduced to the American people, he’s attending a private fundraiser in Vegas with the top super PAC donor.

We’re doing this differently, with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford — but it’s going to take a lot more of us to match them. Will you donate $3 or more today?

So, Adelson is a Jew.
Ryan is a Catholic.
Catch the religious mockery?
And the filthy-loaded language designed to appeal to anti-Semites?
Pretty easy to see if you were raised secularly but told you have enough Jewish blood to be sent to the ovens.
This email is the lowest thing I have seen so far this election cycle….and that’s saying something!

@Nan G: “Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands’ Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who’s already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.”

Really? This is the lowest thing you’ve seen……and somehow YOU connect it to the Holocaust…?

@Nan G:

No, Nan, a new low was reached by Joe Biden today. He was in Dansville, Virginia that has a 48.6% black population. He told them:

“Romney wants to let the – he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks again write their own rules – unchain Wall Street.” Then in Low Joe’s best imitation of a Southern drawl he said to his mostly black audience:
They gonna put y’all back in chains.”

Playing the race card, which is standard fare for Democrats, is below low. It is lower than whale crap. It is shameful and dishonest. And now Obama’s campaign henchmen/women are defending what Biden said and will not offer any apology. It is not bad enough that Biden insults Southerners with a fake drawl, but then he tells his black audience that Romney and Ryan (they) want to reinstate slavery.

That is the lowest of all political tricks.

Oh, yeah, and then the crazy old fool, who should have been farmed out long ago, told his Virginia audience “We can win North Carolina again.”
Seems Crazy Uncle Joe doesn’t know where he is.

@retire05:
Sheesh!
You’re probably right.
That is one of the more despicable things I’ve ever heard said on a campaign trail.
Do you think it sunk in on his audience that he, a RICH OLD WHITE man, was playing the ”race” card on them?

@Nan G:

I have thought for a while that this is going to be the nastiest campaign we have seen since Andrew Jackson ran for office, at least on the Democrat side.

Ryan is being slammed for being Catholic (in a steath kind of way) but wait………Joe Biden’s also Catholic.

Ryan is being slammed for never having any experience in the private sector but wait………….Joe Biden worked as a lawyer for less than one year when he ran for his first office.

Ryan is being slammed for being a career politician but wait……………..Joe Biden has been in the Senate since 1973 and ran for that office in 1972, just two years after passing the bar. And what “private” sector experience does Obama have?

Oh, and someone needs to send Debbie Wasserman Shultz a memo:

Never let ’em see you sweat, honey.

Seems Wolf Blitzer didn’t play her game and took her to the wood shed over her statements about Ryan. I’ll tell you, Nan, it was a thing of beauty.
