Democrats tell Chris Christie to 'shut up before people actually get hurt'

The Democratic National Committee on Monday attacked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and told him to "sit down and shut up" after comments Christie made about vaccinations.

DNC communications director Mo Elleithee made the remarks in an email statement titled "Christie dons his tinfoil hat on vaccinations" that accused the governor of going after the "anti-vaccination vote."

"Chris Christie isn't a scientist. He isn't a doctor. And he sure as heck isn't a leader. If his campaign is going to be about kissing up to the radical, conspiracy theory base that's wagging the dog of today's Republican Party, that's up to him and his cracker-jack team," Elleithee wrote.

Christie, who is expected to run for president in 2016, sparked a firestorm with comments he made during a trip to London on Monday in which he stressed parents should have " some measure of choice" when deciding whether to vaccinate their children.

5. My fear is that this is going to become another partisan issue.

Yes, there are anti-vaxxers on our side also, but the whole thing is a perfect fit for Libertarian (Republicans who don't want to be called Republican) philosophy and it can even be spun as populist (keep your hands off of our bodies, etc.).

God help us if the Republicans make it into a partisan issue for political purposes.
