Clinton supporter Debbie Wasserman Shultz disgraces herself on The Stephanie Miller show

[jgraz]

http://www.stephaniemiller.com/bits/2008_0307_schultz.mp3

The saddest thing about the Hillary's win-at-all-costs strategy is the number of formerly respectable Democrats that she's forcing to "Colin Powell" themselves for her twisted ambitions.

First she somehow convinced Stephanie Tubbs Jones to engage in a disgusting bit of race-baiting, saying on national television that Somalia is Barack Obama's "native country". Now we get Debbie Wasserman Shultz misquoting Martin Luther King, Jr. to justify seating the Florida delegates and going on to parrot Hillary's "McCain Strategy", fawning over John McCain at Barack Obama's expense.

It's just pitiful.

[casus belli]

1. More of the same.

Nothing's shocking, to quote a kick ass record.

[kitkat65]

110. Idiots Rule!

[anonymous171]

2. W.....T....... F

:wtf: That's all I can say right now. What is she thinking!?!?!

[OzarkDem]

6. Yeah, Stephanie Tubbs Jones is such a racist

:sarcasm:

Nevermind the fact that she's black.

[anonymous171]

8. Who said anything about being racist?

She was trying to paint him as some kind of foreigner though, which is playing to American xenophobia.

[goclark]

65. You can be Black and be a racist

Tubbs is not a racist in my view and I happen to be African American.

She is being loyal to her friend Hillary, no problem there.

Not sure she was correct in that being his native clothing, but I may be wrong.

I sincerely don't believe that she is a racist but I do understand why she is a friend of Hillary's.

She represents, " Birds of A Feather Sticking Together."

She is power mad and would step on her Mother at this point to get Hillary elected.

That is what she is doing ~ there is no limit to what she wouldn't do to be in the Cabinet or whatever HC wants to give her for her cheer leading efforts.

[Nedsdag]

104. Her own district went for Obama.

What's her explanation for that?

[roguevalley]

95. I saw the native land remark. she looked demented, hollering it

through when the host was trying to sign off with her. I think she was so wound up, she would have said anything at that moment. what a totally odd and disappointing thing to watch.

[laugle]

107. My husband and I love your doggy pictures, please

post more........we need some smiles around here......thanks

[roguevalley]

109. that is my Tippy. A miniature dachshund who would sit up, hug you

around the neck, follow you EVERYWHERE, he is my angel. I will find more. :)

[MrCoffee]

3. Shultz is a fuckwit for mishandling DK's impeachment resolution.

[OzarkDem]

4. Yeah, strong women expressing intelligent points of view is a disgrace

its so offensive to all you "iron my shirt" Democrats. Why don't you go find a nice dumb right wing woman, or maybe some of those "foreign" mail order brides. I'm sure they'll be much more appealing to your fragile male ego.

[anonymous171]

5. What's with you and sexism today?

Every other post accuses someone of sexism. "Fragile Male ego"? I think someone has a fragile ego in general...

[OzarkDem]

9. It's cropping up like crabgrass on this forum

and I'm calling it out as I see it. Get used to it.

[anonymous171]

12. Same with stupidity

And I'm calling it out as I see it too. Get Used to it.

[OzarkDem]

17. Don't make sexist remarks

and you won't have to worry about me getting on your case.

Try seeing if you can make your argument without insulting Clinton as a woman. And remember, the Democratic Party is the women's party.

[anonymous171]

20. I think people have been making arguments against her w/o attacking her as a woman.

[Kittycat]

26. I'm a woman, a democrat - and you're full of shit.

There was nothing sexist posted. Apparently calling ANY supporter of clinton out for their words is now sexist?

Fuck off.

[jgraz]

39. I think someone is off her meds

Time to get Uncle/Brother to fire up the still.

[OzarkDem]

55. More sexism, freeper style

why don't you guys just cave into your deepest desires and go hang out over there instead of trashing up DU?

Let your inner bigot hang out.

[jgraz]

62. Actually, I was making fun of your intellect and parentage

You should really learn to tell the difference. I'm guessing you get lots of opportunities to practice.

[OzarkDem]

70. Shame you can't discuss the issues

which is why I don't respect you.

[Kittycat]

83. You never discuss issues. All you do is attack.

Crawl back in to the sewer with your republican candidate.

[OzarkDem]

50. Attacking Clinton because she's a woman

calling her bitch, etc. holding her to a double standard are all sexist.

No, not every woman Dem has the guts to stand up against it in our party but most of us do. You choose to be a doormat in the party, that's your choice.

[Kittycat]

84. All she's doing is promoting the republicans.

And thinking about 2012. The only change she'll bring to washington is in her bank account.

[blonndee]

111. She wants this woman to be a doormat to her triangulating, Bush-lite

policies. BE AFRAID! No, thank you. This "woman Dem" can stand up to Hillary and her pathetic record and tactics. I'm no doormat, but thanks for the false characterization.

[apocalypsehow]

34. Absurd nonsense.

n/t.

[JackORoses]

41. It's must be so limiting to live in a world where everything is sexist.

You don't care too much for males, do you?

[jgraz]

58. It's got to be easier than accepting that people don't like you because you're a hopeless loser.

[americanstranger]

80. then why don't you wander over to the Randi Rhodes thread

and slap some sense into the Clinton supporters who are trashing Randi?

Or is calling a strong, professional woman with strong opinions a 'pissy drunk' because they disagree with Clinton acceptable in the feminist world?

A little consistency would be nice. thanks.

- as

[americanstranger]

94. ** Crickets. **

Why am I not surprised?

- as

[jgraz]

98. Got a link? I'd certainly be happy to defend Randi

[apocalypsehow]

32. That's all the HRC boosters have left: baseless ad hominem attacks, and other logical fallacies.

n/t.

[rodeodance]

42. YOU DESCRIBE THE OP EXACTLY. shameful!

[jgraz]

54. Uh oh. Somebody's found the caps lock

Still haven't figure out how to include content with your nonsensical subject lines, though.

[rodeodance]

61. you still have reading comprehension problems I see.

16. What do you think of this strong woman's views?

Gov. Katheryn Sebelius, (D-KS)

“Sen. Clinton and her campaign surrogates keep deriding Sen. Obama’s wins in red states by saying that her victories in the ‘big states’ are the ones that matter,” Sebelius said. “The right Democrat, like Barack Obama, can carry red states, just like the 14 Democratic governors elected in states won by George Bush in 2004. We can’t tell people their votes don’t matter and then expect their support against John McCain in November. Sen. Obama is reaching to independents and Republicans because they desperately want to change our politics. I hope Sen. Clinton will follow his lead and stop dismissing Democrats that don’t live in New York or California.”

[OzarkDem]

23. Some women gain power on their own

apparently Gov. Sebelius feels her advantage is in aligning herself with men.

She's been such a leader of women already, hasn't she? Wait, no I guess she hasn't.

[anonymous171]

27. lol. I was waiting for you to say that. Alliance with men?

How is Hillary's MARRIAGE to Bill Clinton NOT an alliance with men? She's been riding on his experience since the start of her campaign.

[OzarkDem]

40. She's standing on her own in this race

and of course that makes some women feel jealous and threatened.

I also don't recall seeing Clinton aligning herself with her husband to smear and attack another Dem woman running for office. Its not her style.

[JackORoses]

47. she's standing on Bill's shoulders

She claims his Presidency as her own.

She is no Independent woman, that's for sure.

[OzarkDem]

60. yeah, yeah, yeah

tell it to your Obama friends, they'll believe you.

[JackORoses]

90. would we have ever heard of Hillary Rodham? No.

but Hillary Clinton, everybody knows her.

[jgraz]

99. To be fair, we probably would have

She'd just be Hillary Rodham McCain or Hillary Rodham Frist or Hillary Rodham Romney.

[JackORoses]

101. your probably right. She would have found a springboard one way or another.

[anonymous171]

51. She is not standing on her own.

She runs on Bill Clinton's record and you know and everyone here knows it. Minus the eight years she spent giving speeches and fucking up any chance we had at reforming the Health Care system, she has even less experience than Obama.

[Gore1FL]

72. She used Bill to attack another man

isn't that about 100% more analogous?

Sebelius seems to be comfortable to make decisions based on other things besides gender. Why is that a bad thing, again?

[anigbrowl]

31. Now that IS sexist

How do you think she got to be governor?

[NMMatt]

18. The Hillary campaign revealed its hostility toward women by forcing one of the best foreign policy

Minds of our generation to resign over saying something off the record, which happened to be true. Her true colors have shown. She could care less about women and only her own power grab.

[lligrd]

19. There is Something Seriously Wrong With You

and it has nothing to do with your sex. Friggen get over whatever happened to you to view everything that occurs in the world as a personal attack on your sexuality. Nobody here cares about your vagina.

[anigbrowl]

24. Politicians lying and ducking questions is what's disgraceful

I really don't give a shit what gender she is and I don't think her point of view is intelligent.

She blamed Republicans for forcing the date on Florida, but the legislation was introduced by a democrat and the legislature voted for it almost unanimously. It was not some glorious Florida Democratic last stand against a GOP bill.

[Shakespeare]

44. Being too stupid to know that America is Obama's NATIVE country is expressing an intelligent POV?

Wow, color me surprised.

[mudesi]

46. There was ZERO sexism in that OP (nm)

[JimGinPA]

59. "iron my shirt" Democrats? You Mean Those Mentally Challenged Guys Set Up By Shock Jocks?

Apparently even they have a higher intellect than you. You're just sad.

[jgraz]

69. And likely coordinated with the Clinton campaign

[Yael]

85. Here I was going to congratulate you on using "racist" instead of "sexist"

I thought you were improving your vocabulary.

Then I saw the second post.

Oh well.

[femmedem]

97. I'm a woman, I alert frequently on the sexist posts I read on DU.

But I'm not seeing it here. And I'm not understanding why, in this post of all posts, you're accusing the OP of wanting a mail order bride.

You're not representing your candidate well.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. Stephanie Tubbs Jones has always been sort of a weirdo

Nobody needs to instruct her to say bizarre, dumb things.

She's been doing it for years without any assistance.

[OzarkDem]

13. I was waiting for some fool to say that

:rofl:

[LisaM]

14. How did Hillary convince Tubbs-Jones to say Somalia was Obama's native country?

Tubbs-Jones clearly misspoke, but I'm interested in how her error was made at Hillary's behest.

I can't listen to Stephanie Miller anymore, but if she treated her guest the way she treats other Hillary callers, I can only imagine what happened.

[NYCGirl]

45. She missspoke THREE TIMES? That's not a misspeak. That's deliberate. NT

[LisaM]

48. But what I asked you was, how did Hillary "convince" her to do it?

Which was asserted.

[NYCGirl]

63. You don't think the surrogates are briefed before appearances? NT

[LisaM]

71. I do not think Hillary (or anyone connected with her campaign)

TOLD Stephanie Tubbs-Jones to go out and say that Obama's native country was Somalia.

[NYCGirl]

75. So then she thought of that POS on her own, then. NT

[LisaM]

81. Why do you have to swear at me? I'm just answering what I think.

I wonder if St. Obama would like it. POS, the F word, on and on and on.

I have no idea why Tubbs-Jones said what she did, but I am quite sure that Hillary did not DIRECT her to say it, and I'm equally sure that Tubbs-Jones may have mentioned the wrong country but knows full well that Obama wasn't born there. But if you think that she is a piece of shit, I encourage you to call her congressional office and share your wisdom.

[NYCGirl]

103. I didn't say she was a piece of shit, but what she said was a piece of shit.

And it was not a "misspeak."

[jlake]

15. I'll add Debbie Wasserman Shultz to the list of great Democrats now serving as speed bumps

to the Obama Express!

[k8conant]

35. Yes, with all her talk about Hillary's great experience in "public life"...

she is committing suicide by being a "speed bump".

[MrCoffee]

38. I wouldn't put Shultz on any list of "great Democrats"

[jlake]

53. Well, she is one of the great icons of the party to me.

[jgraz]

88. I've always liked her, and Tubbs-Jones has been one of my heroes since the 2000 fight

It's sad to see them humiliate themselves in the service of such a dishonorable woman.

[jlake]

89. STJ is simply amazing.... and I think you're being too hard on both of them - and Hilly.

STJ & DWS are not humiliating themselves and Hillary is not dishonorable.

:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[jgraz]

92. Watch that video of STJ and tell me what the hell she is thinking

I hate to say it, but I was reminded of Jack Kingston and his allegations that Obama won't say the pledge.

[jgraz]

78. I love that imagery

Hillary conning her acolytes into lying down in front of the Obama steamroller. :rofl:

Thanks, I'll be smiling about that one all day.

[latinolatteliberal]

21. Colin Powell

I like that use of his name. I think I'll start using it.

[jgraz]

73. Isn't that exactly what's happening?

welcome to du :hi:

[latinolatteliberal]

79. Thanks!

glad to be here

[Malikshah]

22. When this miscreant won't even talk about impeachment w/ her

constituents...

It's time she's called out for what she is. A blow-hard Lieberman wannabe.

They voted you into office Debbie! They can talk w/ you about whatever they damn well want to!

BTW-- Don't think we don't know that you're in it with Thurman, Nelson and the others in the "leadership" of the FL Dem Party...

For shame!

[MrCoffee]

29. HELL YES!!! Shame on you, Rep. Shultz!

She's completely shirking her duities as member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

[seafan]

28. Debbie "Impeachment would divide Congress" Wasserman Schultz is NOT a progressive democrat.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2235562">Did anyone else hear Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz on WINZ (Miami) this morning?, November 8, 2007

33. How many congresscritters have signed onto the impeachment proposal?

67. 26 is the last I read.

[rodeodance]

82. so --the over 400 others are all in the same camp as her? silly

[rodeodance]

30. oh my god---so now HRC "forces" people!! This post is sick!

[madfloridian]

36. I have seen each of her FL superdelegates shame themselves

and act like they have one mission. Hillary or bust.

They are ruining our state's chances of a fair election.

I can not watch Hillary on TV anymore. We turn the channel. There is a nastiness in her tone now and it is carrying over to her SDs here.

[rodeodance]

77. I do not throw good Dems under ..just because they support Obama.

[madfloridian]

93. It is how they are needlessly dividing our state.

I am fed up, and I am tired of the lies.

[rodeodance]

37. my god--how many good Democrats are you going to push under!! Shame on you!

[OzarkDem]

43. Maybe the OP isn't a Dem

[rodeodance]

52. i think you are right. Shameful of a Democrat to post such hate!

[jefferson_dem]

57. Maybe Wasserman-Schultz is not a Democrat.

:shrug:

She seems to be part of the "install Hillary at whatever cost" DINO cabal. Fuck her!

[rodeodance]

64. and maybe you are not a Democrat--when you are so willing to let yourself get duped!

[jefferson_dem]

68. Duped? Is this what Hillary supporters do?

You are the second one in this sub-thread to challenge the party loyalty of a fellow DUer who happens to call out Hillary and her henchwoman Wasserman-Schultz for their bullshit.

Go ahead and bow at their alter, and celebrate their endorsements of McCain. Listen to the clip and you tell me who's being duped.

At the very least, Wasserman-Schultz is a liar. Obama served for eight years in the state legislature.

[rodeodance]

76. I asked a question--not accusing you of anything at this point. nor do I . I am

appauled at the number of people who are willing to throw good dems under the bus just because they support HRC.

[KAZ]

91. Shame on you"! Everybody drink!

[rodeodance]

[Yael]

86. When do we get to the point that her campaign quits surprising us

with the depths that they will sink to?

Is there a floor?

[jgraz]

87. When I said in December that once Hillary starts losing, there really is no bottom for her

I was referring to her popular support, not her tactics.

But it is really getting sad -- it's like watching someone throw up in front of you.

[Pachamama]

96. What a disgraceful shill she was....I screamed at the radio when she started mouthing off about why

Clinton was more qualified and then she spit out the usual talking points from the Clinton campaign and when asked about qualifications, she suggested that Obama would be only aided by a Manual in what to do in the White House....

It was plain wrong....here she is supposed to be representing Floridians in the issue around their votes counting (that means all Floridians) and then the next thing you know, she's showing her true intentions and feelings which is Hillary Clinton at all costs.....

[IndianaGreen]

100. Our "girl" McClinton is the Great Polarizer, isn't she?

As much as I despise the corrupt and unprincipled Clintons, the last thing I want to see is the Democratic Convention in Denver turn into a free-for-all as it happened in Chicago in 1968. The gods know that we can ill afford another four years of Republican rule.

[OwnedByFerrets]

102. It was actually disgraceful and embarrassing...nt

[zulchzulu]

105. Stephanie was very nice to her as Debbie lied like a Clinton ever could

Wasserman-Shultz kept deducting how many years Obama was in the Senate by the interview so that he only was in the Illinois state Senate for two years. Last I checked, 8 years is six fingers more than 2.

The only way anyone can support Hillary at this point is to lie.

[KoKo]

106. did either Obama or Wasserman-Schultz march with Martin Luther King?

:eyes: Should we expect either of them to quote with "perfection?"

[jgraz]

108. Obama is smart enough to know that you don't misquote Dr. King to suit your own ambitions

Apparently Clinton and Wasserman-Schultz have yet to figure that out.
