Broward's U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, spoke this morning on MSNBC's "Meet the Press'' about the shooting in Arizona that wounded her close friend and colleague, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona. She said in the segment that she always has a law enforcement presence at her big constituent meetings.

"I think it needs to be a wake-up call for members who have treated their personal security in a cavalier way,'' Wasserman Schultz said.

She said "there are always officers present'' when she holds meetings in the district, to protect her staff, as well as herself and "the people in the room.''

Here are two clips from the show including her. At the end of the first clip, where the group talked about inflammatory political rhetoric, Wasserman Schultz said it needed to be "toned down.'' She referenced local radio personality Joyce Kaufman's comment that "we'll use bullets, if ballots don't work.''

Wasserman Schultz also mentioned, without ever saying Kaufman's name, that Kaufman nearly became a chief of staff. That was of course a reference to new U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, who selected Kaufman, but after a huge controversy, she changed her mind and gave the job back. Click here for a memory refresher on that, and West's subsequent promise that he would "bring this liberal, progressive, socialist agenda, this left-wing, vile, vicious despicable machine ... to its knees'' on the "battlefield'' in Washington, D.C.

Every single Conservative radio host I listen to encourages all to read the “Communist Manifesto.” /sarcasm

Like her former House comrade, Alan Grayson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a hardcore leftist Democrat and one of the most partisan Congresscritters around.

Both Schultz and Grayson are nothing but bigmouth a-holes who have created the heightened vitriol in recent years. After 8 years of attacks on Bush43, now that the shoe is on the other foot and the Dems are demanding a political ceasefire.

Floridians have voted Grayson out, now they need to do the same to Schultz.

Of course she’s going to do that. She hates talk radio. It should be obvious by now that some politicians are utterly untrustworthy.

People who use this event for political ends have no class, and little ethics.

I don’t see any complaints about left-wing vitriol, which occurs all the time.

DUmmies should worry more about the beast created by their own hand and less about "Tea Party Right Wingers"....

Suddenly Emanuel grabbed his steak knife and, as those who were there remeber it, shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table. "Dead!" he screamed.

After seeing the garbage from the left...I am beginning to think it’s just about time to start raising the rhetoric. Because I will NOT have some little blonde leftist bitch tell me to tone it down. Particularly not THAT one.

OTOH, when I think about her name...her rhetoric may be somehow appropriate.

The Libs on the Left need the stop all of their violent hate speech...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/1..._n_141595.html

“A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy,” — Obama, October 6, 2010

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”— Obama in July 2008

“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”— Barack Obama, September 2008

“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”— Obama to Latinos, October 2010

“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!” Obama on ACORN Mobs, March 2010 “We talk to these folks… so I know whose *** to kick.“ — Obama on the private sector, June 2010

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” - President Barack Obama”

“Argue with neighbors, Get in their face!,” - President Barack Obama”

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” - President Barack Obama”

“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry.” - President Barack Obama”

“Punish your enemies”- President Barack Obama”

“We talk to these folks… so I know whose *** to kick.“ - President Barack Obama”

“I’m itching for a fight.” - President Barack Obama”

“Hand-to-hand combat” - President Barack Obama”

WHO SAID, “WE KNOW IF THE POWER OF PERSUASION DOES NOT WORK, WE WILL USE THE PERSUASION OF POWER”?

WHO WAS IT WHO SAID, “WE REVERE MOA. WE KNOW THAT CHANGE COMES FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN”?

“Could these comments emmenating from the left, and those very close to OBama, have caused this derranged individual to act? Or, are these questions off of the table for the MSM?

All conservatives ask for is fairness in the media while they run helter-skelter, to-and-fro looking for someone to blame other than the shooter. “
