DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) appeared on the season premiere of HBO's "Real Time" with host Bill Maher this Friday.

In the Overtime portion of the show, which is broadcasted and available only on the internet, Wasserman Schultz got into race politics, claiming the Democratic Party is the "natural home" for minorities.

Wasserman Schultz says minorities feel "comfortable" because the Democratic Party stands up for "the issues that matter to those communities and Republicans shun them." Transcript below.

Imagine if a Republican had said that. The MSM, Maher included, would be all over calling Republicans racists.

2010 was the first time this creature had an opponent.

Karen Harrington (owns 3 restaurants named Rickie’s) got nearly 25k votes, to her 40k. Which is not bad for purple gerry-mandered Broward county FL, where I live.

I’m in this thing’s district.

Sure, the party of slavery, Jim Crowe laws, segregation.

That party, right Debbie?

I find this piggy’s “natural home” comment racist and insulting in so many ways. Buy hey! I’m not a “minority” so it’s none of my business. If her “minorities” don’t mind her talking like that, I’m cool with it too.

[Carthego delenda est]

Dang! Did I try? Did I miss? Eeeeeeww!

[originalbuckeye]

Yes. The Dems and Big Media constantly reinforce the idea that the Dems are the best for minorities. Our side treats everyone equally. We have the same expectations of minorities as we have of ourselves. When minorities realize that the Republican party respects all people maybe we can compete for their support. Until then they will continue to buy into the false premise that the Dems are their protectors and providers. They just need to wake up and want respect not patronization.

Dear Debbie Dimbulb,

My ancestry is mixed and I refuse to be a member of your statist gulag. Keep the “Change.”

[Bullish]

Sure, the party of slavery, Jim Crowe laws, segregation. That party, right Debbie?

Oh, and how could I forget... The party of the Ku Klux clan.

Do people like Debbie Wutsername even know ANY history at all, or do they just make it up as they go along?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Meanwhile if you read many of Dems tweets on twitter, you will see them trash blacks, hispanics, and Jews constantly..yeah party for minorities my ASS. Hey Debbie, keep talking you dumb B*tch

The Dem party has always kept minorities enslaved and on the “plantation”. Many black conservatives have written and spoken eloquently about this.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I dont even think Laz would hit that.What a nasty vermin she is.

[Lazlo in PA]

I would love and take that bacon grease in her hair and face and fry some chicken in it.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Welcome to the New Plantation. Meet your white liberal overseers. Just act helpless.

[musicman]

I wish Karen good luck.

I’m in Volusia County, Daytona Beach area.

VERY dem “oriented”......

[llandres]

How I’d LOVE to see her go up against even ONE of our brilliant black conservatives - that might shut up her big, loud mouth.

[Anti-Hillary]

She is a trollop of the highest echelon. May a thousand fleas infest her armpits!
