Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Accuses Republicans Of Being ‘Callous And Insensitive’ To Women

On CNN’s State of the Union today, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz continued to argue that the Republican party is waging a war on women with hardline policies on important social and health issues. Going down a whole laundry list of positions the GOP has taken on issues concerning women, Schultz concluded that the Republicans are being “callous and insensitive” towards women.

Candy Crowley brought up a statement from an RNC spokesperson suggesting that for the Democrats to be dropping the word “war” so casually when the United States is in an actual war, it essentially “borders on unpatriotic.” Crowley asked Schultz if referring to the issue as a “war” might be overstating it a little.

Schultz said she wanted to judge the Republican party based on what they’re saying, and she immediately recalled Senator Lisa Murkowski‘s comments that the Republicans are basically organizing an “attack” on women. She pointed to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker repealing the Equal Pay Act and attempts by Republican politicians to “redefine rape as forcible rape.” She ended by expressing her overall outrage at how the party as a whole is approaching women’s issues.

“The focus of the Republican party on turning back the clock for women really is something that’s unacceptable, and shows how callous and insensitive they are towards women’s priorities.”

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Accuses Republicans Of Being ‘Callous And Insensitive’ To Women

Yeah, but look at the damage she's done to women by masquerading as one.

[From The Deer Stand]

Someone should remind Debbie that it was the Democrats who created welfare and for over 40 years kept women and their families in rat-infested tenements with no hope to better their lives or to provide a better life for their children. That’s pretty “callous and insensitive” to women if you ask me.

The original plan called for Bill Maher to deliver the talking point, but he said "Republican are being 'Callous and Insensitive' to C#*ts"...they had to re-film it with Debbie...

What, for purposes of demonstration?

[Shadowstrike]

and I accuse DWS of not being an actual woman.

Let's see how this “logic” works. So according to Washer-Women, Republicans are “insensitive” to women.

One of the reasons she says this, of course, is Rush Limbaugh's use of the word “slut” to describe Sandra Fluke's imposition of her sex life into a Congressional hearing for political gain.

So labeling her so is part of why republicans are “insensitive” to women.

But at the very same moment in time, Obama gives the Muslim Brotherhood $1.5Billion. This is the same Muslim Brotherhood who, had Sandra Fluke's sex life had been a conversation on the “Muslim street,” would have buried her to the neck, and stoned her to death.

Repeal the Nineteenth Amendment and quit worrying about these issues.

DWS is guilty of thigh crimes and Ms.hairdemenors.

The rats War on Americans.

[righttackle44]

Well, I accuse Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of being a callus.

[cayuga]

Repeal the Nineteenth Amendment and quit worrying about these issues.

Might as well get rid of the 26th Amendment with it.

Lewis Grizard used to tell a story about when air conditioning came to the South. A woman called the local dealer and wanted to buy one. She was asked; “How many BTU?” Her reply; “Enough BTU to cool a BUTT the size of a TUB.”

...RNC spokesperson suggesting that for the Democrats to be dropping the word “war” so casually when the United States is in an actual war, it essentially “borders on unpatriotic.”...Debbie's stupid, but this kind of argument is almost as dumb - as Charles Krauthammer suggested on Fox last week, the best counterattack is to go on the offensive and hit the issue head-on - 'pubs are trying to talk about the irrationality and impossibiity of trying to cover non-essentials under an already bankrupt healthcare system, and 'rats can't follow the argument, ending up thinking 'pubs are waging war on women (and men too as it turns out, since they also use contraceptives).....

Hey Deb! Go fix your hair, stop off at the gym and work on that greasy butt, and on the way home pick me up a case of Heineken. Now scram!/s;)

What’s ‘Callous And Insensitive’ To Women Is Obama’s support of the muslim brotherhood.

Notice that they first lady of Syria doesn’t cover her head? It wasn’t required in Libya either. Egypt was one of the more moderate nations in the middle east.

Those women will all be covering their heads very soon because of obama’s actions (or inactions). The Taliban will be keeping women under their thumb in Afghanistan soon too.

Wasseman-Schultz is a real piece of work! Bethides that she has a lipth...O thit

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I’ll see your “callus” and raise you “a carbuncle on the backside of society” (Topaki, I believe)

[howlinhound]

Yes, we all remember the news reports about callous treatment of women by that high-profile Republican Bill Clinton - oh, wait..

[napscoordinator]

The thing I find interesting is that she is every where fighting for her candidate. Sure she does not say a thing I agree with, but she is out there fighting. Why does our Republican GOP head never fight like this? I never understood why our guys never fight for our side. I wish the Chairman was a bit more like her.

[winkadink]

These poor, poor, poor, capital D females are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mistreated. I am going to shed one tear for them everyday, if I remember.

[LibLieSlayer]
