DNC Chair Calls RNC ‘Crass’ For Partying in Face of Hurricane Isaac

TAMPA, Fla.— Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke out today against the Republican National Convention’s handling of Hurricane Isaac, which is causing havoc along the Gulf Coast. Wasserman Schultz said the RNC “could have taken things down a notch,” during their speeches.

“I think it probably was an example of their continued focus of winning at all costs,” Wasserman Schultz said.

While Wasserman Schultz said she gave the RNC credit for cancelling the first day to put safety first, she noted the parties of special interest groups still went on.

“The bashes were not cancelled [and] went on despite the fact that our state was getting hit with a hurricane and Tampa was still in the path of the storm,” Wasserman Schultz said.

Wasserman said even though the RNC was in a challenging situation of having a convention during a devastating storm, there are “other ways they could have handled it other than the path, the way they chose.”

When asked what she thought the RNC should have done, Wasserman Schultz told ABC News that the Republicans could have toned down their program, “certainly in the face of millions getting battered by a storm, they could have been less crass and been a little bit more muted.”

The DNC is crass for applauding Obama spending 5.3 Trillion dollars of our children/grandchildrens so he can look good.

And what about 4 years of Democrat partying while 10% of this nation can’t find work?

Is that crass too?

I went drinking last night (in NE Illinois). I suppose that I am “crass.” I really need to keep a closer eye on natural disasters, everywhere.

In other words, "They should have shut up with all those brilliantly-articulated viewpoints that we can't possibly counter in a million years no matter how many 'fact checkers' we slip some cash to."

I've never seen them this desperate. They're truly hysterical.

Puny owner of Earth’s economy:

Do not resist. You will be crushed.
Resistance is futile.
We are the conservative Borg.
You will be assimilated.

And do something about that hair. And those hips ....

I wonder if there will be any weather anywhere in the world during the DNC convention? Will they be so crass as to continue their funeral er... party then?

You just wait, Debbie Wasserman Shitz, how we are going to party the day after the election when we have pounded all of you lefties into the ground the night before.

Is far as I am concerned, Isaac fizzled. I know there was some flooding, but we’ve had flooding in all parts of the country. In the Pacific Northwest, heavy rains happen all the time.

Let’s all put on sack cloth and ashes until there are no more disasters anywhere in the world. No golfing either.

Not to mention the “First Family” taking 18 vacations a year while the rest of the country can’t hardly afford to go to a nearby lake for the weekend.

There's only one reason anyone would support these jerks, and that is they provide a means to get at our money.

Whenever I hear someone complaining that the republicans not 'reaching out' to this or that constituency what I understand them to mean is 'why do you make us associate with these idiots? Can't we just get our taxpayer subsidies from you?"

the media was really hoping this would have been a cat 5 and that is the sick part of all of this.

They would rather see people lose their homes, and lives so they can get ratings and not cover the convention.

My wife hardly ever watches the news and she saw a woman on CNN and my wife said the woman looks like she is about to freak out, she looks to pissed off.

These media turds are s pissed off that they had to cover this convention and had to be around some republicans, I mean a different opinion for them is a bad thing and cannot be tolerated

"DNC Chair Calls RNC ‘Crass’ For Partying in Face of Hurricane Isaac"

by extrapolation...

"DNC Chair Calls mayor Ray Nagin ‘Crass’ For Partying DURING Hurricane Katrina"
