UPDATE: Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appears to have backed out of a scheduled appearance at a fundraiser hosted by an American Muslim leader who has been on the Federal Terrorist Watch List, according to a press release from her Republican opponent Joe Kaufman.
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is facing criticism for her upcoming appearance at a fundraiser hosted by an American Muslim leader who was placed on the Federal Terrorist Watch List.
Wasserman Schultz is set to keynote an annual fundraising dinner for EMERGE USA, a Muslim community group led by Khurrum Wahid, a controversial attorney with a track record of defending accused terrorists and associating with Muslim Brotherhood-backed groups.
Democrats and Republicans alike are wondering why Wasserman Schultz, described by the Jewish Daily Forward as a “proud Jewess,” would associate with Wahid.
Born in Pakistan, Wahid honed his legal chops post-9-11 when he started “representing immigrants detained for questioning in the wake of the terrorist attacks,” according to the Miami News Times. He also co-founded Florida Muslim Bar Association and serves as its current president.
Since 2004, Wahid has represented a man convicted of plotting a subway station bombing, as well as a Florida doctor who was sentenced for “conspiring to treat wounded al Qaeda militants,” the News Times reports.

According to a report by the Sunshine State News’ Kenric Ward, “Wahid has spoken at an event sponsored by the American arm of the South Asian Muslim Brotherhood (Jamaat-e-Islami) and the Islamic Circle of North America, an organization that has been connected to the financing of both al-Qaida and Hamas.”
One prominent Jewish Democrat told the Washington Free Beacon that Wasserman Schultz’s actions are troubling.
“I’m not sure how much money they will raise at this event, but there is no amount that is worth having the head of the Democratic Party associated with anyone who appears to have a soft spot for terrorism,” the Democrat said.
Wasserman Schultz’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Joe Kaufman, a Florida Republican who hopes to unseat Wasserman Schultz in November’s elections, told the Sunshine State News that the DNC chair has a “false pro-Israel persona.”
“Wasserman Schultz likes to flaunt her Jewish identity and false pro-Israel persona, but how can she begin to do so when the organization she will be addressing maintains staff who display animosity toward the Jewish state?” Kaufman told the paper.
The Democratic National Committee did not return multiple requests for comment.
--------------------------------------------------------- The insanity of a moonbat Liberal pandering to a terrorist for money who hates Israel. Is there anyone more disgusting and clinical that DWS? Suicidal lunatic.
The thing say’s she backed out. Maybe someone told her this wasn’t a good idea.
I am sure she couldn’t figure that out herself she isn’t smart enough.
Wrote the book on moon-batism.
How much more obvious does it need to get?
The left are in cahoots with our enemies.
From my point of view its inexplicable how anyone can carry water for the Mohammedans. Everything about the later is an antipathy to what is generally revered in this country. Even the dems have a common (albeit low bar) understanding and acceptance of what we’re about. If they’re wishes become reality they’d likely to be the first ‘eaten alive’. I cant decided whether they’re suicidal or just taking the opportunity to poke us in the eye (b/c they can). If the later then this can lead to NOTHING but disaster. Those acts motivated by hate/grudge/anger always wind up creating disaster. Just a look at our presidents action shows this to be true.
You’re using a nicer name for her than i do.
No one ever accuses the Republicans of being much smarter than the democraps.
When I was a young boy of 6 or 7, one of my cousins called someone a “dingbat”.
Unsure what exactly that was, and always wanting to learn new insults to use on my sisters, I asked my grandmother.
She was watching television at the time, and she pointed to the TV as Jackie ‘O Kennedy was talking.
That is a dingbat, she said.....Never forgot that.
Later on I added airhead and nutjob to Jackie’s descriptions, but those came naturally to the idiot princess of camelot (barf)
“Debbie Farbissoner Schultz”, moon at, capo, and useful infidel! She is morphing into “The face that launched a thousand lunches”, Helen Thomas....
I saw Mrs. Schultz on FoxNews defending high gas prices under 0bambi and attacking those same prices under Bush.
Someone needs to get her to stop putting her fingers in the electric sockets; it’s frying her brain.
How can someone so shrill and ugly be allowed to speak about anything?
I don’t think there is much there to fry.
