Amid charges that she is blatantly tipping the presidential primary scales in favor of Hillary Clinton, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is coming under fresh fire from progressives who want her removed from her post immediately.
The progressive advocacy group RootsAction said Tuesday that a 4-day-old petition calling for Ms. Wasserman Schultz's ouster had received 23,000 signatures. Ms. Wasserman Schultz's detractors argue that she has wounded the Democratic Party's credibility by essentially rigging the presidential primary process in favor of Mrs. Clinton.
"The head of one of the two big political parties in the United States is trying to manipulate the presidential election process by limiting direct debate and tilting the national party apparatus in favor of one candidate. This is unacceptable," RootsAction.org co-founder Norman Solomon said in a statement.
For months, the DNC - and Ms. Wasserman Schultz in particular - has faced charges that it wants to make the primary process as smooth as possible for Mrs. Clinton while limiting opportunities for other candidates such as Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont, a liberal favorite.
RootsAction and other critics say specifically that Ms. Wasserman Schultz has used the party's primary debate schedule to reduce media exposure for Mr. Sanders and the party's other presidential candidate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
The DNC is holding six official debates this primary season. Several of those have been held over weekends, when TV viewership typically is lower. The next debate is scheduled for Jan. 17, a Sunday.
"The results, thus far, have been bad from the perspective of Wasserman Schultz's own party, including domination of the media's extensive election coverage by the other big party. Another result has been reduced exposure for the Democratic candidate polling strongest against Republican rivals, Bernie Sanders," RootsAction co-founder Jeff Cohen said.

LOL hilarious..liberals think Debbie Downer isn’t Commie enough for them. Will they be digging up Mao and naming him DNC Chair
ain’t got anything to do with policy
Wallershitz is prettier’n Hillary and well

That implies some degree of beauty in Hillary and I must disagree.
Looks like some good comedy.
Carrot Top may be available as a replacement for Debbie Dumbass.
Funny is right!!
I can’t wait till the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd starts pooping on the reporters cars that are following Hillary around the country.
I dig a well,you dig an ocean
well played
Bye bye Deb. If you get hard up, let me know. I can break into my prepper supplies and send you a jar of mayo.
YIKES !!!
Calling Captain Obvious ... report to the DNC!
Affluenza Mom
ungh
I ran into carrot Top on the steps of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas last year. HE was so stoned I literally ran into him as he staggered down the steps.. Wasserman (isn’t that a test for syphilis) has the IQ of a carrot so they might be related.
a distinct possibility
I mention this not due to outrage, but as yet another example of a man who succeeded in this country not through connections, or good looks, or even talent or intelligence, but through the sole element of his own hard work and perseverance. I am not aware of anywhere else in the world that this happens but here.
My hat is off to you, Mr. Top.
Now please put your own hat on.
livin the dream...
