DNC Chair Refuses To Back Iran Deal

By Al Weaver, July 22, 2015 Daily Caller

Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz decided against supporting the Iran nuclear deal Monday as President Barack Obama seeks to get Democrats on board to back the agreement.

The Florida congresswoman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that while there is some “merit” to the deal, there is also “a legitimate cause for concern” that needs to be looked at with the deal. Wasserman Schultz, who is Jewish, pointed out that she is from a “pro-Israel district” and needs to hear her constituents out before offering her support one way or another.

NBC Host: Democrats Are The Only One Talking About Impeachment

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
By Brendan Bordelon, Aug. 1, 2014, Dailycaller.com

 NBC reporter Chuck Todd needled Debbie Wasserman Schultz over the Democratic National Committee’s relentless fundraising on the issue of President Obama’s possible impeachment, asking if she has “any qualms” about the strategy since “frankly, the only people talking about impeachment are Democrats.”

 The Florida congresswoman appeared on Todd’s “Daily Rundown” Friday morning to discuss the House’s chances of passing a border bill before going on vacation. Todd took that opportunity ask the DNC chair about her fundraising strategy going into the midterm elections.

 “Do you have any qualms about raising money off of the idea of impeachment when Speaker Boehner says it’s off the table, that this is drumming up the process?” the NBC reporter asked. “Do you feel like you’re overtalking about it, that — you know, frankly, the only people talking about impeachment this week are Democrats, not Republicans.”

 “Oh, that isn’t true, Chuck!” Wasserman Schultz protested, claiming that Republican House Speaker John Boehner “can’t control his conference” and “isn’t even Speaker — Ted Cruz is Speaker!”

 “It’s Republicans that haven’t taken it off the table,” she asserted. “We know that the [House] lawsuit [against Obama] is a prelude to impeachment, or it was passed off the House floor just to appease his very large number of members that want us to pursue impeachment.”

Five Decades Of Lies Help Dems Create Monolithic Black Vote By Larry Elder

April 10, 2014 Black Vote , Debbie Wasserman Schultz 1 Comments
By Larry Elder, Apr. 11, 2014

As recently as 1956, nearly 39 percent of blacks voted Republican in that year's presidential election. After the Civil War, Abe Lincoln's Republican Party easily carried the black vote -- where blacks were allowed to vote. Unwelcome in the Democratic Party, most blacks voted Republican and continued to do so through the early part of the 20th century. It wasn't until 1948, when 77 percent of the black vote went to Harry Truman, who had desegregated the military, that a majority of blacks identified themselves as Democrats.

Yet, as a percentage of the party, more Republicans voted for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Democrats. For his key role breaking the Democrats' filibuster and getting the act to pass the stalled Senate, Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen, a conservative from Illinois, landed on the cover of Time magazine. President Lyndon Johnson called Dirksen "the hero of the nation." The Chicago Defender, then the country's largest black daily newspaper, applauded Dirksen's "generalship" for helping to successfully push through the bill.

Older black voters sometimes explain they're opposed to Republicans because of the "racist" Southern strategy. But Richard Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchannan, credited with inventing the "Southern strategy," considered the Democratic Party the party of the racists. Buchanan said: "We would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states' rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the 'party of [Democratic Georgia Gov. Lester] Maddox, [1966 Democratic challenger against Spiro Agnew for Maryland governor George] Mahoney and [Democratic Alabama Gov. George] Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.'"

But before that, another pivotal event occurred that helped the GOP-as-racist meme. In 1960, during the presidential campaign, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested following a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter in Atlanta. Hundreds of other protestors were released, but King was jailed on a trumped-up probation violation for failing to have a Georgia driver's license.

King's aides reached out to then-Vice President and Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon. They also reached out to the Democratic nominee, John F. Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy called the Atlanta judge handling the case. Shortly after that call, the judge released King. Nixon, according to Harry Belafonte, a King supporter, "did nothing." Is that true?

Nixon, it turns out, had a much closer relationship with King than did Kennedy. In the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, Calif., records show considerable handwritten notes and correspondence between Nixon and King. This includes a 1957 letter from King acknowledging their previous meetings, which thanked Nixon for his "assiduous labor and dauntless courage in seeking to make the Civil Rights Bill a reality," and praised him for his "devotion to the highest mandates of the moral law."
But in 1960, on the eve of the election, Nixon was in a tough spot. Nixon's public silence might be misconstrued as acceptance of King's arrest. On the other hand, as a candidate for his boss's job, Nixon worried about the political costs of appearing ungrateful if he chastised President Dwight Eisenhower for not taking stronger action. Eisenhower, however, was content to let the Justice Department handle the matter.

According to historian and presidential biographer Stephen Ambrose, while Nixon made no public comments, he telephoned Attorney General William Rogers to find out if King's constitutional rights were being infringed, thus opening the door for federal involvement. Nixon, a lawyer, was concerned about the ethics of calling a judge to get him to release someone.

Nixon, writes Ambrose, told his press secretary: "I think Dr. King is getting a bum rap. But despite my strong feelings in this respect, it would be completely improper for me or any other lawyer to call the judge. And Robert Kennedy should have known better than to do so." That Bobby Kennedy, also a lawyer, nevertheless made a phone call to the judge did not alter the issue of whether it was appropriate. In retrospect, an easy call, but not at the time.

Two million pamphlets titled, "'No Comment' Nixon Versus a Candidate With a Heart, Senator Kennedy," were distributed in black churches. Never mind that in 1956 Nixon revealed he was an honorary member of the NAACP. Or that Nixon pushed for passage of the '57 civil rights bill in the Senate. Or that Time magazine wrote that Nixon's support for civil rights incurred the wrath of one of his segregationist opponents, Sen. Richard Russell, D-Ga., who sarcastically called Nixon the NAACP's "most distinguished member."

But the GOP-is-racist meme can be heard nightly on MSNB-Hee Haw and in political science and history classes all over the country. Actor Morgan Freeman calls the tea party racist. Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., tells us that the GOP wants to "literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws."

Keeping blacks ignorant of history remains crucial to this caricature of the Republican Party -- and to the monolithic Democratic black vote. Not so black and white, is it?

The Elder Statement: Who was Republican Bill McCulloch -- And Why Did Jackie Kennedy Praise Him?

April 01, 2014 Bill McCulloch , Civil Rights Act of 1964 0 Comments

The late Lee Atwater, former Republican National Committee chair, apologized 30 years ago for the party’s past use of the race card.

Whether an apology was warranted -- or framed properly -- is for another debate. Atwater offered a mea culpa -- and still blacks vote 95 percent for Democrats.

Can we talk about jobs, education and job-destroying regulations, as well as our border insecurity that hurts domestic employment, especially for unskilled workers?

No, we can’t -- because these issues take a back seat in favor of the Democrat Party’s fight for “social justice” and for the battle against “income inequality.”

The GOP has been so successful maligned, discredited and condemned that many GOP haters, no matter their race, won’t be satisfied until they exhume Atwater’s body, perform an autopsy and try to isolate his racist DNA.

Has Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., or Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, current and past DNC chairs, respectively, ever said, “We’re sorry that Democrats founded the KKK, once known as the ‘terror wing of the Democratic Party’”?

No.

Have they apologized for their party's post-Civil War opposition -- lasting nearly 100 years -- to civil rights legislation, including their near-unanimous opposition to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution?

No.

The NAACP posthumously gave Sen. Everett Dirksen, R-Ill., an award for his leadership role in securing the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The nation’s then-largest black-owned newspaper, the Chicago Defender, saluted Dirksen’s “generalship” in securing the necessary votes. He received letters of thanks from Roy Wilkins, the longtime leader of the NAACP, and from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A forgotten Republican civil rights champion is Rep. Bill McCulloch, R-Ohio, then-chair of the House Judiciary Committee. When Jackie Kennedy, in 1971, learned of McCullough’s retirement, she wrote a letter praising this lawmaker whose district, by the way, had less than 3 percent black voters.

Jackie wrote: “I know that you, more than anyone, were responsible for the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. You made a personal commitment to President Kennedy in October 1963, against all the interests of your district. When he was gone, your personal integrity and character were such that you held to that commitment despite enormous pressure and political temptations not to do so. There were so many opportunities to sabotage the bill, without appearing to do so, but you never took them. On the contrary, you brought everyone else along with you. …

“And as for my dear Jack, it is a precious thought to me that in the last month of his life, when he had so many problems that seemed insoluble, he had the shining gift of your nobility, to give him the hope and faith he needed to carry on.”

Now you know.

The Elder Statement: Civil Rights Movement -- ‘Southern Strategy’ vs. ‘Northern Strategy’ (Part 2)

March 30, 2014 Civil War , Debbie Wasserman Schultz 0 Comments
By Larry Elder, March 30, 2014

Today, there is a “Northern Strategy.”

It’s the insidious accusation of racism in order keep blacks angry and voting 95 percent-plus for the Democratic vote. Examples:

-- Voter ID: AG Eric Holder says the laws “are designed to depress the vote of particular groups of people who are not supportive of the party that is advancing these photo ID measures.” Recall that Holder, sociologist-in-mid-season-form, once said "America,” when it comes to race, has been “a nation of cowards.”

Cowards? Abolition movement; Civil War resulting in some 700,000 dead (equivalent to a population-adjusted death toll of 7,000,000 -- and this doesn’t included maimed and wounded); the pre- and modern civil rights movement; LBJ’s war on poverty (ill-advised, notwithstanding); the appointment of back-to-back black secretaries of State -- up to and including the election of a black president, the first and only majority white society to do so -- represents, in matters of “race,” a national “cowardice”?

What does that even mean? A “nation of cowards”?

How do you define it, quantify it? Or is it just another demagogic design to, in some eerie horror film-like way, let the 95 percenters know that The Man has only been held down temporarily by President Obama. He’s out in 2017. Then it’s back to the basement, planting mushrooms in the dark, awaiting enlightenment.

-- Obamacare opposition: Jimmy Carter said the "vociferous" opposition to Obamacare is because some people cannot accept Obama's race.

-- DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz saying the GOP wants to "return to the days of Jim Crow."

-- Hillary Clinton (who never served in the House): “When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about."

-- Joe Biden: Republicans would “put y’all back in chains.”

-- Charlie Rangel saying about the GOP in the 1994 Republican-led House: "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' any more. They say, 'Let's cut taxes.'"

It’s today’s “progressives” who seek Jim Crow-like mandates on private conduct. Examples include the science-defying anti-e-cig laws; Bloomberg’s nothing-larger-than-16oz Slurpee campaign; “commonsense gun control” laws; requiring employers to supply contraceptives despite religious objections; mandating that porn actors to wear a condom; and many, many others.

What these laws have in common with Jim Crow is that they tell people how to behave with or on their own property -- as long as it's on the government's terms.

STANDARD PLAY FROM DEMOCRAT PLAYBOOK: "DNC Chair: GOP Wants To Bring Back 'Jim Crow'" --Black vicitcrats=95% vote

March 22, 2014 Ben Smith , Chairwoman 2 Comments
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
By Ben Smith, Jun. 06, 2011, Politico
Raising the rhetorical stakes around local battles over voting laws, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz yesterday compared Republican efforts to tighten access to the polls to notorious segregation-era Jim Crow laws.
Roland Martin asked Wasserman Schutlz about the laws in an interview on the African-American network TV One's "Washington Watch" program, according to a transcript from the network:
[I]f you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and - and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act and made sure that we could iron out those kinks, now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally - and very transparently - block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And it's nothing short of that blatant.

UPDATE: A Democrat notes that the Miami Herald also invoked Jim Crow in discussing the legislation.
