MRCTV Catches DNC Chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz In Lie About Voter ID 'Jim Crow' Comments

On Tuesday, Alicia Powe of NewsBusters' sister site MRCTV.org asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) about her having described Republican efforts in various states for voter ID laws as "Jim Crow"-like measures.  Schultz, who frequently appears on cable news networks in her capacity as Democratic National Committee chairwoman denied that.

But alas, video never lies and we have proof that, well, Ms. Wasserman Schultz is, having told TVOne's Roland Martin back in June 2011 that Republicans want to "literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws." A very charitable explanation is that it's possible Rep. Wasserman Schultz just has a spotty memory. At any rate, you can watch the video in the embed below and judge for yourself:

for not showing up at their function a few months back. That was a pretty blatant attempt to salvage the Jewish vote in her district, and a screw-up by her staff booking her there in the first place.

Keep it up, Little Debs. You will make wonderful fodder for the campaign ads this Autumn.

Just as we used Nanny Pelousy....... Like a club to beat the dems up every time she opens her mouth it should be on TV with the word LIAR! over her face everytime we catch her we ask the American people one of two questions, First the Ronald Reagan question: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago..." and the Second being (after you show the OBVIOUS LIE) Can you believe anything that the democrats say? I think the American people will be able to take it from there.

And, in fact about it, 'we've' got enough ammo on Boy Baraka to be able to send him krawlin' back to Kenya (hell, 'we' should be able to put Elmer Fudd on the ballot and win in a landslide).............but for some unknown reason, I don't see that happening either from the gutless self-emasculating enichs who purport to represent 'us'!!!

Debbie is a moron

Submitted by djm159 on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 11:43am.

I would think Debbie would be ecstatic that the Republicans were trying to take us back to the Jim Crow days since Jim Crow laws were upheld by Al Gore, Sr and every other democrat at that time. If having to show an ID is such a bad thing and disenfranchising voters, why is it in Ms. Wasserman-Schultz beloved Florida you must show a photo ID to be able to vote? They will not except a voter registration card, it must be a photo ID. Ms. Wasserman-Schultz is from Florida. Furthermore, in Florida when the Alzheimer's express pulls into the voting precint, the children of the Alzheimer's patients, not the poll workers, assist in the voting process, therefore assuring two votes for the democrat kiddies.

I know two things for sure - you cannot be a democrat and be a Christian and you cannot be a democrat unless you are a pathological liar. I hold these truths to be self evident. Wasserman Schultz is a pathological liar of the first degree. We didn't hear her say that - she is so like Bill Clinton. If you tell the lie long enough people will believe it.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Submitted by Seashell on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 11:57am.

For the life of me I can't understand why Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the DNC chair. She is so dogmatic, and sorry but so nasty looking (ie-please do something with your hair-just wash it, comb it, style it). After all, she is the one they put out there as their spokesperson.

Also, to me she is just down-right annoying.

You're correct Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Submitted by Conservator on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 12:11pm.

Every Republican and conservative I know, including African Americans, are running to bring back Jim Crow laws in their attempt to maintain control of the House while regaining control of the Senate and winning the White House. Isn't this obvious to everyone? Conservative Republicans are nothing but racist bigots who are only interested in promulgating a war on women and bringing the nation back to the good old days of the fifties. Heck, women, blacks and Hispanics knew their place then - don't mess with the white man.

Unfortunately for Democrats, these were their opinions and not the Republicans.

Every Republican and conservative I know

Submitted by Huapakechi on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 8:28pm.

And just how many Republicans and Conservatives do you know?  Perhaps a better question is, how many would admit to knowing you?

Conservative Republicans are nothing but racist bigots?  Are we talking about the party of "Bull Conner, George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, and KKK Grand Klegal Robert Byrd to name a few.  Oh, a mistake.  Those are democrats aren't they?

Didn't the democrats force the Republicans to vote in the Civil Rights Act?  Oops, it was the Republicans that rammed that bill through Congress against democrat opposition.

Do a little reading of unbiased history beyond what you are indoctrinated with in the publik skuul textbooks and liberal media.

>>What was Martin Luther King Jr.'s political affiliation? Was he a registered Democrat or Republican?  No proof he was democrat, though some are claiming he was a republican:

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_richard__060824_republicans_clai...

(The National Black Republican Association(NBRA) claims that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. registered as a Republican in 1956. NBRA Chairman Frances Rice writes that "It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.")<<

Wouldn't be surprising at the time. The Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists and modernizers. Lincoln was the first republican president.

I'm not sure when the democratic party became the so-called party for social equality and civil rights. But these days its less about political ideals and more about what plaform will win the most votes.

When you accuse conservatives of being racist bigots, provide the names and the proof.  We already know about the democrat racist bigots and we have the proof.

History of Civil Rights

Submitted by m1xram on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 3:42am.

The Republicans with the aid of the Black Forefathers wrote all of the Civil Rights Legislation. The Democrats voted repeatedly against Civil Rights, and before that, repeatedly for slavery. During that time the Democrats formed the Klan. The Black Forefathers said to "never vote Democrat." Guess they were tired of all the beatings and lynchings.

All of the Jim Crow Legislation was created and voted for by Democrats. They had the majority after Reconstruction and used it to prevent blacks from voting in any way they could, including murder. During that time any white person standing up for his black brother was lynched along side of him.

So, exactly why would Republicans wish to revisit the historical racist vision of the Democrats? You need to remember that the opposite of Left is Freedom.

PS Want to see what the Democrats looked like in the 1960s? Watch The Help. They were still oppressing blacks into the 60s and 70s.
