This is the kind of heartless crap our party chair is up to

[Quixote1818]

This is the fucking shit Debbie is pushing:

Here she is trying to defend it:

[Gman]

1. More right wing smear bullshit

[truebluegreen]

3. So you like payday lenders?

[NV Whino]

4. Right wing. Left wing. Who the fuck cares.

This shit needs to stop.

[AllyCat]

12. Yup.

[mindwalker_i]

14. She's got the magical "D" next to her name

That's all that matters.

[AntiBank]

8. If Obama wore a blue tie, and Hillary said it was red, and a poster on here said "no it is blue"

You would call it a right wing smear.

Your credibility is subzero at this point.

[Omaha Steve]

11. DNC Chair Joins GOP Attack On Elizabeth Warren’s Agency

She took payday loan payola and slams a leading D Senator. Still think SHE is a D?

Tim was flirting with 1 million raised this month from small individual donations. He has more in state donations than DWS!

Payday lenders get a new ally.
03/01/2016 11:04 am ET | Updated May 17, 2016

WASHINGTON — Payday lenders have been gunning for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the day President Barack Obama tapped Elizabeth Warren to set up the new agency. They’ve had plenty of help from congressional Republicans — longtime recipients of campaign contributions from the payday loan industry. As the CFPB has moved closer to adopting new rules to shield families from predatory lending, the GOP has assailed the agency from every conceivable angle — going after its budget, attempting to tie its hands with new layers of red tape, fomenting conspiracy theories about rogue regulators illegally shutting down businesses and launching direct attacks on payday loan rules themselves.

To date, the GOP blitz has resulted in a few close shaves for the young agency, but no actual defeats. But the industry has cultivated a powerful new ally in recent weeks: Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPB’s forthcoming payday loan regulations. She’s also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill, according to a memo obtained by The Huffington Post.

LISTEN to HuffPost’s analysis of the bill in the latest episode of the “So That Happened” politics podcast below. The discussion begins at the 53:35 mark:

29. Excellent comment Omaha Steve, thank you

[Duval]

55. OS, I knew we could count on you.

Three cheers for the truth.

[geardaddy]

66. Thank you!

[PatrickforO]

13. Is it? Or is it sad truth?

Many Third Way Dems are quite content to watch the financial 'industry' cruelly exploit our people - our brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren.

It has to end, doesn't it? That means you, me and millions of others must become active, participate in campaigns and then continue to be active in local politics. If we do not like Third Way people, then we must begin at the grass roots level to replace those who only pretend to represent us.

[eridani]

17. So now the RW is against gouging poor people? Who knew? n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

18. She allied herself with Sheldon Adelson to send Florida Medical Marijuana users to prison.

I suppose pointing that out is a "right wing smear" too, huh?

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/on-medical-marijuana-debbie-wasserman-schultz-sounds-like-a-republican-6544176

[backscatter712]

19. Not a right wing smear. Truth against a right-winger pretending to be a Democrat.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz can go fuck herself.

[Enthusiast]

35. The right is all in favor of payday lenders and fewer regulations in general.

[Gore1FL]

50. Payday lending is a liberal thing now? nt

[Omaha Steve]

72. Here is some LBN on the DU front page

[demmiblue]

2. Disgusting. n/t

[jillan]

5. She also ditched President Obama's reforms to keep lobbyists donations out of the DNC.

I have a hard time understanding how liberals and progressives can support her as DNC chair.

[AntiBank]

9. It's simple, she is a corporate shill deluxe, and they have hijacked the party.

[OwlinAZ]

33. That they have.

The Hillary supporters leading the way.
There is still time Californians, New Jers(ians?) et al.

[Doctor_J]

20. Her supporters are right wingers

It's very simple

[valerief]

6. She's a fuckin' waste of oxygen. nt

[Dustlawyer]

7. We have been going about this the wrong way!

We form a Super PAC to buy her! We can just buy her to fire herself, I am sure she already has some cushy high paying Wall Street gig lined up. Hell, they hired Eric Cantor and doesn't know jack about banking!

We just have to legally bribe enough Congress Critters to pass Publicly Funded Elections and problem solved. Eh, except one thing, it would have to be one really big bribe to get them to end all bribes!

[Vote2016]

15. How can anyone in our party tolerate that? Why are we not united in our offense at this? Am I still

a Democrat if this is now acceptable within our party? What happened?

[Doctor_J]

22. A segment of our party is now far right, that's how. Besides predatory lending, they favor

War (as much as possible), for profit healthcare, torture, social security cuts, and poverty level wage. And whenever anyone calls them on it, they say that person is a right winger.

[Enthusiast]

37. It is deeply disturbing.

Deeply. It has me fucking sick.

[Jesus Malverde]

62. +1

[Poincare]

63. Since the RWNJ sh*t their side of the bed, they're trying to take ours

[chknltl]

68. +1 nt

[alarimer]

24. It's because she's a Hillary backer

So, of course, any criticism, warranted or not, is a rw (or Bernie) smear.

If she were a Bernie backer, I'm sure she would have been gone already. (In fact the DNC chair is supposed to be neutral in the primary, but she clearly is not).

The "all-criticism-of-Hillary-is-a-rw-smear" brigade extends it to her backers in the party as well. I swear, Ted Bundy could endorse Hillary and they would say he had been framed. The disconnect is that great.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. Nailed it!

[Enthusiast]

38. Huge +1!

[demmiblue]

71. +1

[MisterP]

43. after each loss we've had mass struggle sessions where everyone self-examined, confessed their

electoral sins and inadequacies, and begged our party betters and their swaggering enforcers for forgiveness

that's how

[Rex]

16. There is no defense against predatory capitalism.

[Demonaut]

21. I'd like to hear her defend it....like the ad says

political ads are designed to malign

[Blue_Tires]

23. Are there any objections to DWS other than the payday loan thing?

Just asking...

[Fumesucker]

25. Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?

[awoke_in_2003]

32. ...

[Blue_Tires]

48. Just sayin'

You dig deep enough, and you'll always find something distasteful in a candidate...

[Cassiopeia]

61. It's always good to need to dig though.

At least a tiny bit.

[bluesbassman]

64. Problem here is that it didn't take any digging at all.

This is not something she quietly tried to sneak in the back door, and it goes beyond distasteful. Support for payday lenders should be a deal breaker for a Democrat.

[Duval]

56. .....

Love it, Fumesucker!!

[backscatter712]

27. Being completely unable to manage the primaries in a fair and impartial manner. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

45. Which is your opinion...

[roody]

36. Endorsing Republicans

[Doctor_J]

41. .

Don't think you'll get a reply to that one. The neocons don't like facts

[Blue_Tires]

46. Oh, so now I'm a neocon? How wonderfully original.

Can't you think of something I haven't been called a hundred times already??

[Blue_Tires]

47. Which Republican has she endorsed?

Or is that supposed to be another childish swipe at Hillary Clinton?

[Gore1FL]

52. FFS.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article24478039.html

[Doctor_J]

57. Remember the cone of silence? That seems to be where some of the Clinton supporters

have all of their conversations. Nothing except what they say to each other is ever heard.

[Blue_Tires]

69. I see nothing in there that says "endorsement"

Yeah, it's a distasteful little tale of collusion, but that's fairly commonplace on the state level...

[Gore1FL]

73. It's a tacit endorsement

If that is what you want in a DNC chair, then I guess it all works out.

I would rather have someone who desires an increase in Democratic seats, myself.

[AntiBank]

42. yes, other than Potus the Dems have taken huge

beatings at congressional and gubernatorial levels and the party has shifted evermore to the right.

[Gore1FL]

51. There are many things.

Off the top of my head:

She teamed up with Sheldon Adelson to defeat medical marijuana reform in FL

She supported GOP candidates over Democrats in FL

We've lost many seats and governorships with her as DNC chair.

[noiretextatique]

67. Do their need to be other objections?

I don't think so.

[liberal N proud]

28. Right wing smear

[islandmkl]

30. Cake....meet Icing:

Since 2008 Democrats have lost:

69 House seats

13 Senate seats

910 Legislative seats

30 State legislative chambers

12 Governorships

[Enthusiast]

39. Massive gigantic plus one!

[libdem4life]

49. Heck of a Resume Addition.

[AntiBank]

44. your defence of her corporatist agenda IS right wing

[Gore1FL]

54. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is quite the Right-wing Smear to be sure. nt

[saidsimplesimon]

31. recommended Quizote, it is worse than

heartless.

[Uncle Joe]

34. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Quixote1818.

[Enthusiast]

40. K&R! This post deserves hundreds of recommendations.

[Duval]

53. Yep!

We've been knowing this. Thanks!!

[avaistheone1]

58. BUT she is a member of the democratic party and Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee.

So how can it be possible that Debbie Wasserman Schultz can behave in an undemocratic fashion when she has the word democrat by her name in so many ways?

[Scalded Nun]

59. It does not matter what her politics are, by backing this she shows herself to be aligned with evil

It is just outrageous and disheartening that she is not only a member of the party I call mine, but that she leads it.

[AzDar]

60. ALL of these Corporate Dems can go DIRECTLY to hell... This Primary cycle has revealed SO much.

[Jesus Malverde]

65. I love the framing

Those who want economic justice and to stop parasitic financial practices on poor and minority communities, are right wing. It's an interesting approach.

[TrappedInUtah]

70. Debbie is a joke

I just remember reading about her opinions on marijuana. Apparently she's fiercely opposed to legalization/decrim and then you find how she gets a bunch of campaign funding from alcohol corporations.

Typical corporate republican posing as a democrat.
