...........The Florida congresswoman said: "Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand. I know that is stark. I know that is direct. But that is reality."

Wasserman Schultz added: "What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. It is not going to happen on our watch."

Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch said she was "shocked" that Wasserman Schultz used domestic violence language to discuss political disagreements.

"I think the remarks were absolutely hideous and the motive behind them was despicable," Kleefisch said.

Kleefisch called on Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke to "denounce these outrageous statements" made by the DNC leader.

Stephanie Wilson, Burke's press secretary, suggested in a statement that Wasserman Schultz's comments went too far.

"That's not the type of language that Mary Burke would use, or has used, to point out the clear differences in this contest," Wilson said.........................

Gov Walker is already fund raising off this comment on his website. I hate it when things like this happen.

1. Another decent candidate laying the groundwork for defeat.

This is SO disgusting. Wasserman Schultz is a fantastic campaigner, leaving aside her blue dog tendencies. The advisor who tried to distance Burke from Debbie did the candidate, and. and the state a manor disservice. Just what Wisconsin doesn't need.

3. Mary Burke is a conservative, posing as a Democrat, seemingly trying to lose the election.

2. Perfectly appropriate

The language is absolutely appropriate

I just want to hear Walker say, "I do not hit women." So the rest of the people can add <in public>

If a man tries to restrict a woman's access to healthcare, suppresses her earning power, attempts to keep her dependent on him, they call it abuse.

It is the same with a candidate or a political party.

They own it, and any player in this campaign needs to point it out.

4. Blogging Blue is considered a progressive

blog but they are wrong on this one.


The GOP is just playing the whinny victim card again (see 1st response post)
