DNC Boss Debbie Wasserman Schultz Viciously ATTACKS Bernie Sanders By Saying He's Like Trump




Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the real destroyer of the Democratic Party, supported by Hillary Clinton. Someone on another post rightfully pointed out that their strategy was to create a false narrative by drawing a comparison between Sanders and Trump using terms such as violence, attacks etc.......


Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. After claiming the DNC is neutral (a lie), she repeated completed unsubstantiated smears that are being hurled at Bernie throughout the mainstream establishment press. She goes as far as comparing Bernie Sanders supporters to Donald Trump supporters.

On Fri May 20, 2016, 10:29 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

DWS is nothing but a lying heap of steaming, hot sh*t supported by Hillary Clinton
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2015088

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I don't think this is necessary on a Democratic website.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 20, 2016, 10:42 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: DWS attacking a fellow Democrat like this? I am outraged too.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I generally don't feel comfortable using strong and offensive language such as 'lying', 'shit', within the thread starting post. In the heat of discussion within the thread, it may be acceptable but not the starting post.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't alert. Respond.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I may agree but we need to maintain decorum on DU.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "I don't think this is necessary on a Democratic website." Neither are stupid alerts.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Fri May 20, 2016, 03:00 PM
May 2016

The "bad cop" takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy between the subject and himself. This sets the stage for the "good cop" to act sympathetically, appearing supportive and understanding, and in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop will also defend the subject from the bad cop. The subject may feel they can cooperate with the good cop either out of trust or out of fear of the bad cop. They may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and provide the information the interrogators are seeking.

on an industry so horrible that 20 states have outlawed them and that Google has barred from advertising. She refused to endorse dems running again wingnuts.

From 2008:

<snip>
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) is getting brutally walloped in the liberal blogosphere for refusing to endorse the Democratic challengers to three potentially vulnerable GOP incumbents in Florida.

Liberal bloggers are irate that Wasserman Schultz, who co-chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red-to-Blue program, has declined to endorse the Democrats running to unseat Cuban American Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and his brother, Mario Diaz-Balart.

Wasserman Schultz says she doesn’t want to stab GOP members of her own delegation in the back. But liberal bloggers say she’s killing her own while aiding and abetting the enemy.

Just for the record, I’m not in favor of knocking out all Republicans either — so perhaps I have a bit of the Wasserman Schultz sin in my own file. I was for instance supportive of Maryland Eastern Shore anti-Iraq war Republican Wayne Gilchrest who lost his primary battle recently.

But the Diaz-Balart brothers and Ros-Lehtinen are not moderate in any sense of the word, are embracers of Bush’s wars, and have been responsible for sustaining a counter-productive embargo of Cuba by the United States that 183 nations of the world voted against us on this past year in the United Nations.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is helping to defend the political turf of not the best in the Republican Party — but the worst.

<snip>

Yes, that's right. Debs works to screw proles.

And you have no problem with that because she angers liberals.

You are a Debbie Wasserman-Schultz democrat.

supporters are so locked into their rage, they're willing to blow up the United States government and start a race war because they didn't get their preferred candidate. This is waht we get with a TRUMP presidency and a GOP controlled Congress and SCOTUS. And not only do you end up with foreign governments calling in their loans, you have foreign nations invading this country to protect their monetary interests because we are still the global currency.

DWS is a piece of work and I'm saying that as a HRC supporter. She gave PBO grief too. i think we need to work together to get the Congress we want to pass a progressive policy agenda. You will not get everything you want but we could definitely overturn Citizens United, pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT (infrastructure bill), pass immigration reform, get free community college, expand healthcare coverage, reestablish funding levels for PP. and reinstate parts of the VOTING RIGHTS ACT stricken by the SCOTUS.

it's not a perfect world but it won't be a TRUMP world, which is far more dangerous and unpredictable than anything we've imagined.

A nice DUer explained it here: You are witnessing the first "Stochastic Smearjob"

We are in the midst of big fat smearjob perpetrated by the DNC/Hill camp against Bernie. They want undecided voters to see Bernie as mean and scary and Hillary as the nice, fuzzy "safe" candidate.

They know they can't win on issues and character, so they're playing to impressions -- and they can only do that through lies.

3) At some point, at some outrageous provocation, some one or some group of liberals will snap and do something that can be made to look one-sidedly stupid. That is the "stochastic" part.

4) Now that you have your desired "event", pull out all the media stops. Trumpet your "smearjob" from every propaganda platform. Who cares if Jon Ralston is a complete fraud? He has served his purpose in getting the story out there, for the corporate media to cite. Ralston is the equivalent of Matt Drudge in feeding bogus stories into the media.
