DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz confused viewers over the weekend after saying she had “no idea” about the political affiliation of a pro-Obama super PAC started by two former Obama aides.
Responding to the “Mitt Romney killed my wife” ad on Fox News Sunday, Schultz remarked: “First of all, that’s a Priorities USA ad. It is not a Democratic ad. It’s a Priorities USA super PAC…I have no idea the political affiliation of folks who are associated with that super PAC. … that is not affiliated with our campaign or with the party.”
She later took to Twitter to clarify (as we mentioned in our previous piece):

But the DNC Chair apparently didn’t get her message across, and was asked about the peculiar comment with Soledad O’Brien on Monday.
Watch the entire clip, which includes an interesting dissection of why Paul Ryan appeals to voters, via Mediaite:
After repeating Schultz’s Sunday quote, with particular emphasis on how she has “no idea” about the political affiliation of Priorities USA, O’Brien skeptically asked: “really?”
“Soledad,” Schultz responded with little humor, “of course I know the Priorities USA Super PAC is a Democratic-affiliated Super PAC. The point I was trying to make was that that ad was produced by a separate organization, and organization that we don’t coordinate with and we have nothing to do with.”

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 12:30pmDWS IS AN IDIOT. OBAMA LOSES AGAINST PAUL RYAN.
Obama’s budget was shot down by all Dem Senators, Ryan’s was passed by good margin in House.
Obama gutted medicare by $700B and made it harder on doctors, then the campaign came out defending the cuts. Ryan created a budget to fix the medicare. Ryan’s mom is on Medicare (CBS hid that from the viewers after Ryan mentioned that in the interview)
Obama gutted welfare work requirements and reform. Ryan wants to repair welfare and reform SS and Medicaid. His budget fixes some of the problems.

The only way to tell if Debbie Wasserman-Shultz is lying, is to watch and see if her lips are moving. Disgusting. Even if I were for President Obama, I wouldn’t vote for him because of his affiliation with her.
If I were part of that Super PAC I would be highly upset that the head of the Democratic National Convention didn’t even know who we are affiliated with. I wouldn’t give them another dime.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 10:32pmRanger, it’s all cover. She says one thing one day. Then, a couple of day later she says something else.
Three months from now the media will choose to only show the one where she said something else. The will show and R (in this case) saying that DWS said . Then they will show the clip where she says what she says in this clip.
Then the MSM will have a grand time pointing out how mean and misogynist the R’s are. They are just out to get poor Debbie, don’t you know?
It’s all Kabuki theater. Period. Peace.
