Debbie Wasserman Schultz Says GOP ‘Extremists’ Seek ‘Dictatorship’ …Because Republicans Aired a Ben Affleck Movie?

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz GOP Extremists Seek DictatorshipThe Town Ben Affleck Movie

Because the debt crisis isn’t nearly tense enough, Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz reportedly said Wednesday that House Republicans seek to impose a “dictatorship” through their actions in debt-ceiling negotiations. The Florida Congresswoman also alleged GOP rhetoric could “spark panic and chaos,” which, according to Wasserman Schultz, would be “potentially devastating” to the economy.

Politico reports:

“Aren’t we at the point where the closer we get to chaos, the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats?” Wasserman Schultz asked. “This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship. I know they want to force the outcome that … their extremists would like to impose. But they are getting ready to spark panic and chaos, and they seem to be OK with that. And it’s just really disappointing, and potentially devastating.”

The inspiration for Wasserman Schultz’s rant reportedly came from a movie clip shown to the House Republican Conference by Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy. The clip, from the Ben Affleck movie  “The Town,” was allegedly intended to send the message to Republicans that “we’re all in this together.” But to Democrats like Charles Schumer and Wasserman Schultz, however, the movie is code-speak for an all out revolt:

The DNC chair said: “They start the day with trying to incite their caucus with, essentially, violent movie clips – pushing their people to inflict pain and hurt people.”

The movie is about a bank robbery, so is Wasserman Schultz insinuating the GOP comprises thieves intending to loot, maim and kill to get their way?

Schumer apparently thinks so. Watch as he describes the movie scene unfold where masked robbers literally “bludgeon” a man. Perhaps Schumer suggests the GOP would do the same:

But Boehner’s press secretary Michael Steel thinks Democrats latching on to the movie clip are wasting precious time on nonsense, stating “Given how serious the situation is – and the situation is serious – why is she spending time complaining about Kevin McCarthy’s taste in movies?”

Wasserman Schultz didn’t relent, however, saying that the two parties needed to “come to the table” and hammer out the compromisethe “American people want.” Wasserman Schultz continued:

“It’s just shockingly irresponsible that the closer we get to the breaking point here, the more irresponsible – and the closer they are to pushing us to chaos, as if that is the desired outcome.”

Wasserman Schultz concluded: “We’ve been sitting at the compromise table for a long time. We’re just waiting for that cold chair to be warmed up by the Republican leadership. They still have time to do the right thing and be responsible. They just seem to be moving further and further away from it.”

    The Democrats are attempting to rebuild America into THEIR image and likeness of dysfunction of the unnatural. Unfortunately, their are some Republicans trying to do the same.

    How in the he*l do they know what clip was ran?? They (dumbass dems and progs) haven’t even put forth a budget (nearly 2 yrs) much less a D/C proposal, but they got time to call us Tea Party peeps right-wing extremist and smear the good names of those Republicans (Cantor) who are trying to change the gangsta-type culture that has permeated DC for years (since “I hate this guy” was elected early 1900’s) but we do have the AL CAPONE factor in dc now. Does anyone remember the ads ran some time ago by the DNC- the truck with the chain behind it-touting that Repubs want to drag certain people or the ad (on radio) that hyped there would be more black churches set on fire if conservatives were in charge oh hell I could go on and on n on. Then there is that RINO McCain, he better sell his house take that rich beer swirling wifey of his and that Bit*h of a daughter too and leave the country of AZ. He is a very unwelcomed troll.

    Ever since this Dembo went off the teleprompter and laid claim to this “recovering” economy, Obama has had her sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage, washing the car and all the other chores that the expendable reps do during their last term. She’s like Alan Grayson in a wig and dress only slightly less attractive.

    Democrat Wasserman-Schultz is looking more deranged by the day….like a CRACKHEAD.

    Remember when Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner was spouting off – like a deranged Madman – and look what he was doing – until his open secrets were exposed by the media.

      This broad is really losing touch with reality! Too many Pelosi treatments!!! It should be apparent by now that the progressive liberal left couldn’t tell the truth if their lives depended on it. And the lame stream media sucks it up like a sponge and spews it out to the American public. My surprise is that most lame stream viewers can’t quite seem to figure out that they have been lied to, and have been lied to all along by these “journalists”. C’mon, man, WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! “Daffy Debbie” doesn’t wanna mess around too much with Allen West, he is the kind of “take no prisoners” type we need in the Oval Office!!! She could get burned playing with FIRE!

    Sounds like Debbie and Franken got together and exchanged talking points. They opted to pick a long one (dictatorship) to try and stump republicans, since they think they own that word.

    Whats shockingly irresponsible is agitation of a situation for political gain. Other than the movie clip what is your evidence Madam? Have you ever heard the term “ a rallying cry ”? I suppose you would have sedately indulged the town cryer who shouted ” The British are coming, The British are coming ”
    Yes Madam, there are times for aggressive action and volital speech. There are some in the political arena who need a little motivation to get things done. I suppose its best to point fingers and ridicule your fellow countrymen. But I may be expecting too much from some who never heard a sharp word or a loud command. Could it be that a generation of subdued parents balked at a bit of discipline. I know, I know, you didn’t want to bruise their fragile psyche. Well exuuuuuuuse me.
