Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is in hot water -- again. This time, it's over comments she made in which she claimed that Israel's ambassador to the U.S. said that GOP policies are "dangerous" for Israel.
As reported by Fox News, "Israel's ambassador to the U.S. fired back at Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday after she reportedly claimed the diplomat called Republicans' policies 'dangerous' to Israel -- comments the DNC chief says were 'misrepresented.'"
"I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel," Ambassador Michael Oren said in a written statement. "Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle."
Oren was responding to a report in the Washington Examiner that quoted Wasserman Schultz as saying Oren agreed "what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel."
Wasserman-Schultz stormed back and accused the Washington Examiner of misrepresenting what she said. Let's take a look:
However, Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner, details exactly what was said and even includes audio of Wasserman-Schultz's comments:
In addition to Wasserman-Schultz trying to make an issue of Israel, the Democrats have now changed their party's platform and removed language which states that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel:
The Democratic Party platform doesn't state that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, a change from prior years that could provide fuel to critics who say President Barack Obama's commitment to Israel is weak.
"President Obama and the Democratic Party maintain an unshakable commitment to Israel's security," begins the 70-page platform in a section titled "The Middle East." The three-paragraph section details the Obama administration's support for Israel--including boosting security assistance--but says nothing about Jerusalem.
"It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama's shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel's capital," Mr. Romney said in a statement. He added, "Four years of President Obama's repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality. As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally."
It appears that the Democrats have no idea what they are doing regarding Israel... or anything else for that matter.

Thanks for the picture at top of the article. I kept hearing her name and always wondered what she looked like. I see now she is the basis of all the blond jokes.
September 5, 2012 @ 3:09 pm
Is this woman as stupid as she looks? I think she’s a
big liability to the Dem. party, but as long as she and
Joe Biden keep making idiotic comments, let them be heard.
It’s a positive for the Rep’s.
Romney will be our new President, a no-brainer!
September 5, 2012 @ 4:22 pm
I would be hard pressed to answer that question.
September 5, 2012 @ 5:20 pm
Carmine – one minor correction, dws is the butt (vs basis) of blond jokes! No finer example of what has taken over the donkeycrats. What is amazing is that there are some that defend that nit-wit!
September 5, 2012 @ 8:04 pm
DWS is a known liar and has publicly lied about Romney, so her credibility id Zero.
September 5, 2012 @ 8:50 pm
If this woman misspoke than everything she has said for years has been mispoken. I would like to be very blunt here: She is a blatant liar. Has always been and probably will always be. Her motto is “The end justifies the means.”

I will never understand democratic Jews or Hollywood Jews such as Stephen Spielberg. He wrotes movies about the holocaust and then supports democrats and people who do not really support Israel. What gives? Where is their head at? You can tell that they don’t by their actions. What kind of Jew does that? As a Christian I hold such deep burden for the Jews. Everytime someone calls me a Nazi for my deepy held conservative convictions it is all that I can do to hold my tongue. I just have to remember to say to myself “Fogive them Father for they know not what they do.” Calling anyone a Nazi just cheapens an act that was so deplorable and like no other.

No matter what Sergeant Schultz does to soften her looks or straighten he hair she still looks like someone who stuck her finger into a light socket like her fearless leader who can only stick his finger in the Dykes to stop the leaks but never go out and build us some new economic Dams that produce electricity to once again curl her hair and complete the Democrat circle of life which is more like Ring around the Rosey a pocket full of Posers ashen ashen they all fall down.
September 5, 2012 @ 1:21 pm
Wasserman-Shultz is the typical lib : All mouth, no brain. I have never heard anyone in my life spout out more lies and deceit than this woman [I use the word 'woman' very loosely]. She without exception has a one-track mind of being ‘mindless’. When she opens her mouth you know of a certainty that she is lying.
September 5, 2012 @ 6:26 pm
I have never seen a blond witch before but I have now and it is not a pretty sight nor a thing to listen to!
September 5, 2012 @ 9:10 pm
There is another one named Nancy Pelosi! Maybe not blonde but just as bad or worse!
September 5, 2012 @ 1:27 pm

A Jew that truly hates Israel, not too uncommon here in the USA. What is dangerous to Israel is that Iran is building Nukes with Israel’s name on them. And our name is probably on a couple too along with probably Turkey. Wasserman can rally to the cause of the Palestinian and the west bank but she must realize that the West bank is kept afloat by Iran, Syria’s civil war, the Government there is being financed by Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon is being financed by Iran. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is being financed by Iran. Our troops are being killed by Iran in Afghanistan and were being killed in Iraq by Iranian weapons and help. We need to underwrite Israel’s viability if not for nothing then to keep fanatical Persian dominance from happening from India to Morocco.

The ONLY reason that woman opens her mouth…
Is to change feet.

She is the most Stupid-Animal in this World.

My friends, NEVER assume that ANY Democrat in a position of leadership is stupid, or doing anything less than actively supporting the Communist agenda of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
We are being governed by agents of an international Communist conspiracy. Never, EVER, assume that any word out of the mouth of a Democrat (even one as irritating as Debbie Positive-Wassermann) is anything other than a carefully crafted statement to lead the masses to support the destruction of American constitutional government.
September 5, 2012 @ 8:39 pm
The thing that a lot of conservatives/republicans seem to forget is that these agents of destruction are NOT stupid. They have honed their craft well. They know exactly what they are doing and why. It is the blind deer who follow these marxist/commies who have been lulled and propagandized into stupidity.
September 6, 2012 @ 2:43 pm
Amen, sadie! These people know exactly what they are doing. And……they are counting on the most vulnerable and ignorant to vote for them. They will promise them anything and everything. Hollywood plays along so these people see all of the endorsements plus a lot of Hollywood are just down right stupid but think they are smart because they fell in to money. Then they go to the polls and vote for anyone with a “D” behind their name. This can be verified by watching the questions reporters ask the citizen on the street. These people do not know anyone in Congress but know Obama’s name. Why do you think the Dems want motor voter, illegals, homeless on park benches, prisoners behind bars, dead people, no id’s, and NOT our Military in combat.
September 5, 2012 @ 4:17 pm
Let me see if I have this correctly. she claims that an ambassador made a statement to her. Said ambassador says he never said that therefore stating quite clearly she lied. We are taking her out of context?
That is definitely the knee jerk reaction of the dems when they say something stupid. You lied about a quote and got called on it. That is not taking you out of context.
I pray my countrymen will see these people for what they are and vote them all out.
September 5, 2012 @ 7:44 pm
You almost got it …
She says the ambassador said something.
The ambassador says he never said that.
She (now) says that she never did say the ambassador said it.
But, we have her on tape saying the ambassador said it.
She lied when she claimed the ambassador said it.
She lied when she denied having claimed the ambassador said it.
She also lies about most of the subjects she talks about.
She, and most Democrats, think they can lie at any time and nobody will know it’s a lie.
September 5, 2012 @ 8:41 pm
VietnamVet: This is precisely my point. The blind deer who hang on every belch and fart from their fearless leaders is a testament to their inability to think logically.
September 5, 2012 @ 4:37 pm
I hope DWS only wears skirts because if she were to put on pants, they would surely catch on FIRE every time she opens her mouth to speak.
She has been caught in so many outright lies that it’s a wonder that anyone even asks her opinion on anything.
Is it my imagination, or is her nose getting longer every time she is on TV?
September 5, 2012 @ 4:41 pm
I am not a democrat but we do need to cut most support we give the other countries 90% of what we give needs to be keep here to help our own country and those that owe us like china should be repaying or taking it off what we owe them we have helped rebuild so many nations after wars and disasters and all they do is stab us in the back at the UN and that’s another thing we should resign from that and kick them out of the USA just the way I feel if you don,t like it tough
September 5, 2012 @ 5:28 pm
77ford, you are so right in so many ways; however, Israel is not just “any other nation.” Not only are they our strongest friend and ally in the Middle East, they are our roots, literally. Our Christian nation is rooted in Israel, and because of that, we have borne the fruit of immense prosperity: “Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.”
September 5, 2012 @ 8:45 pm
Well said, Duffbash! We have to also remember that Israel is still the CHOSEN PEOPLE of God even though they rejected God’s own Son. Nonetheless, our Savior came from them. Much of Catholic ritual comes directly from Jewish tradition. Even the priest’s vestments are rooted in Jewish worship. Israel MUST be supported as they are the only country who is not afraid to fight the hordes of radical islam.
September 5, 2012 @ 6:01 pm
I have never understood why the Jewish community in this country voted so heavily to elect Barack Obama, who by the way has been captured on video admitting he is a Muslim and supports the world of Islam. This election should be different if they are as smart as they usually are, however, it remains to be seen if they finally get it.
September 5, 2012 @ 8:34 pm
Geesh! She’s almost as ugly as Hillary…
September 5, 2012 @ 10:11 pm
A prominent Jewish friend of mine in southeast Florida, lamented, shortly after the election, that she couldn’t understand how a single Jew could have voted for that man! How prescient she was! And now, I ask, how can a single Jew vote for this man!
September 6, 2012 @ 1:05 am
Ms. W. Schultz, existing as she does in a state of pathologically profound estrangement from reality, reserving unto herself, as she does, the right to brazenly endeavor to configure(contort) reality to suit her, and her ideological fellow’s pragmatic political requirements, represents ideally well the party over which she presides. To her, and to her ideological co-religionists, foremost among whom, Barack Obama himself, Truth is as alien as light is to the dark side of the Moon.
September 6, 2012 @ 2:26 am
Wasserman-Shultz is all mouth and shame on her. The way this President has treated Israel and she’s sticking up for him. Like all liberals, she talks one way and acts another. Hypocracy reighns!
September 6, 2012 @ 11:56 am
ODUMBA is a stinking muslim ,, of course he hates the Jewish people ,,,,,,,,,,,,
September 6, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Debbie does Dallas was a better movie when she was young and just starting out in the “PORN BUSSINSS” !
September 7, 2012 @ 3:29 am
The best way to respond to Ms. Wasserman, is to encourage everybody you are in contact with on the internet, to vote in November.
Any intelligent person who has ever heard her speak realizes she is off the rails. Remember, you heard Bill Clinton tell us that we are better off than we were in ’08.
I guess he meant himself, and the current resident of the big white building on Pennsylvania in D.C.
September 7, 2012 @ 8:55 am
What ??….You mean you can’t tell lies at the DNC ?
Debbie Schulz is a habitual liar. Perfect for her assigned position. Has experience. Maybe will run for President next time.
September 8, 2012 @ 1:50 am
This woman must be kin to Herman Goebbels, tell a lie and tell it often so that it makes it true
