Debbie Wasserman Schultz Under Fire for Comments on Tea Party and Tucson Tragedy

From Tina Korbe, at Hot Air, "RNC, DNC Chairs spar about civility on Twitter."

And the Arizona Republic writes a scathing editorial, "Placing blame on foes is reckless":

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who recently spoke of the "edginess and lack of civility" evident "with the growth of the tea-party movement" at the same time she spoke of the Tucson-area shootings involving her friend, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

The insinuation was unmistakable. The finger-pointing at her political foes undeniable.

It was an accusation of guilt, the same accusation that President Barack Obama so eloquently pleaded with everyone to resist.

"What we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other," the president said a year ago at a gathering at McKale Center at the University of Arizona.

The messy nature of American politics is always apparent.

The loud and often angry and confrontational "Occupy" demonstrations around the country in recent months are testament to that.

Wasserman Schultz does not know what drove a madman to murder. For her to imply that she does merely constitutes one more occasion to turn on each other.

Progressives are hateful by f-king nature. And Wasserman Schultz is a horrible person.
