Democratic Group Demands Debbie Wasserman Schultz Resign!

Liberal group demands DNC chairwoman resign

By Jonathan Easley

The liberal group Credo Action is demanding Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resign a day after the Florida congresswoman accused millennials of "complacency" on abortion rights.

In a petition sent to the 3.9 million progressive activists the group claims as members, Credo cited Schultz?s comments on abortion, which infuriated many liberals, as well as a litany of other offenses, in calling for her to be removed.

Credo also accused Schultz of "rigging the primary process to suppress Democratic turnout," of "supporting warmongers by trying to undermine the president?s Iran deal," and of courting special interest groups at odds with liberal values.

"As DNC chair, you have repeatedly failed to act in the best interests of progressives and the Democratic Party," the petition reads. "You have lost the trust of grassroots progressives and Democrats. Please resign immediately."

On Wednesday, Schultz said in an interview with The New York Times Magazine that women in their 20s and 30s are not committed to fighting for abortion right because their "entire lives have been lived after Roe v. Wade was decided."

Many abortion rights activists took exception to the comments.

But the flap was just the latest controversy in what has been a tough cycle for the DNC chairwoman.

Schultz has been under fire for the Democratic presidential debate schedule, which has been pared back significantly, with many debates taking place on the weekend or near holidays.

Democratic presidential contenders Bernie Sanders and Martin O?Malley have accused the DNC of seeking to bury the debates to protect front-runner Hillary Clinton from scrutiny.

They have fumed over the missed opportunity to get their message out.

Accusations that Schultz and the DNC are in the tank for Clinton erupted again over how she handled the unauthorized use of a Clinton voter database by a Sanders staffer.

The DNC brought the hammer down on the Sanders campaign, resulting in a court battle between the two that still has not been resolved.

Furthermore, the DNC's fundraising has been under scrutiny. The Republican National Committee has massively outraised the DNC this cycle and sits in a far better financial position.

"Chair Wasserman Schultz has repeatedly pursued her own agenda at the expense of the progressive base and basic principles of fairness," the Credo petition reads. "That's bad for progressive values and bad for the Democratic Party, and she must resign."

With the passage of time we get used to the horror.

But the Roe vs Wade decision settled things out just as well as the Dred Scot decision.

That is not true at all.

The Dred Scott decision was in 1857. Within five years the nation was at war.

Row V Wade has been around  for decades, and most Americans agree with it.

No.
The Dred Scott decision alone did not engender the war, it was an important piece of a big dynamic.

And No. There is no majority support of unregulated abortion on demand.

But yes, there is a larger dynamic that could fracture us and cause war, but actually I hope we can settle these things with milder measures.

Go Away Debbie Wasserman Schultz!
Candidate in 2nd place of Dem Primaries isn't even in the Democratic Party!
Dems have a very flawed front-runner currently under FBI Investigation that may be indited within weeks/months,

No one is going to arrest Hillary, she will not withdraw. Odds ate at least 60% that she will beat whatever the GOP dredges up.
If the Democrats accept Bernie their primary, then that settles it. It is the DEMOCRATIC Party, and the nominee will be determined democratically.
There are far more disputes among Republicans, most of them over idiotic crap like Mexico building a border fence to keep Mexicans from crossing it, and whether there were thousands of Muslims cheering 9-11 in Jersey City in 2001.
You do not have the power to shoo Debbie Wasserman away.  What a silly post!

You or I would spend years in prison for only what she has admitted to doing.

This is really the best candidate in the whole Democratic party?

Or is this the best connected candidate in the Democratic party?

I think it's safe to say, it's the latter

When has any party nominated their best qualified candidate?


I prefer Sanders over Hillary. He is a pragmatist and he is honest.

The country was unharmed by Hillary's emails. This is a stupid non issue, and I refuse to be bothered by it.

It's how she handled her damn e-mails, and everything else, for that matter.  But rest assured, it'll bother most other rationally minded people who haven't drunk the cool-aide

“Who does he work for now?” Clinton asked. “Us,” said Jake Sullivan, her aide who had forwarded Godfrey’s email.

"I was surprised that he used a personal account if he is at State."

This latest release, which brings the total to 82% of her correspondence, includes more than 3,000 pages, and it was transmitted a week late, at 2 a.m. on Friday. In response to a lawsuit, the State Department must release all of Clinton’s emails, in monthly dispatches, by the end of this month.

You are not rationally minded and are tipsy with Cool Ade nearly all of the time.
