CNN Doesn’t Let Debbie Get Away With Her Normal Distortion Of Facts

By Clash Daily / 14 August 2012 / 23 comments

Wolf Blitzer takes Debbie to task (see interview here) over her repetition of the false talking points the DNC has chosen to attempt to sway seniors.

By Guy Benson
Poor Debbie. She’s totally out-gunned and has nowhere to hide. Her talking points are pitifully hollow and cannot withstand even basic questioning. She stubbornly rejects the (correct) premise that the Romney/Ryan Medicare reform plan exempts everyone over the age of 54, and plays fast and loose with numbers — conflating 55 and 65 on several occasions. When she is brow-beaten into finally acknowledging — if not admitting — the truth around the 3:45 mark, she quickly realizes her “mistake” and reverts back into denialism. When Blitzer asks her to specify exactly how current or soon-to-be seniors would be impacted by the GOP plan, she cannot. Because they’re not. The Left is intellectually bankrupt on the very subject they claim will allow them to crush Mitt Romney in November. They despise the bipartisan solution Republicans have offered, but they have no alternative of their own. Dear Democrats, Medicare is slated to go bankrupt in 2024. You say it’s wrong for future seniors to be denied Medicare as it currently exists. Okay, what’s your plan, guys? We know that your actions have already cut Medicare by $700 Billion to pay for part of Obamacare. We also know that Obamacare establishes a government panel to ration care for the elderly. And yet the 2024 deadline is still coming. Again, what’s your plan, Democrats? Mr. President? Anyone?

I confronted Wasserman Schutlz on this very question last summer, and she gave an incoherent and inaccurate response. Also, here’s video of Paul Ryan destroying DWS’ talking point about seniors (read: future seniors) having to pay $6,000 more per year for healthcare. A debt crisis is on the near horizon. Entitlement programs are going under. Twenty-three million Americans are unemployed, underemployed or have given up home. GDP growth is slowing. The president and his allies have no plans, so they’re forced to invent smears and argue against positions that their opponents don’t hold. I’ll leave you with this clip of my debate with Sally Kohn on Fox News. The topic: Whether comparisons between Paul Ryan and Ronald Reagan are apt. Sally, like many liberals, is forced to pretend that she adores Reagan — arguing that he was far too liberal to win the GOP nomination these days. (Remember, every Republican is either dumber or more evil than the last). This assertion is laughable, and her characterization of Reagan’s record is flat wrong. Kohn also offers some, um, creative “interpretations” of what the Romney/Ryan plan would do:

Wolf Blitzer has a random act of journalism here.

Way to go Wolf! Finally someone who is looking to the truth and not some made up fantasy of what will happen.

Reaaly??? Mr. Blitzer did in fact state the facts accurately and that is a breath of resh air for CNN. However, to let her ramble on with inaccuracies and deceptions and scare tactics….gave her a small podium to trash Ryan’s medicare proposals.

The woman must be in politics because she is too stupid to do anything else. A job where facts don’t matter, a job where work quality doesn’t mater, a job where the benefits and potential to get rich rich with little to no effort other than running your mouth, a job where you get to travel and not pay for it, a job where if you are well rewarded if you say the right thing and if you cozy up to the right people, a job where when you screw up, you are not held accountable ethically, morally, or legally. Yeah, that sounds like the kind of job dipsticks like Debbie can do very well…for themselves.

  Actually Wolfe Blitzer did not state the facts completely accurately, for he left out that Ryan’s plan lets those 54 years old and younger choose to go on the new program, or stay with the old one, but the cost savings that would take place in the new one, for it’s recipients, will probably entice the smart younger people to choose it, instead of the older system now in place. But I completely agree with everything else you said!

OMG Debbie is the STUPIDEST person in the WORLD

  Right! Stupid looking, stupid sounding, stupid in every way. All these politweasels are professional liars, but WassermanTest-Schmaltz really needs to hire one, because she’s no where near as good a liar as her hero, the Kenyan.

Why does anyone take Snaggletooth Schults seriously enough to interview her. The only upside to letting her run her mouth is that it exposes the Socialist party for who they really are. She makes Anthony Weiner look like a saint. I pity Florida for having to put up with this Meth Head.

Wasserman Schultz is the perfect picture for the Progressive Democrap Party. I hope the “regular” Democrats will soon recognize what the Progressive Democraps truly are…a mixture of Socialists, Communists and Marxists. They do not have America’s interests at heart.
The coming election is not a fight for Party. It’s a fight for the life of America. Obama is a Rogue President and there’s no resemblance between the type of Party he heads and the old true Democratic Party.

I think the dems need a new spokesperson and a whole new party they need to clean house!

  Problem is, the democraps no longer have a party. They’re just too stupid to realize it. Their party has been hijacked by the fascist-progressives, and they act like nothing has changed. The NWO has been financing them for so long, they just decided to buy it and take it over.

    You hit the nail directly on the head the dems are just a name and they are no longer a party !

Thank you, Mr. Blitzer, for doing what 90% of journalists aren’t doing…fleshing out the truth and challenging the DNC’s scare tactics. That one act says more about your character than whether one is Democrat or Republican. Doing what’s right is it’s own reward!

I’m almost starting to like Wolfe right now. All commentators should state the truth as they know it and let the people decide. I am so sick of people like her spouting off and not getting the facts straight. It has come out from the budget office, if something is not done on Medicare, it will be bankrupt in 12 years and then what. The dems don’t want to address what they are going to do. At least Ryan was one of the very few willing to address this.

AND SHE is a Congress woman ????? GOD help us !!!

The vile Wasserman-Schultz is an insult to our political system. Hopefully, the voters of south Florida will dump her and elect someone with class and integrity.
Deb

Dumd ass bitch
Deb

She is a big a liar as Obama
bigjack1

Can you say tongue tied. It’s just like most liberals , they can’t force themselves to accept the facts and so they try to distort the truth. Rather than try and work out solutions they try to spout propaganda. Would you not love for Paul Ryan to have a debate with Debbie Schutlz.
fliteking

Wasserman is a chick? Really?

I’ve seen the pictures but had no clue. Figured a middle-aged white dude was exploring his options.

I’ll have to pay closer attention in the future.
A. Michaels

Wow! P-lousy, DWS, Jackson-Lee, Boxer, etc. The competition for ‘Most Ignorant Woman(I use the term loosely) in Politics’ is getting pretty stiff! You Dems must be so proud.
URKiddinMee

Wolf has just learned the fact that “You can always tell a liberal, you just can’t tell ‘em MUCH!”
ste1021

What’s happening? Even CNN can’t handle the lies spewing forth from the vile Wasserman-Schutz. Reminds me when Fox had to cut her off because she wouldn’t stop lying. I have a great idea – just cut her off completely. Don’t invite her on your show anymore. You’d be doing the whole country a favor!

I have to put this Dummy in the same boat with the wicked witch of the west Polosi !!!
She’a a total Moron!!!

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
