DNC Chairwoman Bashes GOP For Supporting Foreign Car Companies, Owns Foreign Car

Audio
» 90 comments

It’s a general rule of thumb that whenever a politician says something negative about their opposition, they better not be guilty of the same thing, otherwise they would end up looking incredibly foolish.

The latest pol to suffer from this is Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Since she began her tenure as head of the DNC, Wasserman Schultz has gone on the offensive against the Republicans. She accused the GOP of “waging war on the unemployed” and slammed their budget proposal as a “path to poverty.” But her latest attack on the opposition backfired in a major way.

Wasserman Schultz appeared at a breakfast for reporters and called out the Republican candidates for president who were very critical of the 2009 auto bailouts:

If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes.

So we can infer that if Wasserman Schultz had her way, we would not be driving foreign cars. We would be driving automobiles made right here in America!

Well, what an error that would be. Luckily, her garage was on hand to clarify her position.

[A]ccording to Florida motor vehicle records, the Wasserman Schultz household owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35, a Japanese car whose parent company is Nissan, another Japanese company. The car appears to be hers, since its license plate includes her initials.

Obviously, it’s not entirely fair to base her position on domestic car manufacturers by what she drives to work. Her voting record would be a more accurate way of measuring it. However, if you’re going to throw stones, make sure your house is not made of glass first.

  • darladoon

    i fail to see the story here…..

    who wouldn’t buy a foreign car? they get better mileage, and are cheaper

    just because she has a foreign car doesn’t mean she herself doesn’t support american
    car companies….

    if american car companies actually made a good product, then she’d certainly buy one

    who wouldnt?

    Yeah, there’s a lot of that going on in America. So much that it really doesn’t matter if GM fails or not as far as the vitality of the American auto industry is concerned. We made it past American Motors. We made it past Hudson. We made it past Studebaker. Either GM would sort its problems out in the usual fashion, or we’d make it past GM.

    Americans require cars, therefore cars will be made in America, preferably by companies that can do it profitably without all of America having to bail them out. We make all kinds of cars here that aren’t GM’s. Oh, and the future of GM, the Chevy Volt? It’s crap, and virtually nobody is buying it except the government and GE.

    Any time I see this evil, hateful, thing on TV I move to switch channels faster than the speed of light. Yes I know that we have not discovered anything faster than the speed of light but, just watch me change channels when either this woman (used very lightly) comes on TV. You have a better chance of actually seeing a Texas Diamondback Rattlesnake pop a balloon. Can’t be done in regular time. You need to do a freeze frame. But, this woman is so full of hate it makes you want to puke!!!

  • WildMan

    BTW, why doesn’t Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz ever wash her hair and brush it??? Why is she so hateful all the time. Rush says this woman is not related to Edith Schultz about to be gone from LSDnbc permanetly but, they both have the same angry and hateful personalities, if you believe either has a personality.

    Interesting. I took away from her comments that she felt that not supporting the American car makers during their economic crisis was un-american, not that driving a foreign car was un-american. Detroit automakers have helped build this country and make it prosperous, helped fight its wars, and have given thousands (millions) of workers a decent job.
    Allowing the car companies to fail without giving them a chance to reinvent themselves to be more competitive would have put many more workers out of work than just those on assembly lines. Parts suppliers, dealership employees, trucking companies and also the tax base of the towns the assembly plants are in would all suffer if the automakers had been allowed to fail.
    Buying a foreign car does not make you un-american, anymore than buying a computer that has foreign parts in it makes you un-american. What’s next…buying Mexican food is un-american?

    We allow companies to fail every day. Bailing them out had nothing to do with helping them “reinvent themselves” as companies routinely do in bankruptcy. It had everything to do with throwing money at the UAW. You’ll remember that Ford did just fine without bailout money.

    The lie that the left threw out and, apparently still believes, is that when a company goes bankrupt, they shut down. That’s not always the case. A lot of companies go bankrupt, reinvent themselves and come back stronger than before and without a bailout. Continental Airlines, for example, had gone bankrupt twice and almost went a third time. Long story short, Gordon Bethune took it and saved it from extinction and went “From Worst to First”. Chrysler and GM could’ve done the same. Instead, the powers that be chose to launder tax payer money through the UAW.

    No, buying a foreign car does not make you un-American, but tell that to the liberals who were raising hell about it just a few years ago with their “Buy American” amendment to the Porkulus. That was a payoff to the unions, but they started running into problems with the trade laws and kinda forgot about it.

    And by the way, Dan over at GayPatriot has written more than once about all the closed businesses in his area (West Hollywood). His representatives are all democrats. Why didn’t they bailout those businesses instead of allowing them to fail? It’s the same across the country. One store and business after another all boarded up. What made the unions such a better investment?

    And before you pop off with the over-used lie that we didn’t oppose it when Bush did it, yes we did and I can show you examples.

    Mr. Feldman is apparently unfamiliar with something called “the Google”, by which he could have explored the question of where the Infinitis Americans buy are built. Turns out that a lengthy search of some 30 seconds reveals the information that the vast majority of Infinitis are built in this country, meaning that there’s no inconsistency here, not unless Mr. Feldman believes that it only counts if we’re talking about domestic car manufacturers.

    I am curious TGC. What is bankruptcy but another form of “government bailout”? “Here, sorry you hit a bad patch, either sell off all your assets and pay pennies on the dollar to your creditors and walk away, or give us a plan and we will let you hold off paying your creditors until you can get better.”

    At least GM, for example, produces both new technology and prodcuts, and employs thousands beyond the factory gates, and those wages get spent in local economies. TARP (Thanks W!) was a bailout for rich bankers who produce….what? More bankers?

    [snipped uninformed drivel]

    If GM had went bankrupt without the bailout giving them time to structure it, they would have shed their pension obligations first thing. Then they would have instantly been competitive with the transplant companies, since none of them have been open long enough to have any pension obligations yet. But we would have been stuck with a much-larger bill bailing out the PBGIC instead of GM, and the PBGIC would have *never* paid back so much as a penny of taxpayer bailout funds.

  • Snidely

    The problem I have with the GM bailout is not so much the money per se, it is that the owners of the company – the stockholders and bondholders – were robbed of their equity and the UAW was bailed out. The bondholders, whose instruments were secured by the plant and equipment of the company, were especially treated badly. Not that anything like that would ever be addressed by the politicians or media on either side. It just doesn’t lend itself to 30-second sound bites.

    Nope. GM hasn’t “paid back” so much as a single cent. They merely did the Democrat thing, and announced they had done so……………….by moving other bail-out money into debt “payment.” Nothing but smoke and mirrors.

    TGC is perfectly capable of answering for himself (herself?), but what you are missing is the common Liberal myth that an economy can be stimulated by artificial means. Alathough attempted repeatedly, that never has succeeded. FDR extended a rather normal sized depression into a ‘Great’ depression for over a decade by trying such folly. Only when WWII created a REAL stimulus with genuine demand requiring genuine supply did the economy change directions back toward growth and prosperity.

    DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz Has No Clue That ‘Undocumented’ Immigrants Being In Our Country Is Currently a Crime and Attacks GOP for Trying to Act Like It Is

    She’s just another example of the Liberal, Do as I say not as I do crowd. They never assume anything pertains to them. After all they are the Elite, Arrogant but Elite. After all these years they still dont see how silly they look.

  • CAconservative

    Clearly, Rep.Weiner is Ms.Schultz in drag. Why anyone would vote for this women is a mystery. Listening to this woman’s nonsense once, should have been a giant red-flag to anyone considering voting for her.

    I’m kind of surprised she doesn’t ride a foreign made broom.My god,this woman is ugly.

    THATS IT! I was trying to remember who Rusty Shackleford is/was, now I remember. Wasn’t Rusty an unseen, but often referred too, member of the of the Cartoon, “King of the Hill” Particularly from Dale Gribble’s mind?

    Well done Rusty!

    My sincere apologies to Ms. Schultz. While I disagree with Ms. Schultz Politics, “RUSTY SHACKELFORD” calling her ugly was improper, and, dare I say, “impolitic”.

    The “Well Done Rusty” was purely and only in reference to RUSTY SHACKELFORD’s chosen Nom de Plume. I had been trying to remember where I heard that name before. I was expressing joy at solving my own dilemma, nothing more.

    Again, My apologies to Ms. Schultz.

    That’s all fine and dandy for the bimbo. Bet she won’t talk about how her precious democrats turned US auto-makers into foreign companies with NAFTA. Nothing has been more detrimental to the work force of the United States than the permitting of these corporations in their harvesting of slave labor from the third world.

    So we can infer that if Wasserman Schultz had her way, we would not be driving foreign cars. We would be driving automobiles made right here in America!

    WELL josh YOUR INFERENCE IS WRONG…IT AMAZES ME HOW YOU CONSERVATIVE SO CALLED JOURNALISTS CAN TURN A STORY COMPLETELY AROUND…DOESNT MATTER WHAT KIND OF CAR SHE DRIVES….HER ISSUE WASNT REPUBLICANS SUPPORTING FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES IT WAS THEIR LACK OF SUPPORT FOR AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES…THIS WASNT ABOUT WHAT KIND OF CAR ANYBODY OWNS, IT WAS ABOUT THE LOANS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION GAVE TO GM AND THE REPUBLICANS OPPOSED…..Once again republicans were on the wrong side of the issue….and conservative journalists like you damn near bust a typewriter key making up excuses for them….WHEN YOURE WRONG YOURE WRONG JOSH….LEARN TO ACCEPT IT…..AND WELCOME TO THE NO CREDIBILITY ZONE

    Dude, you are my hero. You say, quite indelicately, exactly how I feel. Don’t stop just because you don’t get any stupid cartoon thumbs up. Your posts make me smile!

    The problem I have with the GM bailout is not so much the money per se, it is that the owners of the company – the stockholders and bondholders – were robbed of their equity and the UAW was bailed out. The bondholders, whose instruments were secured by the plant and equipment of the company, were especially treated badly. Not that anything like that would ever be addressed by the politicians or media on either side. It just doesn’t lend itself to 30-second sound bites.

    And isn’t it so very strange that NO ONE is talking about that–not even the conservative leaning journalists.

  • Tedderman

    Think for just a moment though, how much GM and Chrysler would be worth today if the government had not bailed them out. Today they are again financially viable making all these instruments of which you speak worth something again. Oh, and Detroits coming back in spite of Gov. Snider(R).

  • adam_freedman

    You all are morons.

    It’s this kind of tripe that gives us democrats big heads. My six year old can see through you.
