Unlike President Obama, she does not hesitate to name Islamic fundamentalism as the cause we are fighting:

Apparently unaware that audio was being recorded, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee took positions off the reservation when speaking to a Jewish group when speaking in South Florida. The Shark Tank , which covers Florida politics like nobody else, breaks the story, complete with the audio.

It would be great if DWS had the integrity to speak this way when appearing on Meet the Press or some other national forum. The fact that she said these things at a meeting with a Jewish group suggests not only pandering (her congressional district has a large Jewish population), but also that she suppresses her real views when she knows she is going on the record as a DNC official.

Clearly they were highlighting what is Israel had done to Gaza and the plight to Palestinians, and my first thought was, ‘Where is the balance where is the spotlight on what Jewish children in Israel go through from being victims of rocket attacks.’. The media’s coverage, its not just MSNBC, I’ve seen it on CNN and even in the broadcast media, as well…”
