DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement on Romney surrogate Ted Nugent's offensive comments this weekend about President Obama and our nation, which can be read here:

"Mitt Romney surrogate Ted Nugent made offensive comments about President Obama and November’s elections this weekend that are despicable, deplorable and completely beyond the pale. He called the Administration 'vile,' 'evil' and 'America-hating,' and said much worse. Yet what have we heard from Mitt Romney and the Republican Party, who should be outraged that someone representing them is using language like this to make a political point? Absolutely nothing.

"Romney’s surrogates should know better than to rally the troops with outrageous rhetoric that is unacceptable in our political debate. Mitt Romney must condemn Nugent’s violent and hateful rhetoric immediately, as it has no place in our political discourse or this campaign."

1. WIN

we should do this for every single surrogate attack.

[bongbong]

12. We should

I agree completely. But it would fill the airwaves, since so many of the surrogates spew hatred 24x7.

But, of course, that doesn't matter. Since the media will never report on it.

2. Mitt Rmoney is not human he is unflavored jello that requires a mold to be recognizable.

Add flavoring and color, on his own he has none. Ted Nugent is just flavoring for a tasteless creature that has none.

3. What does this have to do with Ann Romney?

Sorry, but the desperate housewife is this month's 'news.'

[malaise]

4. Get over it

Only Democrats apologize

[vi5]

8. Amen

If ther'es one thing our elected Dems do well, it's apologize. And compromise. And capitulate.......so I guess there's a few things they do well.

5. Actually pretty mild for Ted Nugent

He was not calling Hillary Clinton a toxic c*** and worthless bi****, Feinstein a worthless wh***, and Obama a piece of sh**.

Someone should ask Ted Nugent what he thought about our troops fighting and dying in Iraq looking for those Weapons of Mass Destruction while George Bush made jokes about them being hidden in the White House.


Chop their heads off is a metaphor obviously.

6. the head of the illinois tea party had to apologize after teddy spoke at their convention

he basically said that some of ted`s comments did not reflect of the views on the illinois tea party.


teddy`s mom must be rolling in her grave

11. Actually....

Ted didn't have a mother. Like all bacteria, he reproduces by fission.

[gratuitous]

7. Outstanding; more like this, please

If it's good for the goose, surely it's good for the gander. Will we be treated to three or four days of coverage savaging Ted Nugent, and demands that the Romney campaign either disavow his odious comments or have them adopted as the campaign's own views? Let's see it, O fair and balanced popular media.

9. apparently it is ok for a surrogate to say these types of things but NOT to question...

Ann Romney's identification with working women. Typical media double standard.

10. And while he's at it, condemn Darth Cheney too. n/t
