Turner Wins Weiner’s Seat, Liberals Spin Loss
From the New York Times:
A little-known Republican businessman from Queens, channeling voter discontent with President Obama into an upset, won election to Congress on Tuesday from the heavily Democratic district in New York City last represented by Anthony D. Weiner.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was quick to hit the spin cycle. From Fox NY:
“It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City.
Wasserman Schultz told the NY Times:
“In this district, there is a large number of people who went to the polls tonight who didn’t support the president to begin with and don’t support Democrats — and it’s nothing more than that.”
That’s a curious conclusion, because this district has been one of the most reliable Democratic districts in America for nearly 90 years.
Democrat Anthony Weiner held the district 1999-2011. He succeeded Democrat Chuck Schumer, who held it from 1981-1999 and left when he became a senator. Then there’s Elizabeth Holtzman (1973-1981), and Emanuel Celler, who held the district beginning in 1923 until he was defeated by Holtzman. The length of time in office gives the additional lie to it being “a very difficult district.” Everybody was reelected at least 3 times.
The last fiction comes from Ynet News, which wrote “Turner took advantage of the discontent among the Jewish community with Obama’s policy toward Israel…” The wording implies that Turner was a lying opportunist–as opposed to Weiner, who originally denied his sexual predations and verbally abused a CNN reporter for questioning him about them–who used Jews to win. It’s too difficult for socialist elites, who run the New York media and have pinned all their hopes on Obama, to believe that voters were discontented enough to stray from their Democratic plantation for the first time in 88 years.
This incident reveals how liberal elites view average Americans as too stupid to know what’s best. We can only hope they continue this display.
“… there is a large number of people who went to the polls tonight who didn’t support the president to begin with and don’t support Democrats — and it’s nothing more than that.”
This pretty much describes just about anywhere you point to on a map these days, doesnt it?
Hey, waddayawant? I’m a vapid, braind-dead schmuckette who was given a job that too big even for my size 18 Justin Bieber jeans. As is typical of people who share my ideology, I’m innumerate, ignorant of history, duplicitous, and proud of all those shortcomings. I also plan to have an affair with Jimmy Hoffa before he’s encased in concrete like his dad.
Howard Nemerov – I would give Ynet news a pass here. It is an online English news website from Israel (sponsored by Yedioth Achronoth). I think Ynet was using English jagon to describe the (Orthodox) Jewish discont with O that led to Mr. Turner’s victory.
Perhaps you’re right. Nevertheless, that’s the language they used. Kind of like Terrorist Gadahn being used as an expert source by Brady Campaign to claim that “fully automatic weapons” can be bought at gun shows without any background check. See Gadahn’s lie here:

Brady head Dennis Henigan refers to Gadahn’s lie here:

If you tell a lie long enough, it begins to take on the aura of truth. Such is the way of things. Therefore, knowingly or unwittingly, Ynet contributed to the liberal rhetoric.
I stand by my post.
The ridiculous comments made by D.W. Schultz indicate just how deluded liberal democrats are. It’s comforting to read an article from the media that doesn’t perpetuate the delusion!
Schultz is a consummate, professional, liar. Her comments are perfect examples of how easily they roll out of her mouth. I’d love to see her head spinning behind closed doors over the loss of this election…
Thank you N.Y.( MY HOME STATE)for getting it correct.
AZ THANKS YOU AS WELL.
Please enforce your laws and help us here, protect the rest of you as a border State.
We’re not palying a video game here.
UNreported to you, rocket launchers have been found on the TX/MX border and the murder of MX citizens reported now, at 44,000 with ~ 2000 reporting missing.
The re-engineering of America by Obama Gate and D.C fully supporting a war of terrorism on ourborder is working very well.
Help us by supporting indictments (still on-going)for Operation Gun Runner. It’s hardly over.
