Dem rep: "The *so-called* debt crisis was completely manufactured by Republicans"

When a Democrat in congress releases a prepared statement that clearly contradicts reality, it's worth calling attention to. Of course this used to be what the mainstream media did--and still does with Republicans. Dems, on the other hand....

So here's the quote; remember, it's not extemporaneous, but is from a prepared text:

"The so-called ‘debt crisis’ has been completely manufactured by House Republicans attempting to advance an extremist agenda."

That quote is from Barbara Lee, Democrat rep from California. So, Ms. Lee, are you claiming the "debt ceiling" doesn't exist? Or that it was a Republican invention to trap you brilliant Democrats? No?

Are you with the camp that wants preznit Obozo to simply declare that the limit is now raised--as if by royal decree--as several of your party comrades have suggested?

And tell us: Are you in favor of trillion-dollar deficits, year after year?

Finally, the bonus question: Do you know what's been happening in Greece for the last few months?

How can any serious adult have even a hope to be able to rationally debate serious problems and proposed legislation with someone so wacked-out?


Update: Here's yet another liberal Democrat moonbat on the debt ceiling:

The budget deficit is an excuse for the Republicans to undermine government, plain and simple. They don’t just want to make cuts, they want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the Department of Education. They want to destroy your rights.

Wow, glad our leftist media betters have called for an end to extremist rhetoric, 'cuz those are some pretty extreme charges.

I didn't realize that the House GOP budget bill de-funded food inspections ("destroy food safety"), clean water and the useless Dept of (Mis)Education. Oh, and that the GOP was trying to destroy anyone's rights. Wonder how they plan to do that?

Oooh, oooh, I know: The Repubs in the House will have their senate counterparts refuse to allow any debate on the GOP budget bill and then push it through while the senate is out of session. What a diabolical scheme to deprive half the country of its rights!

Wait...what? You say it was actually senate Democrats that killed the bill without debate, and not the Repubs? But...but...why would the Dems do that when they keep saying they're all about rights, and verrry concerned about the possible destruction of same?

Ah, I see: That line about "the Republicans are trying to destroy your rights" was just bullshit--sort of a projection. That does seem to fit.

Oh, and the person who spoke these lines--to a crowd of union members on capitol hill?

Former speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Yes, the same woman who cried during a press conference because she claimed she was worried that overheated rhetoric could lead to violence.

Sure, Nan--you were worried then just like you are now, right?
