On his August 23 program, Anderson Cooper called out the Democratic Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for misquoting the L.A. Times, but Ms. Schultz stubbornly refused to admit fault or that she had misquoted the Los AngelesTimes. Cooper said "But just as you don’t like being misquoted, I don’t like being misquoted, I’m sure the L.A. Times doesn’t like being misquoted to back up your political position. I don’t understand why you would need to do that." Guest host Jeff Kuhner asked are the tires coming off the democratic bus and are they just trumping up issues now to avoid the economy questions.

The fireworks at CNN last night. Now I've been saying this for awhile and I hate to say it is I don't like doing -- -- that I told you so I told you so. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is an albatross. Around the neck of Obama and Biden. It's not just that she's a shameless partisan hack. It's I'm saying this and it's gotten around I'm telling you was caught around people have been picking up on this I said look at her. She it looks like she just rolled out of bed. Put just went into the -- Comes right in front of the TV studio wooded killer drier hair would it killer grew warmer air. Well there she is last night on Anderson Cooper. And disheveled. I think her hair was dry but got a democratic jockey it's the good dryer on -- her hair is disheveled she looks like she just literally rolled out of bed okay and she's going on. About this Los Angeles Times report. Which actually looks into Mitt Romney's and Paul Ryan's voting record. And positions on abortion. And you know how Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been blanketing the airwaves the last three or four days saying that the Republicans are pro rape. Picking taught Akins comments out of context in fact and then trying to smear the entire party with that. So she runs around the saying normal homo Aiken is not just one isolated guy in the Republican Party. Mall Scott Brown is apparently according to chief Warren Scott Brown is for rape then wasserman Schultz comes in and says I'll do you want up chief warrant. Ryan is pro rate Romney is pro rate and so she's running around claiming that Ryan and Romney. In fact oppose abortion in every instance. Including vat of rape. Incest. Or the life of a mother. And the Los Angeles Times. Looked into these charges. And they actually said there false. That of course Romney has said repeatedly. Yes he opposes abortion. But he wants exceptions in the instances of rape incest and the life of the mother Paul Ryan the same thing. And so wasserman Schultz. Completely. Distorts and twists. That that -- story that appeared in the Los Angeles Times and she sends out a mass email. -- all of her democratic supporters and Democrats across the country saying as the Los Angeles Times is said and shown. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Oppose. Abortion in every instance including rape and incest and the life of a mother. She's sold blatantly lying. She's so blatantly twisting the facts. She sold desperate to wrap -- -- can around the neck. A Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. That even Anderson Cooper even -- Clinton news network -- MM. They come time. Comrade wasserman. Take it easy. So here is Anderson Cooper. Challenging Debbie Wasserman Schultz and sank all month now do you really mean what she says sandy -- clipped one. In the wake of the comments made by congressman Aiken on abortion you've been sending out fundraising appeals that -- -- -- an attempt to link Mitt Romney -- with congressman they can even Paul Ryan's position on abortion you you do acknowledge Mitt Romney supports abortion to cases of rape incest and the life of the mother. Don't well -- I think that women need to know the dramatic difference between president Obama's position on a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices other democratic party's position. And Mitt Romney in the Republican Party and so Mitt Romney's words are very nice but the bottom line is that. His campaign had just directed at the Republican Party platform to include. The most respective constitutional amendment that would say to women that. You would have no opportunity to make your own reproductive choice and under any circumstances. Even in the case of rape or incest the WiMax is your -- his hands on Anthony's now exception and off your -- his campaign directed. And the rough you're saying his campaign directed the writing the platform. You and that's a claim you make your fundraising responsibility ever heard of but does not mean eat right you're saying US irresponsibility and a presidential campaign put pressure -- -- -- -- -- Mitt Romney did not designed or direct deriding Republican Party platform to the -- in particular the language on abortion as I heard during the same that is and every -- us. Do you are you saying that he wrote in 20101000. -- 2008 because it's the same language. And according our reporters and win the ruling that -- as the platform is being discussed people could suggest changes the Romney campaign did suggest changes to few sections. But they didn't say anything about the abortion language you can fault them as you did for not pushing their position you can't say they designed -- transactions. And it's only definitely can stand because he's -- and in in the previous platform is Mitt Romney has embraced. Previous Republican Party platform and embrace that language -- -- said he. Now now I mean she's making up she's lying to -- -- and -- label now. The Republican platform but the RNC. It was Zaman 200820042000. Acres -- 19961990. Bill. What what -- -- was silent when Mitt Romney was a little teenager he secretly designed via the platform. I mean is is it's the is that come I'd say actor cats like Mitt Romney now secretly surreptitiously behind as it has that massive puppet master. Designed the RNC spot for artists like cancer and so now Anderson -- like hey c'mon. C'mon man to even for Anderson now even for the silver haired guy. Now it's like c'mon -- but I mean he really coming across as a ridiculous but they're coming across this shameless liar. But hold on now. Now he wants the pin her down. Exactly. On how she can make these claims about Mitt Romney. And try to use the Los Angeles Times. As the factual basis for false claims role clip to. When you see target group good I -- beat everybody he has three years you have to acknowledge she has for years publicly said. That that he supports abortion in the case of rape incest or the wife the mother is at stake. I can certainly recognize that these guys that out loud and I think it's very clear that Mitt Mitt Romney talks the talk. It certainly doesn't walk the walk. He has fully embraced his party's platform that includes a constitutional amendment could put -- all forms of them that -- abortion. Including with no exception. For rape or incest I guess I donors on the -- fundraising appeal that you wouldn't it seems may be accidentally bit but you completely. Misquote the LA times and make it sound as if they're saying something that they're not saying and you're using that is evidence to back and his position. I understand it doesn't matter anyway these guys it what matters I mean to -- this. His -- and they didn't say you're saying it's a proof of your position and it's actually nonsense -- imagining him. The reason that we sent up on -- and that we will continue. The second out and now -- and that reach out to voters is we want them to know the difference between the two parties and the Tea Party candidates. Now app netbook as -- if you -- she's caught red handed she's basically caught what are hand in the cookie -- He confronts her and says no the Los Angeles Times in fact said Romney. On supports abortion in cases of rape incest and the life of the mother. It's exactly the opposite of what you say. As it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter we set it and were gonna continue to say it because we're gonna hammer Mitt Romney we're gonna lie lie lie. So she's caught it's it's now exposed to everybody. Even the lefties at CNN. Are making a mockery of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And privately there has been private internal polling done. By the Obama camp and by the Democratic National Convention targeted Democratic National Committee Wednesday. And they have asked people around the country Democrats Republicans independents. They go who is the best spokesperson for the Democratic Party. Consistently. Ranked lacks. Is Debbie Wasserman. Schultz. It's not just the fact that she won't drier here. It's not just the fact that when you see here on TV -- colleague who we -- writes her rifle Arabia -- price is Cuba but she looks Lawny. Personally I don't know which has tunnel muscular control over right and it's like -- the the guys are just going all over the place. As I -- but is still lying. It's you know look I understand that politics -- a lot of lying amend our city and dishonesty in politics but I mean come on. If you're gonna law. At least -- gridlock either. Please be Smart about it at least know how to Bob in week so what do bring in on Bob but they take lessons from Bubba. It did get some training from Bill Clinton. Like let me tell -- I -- -- it instead. Here they have Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Going on and now CNN. Just eviscerate her and this goes to the heart of the matter. What the Democrats are trying to do. Is trump up this phony war on women. They've been -- now for months. And are essentially coming in really for them with they're saying about American women is this. -- act and needs very deeply insulting our women feel about this. But really women only care about to fix that ultimately what defines a woman. Is. That abortion. Quote sorry for reproductive health. And free birth control on sperm inside jokes. That's not free contraception for adults. But -- so women are either obsessed with sex or abortion. That's it that's it that's what defines a woman and that's what Debbie Wasserman Schultz essentially arguing and then they're basically saying that the Republican Party. Is full of -- evil -- will meander faults. That essentially -- when -- when that's the argument or Barbara Boxer said they hate their wives and their mothers. So now to go after Mitt Romney they wanna turn Mitt Romney into the second coming of -- -- Basically taught Aiken at the national level. So that's now the argument that normal moan all you see Mitt Romney may say. Constantly yes and Debbie wasserman told yes even she says that he says it. He does he says it he says he appointees supports abortion cases of rape incest life of the mother. But I know better I know what lurks in his heart. I know what's inside -- trust me he doesn't believe what he sank where you gotta trust. Your eyes your ears army comrades Schultz. And so the question I have for you is a very simple one. Is the liberal media. Starting to turn on the Democratic Party. Do they sense that their guy is going down. And now they're starting to cannibalize and turn on one another. 617. Forgive me 8774694322. Is the number. Will the Democrats succeed. In using that talk -- can scandal. To smear Mitt Romney I wanna hear from you Stephen thanks for holding your on the Howie -- show. Thanks but I -- SA couple that the first all. Great job for -- and then her captain usually when he hit a substitute kind of tune out but you have -- and well in my idea. Say a lot they'll laugh garment on that it. Deputy but. I am not here because governments are -- -- what police called flagrant -- Yeah. Now let's say if you mentioned. All of like the poll question -- -- Clinton liking Obama wasn't quite upset. He he. And before election that there was a time or it wasn't so long ago that you'd be -- parachute then serving art that caught -- -- I'm not aware of not quote I do notice. I'm not sure what court. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- How we namely went after me yeah. Really. I think so it's. Santa didn't -- how in game one of his dog. Is the first -- of his mental whatever -- name is good -- not all of that. Gruner and -- order a. I'll hit well there Laviolette I'd be honored of how we named one of his look I'll tell you what. Which can start a petition in a drive should how we have another dog or should one of his dogs have a big. Let's go from glared at corner but I'd be I'd be honored to be now one of highways that named after our one about his dog's obviously -- yet to be an honor. -- -- 8774694322. Byron thanks for holding your on the Howie -- show. Out Warner as well particularly my pleasure. I did wanna I wanna say that -- Republic in public since it but I have trouble with Vietnam. But the vice president there yeah -- it to vice president. All are racquetball or any kind of he he co authored. You know an arm and a portion of exploration or or. Or bill that would -- and I'm only only up forcing bad. That were under different categories on the bandit. Republicans are trouble there. Brian everything quoted as saying that there's no. There is no alarm. There's no hope alive -- units while polite and that expert troubled going to be accountable problems. Why -- being out of figured Arum are in the -- -- documentation at all of cooperative with the with your colleague there is it going to be up now is what they add that apparently. Thank you thank you very much Brian you make a very important point Anderson this has to be clarified. Because if there's been a lot of misunderstandings. The Democrats are trying to claim because house Republicans. -- signed a 200 of them. An abortion a piece of abortion legislation and of course -- Aiken is a non pro lifer on Capitol Hill. They say all Paul Ryan -- was one of 200 Republicans. He's just the same is taught -- That's not true and in particular here's what the legislation specified. Because the Democrats are are are are dissembling on this issue. What the legislation did was they said we oppose abortion. Except in the cases of incest. The life of the mother and this is the key phrase quote forcible rape. Now. Why did they say forcible rape. Apparently now Debbie Wasserman Schultz is outraged at forcible rape. A Barbara Boxer is outraged at forcible rape Hillary Clinton is how were outraged at forcible rape a chief warrant is outraged a forcible rape women weren't going ballistic. The reason why they sit forcible rape is this and there's no denying this fact. There has been an epidemic over the last 101520. Years what is known as for example they've -- I -- I had a very personal instance of them and let me give -- an example she was a young girl. She came from a fairly traditional family and a kind of an Italian descent Roman Catholic. And she went out partying with her friends she met a guy she doesn't drink very much usually she drank too much she hooked up with him. Things she went back to her dorm room. -- she went back to his dorm room things got a little let's say a heavy physical emotional. The clothes came off there was a nice Roland day. They wake up in the morning and all of a sudden I EI AEI she's saying to resolve what did I do I just slept with his guy. I'm ashamed I made a big mistake home what if mommy and daddy find out -- their parents were quite traditional. And she alleged rape she literally went to her parents his house afterwards and so I was raped. And the mother came -- remember she came to mind. -- my my and my late mother in law's house might -- mom's place crying thing I don't know what to do she says she was raped. But the parents just didn't -- story. And of course it came out that it was consensual is what they called date rape. So this happens very often where a lot of women for whatever reason. They were drinking their under the influence they wake up and they claim -- but it wasn't rape so what they say it is. We want forcible rape meaning legitimate that's rematch I think -- tonic in semi legitimate rape and other it's a man forcibly. -- -- And so that's what they said yes in that case and abortion. There should be an exception for abortion. That's exactly what the Republicans signed. So. -- they don't believe what taught a consent or what -- -- believes which is essentially. No abortion except in the case of the life of the mother. Both Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney say in instances of rape and instances of incest. An abortion can be allow. So there obviously distorting. What Paul Ryan did and what Mitt Romney did did or what they vote for what they believe in. Because they want to portray the Republican Party as out of touch and out of the mainstream when in fact is the very opposite. I believe abortion I know polls show is in fact a winner for Republicans. More Americans are pro life. Then they are pro choice. And this is why I think the mainstream media thinks they have the Republicans by the consoles on this they don't. And so the question I'm asking to all of -- was a simple one. This exchange at CNN. Do you think the liberal media. Are starting to turn on the Democrats. Sensing a defeat are they starting to shoot the messengers. 8774694322. Jeff corner sitting in for Howie Carr on the Howie Carr show. Good afternoon I'm junger polio WRKO news this report being brought to you by -- Famous Footwear. Several people recovering from injuries suffered in -- shooting near the Empire State Building this morning. New York police say the gunman killed a former coworker he was -- killed by police and nine people were wounded in the shoot out. Personnel from the US embassy and the Mexican navy were ambushed on -- highway outside Mexico City this morning it's not clear who the attackers were. At least two American soldiers were injured. Vice president Joseph Biden heading to Massachusetts for fund -- over the weekend on the cape. The money goes to the Obama campaign the DNC and some state democratic party's. And GOP presidential hopeful of Mitt Romney is setting his religious beliefs is one reason he's balking at releasing more of his tax returns. In an interview with Parade Magazine out Sunday Romney says he's reluctant to make public Hamachi gives to his church. Bogle was back at Famous Footwear by one pair of shoes get another pair half off huge savings for back to school on brands like DC Adidas and Madden girl. Famous Footwear I'm junger polio now back to the Howie -- show right here on Boston's stock station M 680 WRKO. We -- to sources and that Mitt Romney has. A very extreme position. I'm not on that issue and just if you don't like being escorted I don't -- I misquoted I'm sure the LA times doesn't like being misquoted to back -- a position your your political position. I don't know why you would need to do there is no getting around. I'm sorry there's no getting around. That Mitt Romney when he accepts his party's nomination for president that is its next week and they adopt that platform was has no exception. The rape or incest and it. That is Mitt Romney is platform and today you know to suggest. Anything else is absolutely the president it would be different than any other previous party convention did you release acknowledged that he was quote that you get. Welcome back that I Howie Carr show this is Jeff corner from The Washington Times sitting in for the great Howie Carr. 8774694320. -- Should we give Debbie Wasserman Schultz a nickname -- what do you think Champloo Debbie. Comrade Debbie. What do you -- Killian a drier air Debbie whatever. I don't know you tell me. 87746943. When he still Patrick thanks for holding -- on -- -- car show. Yet to hit some here like yes well I don't think and lame stream media's. He trying to. You know tragically at this point Barack Obama or his campaign. But I do have a question. Logic in regards to. Forcible rape are using a just legislation over the party's platform. State. That you have to approve that was forcible rape before you can have an abortion argument is in the the terms of the woman -- and the turn. Because with that would have to be associated any conviction. -- a very good question I've looked at the legislation I haven't read all of the details of the legislation but essentially with the platforms says. Is if a woman has been raped. And it's obvious that she has been raped or possibly mean by forcible rape then the Republican Party would obviously or that piece of legislation. Cosigned by many house Republicans would say that there should be an exception for an abortion. What they're really trying to prevent. Are frivolous abortions. By let's say a lot of these date rape incidents. Where people say all I was raped I was -- but they just. -- had too much to drank smoked some whatever too much -- ended up sleeping with the wrong guy and they got regrets today after that's what they were trying to clarify. Not to just use rape as an excuse or just say rape went factor wasn't -- clarify rate console. 8774694322. Gary thanks for holding there on the Howie -- show. And you know we -- clarification. It would seem to me -- -- Republican and -- -- next week would simply get their -- again and we don't want to talk about abortion war because it's distracting from the economy everything else so important to you. It stands right. Or are exactly the same way that it is. Like that's Pebble Beach because right now we are much higher carpet -- the economy. Q and number nation at a any. More public -- -- America like -- -- like an old. Gary make two very good points thank you for that call. I wouldn't even do that I'll be honest with you Mitt Romney's made it very clear he wants to appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court. Look at. -- pro life Republican Party is a winning Republican Party. But the issue is this taught Aiken is one man running in one race and he speaks for himself. This issue and this campaign is not about abortion. It's not about a war on women there isn't a war on women in fact yes -- phrase that there is a war on women. It's Obama's war on women it's Biden's war on women. It's Elizabeth -- war on women. Look you can't feed your family that's a war on you you can't pay your bills that's a war on new. Your mothers your daughters your sister's. If they can't get a job because we're gonna have a massive depression it -- country next year that's is that not an economic war. So my point is very simple if you are actually pro woman if you're actually pro female -- if you're pro America. If you just wanna put food on the table and have a job and not be bankrupt vote for Romney and Ryan it's really that simple. So they drag out this Debbie Wasserman Schultz who can't even probably shampoo or -- they bring her out. And I'm looking at her and I think that's the best you have. And mark my words. Anderson Cooper does not go after every liberal he rarely goes after a liberal. You know what the lives are saying wink wink get rid of this messenger. Because you're going down in November you've got to up your game trust me. The media is in panic because they see Obama is going down. Beverley thanks for holding your on now we car show. Hey I just wanted everyone to know I'm from me and I'm a woman and I am pro choice. And what they need to do is find somebody that has had an abortion. That we claps yeah. So that they can talk to people about why they do not -- to do that. You'll lock up options out there -- to punish the -- -- you make a very good point. You make an excellent point look let me tell you. What is the most effective weapon in the entire pro life campaign if you want it really that you can win this debate overnight. They did it in Austria for two weeks the liberals went crazy had to shut it down. They put posters of a fetus and they say here's the fetus in a woman's -- Here's what happened and literally right besides another poster and here's what happens to a fetus and an abortion. You on -- hit and the game is over when we look at the Holocaust. You can give me a million reasons trumped up reasons why Hitler was supposedly a good leader for Nazi Germany it doesn't matter. You'd because it. Look at there was evil don't get me wrong but you look at -- -- you look at broken ball did you see the pictures. Shots with nazism led to. Boom it's over goodnight Irene but look the bigger issue is this. This is what the Democrats want. They want a fight on these social issues. They don't want Iran on Obama's record they don't want -- Ron on the economy they don't want a run on the debt. And I gotta tell you this look nobody's a bigger pro life for a Catholic and Jeff corner but if for broke. Doesn't matter. Latin America has some of the toughest double probe are anti abortion laws in the country in the world. Who cares when you're that or you can't enforce anything. So if you're bankrupt none of these issues matter and sold this is why I've been saying this for months now. Mitt house to wind. It doesn't matter if you're pro choice if you're pro life. If you're a liberal if you're a conservative if you're a moderate if your old if you're young you're pure white if you're black. If you're bankrupt you're finished. Bankruptcy knows no skin color no gender no not no ideological affiliation as the Greeks. You think you think you're gonna answer all your pro choice it's okay you can keep your home. It's okay yeah you're a woman you can keep your home -- when your bankrupt you or bankrupt. And that's where did dear leader is taking us Jeff corner. Sitting in for how we car on the how we car show will be right back after this break. Welcome back get back Howie Carr show this is Jeff corner from The Washington Times sitting in for that great Howie Carr. If you wanna catch me every day you can from eleven till noon on the corner report. On WR. Although the phone lines are blazing John thanks for holding your -- car show. I did you welcome to -- Pleasure real pleasure John. One candidate Michael Savage is the only member of the national media. Talking about -- the but it tabulation of this election president election will be done by companies not based in America but in Spain and that there are no Americans in this sport in that. -- -- Obama supporters. And he's also said that Hillary Clinton is horrible stockholders. That doesn't quite alarming. Then why -- Republican this is grew. Why did not -- prominent Republicans. Trying to do something about this. Jonathan excellent question I wanna thank you for that call because they're cowards. In fact that company it's -- owned in Spain is in fact. Owned by George Soros so you have a George Soros owned company in Spain that is gonna be responsible for counting the ballots and our election. We're outsourcing everything. There's not just manufacturing jobs we can even now produce our machines that count their own ballots. We have to do that in Spain and it's all by George Soros. You wanna you wired -- but the integrity of the electoral process a -- of George Soros and his cronies be my guess that your country. 87746943220. What are we go to next Chris Scott thanks for holding -- on the how we car show. -- mr. Cohen thank you very much for taking my call -- I don't wanna bring this up again because and so by now you guys -- also -- -- -- what was stolen as a -- but so. When I heard what he said concerning legitimate right they didn't use the word forceful. I thought that I understood it completely. So maybe I'm wrong but I remember back when they were trying to put -- -- cause. Against abortion except in the case of that also among them. And that that could very easily then. Interpreted. Is all this is gonna hurt my mental health and so would have -- -- a lot totally inadequate. And I think that what he was trying to say even noise I'd feel pretty strongly that he willfully did not even understand his -- argument was. It would just be way too easy for a woman to this year all by the way you're pregnant infer or disable by the way I was right. And I think you're right Scott that I wanna thank you for that call. You know you you look I think. He opposes. Abortion in all instances except in the life of the mother and his argument is. I in particular on rape. The baby eve that may have been is is borne out over rate for conceived out of a rape is innocent. So his argument is don't punish debate the -- innocent why would you wanna punish debate. It's a consistent argument it's a principled argument the problem is taught Aiken is not articulate and off to make that argument. And this is why he stepped -- it. It's why he's in big trouble and it's why as I speak to all of you right now it is breaking. News. There is now a new to report coming out. Talk a -- is about to hold a press conference this is now breaking right now is I tell you this so what you what he's gonna say I don't know. Whether he says he's gonna continue to stay in the race or whether he says he's gonna drop out we will find out. I will keep you informed every step of the way stay tuned don't touch that dial. Cutting edge right here I'm not how we car show Jeff corner sitting for Boston's talk radio legend Howie Carr.
