Debbie Wasserman Schultz - Chair of the DNC - says she's unaware of Obama's kill list and treats the idea of its existence like a truther conspiracy.

The article accurately summarizes that exchange thusly:

Just marvel at this stunning, completely inexcusable two-minute display of wholesale ignorance by this elected official and DNC chair. Here she is after the second presidential debate being asked by Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change about the "kill list" and whether Romney should be trusted with this power. She doesn't defend the "kill list". She doesn't criticize it. She makes clear that she has never heard of it and then contemptuously treats Rudkowski like he is some sort of frivolous joke for thinking that it is real.

So is the chair of the DNC completely ignorant of the issue or is she blatantly lying about it? Either is so completely shameful, that it's hard to say which is worse. But that she can act like that says something about the level of awareness of it among Democrats either way, doesn't it?

Here's a funny, though far less serious version of the same:

It looks like you can inject the DNC chair comfortably into those interviews.

I vote the latter, by the way. Stay classy Democratic party.

Here's an example of Obama being questioned by a local journalist about his kill list:

I linked it through a Young Turks vid as they are a popular leftwing source. What's remarkable about this, besides a local reporter having the balls to turn what Obama likely expected was puff-piece questions into something legitimate, is how rare that kind of thing is.

Damn.

Is there any possibility that the left will rise up on this issue once Obama is reelected? Is it possible that they're avoiding it out of fear of losing the presidency?
