DNC Chair Demagogues, Calls Ryan Budget ‘Tornado’

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued for demagogic attacks on Paul Ryan’s budget in Florida earlier today. The Palm Beach Post reports:

Ratcheting up the rhetoric on the eve of Vice President Joe Biden‘s visit to a South Florida senior community, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz today likened Republican Medicare proposals to “a tornado through America’s nursing homes.” …
Said Wasserman Schultz: “The Romney-Ryan budget would be devastating to seniors and older Americans. It is a Republican path to poverty that would pass like a tornado through America’s nursing homes where millions of America’s seniors receive long-term and end-of-life care.”

Of course, tornadoes are deadly. As the National Weather Service details,  at least 55 Americans have died this year from “killer tornadoes”:

Is Wasserman Schultz actually saying that Paul Ryan’s budget would kill senior citizens?

In 2009, then congressman Alan Grayson, also a Democrat from Florida, said, “The Republicans have a back up plan in case you do get sick … This is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly!”

Is the DNC chair now utilizing the same sort of political rhetoric Grayson was known for before he lost his reelection bid in 2010?
