Elizabeth Warren on attack at progressive gathering
Boston Herald ^ | 6/9/12 | Hillary Chabot

Posted on 06/09/2012 6:49:30 AM PDT by raccoonradio

PROVIDENCE — Elizabeth Warren sought to put U.S. Sen. Scott Brown on defense today, attempting to tie him to former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney and the Republican presidential nominee’s conservative values at a progressive rally where she was warmly welcomed.

“Now if you have any doubt about where the Romney-Brown Republicans stand just consider this: the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, has said he would repeal all financial reform,” she said. “The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, said corporations are people. No Mitt, corporations are not people. ... Learn the difference.” ...

Warren’s assault against Romney — who shares a chief strategist with Brown — signaled that Warren was back on offense and targeting bigger game.

She received a standing ovation from the left-leaning crowd and spoke with a scratchy voice which she attributed to “parities.”

Warren spoke at a noontime panel sponsored by Netroots Nation regarding the so-called Republican war on women.

The friendly territory also allowed Warren to rally her troops, telling them the recent issues with her purported Native American heritage won’t keep her down.

“Let me be clear, I am not backing down. ... I need the people of Netroots Nation. I’m counting on you for your help,” she said.

But she did not escape unscathed. A woman approached her after her speech and yelled, “Do you consider yourself a role model for minorities?”

Warren did not answer.

. Fauxcahontus Warren is probably spending too much time inhaling the peace pipe.

Ms. Warren:

can you tell us if your adult children used the native American ploy for college and grad school admissions, scholarships, and job hiring preference?

Parities, an old Indian word that means VD of the throat, caused by effing yourself by speaking lies.

I believe it was said she attended this instead of a funeral for a police officer killed in the line of duty. Brown did attend the funeral though.

She should rest her scratchy voice by giving all campaign speeches via smoke signals.

Then you, Fauxcahontas, will be the first to declare and introduce legislation that there should be no corporate tax, correct? No taxation without representation....

>>During this week’s Netroots Nation conference, Anne Sorock of Legal Insurrection asked a defender of the embattled Elizabeth Warren about the Senate candidate’s self-described American Indian status and was promptly called a racist by the left...Now, despite heavy criticism and apology demands from numerous nations — including the maligned Cherokee who researched Warren’s ancestry back 188 years and found no connections to indigenous Americans — Elizabeth Warren refuses. For Kos panelists to accuse Sorock of “racism” in light of this is the height of hypocrisy.

It’s offensive that surrogates for the woman whose ancestors were responsible for helping round up Cherokee (including my documented ancestors, one of whom died on the trail) claim she is a victim of racism when questioned about the discrepancy. If Sorock is racist for asking that Warren own up to her tall tale, what does that make the Cherokee who have requested the same thing and researched Warren’s background? Will Daily Kos call the Cherokee racist? Will Democrats throw another indigenous nation under the bus?

Warren falsely laid claim to a heritage because she thought it made her look exotic. She bragged about it and exploited it for employment and attention befitting affirmative action. She filled forms out listing her ethnicity as “Cherokee” for such attention.

to recycle an old joke:

Liz’s husband was driving home when he picked up a hitch hiking Indian. The Indian gestures to the paper-bag wrapped bottle on the seat and asked ‘what’s that’

‘oh that’s just a bottle of wine I got for my wife’ said Liz’s husband

‘Good trade’ said the Indian

My impression is that she blows smoke every time she speaks.

One of her ancestors was a parrot.

That’s true. While Warren was at the Netroots Nation, Scott Brown and Gov. Patrick were at a policeman’s funeral.

Shows what her priorities are.

More info on the policeman’s funeral.

Just because she’s offensive doesn’t mean “she’s back on offense”.
