Lefty media rushes to puff up Elizabeth Warren
Boston Herald ^ | August 27, 2019 | Howie Carr

Posted on 08/28/2019 6:02:57 AM PDT by billorites

Want to write a puff piece about the fake Indian, Elizabeth Warren?

Take a ticket!

It used to be that the Boston Globe practically had a monopoly on slobbering, unctuous flattery of the erstwhile Native American, the first woman of color at Harvard, emeritus.

It wasn’t enough for the Boring Broadsheet to pretend that the New England Historical and Genealogical Society hadn’t busted her melanin-impaired grift, or to peddle fake statistics about her scam DNA test. No, the bow-tied bumkissers also penned hagiographies of her dead dog (Otis), her new dog (Bailey) and her campaign headquarters in Charlestown (complete with a cameo appearance by Bailey).

But the Globe is one busy Democrat fanzine these days, what with having to break out the pom-poms for, among others, Ed Markey (he may be a doddering old fool, but he’s our doddering old fool), JoJoJo Kennedy (look, a Kennedy! And he has red hair!), and of course Seth Moulton (America’s loss is Essex County’s gain, or something).

So when it comes to open and gross cheerleading for Lieawatha, there’s an open lane, and boy, are the Democrat operatives with press passes rushing to fill the void.

The thesis is that Fauxcahontas is, well, thoughtful and substantive, plus you always have to mention, as the New Republic gushed, “her passion, her intellect and her lack of artifice.”

Here’s how Lieawatha’s thoughtful, substantive policies work: Bernie Sanders goes in front of some whining group of self-proclaimed victims demanding handouts, and promises them, say, $10 trillion.

So the fake Indian follows and says, I’ll raise you, Bernie – how’s $20 trillion in handouts sound?

This is what passes for thoughtful substance in the Democrat party these days. Where’s the bunco squad when you need them?

Many of these love-struck mash notes to the fake Indian are appearing in magazines that you assumed had gone out of business long ago. Like, for instance, GQ.

Here is GQ’s recent swooning description of the fake Indian: “Tall and wiry … she’s got that kind of pert friendliness stretched taut around a core of steel … both the chipper façade and the steel guts feel genuine.”

Steel? Surely the lovestruck scribe meant to say, “steal,” as in, “stealing some Native-American’s birthright, twice.”

And by the way, how exactly do “guts” feel? Especially “steel guts?” But wait, there’s more.

“She is a very nice lady who will put up with exactly zero bullcrap.”

Speaking of bullcrap, as embarrassingly awful as all of the above is, there’s even worse “coverage” of the fake Indian out there.

See, as worthless as magazines like GQ and New Republic have become, newspaper theater critics are even more irrelevant. I mean, theater? Who gives a bleep? And do you know who knows that better than anyone — newspaper theater critics, although I had no idea the species still existed.

But it turns out that the Washington Post sent out its “theater critic,” someone named Peter Marks, to review a speech by Fake-agawea in Tempe, Ariz. Guess what — he out-Globed the Globe.

Let’s go straight to it:

“Warren has a gift for infusing a call to action with raw, clarifying emotionality … the centrifugal emotional force of a potent soliloquy. …The vocal modulation. The oratorical rhythm. The instinct for a good story. She’s got the ingredients for a magnetic performance. And she delivers … a polished act of seduction … seductive … a holistic mission … gesturally graceful … one exuberant young man in the first row was clapping so ferociously, I thought his hands would bleed.”

I think my eyes are about to start bleeding. Does this ink-stained ham have to pay damages to Roget’s Thesaurus for the abuse of all their adjectives? He also sorely needs to attend a meeting of Adverbs Anonymous. One adverb is too many, and a thousand are not enough.

“Warren has a fully evolved performance style, one that binds her roll-up-her-sleeves biography –”

Surely he meant to say her check-the-box biography.

“… powerfully and fluidly to her average, working person’s philosophy. In a grittily poetic way, her spiel is akin to that of a folksy troubadour: She is the Springsteen of campaign 2020.”

Uh-oh, every reader familiar with this sort of pretentious, Ivy League-infused tripe knows exactly what tired cliché comes after a reference to the terminally overrated Springsteen.

And yes, here it is: Fraudazuma is a … “rock star.”

Somewhere, even the likes of Mike Barnicle and Kevin Cullen are averting their eyes from this embarrassing … bullcrap. Somewhere, in a cheese shop in Harvard Square, Bailey the dog howls in pain and disbelief. Ugh.

Same technique they used with Obama. Obama’s past was never investigated and only positive news was published or broadcast. There will be no mention of her bizarre ancestry claims, how she profited personally, critical appraisal about the cost and nature of her socialist proposals or the destructive effect or her open borders policies.

Native American: Elizabeth Warren’s Ancestors Complicit in Cherokee Oppression Cherokee Nation citizen and activist urges 2020 Dem to ‘tell the truth’ about her family By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 24th August 2019 @ 6.00pm

In 1836, Warren’s great-great-great-grandfather, a white man named William Marsh, enlisted himself in a Tennessee militia to fight in the “Cherokee War,” an occupation of Cherokee land in the lead-up to the Trail of Tears.Decades later, his grandson John Houston Crawford moved his family onto Indian Territory and squatted on Cherokee land in a move that, with no record of a permit, was almost certainly illegal.

The Crawfords were just some of the tens of thousands of white squatters who outnumber Cherokees on our own land. While Cherokee Nation beseeched Congress to enforce our treaty rights and kick them out, the squatters pushed Congress to divide up our treaty territory and create a path to white land ownership; the squatters won.

The intersection between GQ readers and anyone who doesn’t already support Warren who might be swayed by such ridiculous puffery is a null set.

Some one needs to report Peter Marks to the #MeToo folks.
What a warm, soapy shower of drivel.

Well...you might need to know that Crockajawea is a common scold and termagant with a volcanic temper and a snappish knuckle rapping demeanor, with an expression that would sour cream.

Which PDJT is going to use to play her like a cathouse piano when they square off at the debates.

BTW, Lieawatha dissed Hillabitch for allowing Trump to invade her personal space; there should be some real fireworks if PDJT starts tap dancing toward the fake Indian.

Elizabeth Warren is the candidate for people who think that the trail of tears (along which Warren’s ancestors drove the Cherokee) didn’t punish the Indians enough. They should be bilked out of educational, professional, and political opportunities today.

I don’t just use this on the internet. I make her supporters wear this in public. Its fun to do, but there are damned few Elizabeth Warren supporters around here since there is such a large Choctaw population.

Man I wish I could make her their nominee.

…the centrifugal emotional force of a potent soliloquy…

Apparently the writer doesn't know that centrifugal force makes everything move away from you.
