Crossroads: Elizabeth Warren responsible for bank bailouts

snip: Now, the Karl Rove-linked organization is taking a different tack: In a new ad, which aired in Massachusetts starting Thursday, Crossroads GPS targets Warren for allegedly being beholden to Wall Street.

The 30-second spot, which was part of a $1.1 million dollar ad buy for four ads (concerning various candidates) that will be featured in Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska, features a brief clip of Warren pledging to "be a voice in the room on behalf of middle-class families."

"Really?" asks a narrator following the clip of Warren's remarks. "Congress had Warren oversee how your tax dollars were spent bailing out the same banks that helped cause the financial meltdown. Bailouts that helped pay big bonuses to bank executives while middle-class Americans lost out."

Huffington Post: Ad By Crossroads, Karl Rove's Outfit, Yanked Off Air For Being False
-By Brian McAuliff

November 11, 2011- An ad by Karl Rove-backed Crossroads GPS was yanked from rotation on a Montana cable show because it made claims that the network deemed false.

Recently a number of ads by the well-funded conservative outfit have been declared misleading and false, but the spot targeting Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) is apparently the first pulled from the air. The Associated Press reported that other outlets are still running the ad.

In it, Tester is accused of supporting an Environmental Protection Agency rule -- a rule that was never in fact proposed -- to regulate farm dust. But the vote that the ad cites actually had nothing to do with dust or the EPA; it was a procedural vote on a measure aimed at cracking down on China for manipulating currency.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had hoped to bring up the anti-EPA amendment -- which targeted regulation of soot, not farm dust -- but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) never even let it get to the floor. snip

:applause: would like to see more media cos. take this stand. The co. that refused to run the ad was Cablevision.

4. I Think it's great that bullshit like this.....

gets debunked almost immediately , no wonder the repigs
want to control the internet.

[Jakes Progress]

5. rove targets the stupid.

That way he can say any lying shit and they buy it. Way too many stupid people in the country.

[wordpix]

7. he and his lies should be taken to court

[No Elephants]

20. He should be taken to jail and his lies should be taken to court.

[Jakes Progress]

26. Now, now. Let's move forward. Look to the future.

Let's not dwell on the past. Let bye-gones be bygones. Let treason lie. Let it go. We have our orders - no republican is ever to be held accountable.

[kenfrequed]

28. We have powder to keep dry

And standing up and calling someone out on their lies is never a good idea. Better to be the better person and lose your ass.

[wordpix]

30. +1, too bad Fitzgerald didn't get him, Rove's a scourge on the planet

[certainot]

6. they have 1000 unchallenged radio stations to make it true

that is about the only reason this will actually work to any degree

they need to be challenged

[CBHagman]

8. Link to American Crossroads on YouTube.

This is for the ad itself. There is a comment section as well.

[The Doctor.]

9. Drop a lawsuit on Crossroads and every station that runs that bullshit ad.

This bullshit has to end.

[wordpix]

31. I like that idea, it's slander or libel or both- great way for Elizabeth to get the truth out

and make lots of headlines.

[riderinthestorm]

10. This is Rove's specialty! He LOVES this tactic! nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

25. Attack their strength. Yup. n/t

[bhikkhu]

11. Reminds me how many times we hear Obama is a closet republican

World of lies, twisted to whatever shape serves the purpose...

[hootinholler]

12. There's a subtle difference

Between Ms Warren's behavior and President Obama's.

[bhikkhu]

13. They hold each other in esteem, I have heard

I haven't met either, but they know each other well enough.

[No Elephants]

21. So?

[defendandprotect]

15. Elizabeth Warren could have won the presidency -- 2012

[joshcryer]

17. Indeed, Warren is being held up to a standard she won't be able to meet.

And then the things that she did because the political process is highly demanding of her, will be used against her as proof that she was everything but who she is.

[No Elephants]

22. I agree about expectations. However, holding a candidate to my

expectations is very different from holding a candidate to his or her own words.

The expectations for Warren are way beyond what they should be and what she is saying.

She is a woman of intelligence, integrity and good intentions. That is evident and that is all I expect of her. I disagee that she is anywhere near ready to run for President, though, and I have no idea if she is a liberal or not.

[joshcryer]

29. The thing is, human beings are not 100% capable of controlling their world.

Warren, for example, might make compromises in the future that her constituents would criticize her for, and that is simply not the way you should view her as a person. She's clearly someone who is not a hard liner, but someone who does make statements that sound really good. She's still very open to people, though.

I think she's very much at this point of time where Obama was when he was in this point in the political process.

[Botany]

14. Classic Rove Blame "the other side" for the problem his ....

.... side is supporting. George W Bush went AWOL and John Kerry was a hero in combat so what do you do?
Answer; Swift Boats for truth. Elizabeth Warren wants to work for the people and regulate the banks and Wall Street
so in Rove's mind you have to link Warren to the problems caused by the banks.

[plumbob]

16. Why is this useless waste of skin still sucking our precious air?

People like Rove are why I'm an atheist. No responsible gawd would allow shit like him to prosper.

[brentspeak]

18. Can't Rove and his organization be sued for libel?

[wordpix]

32. hell, why not? I would love that and I'd contribute to that cause

[Demeter]

19. What BS!

Elizabeth wanted them drawn, quartered, and put out of business.

[No Elephants]

23. No one nailed Rove better than Dummay--"Turd blossoom."

Well. turd blossom is whaqt he is for Republicans.

For Democrats, he's just a lying turd.

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. It's profoundly amazing how stupid they think people are.

Bankers gave crossroads GPS $1.1 million to discredit EW by telling voters that she's in their pocket. Sounds logical to me!

[Jakes Progress]

27. It would be nice if they weren't right about so many.
