Rove Ad Against Elizabeth Warren...Thanks for the Help, Karl!
bylynne1Follow

Has anyone else seen the new ad by Karl Rove's American Crossroads attacking Elizabeth Warren? I did, this morning, and all I could do was think: thanks, Karl Rove...?

The ad hits Warren about her support for the Occupy movement (and talking about her contribution to the seeds of the movement, the idea that the middle class and the American dream have been under attack, something Warren has been fighting against for decades). The ad labels the movement as socialist/radical/yadda yadda yadda.

Is Karl Rove aware that he's running the ad in Massachusetts? I'm just wonderin'. Maybe he's getting senile in his old age. And he is aware, I have to assume, of the polling that shows more Americans support Occupy than not? Or that 2/3rds agree that income inequality needs to be addressed and the system as it is is not fair? The numbers are likely a lot higher in MA, since, as we keep getting reminded (by the "red speck" who's running for President, if nothing else) that our state is one of the most liberal in the union.

If I were Scott Brown, I'd beg Karl to please...stop helping.

1. I predict that'll backfire. n/t

2. 2010 was their power play, or last gasp

And it pretty much has failed. I think their destructive approach isn't being embraced as the public in general wants a balanced, harmonious approach.

3. that's awesome...

awesomely out of touch

4. I would come back with pictures of a whole mess of bankers

and say Scott Brown, tool of the bankers...

8. OWS = ON WARRENs SIDE

she is for jobs, Scott held his vote until he got concessions in favor of banking interests. Then he voted against Obamas job bills. Rove is worried that Elizabeth may become a OWS icon for their cause. She was OWS before it was defined as a movement for Main Street against Wall St. abuse of middle class.

9. most of the swiftboating will be done on local RW radio, and as usual, her supports won't know it

later in the campaign the national blowhards will jump on. they've already taken a lot of free pot shots at her.

just as they helped elect brown, with little notice from dems.

10. PS rove ties her to OWS, which is getting daily attacks on local and national radio, with no counte

counter protests from OWS.

in many communities, like i heard in denver, the local blowhards take free potshots at the protests and protestors all day long, intimidate the local govs, and egg on and excuse cops.

where appropriate, OWS protests need to include RW radio stations, which are one of the main reasons we're in this mess. and protests there cannot be more pointed- everything OWS protestors are against are sold daily by wall street and think tanks on RW radio.

BTW- limbaugh parent radio station is WABC, right near Penn Station in NY.....

11. Tea Party isn't too fond of Brown,but won't challenge him

he is too popular in Mass repug party. Elizabeth is becoming better known not just locally but nationally.
She is in the right state; Rush's audience isn't so much in Mass. When she speaks people listen, not an airhead.
Soon I expect OWS will be naming and fighting the middle and lower class oppressors by opposing them in 2012 regardless of party.
