Elizabeth Warren is really pissing off Wall Street and their pro-plutocrat allies in the right-wing media.

After a video of Warren talking about the deficit and the social contract went viral last week (see above), Rush Limbaugh, the Fiscal Times and Rich Lowrey all spent time attacking her. Now, Lowrey has decided to spend another column going after her, and places like the Daily Caller and Reason have piled on. There is also this gem from right-wing blog Wizbang:

Quote:
When I hear the word “contract” I reach for my revolver think of two unique definitions — formally, a legally binding mutual agreement made between two or more parties, or idiomatically, an attempt to hire an assassin to kill one or more of your enemies.
Daily Kos: Right-wing blog on Elizabeth Warren's viral video: 'I reach for my revolver'


What a disgusting and brainwashed individual operating with a herd of sheep's mindset!

Quote:
We need to get her back in the face of these attacks. &Please, join with Daily Kos and CREDO Action by signing our petition thanking Elizabeth Warren for speaking the truth. She needs to know—and those who might follow in her footsteps need to know—that we stand with her in this fight.

Sign the petition to urge Warren to continue to speak her mind...

Thank you, Elizabeth Warren!

Is she saying that Corporations and the people who work in then don't pay taxes?
Then what is the message she is putting forward here? The message is nothing, she is saying nothing and the lefties are swooning.

funny that a crossed-out 'reach for my revolver' phrase by some low-level blogger produces such rage amongst the 'bots, yet the president of the US saying 'if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun' produces no such frenzy.

selective outrage, anyone?

Downright disgusting. Can the hatefilled right ever not incite using violence?
