I hope your comment was meant to be humorous and nothing more. Otherwise, 'Doc", it shows a complete lack of concern for the Democratic process and freedom of speech. If a Senator or Congressman is silenced, what chance do you or I have ?

This new administration would love nothing better than to control every word that is spoken in America. No criticism of the new leader, no discussions about anything they do wrong, and, of course, we must silence those damn news people ! When I see things like this, something someone wrote a long time ago comes to mind:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


This^^^^^ is why so many of us are speaking out right now. We are not going to let them come for you.

There was proof that Rachel Dolezal wasn't black. There is no proof that Elizabeth Warren lied, so the two don't compare!

You have yet to offer a single thing that Warren stated that was slanderous other than childish labels. Maybe you should read CSK's letter and tell me what is at issue, it must be something rather large to be the 2nd senator in history to be rebuked.

She broke the rules, was caught and warned, and then the Senate voted against her.

Complain to them about it if you don't like it.

Even the Democrats didn't support her.

It seems that no one likes the fake Indian

Dear,

The entire US Senate voted on the matter and they voted against Pocahontas.

This includes 5 Democrat Senators who did not vote to restore her to the floor.

Oh and btw, Elizabeth Warren grew up in a poor household. She was not born with a silver spoon

Agan, I didn't "call names." I accurately characterized Trump supporters as hypocrites and cowards, because it's apt.

Of course, no cowardly, hypocritical Trump supporter would EVER use racial slurs or call names, hurl insults, etc. So.good to know they will always rise above that sort of thing.

Hypocrites.

Everyone knows it -- including her defenders.

She cheated by using her "Native heritage" to get hired by Harvard.

Harvard hired her only because she was a "Native American" and a woman.

Harvard won't admit this, but it's true.

So you can't answer the most simple question about her removal from the floor so now it's on to your rant of "she's not an Indian".


Tell me why Cruz wasn't silenced when he called McConnell a liar on the senate floor, I would expect that constitutes slander, how did he escape?

Apparently the rules allow for such a move by mcconnel.


Imagine that! The legislative body has such rules.


MMc didn't make it up, he simply used the rules. Now if the media was not a propaganda machine, they would have silenced EW by taking her rambling nonsense apart in editorials. Alas and alack, EW is on the edge of a breakdown.


MMc should have let her hang herself on her own merit, maybe even prod her to new heights of false indignation to a point where she loses her mind.


Harry reid did the same thing, silencing dems and repubs and necessary agrument.


Obama silenced generals and cia reports to fit his narrative.
