PROVIDENCE — Elizabeth Warren sought to put U.S. Sen. Scott Brown on defense today, attempting to tie him to former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney and the Republican presidential nominee’s conservative values at a progressive rally where she was warmly welcomed.
“Now if you have any doubt about where the Romney-Brown Republicans stand just consider this: the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, has said he would repeal all financial reform,” she said. “The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, said corporations are people. No Mitt, corporations are not people. ... Learn the difference.” ...
Warren’s assault against Romney — who shares a chief strategist with Brown — signaled that Warren was back on offense and targeting bigger game.
She received a standing ovation from the left-leaning crowd and spoke with a scratchy voice which she attributed to “parities.”
Warren spoke at a noontime panel sponsored by Netroots Nation regarding the so-called Republican war on women.
The friendly territory also allowed Warren to rally her troops, telling them the recent issues with her purported Native American heritage won’t keep her down.
“Let me be clear, I am not backing down. ... I need the people of Netroots Nation. I’m counting on you for your help,” she said.
But she did not escape unscathed. A woman approached her after her speech and yelled, “Do you consider yourself a role model for minorities?”
Warren did not answer.

Huh?
Hmmm, guess Liz is on the warpath.
. Fauxcahontus Warren is probably spending too much time inhaling the peace pipe.
Ms. Warren:
can you tell us if your adult children used the native American ploy for college and grad school admissions, scholarships, and job hiring preference?
reminds me of those who say “Jews are not people”. Um, if corporation are not people, then what is it? A chair, a building? How do you tax a chair?
Parities, an old Indian word that means VD of the throat, caused by effing yourself by speaking lies.
I believe it was said she attended this instead of a funeral for a police officer killed in the line of duty. Brown did attend the funeral though.
She should rest her scratchy voice by giving all campaign speeches via smoke signals.
Then you, Fauxcahontas, will be the first to declare and introduce legislation that there should be no corporate tax, correct? No taxation without representation....

>>During this week’s Netroots Nation conference, Anne Sorock of Legal Insurrection asked a defender of the embattled Elizabeth Warren about the Senate candidate’s self-described American Indian status and was promptly called a racist by the left...Now, despite heavy criticism and apology demands from numerous nations — including the maligned Cherokee who researched Warren’s ancestry back 188 years and found no connections to indigenous Americans — Elizabeth Warren refuses. For Kos panelists to accuse Sorock of “racism” in light of this is the height of hypocrisy.
It’s offensive that surrogates for the woman whose ancestors were responsible for helping round up Cherokee (including my documented ancestors, one of whom died on the trail) claim she is a victim of racism when questioned about the discrepancy. If Sorock is racist for asking that Warren own up to her tall tale, what does that make the Cherokee who have requested the same thing and researched Warren’s background? Will Daily Kos call the Cherokee racist? Will Democrats throw another indigenous nation under the bus?
Warren falsely laid claim to a heritage because she thought it made her look exotic. She bragged about it and exploited it for employment and attention befitting affirmative action. She filled forms out listing her ethnicity as “Cherokee” for such attention.
Maybe she said parakeets?
to recycle an old joke:
Liz’s husband was driving home when he picked up a hitch hiking Indian. The Indian gestures to the paper-bag wrapped bottle on the seat and asked ‘what’s that’
‘oh that’s just a bottle of wine I got for my wife’ said Liz’s husband
‘Good trade’ said the Indian
My impression is that she blows smoke every time she speaks.
So she’s broken out the war paint, huh?
One of her ancestors was a parrot.
Hi how are yah Hi how are yah
That’s true. While Warren was at the Netroots Nation, Scott Brown and Gov. Patrick were at a policeman’s funeral.
Shows what her priorities are.
More info on the policeman’s funeral.

Just because she’s offensive doesn’t mean “she’s back on offense”.
Have any of her brothers used it?
And if not, why not?

“recent issues” - oh....you mean where she’s lying and stealing.....

Great video.

The Massachusetts Democrats speak......
“Yes, we know Lizzie Warren is a liar and a thief, but we’re hoping that means she’ll take bribes, too.”
Lizzie is “targeting bigger game”?......ohhhhh....where’s the outrage for using this kind of language?

Actually, since the recognition of corporations as having civil rights, during the Lincoln administration, the idea of corporate civil rights has come to dominate business law; but in the process has created a major problem in the law.
That is, corporations do need rights, lest they be abused by state and local governments, but these rights must be separate and distinct from civil rights that exist only for human beings.
Constitutionally, civil rights are natural, “inalienable”, and “endowed by the creator”; but corporations are unnatural things, created by government. Thus they do not, or at least should not have “natural rights” but only statutory rights. And they do need statutory rights.
The timing was just wrong, however. Lincoln and the civil war resulted in the 14th Amendment, that among other things gave the power to the federal government to enforce federal law over states that were abusive to their citizens, and clarifying federal supremacy. But when corporate civil rights were created this authority did not exist.
And yet even today the 14th Amendment provides a remedy.
By act of congress, while corporations would continue to be licensed by the individual states, they would also be given statutory “rights”, that all states would have to abide and include in their licensing agreements.
But these rights would be determined by acts of congress and the courts, and would not be comparable to civil rights.
Is the Herald a conservative paper?
I went through the first four pages of comments and didn’t see one in support.
I think it’s a Cherokee disease.
You beat me to it. Your take’s much better.
‘corporations are not people’
Apparently this knowledgeable woman has never heard of Subchapter S Corporations.
Also- how does any corporation keep alive without PEOPLE???
Maybe she thinks a ‘stockholder’ is a person who stands in the arena at a county fair or a horse show?????
It’s the kinda conservative paper in town, as opposed to the Boston Globe (separately owned but Herald is printed on Globe presses for many editions). The Globe has gotten a lot of anti-Warren comments in all this, too.
A liberal owner of a small radio station said to me he hoped Sen. Sanders (Commie-VT) could pass a bill to get rid of the
regulation that allowed corporations to run political ads on TV. I pointed out to him that such a bill/law would not just prohibit corporations, but also UNIONS from advertising.
His response: oh that’s OK, the big corporations are the ones causing the problems. (In other words he’d sacrifice the ability for unions to advertise to drag down the corporations from doing so.)

It's a rare disease caused by e-coli, when you have your head up your ass!
That is what I remember, but that was nearly 50 years ago. “The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, said corporations are people. No Mitt, corporations are not people. ... Learn the difference.” ...

The Rebel Yell is just a modified Cherokee war whoop.
I’m sure she’s torn.
Independants in Massachusetts are a larger than the Democrats and Republicans combined. She doesn’t have a message for them. She can go on rallying the progressives all she wants, but I expect Brown to target the independants more aggressively.
