To be fair, this only really hurts Warren and not the Democrats in general. If anything it helps them because she effectively took herself out of the running to be the party's presidential nominee.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostFalse. Reporters several years back did extensive research into this including interviewing her various employers etc. At no point in her career did she ever claim minority status for advantages, nor was it on her CV, nor were her employers aware of it at the time they employed her. They employed her because she was one of the best law professors in the country, not because they thought her native american.
It is the idiotic right-wing who made absurd claims about this. What happened was at some point she was listed on a website as a member of the faculty who had some native american ancestry. When the right-winger running against her did opposition-research he trumpeted this claim in the media and claimed it was false. Warren's Republican brothers however attested that Warren was not making this up and they were all told this by their parents, and the DNA test now suggests this was correct. Trump, being the idiot he is, took the issue to new and racist heights calling her "Pocahontas" regularly as he mocked the idea she had any native american descent whatsoever. Now her DNA test shows she has been truthful about the matter, and the moronic right, once again, is 100% wrong. The idiots in this thread can't admit that to themselves though.
And of course she used it for advantages.
Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory.
She had to make a conscious decision to list herself as a native american minority in the Association of American Law Schools. Why do it if not for advantages. Not to mention she has mentioned her heritage over and over throughout her career.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostOh, I remember him doing that too. It doesn't change the fact he hemmed and hawed and then finally actually said something meaningful - only when pushed. Only when it looked like he'd lose more support not rejecting the endorsement that he would gain by remaining silent.
The point at the time was this: Duke endorsed him. And he refused to reject the endorsement publicly. With an endorsement from someone like Duke, something said in the past* means nothing. it must be rejected, and it must be rejected very soon after the endorsement or you've implicitly told his (Duke's) followers you are with them. Any delay at all is acceptance of their pat on the back. Because they know anyone they endorse has to publicly reject them eventually. But by delaying the endorsement as long as he did, he implicitly accepts their endorsement. It's just how it is.
And that is not even slightly surprising.

*not to mention the fact one of his earliest tactics was to ask who David Duke was. So you really can't have it both ways MM. If he disavowed him in the past, he knew who he was when he endorsed him and asking "who is Duke" was a delay tactic or outright lie. If he didn't know who he was, then he would not have been able to disavow him in the past.

So if Trump takes a DNA test and finds out he has a black ancestor 10 generations back, can he call himself the 2nd Black President?*
*better yet, his mother was a woman, so he can call himself the first woman president!

And in MassachusettsOriginally posted by rogue06 View PostThe MSM is focused on reporting on death threats made against Ford while for the most part ignoring those made against Kavanaugh and his family. And when they are mentioned the wording used is often starkly different. For instance on ABC Ford received "death threats" where Kavanaugh merely "received threats and hateful e-mails."
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), who's vote is often seen as a swing vote and is under tremendous pressure from women's groups to oppose Kavanaugh since he was nominated, has mentioned that she too has received numerous death threats as well.
In response to Collin's statement, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) mocked and belittled her experience by sneering "Boo hoo hoo." Swalwell has since apologized saying his statements were "stupid." You think?
You would think Swalwell would have been a bit less cavalier considering that just a little over a week ago Swalwell's Republican opponent, Rudy Peters, was assaulted by a knife-wielding attacker near a vendor's booth at the Castro Valley Fall Festival after the attacker began screaming profanity-laced remarks about the Republican party and Trump and repeatedly shouting "I'll kill you" as he attacked. Fortunately Ford was able to fend of the attacker using one of his election signs. The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, ran off but was later arrested and charged with felony assault, making criminal threats and brandishing a weapon.
This is just one of a growing list of Republican politicians being physically attacked in a little over the past year. Here are a few aside from the knife attack on Peters:
In June of last year we had the shooting at the baseball field in Washington D.C. by James Hodgkinson, a left wing activist, MSNBC News junkie (notorious for the vitriol directed at Republicans and conservatives) and Bernie Sanders campaign worker who frequently expressed his hatred toward Republicans[1]. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) was in critical condition for several days as a result of the shooting and was hospitalized for 6 weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) was attacked from behind in his backyard resulting in five rib fractures including 3 displaced fractures as well as lung contusions as he was mowing his lawn by Rene Boucher, a neighbor and supporter of the far-left Occupy movement and who's Facebook account is full of anti-Trump rants.
Rep. David Kustoff (Tennessee) was nearly run off the road by a stalker, Wendi Wright, who was angry about his vote to repeal and replace Obamacare. She then confronted him when he pulled over screaming, striking the windows on Kustoff's car and even reaching inside the vehicle before finally leaving. She was later arrested after boasting of the confrontation on Facebook and charged with felony reckless endangerment.
The MSM has either downplayed or ignored most of these and other actual attacks (the baseball shooting being the notable exception) while constantly bemoaning how Trump's rancorous rhetoric may some day lead to violence. The fact is that, as can be seen above, the venomous rhetoric spewed from the left in a near constant stream has already led to violence. "Comedians" and other "entertainers" have a long and sordid history of making "jokes" or producing songs and the like advocating violence against Republican leaders. And with few exceptions the left rallies in their defense.
And you also have Democrat politicians like Mad Max Waters (D-California) demanding that people "push back" against Republicans, calling for in-your-face confrontations as well as encouraging people to mob and harass Trump Administration officials.
Of course aggressive rhetoric of this sort is nothing new and Trump is hardly the first president to employ some. The last occupant of the White House, Barrack Obama was known to employ more than his share of it, saying things like
- "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
- "argue with your neighbors. Get in their face."
- "Punch back twice as hard."
Well... this little rant kinda went off on a tangent
1. before the shooting he asked if those out on the field were Republicans or Democrats

"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman
