Just filthy dumb and racist. When will this party go extinct?

(17,193 posts)Should she run for national office, it will only be worse. Whatever attack can be dug up, they will dig it up, or invent it. And will use the crudest stereotypes available to impart their "message."

So far, most of the extreme stuff ("Shoot all the queers!" has only slipped out "accidentally" from some lower-order politician. But the national politicians are too aware of demographics to attack any group openly -- except women.

(46,416 posts)Half of America claims Cherokee ancestry, it seems, and she IS from Oklahoma originally. It's perfectly plausible that she has that in her family lines.

(4,695 posts)the Government funds the scholarships for free and minorities get to go to college-RWers hate that. The notion of a free education is something that they blow up over just as in this Hate Ad. Warren has often spoken of the fact that what is being wasted on the MIC would pay for every student to have a free education in America. Germany just set up a free college education for its citizens.

The following resources should be used to trace your American Indian ancestry:
Family and tribal records
The Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs
Tahtonka, a Federally prepared guide to the 562 officially recognized Tribal Nations
The Dawes Indian Census Rolls

Basically the reason why they're obsessed with Warren's ancestry is the same as why they're obsessed with Obama's birth certificate. The immature binary thinking of "us" versus "them" that permeates this party. The party of no, the party of heterosexual, middle aged, Christian fundamentalist white guys with fat bank accounts and even fatter egos.
In short, there is no valid "reason" besides GOPers' inability to do so.
We need a Surgeon General to examine them for dementia and possible paranoid schizophrenia. I'm actually only half-kidding here.

I have a cousin whose mother was Native American from Oklahoma. His DNA test did not reflect his Native American origin. Go figure. We don't know why. It's hard to mistake who your mother is. His mother was definitely Native American from Oklahoma.

(14,733 posts)(Edit: by 'it', I'm referring to the notion that Warren 'pretends' to be a Native. I don't know where/when that particular video came out.)
She'd been told by her family that they had Cherokee blood, I think it was, so she listed that on some questionnaire related to time at one of the colleges she attended. Now I can't remember the details, but it seems like it turned out that she either didn't, or else it was something like exactly one ancestor being Native several generations back, such that she was something like 1/32nd or less. So the Repubs wasted inordinate amounts of time attacking her as a 'liar' and a 'hypocrite' because she thought she had more Native ancestry than she did. Apparently she didn't do the genealogy to determine whether or not she did, just accepted what older members of her family had said.

(14,733 posts)in someone who could show all of that crap and then say something about 'How offensive it was for Hollywood to make it decades ago'... and not realize how incredibly offensive it was for THEM to exploit and reuse that footage in their attacks on someone else is just sad. Not incredible, not astounding, just sad. Incredibly typical, really.

(503 posts)...but that ad was actually serious. And it contained emotion. It actually gave you the sads for what Western exploitation over 500 years has done to his once beautiful home.
But this ad? This is just racist and stupid and disgusting and makes me want to fucking vomit.
FUCK YOU, GOP. NO, SERIOUSLY. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU A MILLION WAYS TO SUNDAY. FUCK YOU TO THE POWER OF INFINITY. FUCK YOU UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Did I mention fuck you? Because fuck you. Oh, and by the way, fuck you.

(3,431 posts)EW has become one popular Senator, who has tried to help her colleagues facing this year's election. By now she draws crowds when giving speeches.
Yes, our own DC party does not take her seriously, and the Turd Way despises her;
but the Repugs are taking no chances with her and her rising popularity, hence the smears start even though she is not running yet for
anything, neither her seat nor for 2016.
So, who is smart here? And, of course, it is disgusting, but true to type.
the most idiotic thing I've ever seen. If I were a Republican I'd be embarrassed.
