"...you're a socialist whore. I don't want anything to do with you."
How low will Rove--and his brain-dead minions--go?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/11/warren-socialist-charges_n_1089012.html

...At a campaign event in Boston last week, a Tea Party supporter heckled Warren, the Harvard Law professor and consumer activist who is campaigning for Senate. "Well, if you're the intellectual creator of that so-called party," he said, referring to Occupy Wall Street protesters, "you're a socialist whore. I don't want anything to do with you."

...bank lobbyists have been gearing up to combat Warren in the upcoming Senate race. However, Wall Street recognizes that any attack on Warren has to be subtle -- and likely channeled through a super PAC like American Crossroads.

According to the FEC filings, Crossroads claims a number of donors from the financial services industry, including Kenneth Griffin, CEO of Citadel. These are individuals who would likely stand to benefit from keeping Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in office. Although Brown is not always an advocate of Wall Street -- he voted for Dodd-Frank, for example -- he certainly is the lesser of two evils ...Brown's campaign has also seen an influx of cash from the financial industry. His top donors include Fidelity Mutual, Goldman Sachs and Barclays.

Warren's campaign sent out a response to the American Crossroads ad on Thursday afternoon, highlighting the Wall Street connection. "Rove and his Wall Street billionaire buddies have joined together to attack Elizabeth because she stood up to them. She's spent years fighting for the middle class and trying to get accountability for those who broke our economy one lousy mortgage at a time, and they know what they'll be in for if she wins," the campaign said. "That's why they're pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into TV attack ads against Elizabeth all across Massachusetts.

And we're not going to sit back and take it."

Watch the You Tube and tell me whether you’d rather be in a political party with Elizabeth Warren or Sarah Palin.

And, Teabaggers, you’re going to have to do a lot better than “socialist whore.” Hell, we’d put that on a tee-shirt and proudly wear it to town.

In fact, I think I already have one around here somewhere.

That's the true American way. When the Brits tried to make fun of us we "stuck a feather in our caps and called it macaroni."
Nothing blunts and insult more then the insultee embracing it. And that's something our humorless brothers and sisters to the right are totally lacking-a sense of humor.
