1. Her “Get on the Bus” ...or make rsvp for seating under the bus.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. You're either on the Bus, or off the Bus.

[boston bean]

10. I'll be off Glenn Becks bus, thank you all! nt

[NYC_SKP]

2. Recommended, kicked for visibility.

[boston bean]

6. Ok, you want what Glenn Beck wants...

The Blaze is his outfit.... You don't think there could be some other reason besides lovin Elizabeth Warren for that article?

[NYC_SKP]

9. Which part of this article do you disagree with?

“After the savings and loans crisis, the government brought over 1,000 criminal prosecutions and got over 800 convictions,” Warren told regulators at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.

However, Warren was irritated by Federal Reserve Gov. Daniel Tarullo’s admission that he had not referred any bank executive to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

Warren believes that convicted Wall Street bankers should spend time behind bars for their role in financial failures and believes that Obama’s “too big to fail” strategy is not a good enough reason to allow them to avoid prison time.

Warren considers banks that are simultaneously so big that a collapse could financially ruin the economy and keep bankers out of jail, as part of the problem.

58. A dream coming true???

If only....

[NYC_SKP]

59. Did you see the MSNBC poll?

Do you plan on voting for Hillary Clinton for president in 2016?

61. Dear NYC.

With the current memes, I feel bless to be a foreign person and not have to chose between the lesser of two evils.

No I didnt see that poll. Thanks!!!

[NYC_SKP]

65. We need to stay friends.

Feel free to send a PM to keep in touch in case one or both of us take an extended break!

66. I already sent you one.

Check your DU mail.

3. What in the living hell is the Blaze being used here for?

Isn't that Glenn Beck's outlet?

[PoliticAverse]

4. Note that The Blaze was founded by Glen Beck.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBlaze

[RedCappedBandit]

5. Would love for her to run, but if she doesn't...

I really don't want her to waste her time as Clinton's VP.

I'd also be very happy never to read another piece by "Susan Knowles" again.

[TBF]

11. Liz won't be VP - she'll stay in the senate

Hillary will choose a younger male VP. We haven't even managed to elect a woman to the VP or Presidential slot. 2 on one ticket is a dream.

[RedCappedBandit]

12. Wouldn't expect her to be..

But I have seen the idea thrown around a bit.. here, rather than shitty right wing rags. Gotta say I'm not too fond of it.

[TBF]

14. I'm not thrilled seeing the Blaze on here either. nt

[trumad]

8. The Blaze?

The fucking Blaze? The fucking Glen Beck Blaze?

Fuck Glen Beck, Fuck the Blaze---and fuck those spout Glen Beck horseshit!

[boston bean]

16. It's an embarassment.. For real, makes me cringe.

[Agschmid]

18. Yup.

Day 20 at Free Republic... coming soon.

[trumad]

53. Oh I'm ready to visit again....

[freshwest]

71. PLEASE DO. I know they're loving us visiting Glennbeckistan and posting his stuff. n/t

[SidDithers]

22. Remeber when DU had standards?...

Remember when alleged liberals and alleged progressives didn't go to the far right wing media to get their smears of Democrats?

I miss the days when moderators would shut down right-wing shit like this.



Sid

[Andy823]

75. +1,000,000 nt

[Fred Sanders]

13. I will click on a Glenn Beck creation when hell freezes over and Fox is off the air.

Are folks really that obtuse...... because of their love of Warren.....to read Beck stuff?

[KittyWampus]

39. I clicked on it, saw some other articles there, clicked on ONE and was really, REALLY SORRY.

ugh.

The comment section.



I had no idea.

Yuck.

[freshwest]

73. Well, desperate times call for desperate resources. n/t

[freshwest]

72. Love is not the emotion in this phenomenon. n/t

[JaneyVee]

15. Rove tactics 101.

Everyone is calling her announcement brilliant and well done, except in wingnut land where they call it unremarkable.

[msanthrope]

62. Rove, who learned his tactics from Donald Segretti, the original ratfucker?

Segretti taught Rove his ratfucking techniques well....was his intern during Watergate.

[freshwest]

76. Oh, yeah, that guy:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110215862

Full circle. And we ain't being paid or profiting in the end.

[SidDithers]

17. Why are you directing us to Glen Beck's website?...

And why the fuck should we care what Glen Beck's organization thinks about Democrats?

Sid

[Omaha Steve]

21. For discussion and entertainment

I'm shocked some people didn't get that by the title including The Blaze.

[boston bean]

23. Well, it has served one purpose... bringing out those who would use his slop

to further their "criticism" of Clinton.

[tkmorris]

37. I don't see ANYONE in this thread agreeing with the article

Which is good because really, fuck the Blaze and fuck Glenn Beck.

[boston bean]

38. really, read upthread. nt

[tkmorris]

55. Huh. Well ok 1 person. I sit corrected.

[boston bean]

57. 2, and you can find more below.

And it at this time has seven recs.

[treestar]

78. What's weird about DU

I too thought OP was being anti-Hillary, because there is so much of that here.

Then again OP could be making fun of Glenn Beck by pointing to his idiocy. But that was secondary thought, which tells me a lot about current DU!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. Can you link us to a critique of the Clinton campaign from The National Review as well?

Thank you in advance...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. Why are you directing us to Glen Beck's website..."

"Why are you directing us to Glen Beck's website when you can just direct us to Rush Limbaugh's?"


FIXED

[Agschmid]

19. Ohhhh look here!

A link to Glenn Beck, woohoo what fun!

[MineralMan]

20. The Blaze? Is This What We've Been Reduced To?

Why are right-wing websites being featured as DU OPs? This is stupid stuff. Glenn Beck? Really? Sorry, but you really need to consider the source before posting.

[sufrommich]

24. The Blaze is "concerned".

[MineralMan]

26. No doubt. Right-wingers should be concerned.

Nothing from that website should appear here. It's always just right-wing propaganda. Always. Glenn Beck? Fuck Glenn Beck and his website!

[sufrommich]

28. Agree. This is just the beginning too. nt

[MineralMan]

33. I hope people will soon refuse to allow right-wing propaganda

to be posted on DU. It's going to be up to juries to hide such threads. Every time they appear, we should make it clear that they are propaganda from right-wing sources. The replies in this thread do that very well.

This kind of stuff is the purest bullshit available. It has no link to the truth or even rational though.

[MADem]

84. Alert on this kind of crap--even if it's already been alerted on.

The admins will get tired of cleaning out their in-boxes. There are a few sites that ought to be "auto blocked" from DU--The fucking BLAZE is one of 'em.

[MineralMan]

88. Yes. I'm doing that.

Mostly with no results, however.

[boston bean]

35. a-yup... get use to it. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Fuck The Blaze...Why bring that right wing bullshit here?

TheBlaze is a monthly Paleolibertarian news magazine published by Mercury Radio Arts and TheBlaze in New York City, New York and circulated throughout the United States. The editor in chief is Scott Baker.

features "exclusive reporting, in-depth features and unique insight and analysis".It is available in two versions, digital and print The digital version is online, from any computer. The print version is mailed by U.S. mail.

What's next ? Simulcasting the Rush Limbaugh show?

[samsingh]

27. what the fuk is the blaze and why are we quoting this?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. It's a paleoliberal magazine affiliated with Glen Beck./NT

[samsingh]

49. our members are quoting beck on du now?

wtf?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

52. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles

Matthew 17:16

[freshwest]

81. Those faux grapes sure are sour, aren't they? n/t

[workinclasszero]

31. The Blaze? Are you f***ing kidding me?

Is this how low the Hillary haters have sunk? Damn, just damn!

I mean, shit if Glen Beck hates you, you must be doing something right.

I can't believe the insanity of so called progressives/leftist getting in bed with Glen Beck because...Hillary!

Well no sense now going to the right wing cesspools of freakrepublic/redstate/stromfront/theblaze/foxnews to see what the reich wing is plotting next.

We can get it right here on DU from "progressives"!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. You just know DSB is bookmarking this thread...

NT

[NYC_SKP]

40. Steve, you're a DU treasure and the people HATE the truth. They want her too badly, they are blind.

They can't argue the merits of the article so they shoot the messenger(s), you and the fact that it's a Glenn Beck site.

BFD.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. We don't hate the truth

We don't hate the truth...We hate biased and slanted arguments from extreme right wing sources : [ /i]

"This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

-Glen Beck

'You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

-Matthew 7-16

Thank you for keeping this abomination of a thread alive because I have no desire to let it go.

[NYC_SKP]

43. Listen, either refute the statements in the article or admit that you can't.

Responding to something written by a different author at a different time only makes you look weak.

Refute this:

“After the savings and loans crisis, the government brought over 1,000 criminal prosecutions and got over 800 convictions,” Warren told regulators at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.

However, Warren was irritated by Federal Reserve Gov. Daniel Tarullo’s admission that he had not referred any bank executive to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

Warren believes that convicted Wall Street bankers should spend time behind bars for their role in financial failures and believes that Obama’s “too big to fail” strategy is not a good enough reason to allow them to avoid prison time.

Warren considers banks that are simultaneously so big that a collapse could financially ruin the economy and keep bankers out of jail, as part of the problem.

Let Hillary go. THIS is the kind of candidate we should get behind:

Where was Hillary???

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. I was referring to her subjective criticism of Hillary's campaign

But keep pushing this guy's website:

"This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture," Beck said. "I don't know what it is."

-Glen Beck

[demmiblue]

41. Unrec for source. n/t

44. Rec for the truth.

56. Better Believe It!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

47. Unrec to linking to this guy's website:

[workinclasszero]

48. Senator Warren would be ashamed

to see her supporters getting in bed with this insane anti american fascist.

I have no doubt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. In their animus toward Hillary Clinton they have become unhinged...

NT

[greatauntoftriplets]

51. The Blaze helped fundraise for the Indiana pizza place that refused to cater gay weddings.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/memories-pizza-indiana-crowdfunding-campaign

They also suggested that Trayvon Martin was a kidnapper or arsonist.

54. Lenin said "to make an omelette you have to break some eggs"

I weep that my African American, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning brothers and sisters are collateral damage in the War On Hillary

[freshwest]

85. ...

[mylye2222]

60. Hey folks, what is the real problem?

Is that the source used by the OP.?

Or is that the content suggesting a Warren candidacy that make you cringe?

[NYC_SKP]

63. Omaha Steve really struck a nerve. THE greatest threat to Clinton is Senator Warren.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is more frightening to Hillary supporters than a real Progressive stepping up.

Now Hillary will probably fuck things up without any help and we'll have a Republican win the GE.

BUT, if Warren comes on, it'll be the end of it, the total end of Hillary Clinton.

All the staged appearances and crappy videos with actors and Scooby Doo Van trips won't put her back together again.

And she'll have to find something else to do.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

67. This guy struck a nerve:

Sad you deem his website a reliable source

[demmiblue]

68. For me, the source.

Giving Glen Beck's site any traffic is vomit-inducing.

A vote for Warren in the general would probably be the proudest moment of my political life (along with a sort-list of other liberal/progressive voices). I wish this would come to pass.

[KMOD]

77. The problem is the author of the article

is a conservative right winger. Very right winger.

There is not one iota of truth or integrity in the article.

Do you believe fox news opinion pieces as well?

[YoungDemCA]

64. What a piece of shit article

nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

69. That's an insult to excrement./NT

[KMOD]

70. I decided to check out the author's radio show website.

Last edited Thu Apr 16, 2015, 02:26 PM - Edit history (1)

The author is a conservative far right winger, who wants to reclaim the country she loves.

Edited by request.

Shame on anybody rec'ing this shit.

[deutsey]

80. I'm not a Hillary supporter

(but I don't bash her either).

With this article and the one I saw earlier today in The Daily Beast by former Scott Walker crony Liz Mair, I'm wondering if these aren't part of a right-wing strategy to drive even more wedges between Clinton and Warren supporters.

If so, we'd be wise to stop circulating articles like these by right wingers.

For the record, btw: I may not support Clinton now, but I will vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016.

[KMOD]

82. I'm not a committed supporter, yet,

I'm waiting to see who else throws their hat in. I just stole Justin's signature picture because I think it's funny as hell.

And yes, posting right winger opinion pieces on DU is probably a poor idea.

[freshwest]

86. The technique has worked since 1972:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110215862

[DemocratSinceBirth]

83. I wish you wouldn't have posted that as some of the denizens of this board will now...

I wish you wouldn't have posted that as some of the denizens of this board will now contribute to her site.

[KMOD]

87. I would certainly hope not.

I didn't link to her site. I'll see if I can edit it to just get the gist across that she's a far right winger.

It's sad that many here relate with a far right winger.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

89. Let's keep our fingers crossed, pardner.

NT

[treestar]

74. "replace?"

Do they know how this works?

[MADem]

79. This is FUCKING DISGUSTING. The BLAZE? REALLY?

We come here to DU to get away from RIGHT WING HACK MEDIA.

The author of that piece is a crazed fundamentalist from the far, far right.

WHY are you bringing this TRASH here? WHY?

Just in case you imagine that this PIECE OF SHIT PUBLICATION somehow "supports" Warren, let me quickly disabuse you of that notion. Here's a link for you--anyone with a tender stomach, don't click: http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2012/05/23/heres-the-worst-defense-of-elizabeth-warrens-imagined-indian-heritage/

SHAME on you. This thread is well outside the TOS. You should delete it, or risk being associated with that disgusting website.
