143. What part of her own bio are you still arguing against

Tue Jun 17, 2014, 05:03 PM

Jun 2014

when somebody brings out the evil she has done (which she has not done) you can argue about this. But seriously, this is a negative that has been known for a while.

I have to conclude in your mind she is pure as driven snow... 30 years in the public light, there will be negatives... that is just reality and she wrote that negative herself.

And I am not sending you on a wise chase... but I can see, I was hoping it was a late comer...

You have not been paying attention. That is my only conclusion at this point. And if you get this sensitive over something that is well whipped, I wonder how you will react with new stuff? I have always suspected something you have confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. For that I pity you. Serious, I do.

Do not read Sharlet before you read this.

http://www.amazon.com/The-True-Believer-Movements-Perennial/dp/0060505915

It is a classic and you seriously need to read it.

And with that, have a wonderful day. I really am done wasting my time with a true believer.

EW is not going to run against Hillary.....stop dreaming.....she is friends with HRC! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #41

Funny, you just said you weren't supporting any candidate. n/t. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #52

Good one!! SkyDaddy7 Jun 2014 #195

Untrue about Maddow and irrelevant about her endorsements. JackRiddler Jun 2014 #17

and who is he? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #40

You have no reason to assume she'd back HRC in the primaries. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #48

It doesn't matter who Maddow backs. JackRiddler Jun 2014 #118

She should not be supporting any one individual candidate SheilaT Jun 2014 #20

She doesnt and neither do I. I vote for whoever wins the Primary..... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #43

I would imagine she can support whoever she chooses to at any point treestar Jun 2014 #56

If she does, I would lose respect for her too. It would mean she has sold out. sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #49

Thank you, Ken Demeter Jun 2014 #3

Based on her history, she will always resist calls to repudiate, apologize, or admit error. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #5

I see the same personality flaw and strategic flaw and agree Demeter Jun 2014 #6

Has Warren "repudiated" voting Republican? KittyWampus Jun 2014 #11

I think that's what you could call everything she's done since 2011. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #14

Warren also needs to address her Republican past. Sorry. Were you around during Reagan? Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #28

OK, I respect what you're saying there Ken Burch Jun 2014 #32

All due respect Ken, equal rights under the law IS in economic issue. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #35

Fine-ALL potential candidates should be vetted-and all should be anti-homophobia. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #46

No, the thread is not about Warren, but in this thread and all others Nay Jun 2014 #57

Not my intent here at all. n/t. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #80

I'm on your side, Ken. The issue you bring up in your OP is a valid one, Nay Jun 2014 #85

Yes, she left the Party and became a Democrat. She repudiates their economic policies sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #51

The sad part is in 2008 it made all the sense in the world nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #64

why should she? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #44

Do you do anything but snipe? bobduca Jun 2014 #61

I tell the truth you call it sniping. But i dont blame you......I would lash out to if i was about VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #63

Your posts here sound way too arrogant and demanding. That tone won't help HRC. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #81

can she afford to "break faith" with The Family? frylock Jun 2014 #93

If you hear... doxydad Jun 2014 #4

du rec. xchrom Jun 2014 #7

One Begets The Other cantbeserious Jun 2014 #8

She's a member still? Well Warren VOTED REPUBLICAN. She WAS A REPUBLICAN. KittyWampus Jun 2014 #10

Warren has zero to do with Hillary and the Family. morningfog Jun 2014 #12

Pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the loudest whingers is my point. KittyWampus Jun 2014 #15

So you don't want Hillary, but defend her association morningfog Jun 2014 #18

Maybe she'll draw you a map of her position. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #19

I found one. progressoid Jun 2014 #21

Have I defended Hillary's pandering? No. And I'd love to hear someone ask her KittyWampus Jun 2014 #45

OK, about this Warren thing-- Jackpine Radical Jun 2014 #42

This message was self-deleted by its author Ken Burch Jun 2014 #27

I appreciate that that is where you are at - but I don't think you speak for everybody. el_bryanto Jun 2014 #13

You fail to understand that those of us targeted by the Family are aware of her association with Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #22

You should try being honest when you represent my position, rather than distorting it. el_bryanto Jun 2014 #26

What is your position? That post was you typing about what you think OTHERS think. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #31

I didn't speak for anybody who wasn't mean - I spoke to my impressions of the site as a whole el_bryanto Jun 2014 #34

But that doesn't fit with Le Taz Hot Jun 2014 #16

I can't find any evidence that she's a member. Do you have any? N/T Chathamization Jun 2014 #23

Read this: truebluegreen Jun 2014 #29

“Attended a prayer group that’s associated with The Family” and “member of the Family” are different Chathamization Jun 2014 #37

her autobiography has glowing words for Coe nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #60

Does her autobiography say she was a member of The Family? Excerpt? N/T Chathamization Jun 2014 #68

She attended for 15 years and has glowing words for Coe nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #69

So then the answer is "no, she's not a member of The Family"? N/T Chathamization Jun 2014 #71

The answer is *not now* nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #73

As I wrote above, she attended a prayer group that was associated with The Family. And all the Chathamization Jun 2014 #76

We are NOT talking of the prayer breakfast here nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #77

So once again, no evidence she's a member of The Family? If the charge is that she wrote glowing Chathamization Jun 2014 #78

Those you chose to applaud in your political writing nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #87

You think I won't believe something that's true about her (she's a member of the DLC) because I Chathamization Jun 2014 #92

Whatever, at this point all I can say is whatever nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #95

Sure; if you ever find evidence of her being a member of The Family, feel free to post it. N/T Chathamization Jun 2014 #97

Her praise of Coe is damming and quite frankly it is enough for me nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #98

"Whether or not the accusations are true isn't important because the person did other things I don't Chathamization Jun 2014 #100

Her words are in her book nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #102

I never disputed her words; I asked for evidence of her membership. And since you are now ignoring Chathamization Jun 2014 #103

I am not ignoring the issue nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #107

Fair enough; if you ever manage to find evidence that she is/was a member of The Family, feel free Chathamization Jun 2014 #109

Her own words nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #112

I don't think the Family issues membership cards, buddy Demeter Jun 2014 #140

"You want another president who cavorts with EVIL?" No, but all of them have for the past 60 years Chathamization Jun 2014 #144

you didn't answer the question bigtree Jun 2014 #72

Not now is the precise answer nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #75

Did you read the article? truebluegreen Jun 2014 #82

Yes. It was 4 pages long and didn't provide any evidence that she's a member of The Family. Next Chathamization Jun 2014 #91

for me the issue is religion bowens43 Jun 2014 #24

Several Methodists told me yesterday the Family is the same as Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #25

Sometimes there is a very fuzzy line between religion in general SheilaT Jun 2014 #30

Candidates who profess any philosophy or faith need to answer very specific questions Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #33

You want to criticize Hillary for involvement in "the family" because you associate it Thinkingabout Jun 2014 #36

Both are valid lines of thought, and require scrutiny. AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #39

Elizabeth Warren repudiated the Republican Party and is now a Democrat. sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #55

figures Thinkingabout Jun 2014 #58

"Religion is a disguise". AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #38

Non religion is a disguise. Thinkingabout Jun 2014 #59

Yes, a lack of a disguise is a disguise. AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #66

Right. Because in this country, if you're running for office it's a huge advantage to be an atheist. Arugula Latte Jun 2014 #90

Why not? treestar Jun 2014 #53

Yea, yeah, it's not about Hillary, it's about The Family. Beacool Jun 2014 #62

And wrote glowingly about Coe in her autobiography nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #65
