Ike's is right schu the controversy was widely reported on in many news sources. Grab another cold one, relax and enjoy your day.

There's no such thing as a "moderate social democrat". You're either a socialist or you're not.
Under Obama the top 1% has thrived. The middle 60% has fallen behind. Under socialism the middle 60% will fall more. The top 1% does well under any system.

lol good try, it's already been cited by someone else. It's an extremely basic fact in the story. Carry on.

After all the Marxist socialist America-hating Obama derp, these attacks won't have the zing they ought to when an actual, for-real liberal takes the field.

That's a terrible comparison. Do you think Ron Paul could ever get in the US Senate, even in TX? Perhaps you're not familiar with his crazier views, like wanting to abolish most departments of the government.

Name some of her positions that are "radical", hopefully with some polling to show how unpopular they are.

Also, this is saying she is more liberal than nearly anyone in the US Senate. The US Senate does not represent the views of the American people very well. Same question I put to row coach, show some polling that shows her views are "radical".

1. That's just not true.There's a whole spectrum of left-wing political views from moderate social democrat to strong social democrat to democratic socialist to revolutionary socialists (all you're assorted trotskyist and leninist cults). I'm not engaging any further on that point because only morons disagree with it.

2. I agree about Obama. However I don't think the 1% did great in the October Revolution, or Chinese revolution for that matter.

No, we can't skip all the bull****, because the bull**** is pretending she's some sort of radical Marxist. Having a voting record that is less liberal than McGovern and public issues stances that are more conservative than John ****ing Kerry doesn't make you a radical.

Warren is a populist. If you want to criticize her for something other than Fauxcahontas, that's all you get.

Warren fans several a standard deviation more delusional than Ronulans. At least they were backing a candidate who actually ran. A more interesting proposition is Liz speaking during prime time at the convention. If she keeps quite and doesn't make Hillary's enemy list it could be a nice stepping stone for her career.

This Is What Seattle Actually Believes. Well, probably not really, tbh.

It's pretty hilarious that Warren is seen even as far left let alone radical. In basically every other normal country she is basically a centrist with non controversial policy ideas in a vacuum.

I think she would be a great veep for the right leaning Hillary. But whatever.

Btw I think the first half is your post is pretty dumb, the idea that simply running makes someone a better president puts Michelle Bachmann somewhere above her because she ran for president and Warren hasn't (yet?).

The Venn Diagram of people with zero global perspective and people who think Warren is radical is basically a circle.
08-03-2014 , 10:03 PM
Warren should propose global elections for US president.

I loled.

Also, coincidence you made this joke or did you also just read that John Venn was born 180 years ago today?

Obviously Warren dominates the Chinese vote. Santorum gets strong support from the Muslim world. Putin's endorsement is going to swing the election and it is up for sale opening bid 10b.

Who cited it? Be specific.

ikes, it's that time of thread where the fact that you try to piece together the world from Reason, Breitbart, and instapundit comes into play, lol.

P.S. Weird how when I brought up the Southern Avenger in the Rand Paul thread ikes essentially refused to admit the man existed, but ikes here literally invents an "extremely basic fact" of the story and tries to gloss right past getting caught.

Oh, ikes, did you look it up after you said it? Oh I bet you did. I bet you thought you were going to show those libruls so good, and then, oops. You ikesed it up. Again.
08-03-2014 , 10:34 PM
LOL the three amigos in this thread, though. Man, can you guys even imagine being part of a political movement that gets to float an actual intellectual as a candidate? What must that be like. Oh well, none of you will ever find out. Enjoy that ****. Keep refreshing Drudge and listening to Rush.

I was not aware. I was just making a lazy plagiarism of the old joke that the venn diagram of racists, misogynists and libertarians is practically a circle.
It's actually more accurate in this case though.

Just cause we don't have Commies like Red Ken or George Galloway doesn't make her a centrist. Lol. 538 did a good job of pointing this out.

Hey Fly, in case you didn't see my link, Warren claimed to be Native American on many occasion. How's it feel to accuse Ikes of getting his facts wrong after it was shown ITT already? lol
