Scott Brown's campaign of race

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:During the first debate between Brown and Warren, Brown told the audience that he could tell by looking at Warren, who was born in Oklahoma, that she does not have any Native American lineage. He later denied having said that. What he said was: "I think character is important. I think what you’re referring to is the fact that Professor Warren claimed that she was a Native American, a person of color, and as you can see, she’s not. ...she applied to Penn and Harvard and she checked the box claiming she was a Native American. And, you know, clearly she’s not. When you are a United States Senator you have to pass a test, and one of character and honesty and truthfulness. And I believe, and others believe, that she has failed that test." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/20/scott_brown_rips_warren_for_native_american_claim_at_senate_debate.html] In a later exchange with a reporter, Brown denied his remarks were what they were:Quote:REPORTER: … the debate that, “As you can see,” she’s not Indian. Can you tell by looking at someone what their ethnicity is? What’s your feeling on that? BROWN: [Avoids the question, talks about Warren's character, integrity, etc....] REPORTER: But you’re suggesting you can tell by somebody’s— BROWN: I never made that suggestion at all. http://www.towleroad.com/2012/09/scott-brown.html] Anyway, that's how it began, Scott Brown showing his true nature by claiming Elizabeth Warren couldn't possibly have any Native American blood in her, because she doesn't "look" Native American. In actual fact,Quote:Genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society Chris Child set out to hunt down Warren’s ancestry last Thursday. In less than a week, he discovered documents citing an 1894 marriage record that lists Warren’s great-great-great grandmother, O. C. Sarah Smith as Cherokee, meaning that Warren is 1/32nd Native American. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/elizabeth-warrens-cherokee-heritage-raises-questions/] Warren’s great-great-great grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was referenced as Cherokee Indian on her son William Crawford’s 1894 marriage license application, a 2006 family newsletter showed ( http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/mass-senate-race-warren-stirs-cherokee-ancestry-debate/]). She has said of her heritage:Quote:“Growing up, my mother and my grandparents and my aunts and uncles often talked about our family’s Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation- what kid would?- but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a part of who I am and part of my family heritage”Growing up, my mother and my grandparents and my aunts and uncles often talked about our family’s Native American heritage Whether ancestry that far back classifies her as Native American is up to debate, but Scott Brown's and his staffers' actions aren't. Some of his actual STAFFERS were filmed making "war whoops" and "tomahawk chops". These are not just "some folk", or even Brown supporters, they are his STAFF: Identified in video making the chop are Brown's Constituent Service Counsel Jack Richard (camoflage shirt) and Massachusetts GOP operative Brad Garrett, front and center with tan baseball cap and gray hoodie, gleefully leading the whoops and chops. Also present was Brown's Deputy Chief of Staff Greg Casey. Bear in mind these are people directly connected to Brown's campaign, his senior staff, and their salaries are taxpayer financed. How could they do what they did without Brown knowing about it or condoning it? If they could, what does that say about his control of his campaign?Quote:After the incident became public, the Scott Brown campaign said in a statement that “Senator Brown has spoken to his entire staff – including the individuals involved in this unacceptable behavior – and issued them their one and only warning that this type of conduct will not be tolerated.” http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57521462/brown-gives-warning-to-staff-for-tomahawk-chops/] Brown issued a non-apology apology: Quote:Well, I haven’t seen it, this is the first I’m hearing of it,” Brown told reporters. “But … if you’re saying that, certainly that’s not something I condone. It’s certainly something that if I am aware of it, I’ll tell that [staff] member to never do it again. But the real issue here is, and the real offense is the fact that Professor Warren checked the box. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/09/25/brown-on-war-cry-video-something-i-dont-condone/] At separate rally, however, a Brown supporter let out another "war whoop" and Brown didn't respond, though he didn't actively condone the act, either. The video was posted on a local GOP website and spotted by BlueMassGroup, which also found audio of Brown laughing at Native American jokes in reference to Warren. Now the Cherokee Nation has piped up:Quote:The chief of the Cherokee Nation on Wednesday demanded an apology from Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) for what he called an "uneducated, unenlightened and racist portrayal of native peoples" by senior staff on his campaign and in his Senate office. Quote:"The Cherokee Nation is disappointed in and denounces the disrespectful actions of staffers and supporters of Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown. The conduct of these individuals goes far beyond what is appropriate and proper in political discourse. The use of stereotypical 'war whoop chants' and 'tomahawk chops' are offensive and downright racist," said Bill John Baker, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, in a statement. "The individuals involved in this unfortunate incident are high ranking staffers in both the senate office and the Brown campaign. A campaign that would allow and condone such offensive and racist behavior must be called to task for their actions." http://falmouth.patch.com/articles/cherokee-nation-principal-chief-denounces-offensive-actions-by-sen-scott-brown-staffers It’s a new take on the old theme of race, defined as a meaningless social construct until it starts to mean everything. This is the way they operate. This is the way they always operate. You hire these people because this is the way they operate. There's only one reason to pound the issue about Elizabeth Warren's ancestry and that is to race-bait, to gin up the lizard-brained anger at "quotas" and "affirmative action." You talk about her like she gamed the system and you're not merely casting aspersions on her career, but you're giving a nudge-nudge, wink-wink to all the usual suspects out there who know somebody who knew somebody who was related to somebody who knew somebody who didn't get the job they should have had. This is also what they do. This is also what they've always done. This is also why you hired people because this is what they do.

Quote:In late April, the Boston Herald reported that in the 1990s, Harvard Law School – where Warren began teaching in 1992 and was granted tenure in 1995 – touted the Democrat’s Native American background as part of an effort to boost its diversity hiring record. Warren’s campaign said she didn’t bring up her heritage before Harvard hired her and that her background came out through later conversations. The next week, Warren acknowledged listing herself as a minority in a directory of law professors. The directory included her on a list of minority professors from 1985 to 1996, the Boston Globe reported. Warren said she listed herself as a minority because she wanted to connect with “people for whom native American is part of their heritage and part of their hearts.” In late May, the Globe reported that Warren acknowledged that at some point after she was hired by Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, she informed the schools of her Native American heritage. And Brown’s campaign piled on, seeking to raise more questions about whether Warren used her claim to Native American heritage to her professional advantage. They continue to do so, citing the fact that Warren stopped listing herself as a minority in the faculty directory in 1995 — the year she received tenure at Harvard — in a recent press release. Officials responsible for hiring her have said her heritage was not a factor in their decision. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/09/27/the-fight-over-elizabeth-warrens-heritage-explained/] In other words, there is absolutely no proof, much less even any indication, that she got any "preferential treatment" because of her heritage. If anything, others MADE USE of her heritage in pretty funky ways: Harvard Law School "touting" her background "as part of an effort to boost its diversity hiring record"--they only found out she was part Native American after they hired her, so that's a lie. The law directory including her "on a list of minority professors" was probably for the same reason. I'd bet money she stopped using her heritage because others were using it that way--or else just to avoid controversy, who knows? And you're a lawyer, eh? You trip yourself up every goddamned time by showing how little you THINK like a lawyer or do the things lawyers do--like check out the facts before jumping to conclusions. I repeat: I do not believe you are a lawyer. Like I said before, I worked for them all my working life, and none I ever knew would stoop to the kind of unprofessionalism you show here every day. Just another pretending he's something he's not.

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: I find the righties whining about name calling amusing. Rappy finds it soooo terrible that I call he or "hero" names - based on the actual views they espouse right here.
Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: But it's okay for Rappy to call entire swaths of people "evil" or "cancers" because of often completely invented reasons. And of course, there are literally dozens of examples in other threads of him calling names, too - but of course, those are different. But he's "reasonable".
