Elizabeth Warren Responds To Karl Rove-Backed Occupy Wall Street Attack Ad

video
» 247 comments

Karl Rove‘s Crossroads GPS PAC has released a new ad, backed by a huge ad buy, attacking Massachusetts candidate for US Senate Elizabeth Warren by tying her to the Occupy Wall Street movement’s most extreme elements. In an interview with a Boston ABC affiliate, Warren responded to the attack by refusing to disavow the movement, or to buy into the notion that support for its principles means support for the actions of all participants.

Warren’s campaign has been warning supporters, for several days, that a Rove attack, backed by a major ad buy, was imminent. The Boston Globe reported yesterday that Crossroads GPS released its ad with a $596,000 ad buy, which underscores the reality of political fundraising in post-Citizens United America. Despite an impressive fundraising haul in just a few weeks of the third quarter, Warren will have to contend with independent groups that can spend unlimited amounts of money to ensure the reelection of incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA). Despite the fact that Warren doubled Brown’s third quarter take, in half the time, groups like Rove’s illustrate the way the deck is stacked against a populist candidate.

The ad itself is political attack boilerplate, with cheesily ominous music, a dourly concerned voiceover, and the requisite grainy black and white video footage, all in an effort to tie Warren to a cartoon villain version of the populist protest movement that has become a cultural fixture.

In an interview with WCVB Boston’s On The Record, Warren reacted to the ad by resisting interviewer Janet Wu‘s repeated attempts to create a false “in for a penny, in for a pound” choice. Asked if it was fair for Crossroads to link her so closely with OWS, Warren replied, “It’s fair to say that I’ve been protesting Wall Street for years and years.”

Warren described some of her efforts in Washington, then said, “So, yeah, I’ve been fighting Wall Street for a very long time.”

“So these are your people?” Wu asked, and got pretty much the same response, then asked, “So their mission, their philosophy, their tactics, you all agree with?”

“Let’s be clear,” Warren replied, “Everybody has to follow the law. There’s no exception on that. More important, though, this is an independent, organic movement. It’s its own voice. It will go in its own direction.”

Although there have been some very positive early signs for Warren in this race, including (in a way) the fact that Rove’s group felt compelled to drop over half-a-million bucks on a Senate race a full year before the election, this attack, so early on, shows that Elizabeth Warren has a steep climb ahead of her.

Here’s that segment of Warren’s interview with WCVB:(the full interview can be viewed here)

    HYPOCRISY!

    Warren vilified the Tea Party, which stood against the same bailouts and crony capitalism that the OWS groups did.

    No, Liz and her Democratic ilk are just POLITICAL OPPORTUNISTS, just some more ideologically paralyzed than others, that’s all.

    Wow, Mr. Christopher.  You and your media buddies were pretty quick to tarnish the whole Tea Party movement based on very few (mostly Larouche supporting) tasteless signs at rallies 100x bigger than OWS.

    Well?

    Warren responded to the attack by refusing to disavow the movement, or
    to buy into the notion that support for its principles means support for
    the actions of all participants.

    Funny, Every Republican was hounded to denounce every single questionable thing that happened at a Tea Party rally and NONE of those questionable things included rape, murder, multiple drug overdoses and calls for violence.  My how times have changed.

  • http://www.davidjkramer.co.cc// DavidKramer

    Hey, first she says she is the one that started the movement, now she is the one trying to walk back her own self described bull?

    Hey, according to the media and the leftist politicians, ANYONE in the movement is indicative of the entire movement, sorry you are the ones that set the rules. No moving the goal posts or rules after the game begins.

    By the way, when is she going to disavow the murderers in her movement?
    When is she going to disavow the drug addicts and deaths in her movement?
    The communists?
    The nazis?
    David Duke?
    Bank poopers?
    Cop car poopers?
    Union astroturfing?

    I could go on, but the last time I heard, this HUGE movement was going to march from New York to Washington. You should have seen the size of this movement? Like 20 people, YAY power to the .000000099%ers!

    I didnt hear her claim this, plus, saying you support figting wall street doesnt mean you support everything that people on your side do. Elizabeth Warren shouldnt have to answer for the actions of people she doesnt know, people that are protesting on theor own volition and not because of elizabeth warren.

    She deftly handled this attack, and it was an attempt to marginalize her, you can tell from he snooty response by the woman anchor that she does not like warren and was not expecting such a well played answer, it was pitch perfect if you ask me… And not becuase i agree with her but because she is right, she has been fighting and now other people have joined, why should she answer for thier actions? Its laughable.

    Her popularity is completely contrived by the media. For the most people, the vast majority of people in Massachusetts don’t know who she is. Conversely, Scott Brown — who I hate — actually meets with the people he needs to vote for him and he’s a national icon.

    The Tea Party when it was headed by Ron Paul? Yes.
    The Current Tea Party where it’s Palin, Bachmann, and the other crazies? No.

    Tea Party was founded on being against the bailouts and “crony capitalism,” but then Fox News tricked them into thinking that it’s not the banks fault for the failure of our economy, it’s Obama’s fault.
    Obama is a terrible president who hasn’t helped us with ANYTHING but Fox News literally transformed The Tea Parties ideas, which got Ron Paul supporters pissed and left. Now they are with OWS. You need to understand that there is two different tea parties. The earlier Tea Party was GOOD, the current Tea Party is BAD.

    Personally, I find it downright hilarious that they are so outraged at people playing by the rules they set. It was working great for them for a while to vilify everything about the TP and calling anyone who dared disagree with The One racist. .  The emergence of OWS and Herman Cain have totally made it backfire on them in horrendous fashion!  Now we have the left out there begging us not to paint all OWS’ers with a broad brush (like they’ve done to the TP since it started) and liberal hacks like Chuck Todd asking for an end to using the race card (which they invented).  Entertaining indeed.

    Absofuckinglutely. 

    I’ve seen tons of stories of tea party rallies that were definitely sympathetic or neutral and I’ve seen tons of stories about OWS that have focused on the violent incidents exclusively. Even Jon Stewart — one of your favorite targets of hysterical outrage — conducted a very thoughtful interview with a Teapartier last year that was totally devoid of demonization. But, of course, that would never, ever cross your radar, because you have a narrative you stick to, facts be damned. 

    It must really suck to live in a world where you’re constantly a victim. But it must also make you feel good about yourself, because you and Michelle wrap yourselves in your victimhood like a warm blanket.

    Indeed – The victim card is played by both side, but the Tea Party seems to have two modes only: The ” you’re lucky we’re only screaming today, tomorrow we come with the guns Jesus gave us to water the Tree of Liberty with the Blood of anyone left of Bachmann”   and  ” The media is always so mean to us!”   It’s pretty closely aligned with the Evangelical addiction to feeling perpetually persecuted in a country that is 84% Christian (including me, lest I be accused of further persecuting these poor gentle souls.)  

    None of this should be a big surprise, since the mid-summer 2011 polls of the Tea Party found them to be primarily older, white, ultra conservative evangelicals who want less government, but the remaining government to be dominated by bible thumpers.  Yee-haw.

    Of course, some of those poor people don’t have bank accounts to seize or any cash on hand, so what we’ll probably have to do is harvest their organs and sell them for cash, and use any that die in the process as fertilizer for the urban gardens, or landfill for new developments for the 1%ers, and maybe keep the best cuts from the youngens for the upscale restaurants.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Well, you should actually link to a poll or two to support this sort of “analysis”. The polling to date shows her going from nowhere to contending in a matter of days, and she’ll be ahead of Brown just as soon as she secures the D nomination, which is going to take a while. See, right now technically she isn’t running against Brown, she’s running against other Ds for the nomination, which isn’t until next year. Just the fact that a voter being polled knows there’s a possibility she won’t win the nomination is enough to dampen her head-to-head numbers against Brown, plus there are in fact supporters for the other D candidates, and it’s proven human nature for supporters of others to try to dampen their opponents’ apparent support in all kinds of ways, including this one. And looking to Brown versus Generic D is never very useful, because for a long time, until just recently, Generic R was kicking Obama’s ass, but now that Generic R has been silent in all the debates, Obama is ahead of even Generic R, to say nothing of the actual Rs. 

    So, if you actually follow where she’s at right now, she’s going from county to county to rally support for a local county organization in each county to organize for her, and she’s getting SRO crowds – something that DOES NOT HAPPEN and in fact DID NOT HAPPEN with Brown. Brown did party faithful rallies, not county-by-county town halls. What she is doing her is called building the ground game, and it’s going to be a hell of a ground game given how much time she has to build it. This is actually something Obama was particularly good at in Illinois, when he learned that he could be beaten at the House level by Bobby Seale because Seale had a better ground game. That was something that he agreed with Plouffe and Axelrod on, so when they all got introduced at the Iowa Harkin Barbeque in 2006, they all started from the same idea: build a ground game throughout the nation at the NOMINATION contest level, and use the internet to expand it and get it to go viral. So what Warren is doing her is building a ground game that is broader and deeper than what Brown could ever do with the Tea Party, and by the time she gets nominated, no amount of Rove money will be able to overcome that ground game.

    It’s a very sound strategy, and one every D candidate should try; indeed, given the success of Obama in using it, it’s a wonder more Ds have not gone to it. I understand the small, labor-orientated New Democratic Party in Canada tried out the Obama-Plouffe-Axelrod ground game strategy in the Canadian national election earlier this year and went from obscurity right up to #2 spot and the official opposition in their Parliament, with very little money. It’s exactly how to overcome the Big Money influence that the Citizens United case enables.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Coakley is actually a very good lawyer and a very strong AG for the state, but has never been much of a politician, and she ran an absolutely terrible campaign, with no organization to speak of and no effort at building a ground game. She simply assumed that the folks who supported Teddy Kennedy would come out somehow magically and support her, failing to appreciate that Teddy Kennedy stayed in office for all those years because he built on that ground game for all those years, constantly building new coalitions among Catholics and teachers and medical care workers and unions and the working poor. Coakley came in and acted like Marie Antoinette and got hit right in the kisser by a sack of cold tea. Brown just happened to be the beneficiary of all that. Now he’s about to find out the limits to receiving tens of millions of dollars in support from Wall Street banksters: none of that stops a good ground game. If it could, then Mitt would have beaten Teddy when he ran against Teddy before running for governor. Teddy sure never had the money advantage in that one.

    (From George Will, http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/elizabeth-warren-and-liberalism-twisting-the-social-contract/2011/10/04/gIQAXi5VOL_story.html )

    Warren says:

    “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. … You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

    Warren is a pyromaniac in a field of straw men: She refutes propositions no one asserts. Everyone knows that all striving occurs in a social context, so all attainments are conditioned by their context. This does not, however, entail a collectivist political agenda.

    Such an agenda’s premise is that individualism is a chimera, that any individual’s achievements should be considered entirely derivative from society, so the achievements need not be treated as belonging to the individual. Society is entitled to socialize — i.e., conscript — whatever portion it considers its share.

    The collectivist agenda is antithetical to America’s premise, which is: Government is instituted to facilitate individual striving, aka the pursuit of happiness. The fact that collective choices facilitate this striving does not compel the conclusion that the collectivity (Warren’s “the rest of us”) is entitled to take as much as it pleases.

    Warren’s statement is a footnote to modern liberalism’s more comprehensive disparagement of individualism and the reality of individual autonomy. A particular liberalism, intimates the impossibility, for most people, of self-government — of the ability to govern one’s self. This liberalism postulates that, in the modern social context, only a special few people can literally make up their own minds.

    In “The Affluent Society” (1958), modern liberalism’s symptomatic text, Galbraith, a Harvard economist, baldly asserted that corporations’ marketing powers are so potent they can manufacture demands for whatever goods and services they want to supply. Corporations can nullify consumer sovereignty and vitiate the law of supply and demands.

    Many members of the liberal intelligentsia agree that other Americans comprise a malleable, hence vulnerable, herd whose “false consciousness” is imposed by corporate America. Therefore the herd needs kindly, paternal supervision by a cohort of protective herders. This means subordination of the bovine many to a regulatory government.

    Because such tutelary government must presume the public’s incompetence, it owes minimal deference to people’s preferences. These preferences are not really “theirs,” because the preferences derive from false, meaning imposed, consciousness. This convenient theory licenses the enlightened vanguard, the political class, to exercise maximum discretion in wielding the powers of the regulatory state.

    Warren’s emphatic assertion of the unremarkable — that the individual depends on cooperative behaviors by others — misses this point: It is conservatism, not liberalism, that takes society seriously. Liberalism preaches confident social engineering by the regulatory state. Conservatism urges government humility in the face of society’s creative complexity.

    What we desperately need is honest fact based examination of the issues. Rove doesn’t care about that at all and will gladly distort and lie and paint everyone with a broad brush and blame the whole for the acts of a few. It’s dishonest politics as usual, the opposite of what we need.

    Personally I think it might be better for the Occupy movement to now begin to organize {maybe some are} and not live in tents. They could also be effective by showing up every week ,in force , and spend the week getting a message out containing some specifics and educating themselves and others.

    Rove’s super PAC as well as others is part of the problem. Nobody should be funneling piles of cash into our elections with anonymity.

    Painting a movement like OWS as either all good or all bad is an ignorant denial of how humans and reality work.  It’s a denial of our own history of social upheaval and fights for change and justice.

    To tie Warren to every negative event associated with OWS because she supports the basic premise of Wall Street reform is dishonest to it’s core. In the words of Joe Walsh; IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

  • CosmosDan

    That’s not what that sentence means at all.  She’s smart enough to not accpet the shallow dishonest BS way Rove’s ad is painting her.

    It’s dishonest and ignorant to claim that someone who supports the basic principles of Wall Street reform must also be supportive of the illegal acts by individuals associated with the group.

    It’s utterly dishonest the way the the media, mainly Fox , is treating this movement. Go back and look at the details of social movements in our past. It’s not all neat and law abiding.

  • CosmosDan

    He ought to be. Warren is way to smart for him. 

  • CosmosDan

    She’ll have to rely on intellect and being informed while Brown will rely on looks and help from outside money. It’d be a shame if she won. 

  • CosmosDan

     I don’t think the Republicans have disenfranchised everyone. I think the message of personal responsibility and not looking for a handout or expecting a big brother government to take care of you still resonates with a lot of people. It should because it has a lot of value. If the democrats were really smart they’d embrace those values, and talk about how establishing a responsible affordable social safety net is not meant to be a free ride. They’d agree loudly and repeatedly that we have to be more fiscally responsible as Obama did when he agreed on debt reduction as a priority.

  • CosmosDan

    Did that poster say anything at all about Bachman? Why the hell would you assume that from a post that didn’t mention her at all? 

  • CosmosDan

    Right, the media isn’t doing their job correctly so naturally we need outside anonymous groups to put their preferred lies on TV. Sounds like a fine solution alright. 

  • CosmosDan

    That’s not what they’re doing.  They are dishonestly misrepresenting her words. That’s not so hard to believe.

  • CosmosDan

    That is a great video.  Thanks for posting it. One of my favorite parts was Alan Grayson saying audit the Fed. As outrageous as he is sometimes, in this case he agrees with Ron Paul who has been preaching that for years.

  • CosmosDan

     That makes sense to me. Then why are presidential candidates talking about doing away with agencies rather than just making them more efficient.

  • CosmosDan

    Now that’s funny. Judging by his posts, he thinks about it all the time. Funny huh? Why do you suppose that is? 

  • CosmosDan

    {applause}   well done sir.

    no kidding, I’m still chuckling over that one. 

  • CosmosDan

    Didn’t Forest’s mother have a saying about that? 

  • CosmosDan

    There’s a very significant difference between what you said, and the quote you just posted. Try to figure it out. It will be a helpful exercise. 

  • SYSPROG

    Honest to God most of you are MORONS.  The reason we can’t ‘fix’ the country is because of the amount of hate and low information jerks posting as if you have a flippin’ clue.  If you don’t like Ms. Warren then protest her policies.  And DITTO on Scott Brown.  We can’t discuss a problem because EVERYTHING liberal is ‘bad’ and everything conservative is ‘good’.  Back away from your keyboards and go take a class on government.  It’s not to late to save the country…even from people like you! (Yes, Michelle, I’m talking to you).

    Any Politician who aligns themselves with the OWS , is comitting political sucide.  This movement has been HY-JACKED by the Union Thugs, (ISMS) and lawless bunch.  It is not world wide. SOROS and his groups are trying to make it seem that way.

    What planet have you been living on ??? You should work for MSM (or maybe you do). All of your information (whereever it came from) is so twisted, that you need theapy.

    @ Stonepark3  I don’t see Mike Byron’s name on any of the other comments, however he has as much right to talk and/or post as you have. You know- that little First Amendment thing?

    It wasn’t just Ohio, you myopic regressive.  You bitches lost in Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi and other places to.  People are getting wise to CONservative bullshit.  You bitches have nothing to run on, your policies suck  and your members of CONgress are going to get their asses handed to them next year

    I like Lizzy Warren and I thought it was an expression of cowardice that 44 didn’t nominate her for the very department that she was putting together.  Oh well, I’d rather see her in CONgress anyway, were she can really advocate on our behalf.  I broke her off a campaign donation and I hope that other people do to

    I was disappointed too, unfortunately he was trying to appease Conservatards.  But don’t worry “he’s got his mojo back, baby!”

    You got that right. When Karl Rove and his band of lying stooges has to spend that amount of money in Massachusetts,you know they are on the run. Scott Brown is one and done.

  • http://www.facebook.com/tony.westover Tony Westover

    He didn’t. While the media was busy assuming that the Democrat who won the primary was going to be the next Senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown instead went and campaign across the state. The media attention only started to focus on the race when polls showed that Brown was leading and that the Democrats were still acting like the race was a forgone conclusion. It was a staunch example of Democrat arrogance in the Northeast.

    Campaign contributions do not equal “popularity”… they equal campaign contributions. Martha Coakley had much more in campaign contributions than Scott Brown. Too bad *that* didn’t equal popularity or else she may have actually won the election instead of suffering an absolutely humiliating defeat.

    RealClearPolitics did it for me, and if you weren’t lazy and actually lived in the real world, you could’ve found it very easily: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/senate/ma/massachusetts_senate_brown_vs_warren-2093.html

    Other than the outlier partisan PPP (Democrat) poll, her “popularity” is completely contrived. She has only breached 40% in a single reputable poll, and it coincided with an increase in Scott Brown’s popularity — who wasn’t exactly popular either and I still struggle with the idea of voting that for Big Government RINO. And outside of polls, NOBODY is talking about this woman outside of national Progressive Socialist blogs, and Mediaite.

  • OccupyThis!

    WARREN IN OCTOBER: “I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” “I support what they do.”

    WARREN NOW WITH OCCUPY POLLING DATA DOWN: “Let’s be clear,” Warren replied, “Everybody has to follow the law. There’s no exception on that. More important, though, this is an independent, organic movement. It’s its own voice. It will go in its own direction.”

    When a liberal politician says “let me be clear” you can bet a back-peddle or Flip Flop is to follow!

  • OccupyThis

    Yeah, the Tea Party only Changed the Political Balance in the United States, Hardly an accomplishment when you compare it to taking a crap in the street.

    I found this site just recently…and was so excited at first as I am a busy guy(with adhd lol) that likes to get his news instantly with no filler(ie commercials) . And at first I found the site refreshing, able to get content that I felt in some ways was catered to me. But I have grown so SICK at the ignorant hateful nasty trash comments that I see posted on these clips ..such as here on this one on Warren. If I wanted to read people calling others sluts whores etc I would go to fox.com and other NEANDERTHAL sites…Why is it that someone to the right of center has to “debate” his/her comment by using trailer trash verbiage? I mean really folks listen to yourselves..look at your posts. You can tell the “right wingers” from the left just in the comments…and that is not a compliment. Is this how you conduct conversations at home with your friends and family? Do you even have any?

    Go to sites like msnbc.com, or npr.org, newyorktimes.com, washingtonpost.com.  Read the comments posted below the SAME ARTICLES that are filtered here… read the tones of the posts.. They are thoughtful, inspiring, thought provoking. Even when they disagree on subject matter. They communicate mostly in a civil respectful way. Then go to foxnews and ny post and read theirs. Do you understand what I am trying to express here?

    Do you want to taint this site so much with your blatant desire to show how ignorant and classless you are?

    I come here to get my news fix and to read comments hoping to expand what I gleaned from the piece. But all I see is a bunch of people with something shoved up their ass and spouting rhetoric that makes no sense and just offends. maybe you should take a moment, focus on who and what shoved that up there, remove it, then come back and speak.

    If you can not make your point without insulting or using 4th grade grammar to make your point…then don’t.. Do you really feel proud of the message you post at the end of the day? Do you want people to read your comments and say “hey he is a tard”.

    I’m fed up with it. You attack a person who is trying to SAVE YOUR ASS and your childrens. maybe you feel she is going about it the wrong way BUT AT LEAST SHE IS TRYING!!!! More than I can say for any republican(and some democrats) I seriously doubt the majority here were born with a silver spoon in their mouth(but like I referred to before about something shoved up their…) so stop acting like it. Grow up, grow a pair, and act like an adult.

    If we can not communicate and do civil discourse then we should just hang our hats and turn off the lights. If this is what America TRULY has become then we should close up shop and call it a day.

    I’m just sayin..
