Video: Elizabeth Warren denies there is a Middle Class

In this interview with a local Fox affiliate, newly sworn-in Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren literally denies that the middle class can be quantified. No, really. After being given the opportunity by the reporter to concede that no matter how you measure it, a middle class should be easy to define based on whatever criteria one uses.

The implication of Warren's thinking is what should be alarming. If, for example, she can't define the middle class, that at least leaves open the possibility that one doesn't exist. If there is no middle class, there are only two classes left - upper and lower.

Is not the goal of of far left progressives like Warren to destroy the middle class?



Incidentally, I believe that woman defeated Scott Brown not because Brown wasn't liberal enough for Massachusetts. She beat him because he was too moderate and all but abandoned the Tea Party that was responsible for putting him in office back in 2010. Brown was elected to prevent a super majority vote on Obamacare. While he was the 41st Republican vote in that fight, he did little else after that.

As for Warren, her comments above about being unable to concede that a middle class can be defined may just be a moment on par with this from Maxine Waters in 2009:

Tea Party now Officially in Scott Brown's Head

Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (R?) won his election a little over one year ago by riding the wave of Tea Party momentum. He played the part, driving the now infamous truck to all of his campaign stops, pledging to remember those who put him in office. Another reason he was put in office was to stop Obamacare by eliminating the Democrats' filibuster-proof majority. He did that, and voted correctly on Obamacare but it didn't matter; it was rammed through anyway. For all practical purposes, that was the last time Brown showed allegiance to the Tea Party.

Personally, I suspected this would happen when I saw John Kerry by his side as soon as he was sworn in. The Tea Party, however, is not forgetting.

Via the Daily Beast:

The strain of walking such a fine line must be getting to Brown, because as soon as he finishes his initial round of pleasantries, he launches into a peevish rant about how unfair conservatives are being when they criticize him. "The Democrats are in charge!" he shouts, his voice reaching the high, strained register that teenagers typically use when they don't want to take out the trash. "Does that mean I'm supposed to do nothing? That I'm supposed to vote with my party every single second of every single day? Why? I haven't done it for 15 years in the state legislature. All of a sudden I'm supposed to be an ideologue? I'm not quite sure what the mystery is, folks. When I hear some of the comments…I don't know what the mystery is. I said I was going down there to be a Scott Brown Republican, not someone who works for Harry Reid—or Mitch McConnell!" It's as if Brown is no longer addressing the people in the room—again, they're mostly Democrats. Instead, he seems to be fending off foes in Washington, real or otherwise. Unsure of how to react, the crowd quietly pokes at its meatloaf.

I wouldn't call an expectation from his constituents that he vote against Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal, Financial Regulation, the Jobs Bill, and a flawed START Treaty a demand that he become an ideologue.

If ever there is a sitting Senator who represents Tea Party betrayal, it's Scott Brown and he hasn't even in office for a third of a term. This is a Senator in deserve of defeat in the primaries.

Read it all.

VIDEO: EXPECT A MASSACHUSETTS MIRACLE

Awesome video for rallying support for Scott Brown next Tuesday. Music is very good too. Provides an excellent American history lesson while stoking the same passions that caused our founders to stand up to tyranny.

This one is a must-see.

VIDEO: LEFTWING ASTROTURFING PROJECTION ARTISTS

Where to begin, where to begin. First up is a video outside the debate that took place between the union-backed socialist Democrat candidate Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown, who's been closing the gap at breakneck speed. Notice the guy in this video. He is from the Sheet Metal Workers Union and is dressed in purple and yellow - purely coincidence, I'm sure.

Two very noteworthy things happen. First, he admits to being paid $50 to be there in support of Coakley but then admits that he's actually going to vote for Brown. Harken back to August during all of the tea parties. What was the narrative of the left that was used to demonize them? They claimed it was an organized astroturfing movement. Before watching the video, let's just remind ourselves what astroturfing is....

Astroturfing (Astroturf being an artificial grass) is an artificial grassroots movement, one that is made to appear as though it is a real grassroots movement, but it is usually done to advance a cause for the benefit of specific individuals or group(s), and most often not at a local level.

Hats off to this worker, actually. He likely needs the money and is required to do what his union bosses tell him to do. Your tax dollars at work.

SCOTT BROWN’S DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

Will Republicans Sell Out To National Tea Party Movement Backfire At Home?

And If He’s Elected, Who Will He Owe?

“Scott Brown made a deal with the devil – and he should have held out for a better one…Brown’s embrace of radical tea party groups for funding coincides nicely with his willingness to accept the millions in television ads from shadowy out-of-state organizations with links to Karl Rove…”

In light of that little gem, Hot Air provides this video of Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack leaving a Martha Coakley fundraiser when he is shoved to the ground by some thug demanding his press credentials.



At some point, even the most indifferent by-stander when it comes to politics has got to take notice of the lies, deception, projection, corruption and thuggery coming from the left.

VIDEO: DAVID GERGEN PUNK'D BY SCOTT BROWN

David Gergen got utterly embarrassed for voicing the disturbing and, until he uttered the words, unspoken paradigm that the seat held by Ted Kennedy belonged to Kennedy himself. Massachusetts Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown was more than mildly assertive as he corrected Gergen, telling him it's the "people's seat".

MASSACHUSETTS SENATE RACE: BROWN CLOSING GAP

The special senatorial election on January 19th continues to get interesting. The race is to fill the seat vacated by Ted Kennedy's passing. Until now, the SEIU-backed liberal Democrat Marth Coakley has been up by double digits in a race many thought was a foregone conclusion.

As of today, the conservative candidate, Scott Brown has closed that gap to single digits and, go figure, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), with Texas senator John Cornyn as the director, is finally starting to back Brown with some assertiveness.

The opponents are at opposite ends of the spectrum. As mentioned, Coakley is backed by the SEIU and will represent even more of the same in Washington, representing Massachusetts. Brown is not a RINO and while that may not please the likes of Linsdey Graham, David Frum, et. al. it is generating some inertia that may overtake Rinoism.

The NRSC certainly doesn't want to be given a black eye like the one received by Newt, Michael Steele, and the RINO establishment when Dede Scozzafava was thrown up as the Republican congressional candidate in NY 23 late last year. Had the Republican leadership been more in tune with what was going on there, perhaps they could have challenged the local leaders and Hoffman would have likely won big.

The NRSC may suffer a backlash if the Massachusetts race is close with Brown losing because they didn't get behind him sooner but it is now feeling the heat, which will almost certainly escalate between now and January 19th.

RASMUSSEN has more.

VIDEO: SENATOR RACE IN MASSACHUSETTS GETTING INTERESTING

His name is Scott Brown and he is a conservative looking to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate Seat on January 19th in a special election. His opponent is Martha Coakley, who seems to have chosen a strategy of portraying a race that is so non-competitive that she has decided to take an extended vacation.

The Boston Herald REPORTS:

Where’s Martha? Why didn’t she put out a statement regarding the attempted terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab? She is on vacation with 20 days to go until the election. Does Martha already need the rest or she just the most cocky candidate in the Commonwealth’s history?

Martha did make some time for a couple of campaign items such as refusing to debate Scott Brown one-on-one. During this election, she believes that every candidate has a right to be heard. That belief does not really cut it when Martha previously refused to debate her opponent in 2006.

Martha has also made time to attack Scott Brown’s latest television commercial. She finds the ad “misleading.” Scott has been naughty for pointing out how far left the Democrat party has gone. They no longer represent the working people. They represent the people who live off of taxpayer dollars and radical special interest groups.

So what's wrong with this ad? Really.



Here's another Scott Brown ad worth watching (filmed in a brewery).



Meanwhile, Iran has rejected that other Massachusetts senator, John Kerry, denying him entry into their country.



If you know anyone in Massachusetts that is ready for hope and change, please direct them to Brown's WEBSITE.

Quick question: if Brown wins this election, will the Republicans be able to filibuster Obamacare?

It would seem to me that if the conservative base is able to pull this off, it would be a HAYMAKER that lands.
