Elizabeth Warren
In reply to the discussion: Warren Buffett Says Elizabeth Warren Is Too ‘Angry’ And ‘Violent’ With Rich People [View all]RufusTFirefly
(8,812 posts)32. It's not just sexist. Remember how "angry" Howard Dean was supposed to be?
It's supposed to mean both unstable and threatening.
When the anger meme didn't stick with Dean, they had to make him crazy.
How can we forget "the Scream"?
Still one of the most mind-boggling media character assassinations of my lifetime:
The scream scene was shown an estimated 633 times by cable and broadcast news networks in just four days following the incident, a number that does not include talk shows and local news broadcasts.
And if that wasn't bad enough:
...those who were in the actual audience that day insist that they were not aware of the infamous "scream" until they returned to their hotel rooms and saw it on TV.
Take a moment to let that sink in.
If someone like Warren threatens the status quo, make no mistake: the media won't hesitate to do something equally outrageous. You can count on it. And the saddest thing is that many of us will fall for it. That's how pathetically manipulable most of us are these days.
