Cotton, actually, has his own link to Warren. The Massachusetts senator was one of Cotton's professors at Harvard Law School, according to National Review.

RINO!!!11!!!one!!!un!!!

Seriously, linking Pryor to Warren is like linking Morning Shmoe to Rachel Maddow because they work in the same office!

The email went on to warn that Warren is the "intellectual founder of the radical Occupy Movement" and that she supports "European-style, single-payer" healthcare.

Wow! I’ve found another reason to move back to Massachusetts: So I can vote for her!

“Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is attacking Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) as one of the allies “radical” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) needs in the Senate.”

Sounds like something a grade school kid would say,not trying to insult grade school kids. :=)

“European-style, single-payer” healthcare? You must mean like Medicare?

That assumes the mouth-breathers Cotton’s trying to inflame actually know what Warren’s said. For the low-ifo Teahadist voter, she is Beelzebub in a schoolmarm’s glasses.

No kidding. In the minds of the Teahadists, a radical is anyone to the left of John C. Calhoun.

FYI:

Warren was a Republican until the mid 90’s when she noticed the alarming growing divide between the 1% and the 99%.

Grow the fuck up.

Eau de Desperation is setting in quickly for Cotton.

And to think, all Pryor had to do was tell the truth about this guy’s voting record to not only resurrect his own re-election campaign, but sink the opponent’s.

Maddow did a great segment on this race last night, pointing out this would be a pretty easy emulation for other Dems to pull off in other states if they just got off their duffs. Lots of public voting records to tie others like Cotton to their single minded focus to end the middle class and put seniors out on the streets.

Wow! Rhetorically supporting the American-style, ACA-mandated, state health-insurance exchange must be the new normal in Arkansas politics. Who’da thunk it four months ago?

Not many people in Arkansas know Elizabeth Warren. The Wall Street and fat cat funders do. This is to whom this fundraising appeal is directed.

Tom Cotton is the radical, voting to end Medicare and replace it with vouchers. He also wants to raise the retirement age and cut Social Security.

OT, but how are you quoting from the articles? Whenever I see your comments, it shows a huge blank space in the flyout panel, and then in the full discussion page the quote appears but it’s in monospaced type, which I don’t see in quotes from other comments.

Back when I was in high school, there was a core of dumb rednecks, not so much the jocks as their toadies, who used to sneer out “read any good encyclopedias(1) lately? Har har har har snicker!” They for real thought that was a) an insult and b) a think that no one, not even some so-called smart person would do.

For some reason, this story made me flash back on that epic insult fail.

(1)For the youngsters, in those days “encyclopedias” were multi-volume hard copy, hardbound compendium of specially written articles on a wide array of scientific, historic, geographic, biographical, and other topics, organized alphabetically. Many homes had one or more sets of these books, and school libraries had sets from many different publishers. They were typically one to three years out of date the day they were published but they were what we had.
