It would be trite, unoriginal, and stereotypical, but it would be a legitimate political argument.<br /><br />But putting her on the same screen as "Obama the Kenyan" isn't legitimate. It actually minimizes the argument against Warren by making it look as crazy as the birther claims.<br /><br />Indeed, a reasonable person might say, "Right-wing fanatics think both Obama and Warren have false histories. Therefore, their histories must be true."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-52671856846362739492012-09-08T11:21:26.645-07:002012-09-08T11:21:26.645-07:00The image wsa that "Indian" meant "...The image wsa that "Indian" meant "freedom". A few years ago, Korean protesters dressed as Indians for the same reason.<br /><br />But I wouldn't put Liz Warren in the same as Obama.

By her repeated fraudulent claims to be a Native which she used in order to get some sort of perceived advantage, she is wearing a figurative fake headdress. In terms of political cartoons, the depiction of this fraudulent person is dead-on.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
