I start volunteering this weekend for Elizabeth and I ain't stopping til we get these racists out of our state.
UPDATE:
Meet the racist who created the sign. Too bad there's no photo.

(3,626 posts)Mr. Sullivan's business is registered as a "foreign for-profit corporation" with the TEXAS secretary of state. This evidently has some kind of un-American tax avoidance benefit. Just saying.

(219 posts)...just means a business that's incorporated in another state that's also registered in Texas to do business there.
That said, he really is an idiot. What's the saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted?" All those billboards mean less money for him to use for other things...

It may however, push a reasonable moderate Republican into voting for a Democrat. I'm not sayin' it would be wise for the McCaskell campaign to erect the signs herself, but it has been done before.

(47,675 posts)Funny side note. My Russian teacher kept telling us to come to her office to bet a "Verb Veal" - I don't do veal. I finally did and said, "OH! A VERB wheel!"
Her response was, "That's what I said, a verb veal". And this was coming from a woman who bitched at us for not being able to pronounce a myackis znack (soft sign). There is no "W" sound in Russian.
On a similar note, Korean has it's issues too. There's no leading "L" sound and no terminal "R" sound, despite it being the same character in a syllable. That means that the only way you can say "Louise, Lois, Luis, and Rose" is all "Wo-eh-sa", although the leading "R" in "Rose" is pronounceable. It just doesn't come out that way. They all sound the same. And the grand master has been in the country for DECADES!
"Puff the magic dragon, living by the tree..." - "Good Morning Viet Nam".
We have our phonetic differences and we always will.

(8,646 posts)My Ukrainian grandfather used to tell me I needed white amins. I told him I didn't know what white amins were. He said, "You know. WHITE amins. Dey make you strong, put hair on your chest. WHITE amins." I shook my head. He said, "Dere is all KINDS of White amins. White amin A, White amin D, White amin C" ...."OOOOOH! VITAMINS!"
He looked pissed, "Dat's what I said. White amins." Funny how he DIDN'T pronounce the V considering Ukrainian and Russian are so similar.
Reminds me of French. There isn't an H sound, but they will put an H where it doesn't belong, and not use it where it is present. eg "The HAIR is ott in ere." "My air needs brushing." lol. It's a good thing I have so many French relatives that it's very decipherable to me.
HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)By the way, "vodka" is derived from "Voda" (water). English is probably the most fucked up language in history. It's a conglomerate of so many things that there really aren't any solid rules. Korean, on the other hand, is easily the most logically constructed language. The rules are simple. I can read it without flaw, but I don't always understand the meaning. Then there's German, where if they need a word for "The Lesbian Male Priest Who Fucks Eggplants And Pigs at Two In The Morning While Watching Hannity", they'll make a 50-letter word for that. I also took two years of German. That's how it is.
laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)Come to think of it my grandfather did call it Wodka. I didn't know that about Ukrainian/Polish/Russian and the W/V.
LOL about German. My grandmother was German but I never learned German (or Ukrainian). English is a germanic language though, no? I took french for 14 years (french immersion school and university) and I still have conjugation issues, lol. Oh hell, I have issues in English because I spent most of my schooling learning French.
HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)We had to do "conversation" things (reading from text). On one occasion, our teacher absolutely lost it. It was the first time we'd ever seen her laugh. The guy reading the text said "champignon" instead of "champion" for a water skier and she got a mental image of a mushroom on water skies. The only useful thing I got out of two years of French is "Je ne parle pas français". It was useful in Montreal at least.
I frequently answer the phone (for telemarketers) with "Что ебешь, снова?" (What the fuck, over?) and then follow with "Я не говорю Английский." (I don't speak English). It usually gets them to hang up. On one occasion, after the "I don't speak English" line, she said, "Oh, I see. You don't speak English." I responded with "Da" and hung up.
Languages are fun.

http://www.enterprisenews.com/features/x1927982901/Scott-Brown-calls-Hanson-signs-inappropriate#ixzz27iSPkAyB
Brown said the above quote in August in reference to disgusting anti-Obama signs posted by the same racist asshole as the Elizabeth Warren one. Seeing as Scott HAS actively participated in "this type of inappropriate and over-the-top rhetoric" he once decried, he is completely responsible for fostering this nauseating garbage, imo.

PotatoChip
(3,186 posts)I think that most folks in the district who are still undecided about the Warren/Brown race will be disgusted enough to not vote for Brown. We often hear about how negativity works in campaigns, but this is so beyond that. It's an appalling personal attack. Normal people generally recoil from that sort of thing. The tiny fraction who would find this acceptable would never have voted for Elizabeth anyway.
This may even sway a few moderate Republicans, particularly women. Even if they (moderate R women) can't bring themselves to actually vote for a Dem, they may either leave that portion of the ballot blank, or not vote at all. In fact, this type of thing, along w/all the other R attacks on women could be the final straw for a good many of them... Or at least I hope so.
Thanks Graywarrior, for volunteering.

The racist needs to be picked apart slowly and carefully. His comments about
people not willing to work for $10.00 and that people make more money on
unemployment is code for Black's being cuddled by Obama's Socialist agenda.

(84,711 posts)What has happened there. I lived in NYC, NYS, CT, NJ.......what is going on?
I grew up in SC and got the hell out of there as fast as I could in my early 20's......and unfortunately ended up back in the Southeast for my "older years" because the job growth was here....But, WHAT HAPPENED since I left the Northeast in the early 90's?
There can't be the Religious Fundie Church influence that the Southeast has had. Church was always important for indentity growing up in the South...but not when I lived in Manhattan, CT or New Jersey (although there was a bit of fundie religion starting there and had been there..but, I live just outside of Princeton)
I don't understand it. I can't imagine that area of the US putting up something like that against Elizabeth Warren. WHY?

(10,056 posts)Metaphorically that is.
This sign is a goldmine.
Warren should run adds about Brown's support of racism until he has to disavow the sign and its supporters.
This is a ready made way to hammer Brown right before the election.

Severe racists. Seriously go ask Mariah carey how WHITE she is. broken nose I assume. and the word lie means one knowing tells something they know to be untrue. She doesn't know if it's true or not. So they are lying about her lying.

(1,663 posts)I'd love to switch the positions of the signs so it says Scott Brown is a joke. The Obama sign is even cruder. I don't think this clown is helping either Romney or Scott by his ugly signage. Most people in Mass., especially independent voters, are thinking - Boy, Romney and Scott really attract the crazy.

(1,663 posts)It was up for a couple of days but today it was gone. It seems we have a bylaw about the size of campaign signs here. Imagine that sign up in a town that has such a long and checkered history with Native Americans! What kind of idiot would do this - oh right, a Brown supporter.
