Brown to Warren: "She said she is a native American and look at her, obviously she's not."
woah...that was his introduction.
I'll share the good stuff with y'all.

He comes off like a real thug. 
that he backed out of their planned debate tonight. Says he has work to do in the Senate. 
sorry! 
Can't wait for the analysis.
or something like that
No wonder Brown is confused.
He was in an ASL class and signed to one of his classmates "NA". When the teacher asked him what he was doing, he replied "I said I was Native American". The teacher said nothing, but the next day he pulled my son in front of the class and said that he had checked the school records and found nothing indicating Native American and accused him of lying about his heritage. My son was stunned and didn't respond, but it made him angry as he's very proud of his heritage. My wife has always been careful to make sure that "Native American" was indicated in the kid's school registrations, but apparently someone forgot to transcribe it to his permanent record at H.S. When he came home that night and told us what happened I went ballistic. First I called the school and made an appointment with the principal, then I called my son's uncle, the Chairman of their tribe, and asked to get a copy of my son's tribal registration. His uncle did more than that; he composed a beautiful two page letter about intolerance and the bigotry the tribe has experienced over the years, and how hard they have worked to overcome the negative attitudes.
You should have seen the look on the teacher's face when he was presented with the letter and a copy of my son's tribal registration. Of course he apologized, but before letting him off the hook, I berated him for making false accusations and for humiliating my son in front of his classmates.
BTW, here's my wife, son, and daughter at a tribe function a couple years back.
Your son is one of the best looking guys I'd ever saw in my life! I can see Native American in him clearly!
Wow! Arf! Arf! Arf! 
I'll let him know you said that.
(the girls that is!) 
He voted for the Blunt amendment.
She's hammering him on that (employeers can refuse to cover birth control for vague reasons of "conscience"
He's quoting the Chamber of Commerce on this issue??!!
reduce dependance on foreign oil?
feathers in their black hair (???), how are they supposed to look? What a disgusting racist statement! 
I mean, let's be honest, of course I think you're all massholes...
But being real, I felt like Brown was really playing up his Mass accent and needed to be slapped down on his claim that egregious oil subsidies lead to any difference at all at the pump.
I know that Mass is an educated electorate, but Brown did portray an easy guy charm, imo, and I was distressed by Warren's seeming unwillingness to directly engage.
That debate format was so purely Northeast, and I was concerned people would think, come on, take him on.
He came off as smarmy, a jerk and very patronizing and condescending to Elizabeth Warren. I sure hope this helps Elizabeth Warren even more. My neighbors to the north in Mass deserve a good senator even if the second I drive across the state line you people drive like crazies and beep non stop. I will forgive you for the Mass Turnpike tolls.
Glad I'm not the only one. Oh, and score one for the good guys, after Bush and Romney my Husband votes a straight Dem ticket.... We used to be Independent voters, when moderation wasn't a bad word. I was never an Inde after Mitt, he continued with Bush, I don't know how our marriage survived that.... but he's a strong Dem now
what a freaking idiot!
