Karl Rove’s political group making robocalls targeting Elizabeth Warren in Senate race

Kept at bay for months in the US Senate race by a pact curbing outside advertising, Karl Rove’s political group, Crossroads GPS, has begun blasting voters with “robocalls” targeting Elizabeth Warren.

One call criticizes Warren’s work leading a panel that monitored the federal bank bailout, erroneously suggesting she ran the bailout, and another claims that her support for President Obama’s health law could limit Medicare availability, even though the law does not propose doing so.

The calls are not a violation of the pledge the two candidates signed in January. The “People’s Pledge” penalizes the candidates if outside groups spend money on television, radio, or Internet ads on their behalf. But it does not limit outside mailings or phone calls, something Warren, a Democrat, and Senator Scott Brown, her Republican opponent, acknowledge.

The ads by Crossroads GPS come a month after a Globe reporter saw Brown meeting with Rove at a Tampa hotel restaurant during the Republican National Convention. The Brown campaign has said it was a chance meeting, not planned by either. The campaign would not say Thursday whether the two men discussed the Crossroads GPS robocalls, insisting again that the two simply ran into each other.

2. I hope Elizabeth Warren brings this up in the next debate

Karl Rove is hated by Democrats and Independents, so since Brown is pretending to be a moderate etc., he needs to be tied to Rove & the Bush Administration to expose his lies.
