and you lap it up and extend the bullshit a little more. Classic.

Here's a link for you http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/WarrenReport.pdf. Read it. It details broken trade agreement promises through several administrations.

And I don't give a rat's behind about her calling repugs liars, because everyone knows that anyway.

What bothers me is the nastiness level that this issue is getting to within our own tent. There's no call for it!

It's really getting almost out of control, when we should be focused on the ball. Which is beating back the creep of the repugs!

on this. He did attack her and basically called her dishonest. She has every right to respond to such a smear especially when his attacks did not address the concerns of the people. 'WHAT IS IN THIS THING' he is pushing so hard.

But hey, McConnell praised him for attacking 'Warren and base'. So there is that.

If you don't want to be called out on lies, don't tell them. Obama is wrong to push the TPP, and the US and the other nations with strong economies are going to be the ones to suffer under the agreement. The only people that are going to benefit are the multinational corporations and the high-end investor class.

Obama has already called Warren “wrong” on trade. But in private, administration officials fume in much more colorful terms over Warren’s attacks, calling them “baseless” and “desperate,” with “no bearing or relation to anything we are doing.”

That's pretty close to calling her an outright liar in my book. not nearly the same as "mistaken"
