Yah, she's all for the little guy, right. What a crock of chitr she is. Lieawatha was stealing from her fellow Oklahomans who lost thier homes to foreclosure.

I'm not sure you can come to that conclusion off of this information alone. Buying and selling prices don't indicate large profits unless you understand the labor and materials invested.

The first one I read that her and her brother's name is on was bought for $4,000.00 and sold for $30,000.00 a few weeks later. Thats good enough for me.

Spence, I for one am shocked, SHOCKED, that you come to her defense.

She profited from flipping at least one foreclosed house. She profitted from someone else's bad luck. She has zero moral authority.

Unless the house was owned by a white man, and then it's justifiable revenge for what the white man did to her people.

More proof that people in Ma. are either #^&#^&#^&#^&ing brain dead or part of the #^&#^&#^&#^&ing liberal corruption machine !

[justplugit]

All liberal heart, lending her own Brother, at TWICE the going rate of 4.5%,
a 9.5% loan so he could get in on the action and at the same time profiting even
more for herself.

If I renounce my US citizen and become an illegal maybe it would help.
I work my ass off, as do alot on this board. It makes me sick to see this crap and makes me wonder what I did wrong.

It's called capitalism because you look for values in the marketplace and capitalize on them. It's good: proves she's not a commie.
Beats punching a clock and waiting for a raise that's never coming.

I don't have a problem with people making money, leaglly, but I do have a problem with someone such as Warren telling everyone she is for the middle class , the little guy on the street, the guy who is up against it, and in the end she is the biggest hypocrite out there.........currently. She was probably, as an attorney, tied up with people at the bank, and walked into these places without taking out a note. I mean $4,000.00 for the one house I saw, hey what attorney couldn't write that check. She is the one holding herself up there to scutiny, we aren't.

And how is this being against the middle class?
Anyone with 4k could have easily done the same if they cozied up to the bank.
Hell I went into my bank the other day for a personal loan and while in a discussion about mortgages the loan officer mentioned a couple houses they had in foreclosure cheap (wrong location, right price).

I must hate the middle class too!

[RIJIMMY]

I dont think this is a big deal.
I think the point swimmer and others are trying to make is - its equivalent to Warren preaching about the evils of alcohol and the greedy alcohol business and in her past she used to have a few drinks now and then.
Not a big deal, but undermines her credibility.

I agree with Jimmy. It does undermine her credibility to a degree on some issues , but I am not sure when it became immoral to buy houses, fix them up, and sell them for profits. The important question, are the actual facts? We don't even know what the net profits of the sales were. I know in Worcester back in those days, you got breaks for buying houses and fixing them up on main south.

This is a bit worse, because she profitted by it. She profitted off of others' misfortune, which she claims she is opposed to.

A better analogy would be if she spoke about the evils of alcohol, and then silently opened up a bar across the street from alcoholics ananymous.

I think you're confusing misfortune with exploitation.

Zimmy, if profiteers like Liz Warren didn't pounce on foreclosed homes for a quick profit, banks would have more incentive to help struggling folks stay in their homes. Try making that wrong. Warren is profitting on the misfortune of others, while she chastises others for doing the same. Irrefutable fact.

"Nobody in their right mind would buy a house to flip if all they thought they'd make was 18% before expenses."

You are focusing on the 18% deal, because that makes her look the least reptilian. How about this deal, if you read the link...

"Purchasing a foreclosed home at 2725 West Wilshire Boulevard from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for $61,000 in June 1993, then selling it in December 1994 for $95,000 — a 56 percent mark-up in just 18 months."

Zimmy, please answer this simple question...Rather than profiting from the misfortune of others, why isn't she helping those struggling folks to stay in their homes?

If what she did is OK, it's OK for others (like Mitt Romney) to do the same...

Your hypocrisy has no limits, and you have no shame.

.

Sad part is,as with most of these sweet deals, it's who you know.

Warren is a hypocrit at best and currupt to the core. She is a manipulative weasle who used any part of the system, created by her party, to get ahead. She is everything that is wrong with politics.

Scott Brown isn't.

At the risk of coming across as a perv, I don't think a guy with daughters like this can lose.

Did you guys see this?

I would have wanted to floor Patrick if I was there. Who the hell is say what the people of MA care about>. The governors arrogant response and warrens non-sensical banter are why I hate liberals. This type of crap may work when you are inverviewed for a professor job or a community organizer, but not in the real world. I wont be hear to vote in Nov but please Massachusetts show some balls and dont vote for a dem for the sake of voting for a dem

I think the left and the right both put forth their share of kooks.

That being said I wouldn't worry if I was Scott Brown. He's a moderate Republican and this stoopid issue will undermine her credibility (like Kerry's inability to counter the Swift Vets) in a way that will turn off independent voters.

If I were Brown I wouldn't even mention it, just let the media stir the pot.

You guys are all clowns.

No one knows if she rehabed. the houses or just flipped them. None of that matters as long as you guys think you can needle the other side.

Once again the facts are irrelevant before making a conclusion. For all we know she lossed money on every one of these. It is unbelievable.

Likwid, Zimmy, PaulS, Spence -

This woman lies about being a Native American. I could personally care less, because unlike liberals, I din't see every single thing in terms of race. But let me say this, if a Republican candidate lied about being Native American, and one only does that to get ahead, you would all be going berserk.

She also has made some money buying distressed homes. It seems to me that the Occupy Wall Street kooks would be opposed to that. But since she's a liberal, it's OK.

Here in CT, we elected a senator (a democrat) who lied about fighting in Vietnam. That didn't bother liberals. Amazing.

First, your hypocrisy literally has no limits. Second, do you ever stop to think about the type of people your side attracts? It's one perverted, immoral, tax-cheating, race-baiting, rich creep after another.

I'm not saying conservatives are perfect, God knows. But Jeez! You have the Kennedys, the Clintons, John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Hollywood scumbags...blech. The Occupy Crowd compared to tea partiers? If you owned a restaurant, which group would you want setting up camp across the street from your business?

Every time I see a list of influential liberals, I feel like a need a tetnus shot. Can't you nominate someone for some office, somewhere, anywhere, who isn't a reptile?

Yeah, but you know what? Lots of folks here will not admit that the Occupy Anarchists are less civilized than the tea party. That's how blinded they are. All that matters to them is ideology, and they could care less that all measurable data conclusively shows that their ideology stinks. They don't care. and here in CT, my side gets clobbered by these people every year.

November cannot come fast enough. How long, O' Lord?
