Elizabeth Warren: Throw Rocks (a Thomas Jefferson rebuttal)

A response to the ridiculous "Elizabeth Warren: Throw Rocks" political advertisement released on Thursday 10-12-2011 by the Massachusetts GOP. Essentially, I've made a political attack ad against Thomas Jefferson . . . and discovered that I'm a terrible voice actor.

(Original video: "Throw Rocks": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsiAtXyv_WA)

By the way, everything Jefferson says in the video are historically correct, and I should point out that his political opponents attacked him for being irreligious and radical. So, historically speaking, if YouTube had been around in 1800, you probably would have seen this for real.

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions." (Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, 30 July, 1816)

My point wasn’t to compare the views of Warren with that of Jefferson, but to point out the ridiculousness of making Warren’s statements sound sinister by taking Jefferson’s actually scary words. And he was pretty divisive and radical (he was called “anti-Christ” for example). He threw serious rocks too, like the Kentucky Resolution.

Show me a similarly silly Demo. ad as “Throw Rocks,” and I’ll do the same. Maybe next time I’ll insult Alexander Hamilton with my voice.

Yes, you are a terrible voice actor. How silly to cast Jefferson like this. LOL. Did Jefferson advocate stealing money that people earned to give it to other people who didnt earn it? No, he certainly didnt. But Elizabeth Warren does. And Obama does. And Karl Marx did.

Jefferson believed government exists ONLY to preserve our natural rights from people like Warren who would misuse and abuse its power. NOT to redistribute wealth or to provide food, shelter, and healthcare to citizens.
