Elizabeth Warren (D CAND, MA-SEN) staffer attacks, threatens cameraman.

How does Senator Scott Brown keep managing this? ’This’ being defined as “An aide to Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, appears to have knocked the video camera of a Republican tracker after an event this weekend in Martha’s Vineyard.”

(Via AoSHQ) For those without video: video tracker follows Elizabeth Warren around, waiting for her or one of her staffers to do something stupid. Elizabeth Warren staffer obliges by shoving the cameraman around twice without provocation, demonstrating a palpable ignorance of the concept of ‘public space,’ and ending what was a particularly sad tough-guy act with the quasi-threat “You’re messing with the wrong people.”

Mission accomplished!

Seriously, you’d think that people would have taken notes and adapted their behavior after what happened in 2010, if for no other reason than professional pride.  Then again, I do have to admit that Lizzie Warren doesn’t exactly attract the smart ones…

    The Elizabeth Warren Traveling Circus continues to be one of the great amusements of the 2012 campaign. Luckily for her, she’s a Democrat. If she was a Republican, all these gaffes and staffer miscues would be at the forefront of the media spin cycle.

    Do yall remember when Coakley’s staffer pushed a reporter into a concrete wall?
    Looks like the Warren campaign is just carrying out a tradition in this race. Ah, the déjà vu.

    Why this occurred is really very simple.
    The White Eye had a soul-stealing box, was noted as using it, and The Irish Brave
    {‘He Who Needs Growth’} ‘made magic’, and stopped him, as per The Great Spirit.
    The Victory Dance for Counting Coup was performed in A Sacred Place.

    These are the communist thugs that are supposedly the “DeM-O-Com” party! Wake up people, you’ve got to fight fire with fire. It’s time to stop trying to be polite to these communist thugs. They are mean, unscrupulous, lying and conniving lilliputians and should be addressed as such!

    Republican “tracker” or paparazzi?

    Either or but does it matter. A staffer working for someone in the middle of a campaign should be a little smarter than to take the bait. Somebody running for office should have been smart enough to at lest make a token gesture to stop it. I guess brains from someone dumb enough to lie about there ancestry for personal gain isn’t smart enough to keep her staffer from pushing around the annoying guy with the camera.

    Paparazzi or not she chose the life in the spotlight. She needs to get used to the jerks with the cameras or get out of politics.
