LOL... Stay classy!

Messages posted on Coakley’s campaign Facebook include these vicious sentiments: “Scott Brown should rape Martha Coakley and then deny her emergency contraception’’. “Martha Coakley getting raped would complete my life.’’ “Abortion is wrong. Kill her.’’ After one message that states “Looking forward to the rally Friday, Martha,’’ a woman named Amelia Bosley writes:“Hope she gets shot.’’ Imagine putting your name to that in the name of political change.

Candidate's cannot be held accountable for all of their supporters. If Brown were publicly advocating the quoted parts, that would be a different story, but he's not. And if you doubt that Coakley's supporters are just as bad... well...

At a West Springfield rally on Sunday, a Brown supporter yelled out “Shove a curling iron up her butt’’. The remark was a crude reference to Brown’s opponent, Attorney General Martha Coakley, who was criticized in a recent Boston Globe story for failing to aggressively prosecute a sexual abuse case involving a curling iron.
After that charming rallying cry, a video clip shows Brown grinning and saying, “We can do this.’’

Okay, I'm at work, so I have to keep the sound low, but I can't hear it said. I'm not claiming it wasn't said, but if I am replaying it and actively listening for it, but still unable to hear it, it is quite possible that Brown didn't hear it.

It is amusing that some folks are horrified at the idea that a candidate would not take to task his own supporter for suggesting someone "stick a curling iron up her ass" and yet be copacetic with a prosecutor failing to aggressively prosecute a case of abuse involving the actual act. I suppose it's different if the subject is one of the protected elite mandarin class than if it's a throwaway person, different enough that the suggestion is somehow worse than the act.

I got interviewed by the New York Times today after casting my vote. You could tell they wanted to hear about how my vote depended on my opinion of Obama. I told him something like this:

I'm a registered Democrat, but I voted for Brown today. I'm 28 years old and I've never had an election where I'm actually excited about one of the candidates, it's always been worse vs. worst in my eyes. For me the biggest issue was health-care reform, followed by the economy. I agree that health care reform needs to happen, but the plan that they're putting out there isn't a good fix. It's like saying 'there's nothing else to drink in the fridge so I'll drink this sour milk'. I also disagree with the bailouts and how far to the left the party has gone. I haven't moved much, the party's just moved away from me. Obama played into it as well, maybe 15-20% of my decision. I do not like his policies or ideas, but again it's mainly about health care reform. It's too expensive and doesn't actually fix the problem. Brown said he'd vote to kill it, so he has my vote. I also didn't like Coakley's attack ads. She sounded desperate. She was basically saying Brown was anti-rape-victim. It was pathetic. She also ran ads saying that Brown voted with Bush making it sound like he could actually vote on his plans...but he was a state senator not a federal one, and even I think she was trying to sneak half-truths into her ads'

He is so awesome in his bias it's marvelous to watch. He is absolutely more of a douche than even Sean Hannity. He puts to shame the bias of even the worst republican sycophants on Fox. Look at him go. I wonder if he was in fact created in a moveon lab. They took everything they could find, all the people who hate republicans, minced them in a grinder and took out just the most pure hate and bias and used it as the basis to create Olbermann.

At worst he is equal. Beck, Hannity, etc are all on the same level.
