".."I know Massachusetts will not welcome a candidate whose calling card is a disturbing track record of slandering Catholics, the pope, Jews and Vietnam veterans," Johnston said. "Carpetbaggers spreading lies and smears are not welcome in our state.''

Corsi has apologized for comments he posted on FreeRepublic.com on various subjects, but he insisted they were "not meant as serious expressions of my views and opinions,'' but "meant to be satirical and provocative. ... .."

Those comments were already copied to the archives of David Brock's Media Matters, and elsewhere, and were used in an attempt to discredit the Swift Boat Vets. Fortunately the effort did not succeed.

In a political race they would be very damaging if Corsi had any chance at all against Kerry in Massachusetts, which he does not. Corsi may run but his campaign is quixotic at best.

I just think this sort of campaign does more harm than good. If you aren't going to run a serious candidate to talk about real conservative solutions to America's problems, don't bother.

And, even if there's no chance of a GOP Senate or Presidential win in MA, it hurts the party in other Northeastern states (PA, NJ, etc) to run somebody with a checkered past and who seems interested in revenge.
