GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown and his supporters are firing back at Democratic senators for accusing him of being a "far-right" politician backed by "right-wing radicals" by virtue of his ties to the conservative tea party movement.
Brown, with the support of the tea party groups and others, is posing a stiff challenge to Democrat Martha Coakley in the race for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy. Polls show him closing in on Coakley, long the frontrunner, with just four days to go until the special election, and the latest survey shows him leading by 4 points.
With the race tightening, national Democratic heavyweights have stepped into the picture and are lobbing harsh accusations at Brown's support network.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., claimed in an e-mail that "swift boaters" were trying to sink Coakley, a reference to the ads that targeted him in the 2004 presidential campaign. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called Brown a "far-right tea-bagger" in an e-mail, using a term that also can refer to a sexual act. Then on Friday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., wrote in a fundraising e-mail that Coakley was "being attacked by tea partiers and right-wing radicals."
Levi Russell, a spokesman for the Brown-supporting Tea Party Express, said the rhetoric is a "sign of desperation" from Coakley's backers.

...Brown, a state senator, did not come out of the tea party movement, though he is supported by it. Russell said a Brown victory would still count as a "win" for the tea party groups.
Tea Party Express announced Friday that it had spent more than $200,000 to support Brown, with much of that going into a new TV ad endorsing him.

A quote from Levi Russell which he sent me in an email. So I am quoting Russell directly, not the article."It's funny -- if your views differ at all with the Democratic establishment, then you're obviously a far-right extremist," he said. "None of that messaging is addressing Scott Brown on the validity of his views. It goes straight to name-calling."

Name calling, the dems first line of attack. They are in grade school mode.
At this point, calling Brown a radical in Massachusetts can only enhance his position.
The more the people hear from Coakley, and the more they hear from Brown, the more it looks like the Commies are gonna lose this one.
The left is always in grade school mode. The leftist ,socialist political philosophy is a magnet for the immature and intellectually lazy individual.
I think posting some pictures of the older generation attendees of these tea parties and labeling them as Brown’s radical cronies would be pretty funny.
Radical ties?? you mean like some Marxist Gay Guy who encourages wild sex acts to underage kids...oh wait...that would be Obama’s radical ties...
you mean like people who want to blow up Government buildings..oh wait...that would be Bill ayers and crew..more Obama ties...
and so on....
Jeez, they ought to read the stuff someone just posted that claims Brown is more liberal than Dede Scozzy from NY!

Kerry, Schumer, and Dodd bring no honor to themselves by making these puerile accusations.

I'm surprised they haven't already.
Thing is, the icy white bitch act doesn't play so well on Blue Hill Ave.
The DemocRATS wouldn’t be doing this if they were confident of winning the election.
I went on Brown’s site and after reading it all, I thought: “why are conservatives acting like this guy is so conservative?”
Then I read this, and I thought: “why are libs acting like this guy is such a right winger?”
I’m not knocking Brown, he’s probably as conservative as you’ll get in Mass. But he isn’t anywhere near a right winger. He’s a right leaning moderate, at best.
The libs are losing their minds.
normal people are the radicals these days
Paid operatives are out in full force....even on FR.
Wait a minute. I thought he was to the right of Dede Scozzafava or something.

Where was the National Guard to push them onto the trains and to the death camps?
