(CNSNews.com) – What does Sarah Palin have to do with Tuesday’s U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts? Although she has endorsed Republican Scott Brown, she has not campaigned for him or with him.
But Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) brought Palin into the race on Monday, at a news conference where he urged Massachusetts voters to support Democrat Martha Coakley.
Kerry urged Brown to stop the “bullying and threats” by his out-of-state supporters.
“I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we’ve seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign rallies,” Kerry said in Boston.
“This is not how democracy works in Massachusetts. Scott Brown needs to speak up and get his out-of-state tea party supporters under control. In Massachusetts, we fight hard and win elections on the issues and on our differences, not with bullying and threats,” Kerry said.
‘Anger out there’
At a Coakley campaign rally on Jan. 15, Kerry admitted “there is anger out there,” both in Massachusetts and across the nation.
“It’s justified anger,” Kerry said. “It’s understandable anger. People have lost their jobs. Many people have had their life savings wiped away. People have seen homes taken out fro under them in countless numbers across our nation. And there’s a fear and an anxiety out there. Let me tell you, let’s not forget where that anger ought to be directed.”
According to Kerry, the anger should be directed at Republicans – “at the people and the principles and the policies and the party that threw out the regulators; that opened the floodgates of greed, that invited in the worst economic times in this country’s history – and I believe turned its back on fairness and common sense in this country.”
At the Jan. 15 rally, Kerry branded Republicans as the party of ‘no’ – blasting them for offering no alternatives. “The only thing Republicans say ‘yes’ to is Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, tea partiers,” he said to the applause of Coakley supporters.
(Although Republicans have offered alternatives – to health care reform, for instance – they don’t have the votes to advance their proposals.)
Kerry also branded Scott Brown as “George Bush’s yes-man,” saying Brown wants to go to Washington “to become Mitch McConnell’s no-man. And we’re not going to let him do it,” Kerry said.
On Tuesday -- election day in Massachusetts -- polls showed Brown leading Coakley by as much as nine points.
Even Sen. Kerry noted the importance of Tuesday's election: “The voting here is going to determine the balance of power in America," he said last week. "And with it, it is going to determine the fate of what we started with Barack Obama a little over a year ago.”
Keep it up you progressive rats and it will become downright deadly!
Si si puede.
The rice keeps hitting the gigolo in his arse from his own grenades.
On the other hand, there are two documented instances of violence in the last few days of Marcia's campaign.
But keep on talking, Jean. Run the old play book. The People are waking up. To quote Will Smith's character, "Hope you got airbag."
And I thought this guy got his Purple Heart for being shot in the ass! ;-)
THat would be "Si, se puede", if you're trying to say "Yes, we can".
Kerry the Drama Queen! Bet the rent he has no idea whatever what goes on at a Palin event. This is like Pelosi playing scared about the Tea Party rallys. I don’t know who thought up this angle, but it doesn’t work.
Trust me, John F’n Kerry, WE the people won't forget where the anger ought to be directed. You, Bwany Fwanks, Pelosi, Reed, and a whole host of your fellow arrogant douche bags are going to be “tea partied” right out to sea. Word.
>>>we’ve seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin’s 2008 campaign rallies
Yep...to Leftists, any disagreement with their views is “dangerous”...
Truth be told, it is dangerous to their positions, because they require an absolute lack of thought to survive...
Sure makes me wonder if that guy hollering out about a curling iron was an astroturf plant: they called out all the other stops in the last week and the ruse had worked so well in 2008.
This means so much, coming from an over-aged, over-privileged, out-of-touch, limosine liberal suffering from white-man's guilt and botox poisoning, who whored his principles and common sense out for a really cool job in congress.
Salsipuedes is a small rancho in Baja California. Its name is translated from the Spanish language as "get out if you can" or alternatively "leave if you can".
Seems like good advice for many democrats!
Hear the peasants with the torches and pitchforks coming for you and your ilk Mr Kerry.
I love when the Rats describe themselves, but then claim the problem is the Republicans. Kerry seems to forget that it was the Dumbocrat congress that was in control of the money for the last 4 years. They are the ones that forced banks to loan money to unqualified borrowers. They are the ones that created the CDO scam. They are the ones that fought any attempt to regulate the banks.
Palin/Brown has a nice ring to it!
Sen. Kerry seems to be silent and have no problem when the “importation of thugs” into his home state involves hundreds of SEIU/AFL-CIO “volunteers” to work on the Democratic campaign.
There you have it - right from the mouth of Jean Francois Kerry! Hey John - you're next! (SOB should have been made to resign his senate seat in 2004!).
This ‘rat is all ass! Can’t miss the target.
Jim I hope so and Scary kerry played the system to get those three purple hearts through self inflicted band aid scratches.
Please spread the word to all partiots, do not buy any “heinz products.” We should not put one penney in a treasonous coward’s and drugged up old wrench’s pockets.
Scary kerry is a disgrace to America and to the men/women who fought and died in Viet Nam.
