Brown Framed?
TPM ^ | 01/14/10 | Josh Marshall

Posted on 01/14/2010 11:12:39 AM PST by freespirited

Sheesh, what has the world come to if you can't trust the Boston Globe?

Over the last day or so, we've been reporting how Mass GOP senate candidate Scott Brown said he was unfamiliar with the "Tea Party Movement", notwithstanding their campaigning for him and now lots of photos and video of his addressing Tea Party events.

But it seems like the original report in the Boston Globe was just wrong, or at least way overwritten.

The Brown campaign has now provided us with the audio of the exchange the report was based on. And as is often the case, there's a lot of crosstalk and incomplete sentences. But I think the clear reading of Brown's statement is not that he's "unfamiliar" with the Tea Party movement or hasn't heard of it but that he didn't accept or wasn't buying the reporter's characterization of it.

The audio is clear that Brown did not want to get into a discussion of Tea Partiers or his relationship or connection to the movement. But he wasn't saying he'd never heard of or wasn't familiar with the Tea Party movement.

You know the Boston Globe sucks when even leftoids are calling it a liar.

It means YOUR WORLD has started to realize the unbearable liberal bias that has always been there.

The Boston Globe...people don’t much care for it but birds everywhere love to poop on it.

Don’t forget to type INIT: DP at the ATEX Command prompt at the Boring Broadsheet to erase every disk drive on the network.

Palin should learn from this event and actually TAPE her OWN version of interviews. Its a beauty to rub it in, when the reporter is caught lying

The only thing worth reading in the Boston Globe are the ball scores - even then I check them against the Herald the first chance I get.

I believe the Globe was also saying that the “stalker” reporter FELL trying to ask Coakley a question, and “claimed” to be pushed...or something to that effect.

And Coakley did not see anything...do NOT look at the picture of her witnessing the event, please only refer to her honest and straight-forward statements.

"Palin should learn from this event and actually TAPE her OWN version of interviews. Its a beauty to rub it in, when the reporter is caught lying"

Great point. Its hilarious listening to this and then read the paper claim that Brown said he had no knowledge of the tea party movement. He is so familiar he was able to laugh at points the reporter was making about it "taking over".

Maybe the GLOBE writer just stumbled?

Is it true that Coakley said the Boston Red Sox and the people who go to baseball games are a joke? I can’t believe she said hotdogs are for gutter scum.

When asked about the relative lack of retail campaigning on her part she sneeringly said something “What, stand outside of Fenway Park in the cold and shake hands?”

Reporter: "Scott, what do you think of the Tea Party movement and what they are trying to do?"

Scott: "I'm not quite sure what your are talking about. What are they trying to do?"

Reporter then goes on an anti-tea party rant about removing moderates from GOP, etc.
