If you didn't think Scott Brown belonged in a nut house and not the United States Senate, check out this latest revelation from Talking Points Memo.
Brown, whose opposition to any health care reform and desire to protect big banks at the expense of average taxpayers has become widely known in recent days, is also sounding language that sounds like the stuff of the nutty birthers who continue to peddle lies about our president's birth contrary to all evidence that contradicts their ridiculous claims.
More below.
Scott Brown's spokesman has been trying to dismiss the controversy as a "non-issue" and an attempt to tear down Brown, but after hearing this passage, it's clear that both Brown and his spokesman are off their rockers not only in their attempts to dodge the issue, but what Brown said to begin with.
Here's the clip that Brown's folks would rather not talk about:
And here's the passage Brown and his folks don't want to talk about:
Brown: Barack's mom had him when she was, what, 18 years old?
Guest: And married!
Brown: Well, I don't know about that.
And here are the facts that Brown doesn't want to talk about:
Now the factual record on this is clear. Obama's parents were married February, 1961, and Obama was born in early August of the same year. So his mother was certainly married when he was born.
Complicating matters for Brown is the fact that, around the time the video was taped, the fringier elements of the conservative movement were advancing this theory--that Obama's mother wasn't married when he was born--as a related matter to the more important "Obama was born in Kenya" theory.
If Brown really thought this was a non-issue, why advance it?
The defense Brown and his spokesman are offering may have been the end of the issue back when there was no Internet and there was no way for independent folks who don't work for major media outlets to provide contradictory evidence.
Today, with the mask the Republicans have been using to conceal who Brown really is and what he stands for getting torn in shreds, there's no way he can dodge who he really is-- a dangerous right-wing extremist who peddles proven lies and who can't be trusted to represent anyone in any office, even dog catcher.
Anyone who peddles birther garbage and then tries to deny it the way Brown and his spokesmen have brought serious questions about the integrity of both the man and his campaign.
Instead of seriously considering voting for this piece of scum, Massachusetts citizens should send this dirtbag down to defeat on Tuesday.
