We've all been working hard on the MA-Sen race and y'know let's be honest. There's been a bit of desperation in our efforts. We've seen the polling, on dailykos we're divided about other issues. Healthcare isn't going to be perfect, etc, etc.
So, in that desperation, we've been throwing everything at Scott Brown to see what would stick. So far not much has, despite the fact that he's voted against 9/11 workers for a Golf Course, no less. He's pro-wall street, he voted for a constitutional amendment against Marriage Equality, but there's a new one which I think he's going to have trouble evading.
Is Scott Brown a birther?
So not only is Scott Brown a horrible republican. He's calling the President of the United States a Bastard Child. While it is true that he doesn't specifically state that Obama wasn't born in this country, he advocates that his parents were not married and had him out of wedlock. That is from birther ideology. If Scott Brown wants to say it's a misunderstanding, that's on him, but listen to his response in that clip above. He's practically laughing. He's laughing not just at the question. He's laughing at you, me and the entire state of MA for believing that he's just a "guy with a truck."
He's not. This is why it is critical that everyone get out and vote for Coakley. The conditions couldn't be starker. We have on the one hand, a loon who thinks Obama wasn't born in this country and on the other, a progressive champion who is the only Attorney General in the country to be fighting DOMA.
It is in this vein, that we must support Martha Coakley and here is a link to phone bank for her: Phonebank via OFA If you want to volunteer, here's a link for that: Volunteer for Coakley
