Just disgusting:
A mailing from the Democratic party in Massachusetts accuses Scott Brown of wanting hospitals in Massachusetts to turn away “all” rape victims.
Not only is it absolutely false — again, he sponsored an amendment that would exempt religious hospitals and religious medical personnel from a law mandating the distribution of emergency contraception in all hospital emergency rooms —it’s dumb. Why would you include the word “all”? Just because you can’t keep from going absolutely over the top while in the gutter? (Or because you are happy to win at any cost?)
The Brown camp is filing a complaint, as they should.
I wrote about this attack in “Rape, She Cried” earlier this week. But it’s apparently not just Coakley but the entire Democratic party there.
The word that I’ve heard is that Brown’s people are filing a criminal complaint – and if that means some Democrats go to jail over this, that would be a good thing. High time to put a stop to this sort of slander.
Brown is going to win this, and win pretty big, and that is the best means of sticking it to the Democrats. But, we also need to prepare ourselves for when we return to full power to really bring the hammer down on corruption in our politics…and not just the bribe-taking and such, but also the outright lies Democrats routinely use against Republican candidates.
UPDATE: Brown pulls ahead on Intrade.
