"Shove a curling iron up her butt!"

QUOTE OF THE DAY.... In Massachusetts this morning, Scott Brown campaigned in West Springfield, where the conservative Senate hopeful complained about the tone of the campaign.

"I'll tell you what," Brown said, using a megaphone to address the crowd. "There's negative campaigning, and then there's malicious campaigning."

"She's malicious!" a man in the crowd cried out. "She's a phony!" shouted another. "Shove a curling iron up her butt!" a third man interjected a few moments later.

Yes, because it's not ironic at all to complain about "malicious" campaigning while your supporters call for assaulting the state Attorney General with a curling iron.

As for the rest of the afternoon, President Obama is scheduled to campaign alongside Martha Coakley in about an hour. Around the same time, Brown will host a rally with a retired baseball player, a retired football player, and the guy who played a mailman on "Cheers" 20 years ago.

As for the controversy surrounding Brown's comments about President Obama's family, a spokesperson for the conservative Republican said Brown "doesn't believe" that Obama's parents were unmarried when he was born. The GOP campaign did not, however, apologize for the ugly remarks.

DNC spokesperson Hari Sevugan added: "Why did he say it then? Whether it's on this issue, or choice or taxes, Scott Brown has a disturbing and telling history of saying one thing at one time, and another thing later on. The only thing that's clear is that Scott Brown is not who he says he is."

26. "Oh please" What??? Explain yourself - if you are capable.

[Atman]

2. "Shove a curling iron up her butt!" is exactly the stuff you'll read on the "conservative" boards.

You know the ones. The message boards who call out DUers while wishing harm and pain and suffering on anyone and everyone who dares not to be a racist god-fearin' misogynist hater.

38. I site this kind of mindlessness as one of the main reasons

neither side seems to be able to talk to each other. Grow up people, and behave like civil grown ups.

[struggle4progress]

39. It's an amazing quote: it combines sexism with vulgarity and a call for violence.

[jpak]

3. Teabagger see Teabagger do

yup

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. And he wants to be Senator.

:puke:

[Gregorian]

5. It might be funny if he were Eddie Murphy. It's kind of scary.

6. and these people walk around without keepers--I can guess what kind of relationships they have

[liberal N proud]

7. Sounds like the GOP candidate is inciting violence against his opponent

[Bitwit1234]

8. Shades of the Town Hall Meetings, eh...

looks like prejudice raises it's head. When people slur and flame a person just because they are female, nothing seems to be said. That's not the way it should be..prejudice is prejudice in any form.

[jotsy]

9. What kind of a person not only thinks this sick crap up, but also fails to have the good sense to

keep such whacked out urges to himself when the cameras are rolling.

Yucky yucky yucky, what monsters our minds have the capacity to make us.

[niyad]

11. and I would guess that not one of the talking heads will express outrage and concern over that

comment.

[seabeyond]

14. watching snl last night four seperate jokes about the smell of a woman's vagina.

each one, more crude. seems to be a trend. women are up for grabs with our male community. not isolated. has become a norm..... acceptable. and it isnt just on the right.

[Mari333]

21. snl always sucks, and is so adolescent you can smell the fritos breath on them

they cater to idiots and 12 yr olds. idiocracy, indeed.

[seabeyond]

23. what gets me is the mainstream of it.... conditioning it into acceptablity. nt

[gkhouston]

25. People who are paid to say it... so the radio hate talk shows can talk about the comments

next week?

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. ..so said the teabagger to the teabagee......

[malaise]

12. Did you see the man who just imterrupted

Obama -A fundie who wants to impose his views on women. Police took him out.

[babylonsister]

13. Yes, just tuned in between football. Lots of hecklers, it seems. nt

[annabanana]

18. Funny. . I only heard one. . . . n/t

[Arkana]

15. I noticed something in ol' Scott's ads.

When he claims to be walking around the Southie projects in Boston, not ONCE is he shown talking to someone that isn't LILY-LIVER white.

I mean, you'd think the law of averages would catch up with him, right?

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. They are so caught up in violence

Their answer to just about every problem is a violent act. These people are mentally deranged.

19. This reminds me of the Palin crowds...

Remember them yelling out horrible comments about Obama being a terrorist and "kill him!". It
was disgusting! Of course, since she's dumber than a box of rocks and about as classy as
the cast of Hee Haw--she said nothing.

Same crowd dynamics. Rabid, stupid, full of hate.

Same politician dynamics. Cowardly and idiotic and totally in agreement with a rabid, ignorant crowd of fools.

[TomCADem]

20. The Party of Family Values and Pat Robertson Strikes Again...

At least they did not say "hanger" in reference to abortion.

[Raspberry]

22. Don't you know where that remark came from?

A politically connected dirtbag raped a two-year old with a HOT curling iron, and Martha Coakley was willing to let him off with a slap on the wrist. It was up to her successor to actual see to it that justice was done for that little girl. I believe the politically connected dirtbag is now serving a couple of life sentences.

[seabeyond]

24. kinda like suggeting the guy be gang raped in prison. see how that goes over here on du. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Did you get that information straight from drug-addict Smush Limpballs?

I'll bet you did.

[Raspberry]

29. If you don't believe me,

you can check it out for yourself. Not every D is a paragon of virtue.

28. Wow she seems like a great person to elect to the US Senate. NOT!

[seabeyond]

30. link please. i googled your accusation and all i found were right wing rags

i could not find any factual information that actually explains all that went on with the case. i would have to know about the actual case, what was brought before her and what was later brought

you accusing her with no information at all doesnt cut it, like it would not in a court of law.

[Raspberry]

31. I don't know what sources you would accept

Don't know how you'd feel about this source (which I'd never heard of before) but it seems to present all the facts in an objective manner.

36. read the boston globe. thanks. that is the kind of site i was looking for. nt

[Brickbat]

33. Here's the story.

Pretty ugly.

37. thanks. not sounding good at all. hm.... nt

40. Nothing can justify the crude violent remark. Certainly your ugly misrepresentations cannot.

Identifying the perpetrator correctly in child abuse cases can be difficult. In the interests of justice, and to protect other potential victims, it is important to charge the proper party. Evidence must be obtained and evaluated in a context where claims and counterclaims are common

I am personally aware of a case where a daycare worker was charged with sexually abusing an infant. The claim that the daycare worker was responsible for the abuse was leveled by the mother, after the daycare center notified authorities that there was evidence of abuse. The charges against the daycare worker were eventually withdrawn, and the mother's boyfriend was convicted

As an officer of the court, the prosecutor has an obligation to the truth. Coakley has attributed the original failure, to obtain a true bill in the Winfield case, to lack of evidence tying Winfield to the abuse -- and it is, of course, inappropriate to bring charges unless supported by evidence. I don't know whether your claim that "Coakley was willing to let him off with a slap on the wrist" reflects hallucination, mindless echoing of a wingnut talking point, deliberate dishonesty on your your part, or something else -- but it's pure fiction

34. Sounds like the Sarah Palin rallies during the fall 2008 campaign.

Sounds like the tea parties inciting violence against the President of the United States.
