Ayla Brown ‘completely offended’ by Martha Coakley’s attack Says dad has ‘incredible’ shot at victory By Hillary Chabot Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - Updated 0m ago + Recent Articles + Email

“American Idol” starlet Ayla Brown morphed into a campaign pit bull today for GOP dad Sen. Scott Brown as she tore into Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley for plunging the U.S. Senate race into the gutter.

“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics, and as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that,” said the 21-year-old Brown. “She even spelled Massachusetts wrong in her original ad which is very embarrassing, I must say as a young woman.”

The former Idol contender and Boston College senior sought to further boost her father onto the national political stage as the race intensified amid polls showing it tightening.

“This past campaign season I’ve really seen him evolve,” Brown told the Herald. “I think he has an incredible shot at winning if they just get out there and vote.”

The singer, who belted out “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” during her “American Idol” audition, slammed Coakley for striking a sour note in a new television ad that she said misrepresents her father on the issues.

The spot shows images of a distraught woman at the bottom of a stairwell as a voiceover details a legislative amendment filed by Brown that would have allowed some facilities to deny emergency contraception to rape victims.

“Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading,” Brown said as she defended her doting dad. “I’m here today to say that Martha Coakley should take down her negative ad.”

Coakley’s campaign stood behind their ad but didn’t respond directly to the college hoopster’s sharp elbows.

“We take issue with the regressive legislation that Scott Brown sponsored. Today, he has continued to try to back away from it because of the devastating impact it would have had on women’s health. But he cannot run away from his record,” said Coakley spokesman Corey Welford in a statement.

Ayla broke her silence on the campaign trail in the last stretch of the heated battle to fill the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat. But Brown, standing next to her 19-year-old sister Arianna, said she wasn’t “dragged into the campaign.”

“We are very willing to play a part in my dad’s campaign,” Brown said.

Brown told the Herald Coakley’s inflammatory ad prompted her to speak out. “For our family, especially me being on ‘Idol’ but (also) my dad being in politics, there are always so many people who have something negative to say,” Brown said. “The minute it’s sponsored and the people really believe in false accusations, that’s where we had to draw the line.”

I’m a guy, father of 11 children (see my tag line), by God’s grace.

The pro-abort bullies need to be WITHSTOOD TO THE FACE and called out for the BLOODY BARBARIC SAVAGES that they are, dancing in the blood of innocent children sacrificed on the altar of the god of convenience.
