Campaigns going strong as Kennedy seat race heads into final days (Did he really say that?)
The Boston Globe ^ | 01/13/2010 | Matt Viser, Globe Staff

Posted on 01/14/2010 9:32:51 AM PST by worst-case scenario

From the article: He also claimed that he was unfamiliar with the “Tea Party movement,” when asked by a reporter. When told that different people labeled him a conservative, moderate and a liberal Republican, he responded “I’m a Scott Brown Republican.”

Maybe the Globe reporter misheard him. Sen, Brown was at the Tea Party in Worcester in April! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHFkuui3pTA&feature=player_embedded

Does anyone else have any news article that also state that Se. Brown actually said this?

Perhaps he was being snide, as in, trying to ward off the “teabagger” reference.

Hmmmm Boston Globe, I smell a planted story here. I'd like to see the video, if there isn't one then I'd have to go with desperation in the Coakley camp.

Scott Brown is no conservative. He’s a liberal Republican.

Another Rockefeller Republican, a la Giuliani, Romney, Schwarzenegger, Whitman, etc etc etc....

Exactly, doing their best just like Gergen to find a wedge to split the opposition.

Good move by Scott. The desperate Boston liberal media obviously wants to get him to play whatever game it is they’re playing, and he’s too smart to fall for it.

oh please this is the Globe who has just endorsed the lying woman.

they also said the reporter slipped instead of being attacked so we know how the Globe likes to report

expect more of this on their sites, in their media and even on here with some trolls now coming on here I bet

we’re already won this as they are fighting to keep a seat in a big blue state and which Kennedy had for years.

that is a win for us already
if you’re a Dem elsewhere in the country then they should be afraid and leave obama on his own with his agenda their time is coming

Perhaps, but his election is very important at this point in history.

One of the very few of 68 “Reader Comments” that I find positive for Coakley is somebody harrumphing that she will win because of voter fraud.

Scott Brown is no conservative. He’s a liberal Republican.

He is running in Massachsetts, we will take what we can. ANY Republican winning in Mass. is historic, esp[eciallys so if he takes 'Kennedy's Seat' and helps defeat Obama Care.

Maybe, but it’s MA so don’t expect better. Lets hope he keeps his promise to be the 41st vote. We now Coakley is a hack. This is a case of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Get the country out of the immediate danger of 0bamacare, then worry about cleaning up the GOP. That will be a much tougher job.

correct and yet you know what I bet someone will fall for this maybe even saying he is a liberal or RINO.

The rag just endorsed her today and i asked why did you endorse a woman who lied about seeing an attack, who sen the thug to FL , to our state so they are away from questions and why she can’t answer simple questions while coming out of a place where she took thousands of PHARMA and big corporations plus unions but she complains how Brown is getting money fro around the country off the public

He’s as good as you are going to get in Mass. He is also a vote against Obamacare and says he wants to cut spending across the board. I don’t hear any of the “conservatives” saying that other than Sarah Palin and Ron Paul.

Yeah, he probably is but at this point I’ll take him over Croakley at least we have an imaginary chance of stopping the Obama train without him we have no chance.

If he does win (or comes damn close) it will be a wake-up call to the Dim senators in the marginally Dim states that we’ll ne looking for them too.

Being “unfamiliar” is different than knowing nothing.

I suspect he actually knows a little about the Tea Party movement, but maybe not enough to make an informed statement.
I doubt the regional news media really had had much coverage of the Tea Party movement in his state, so he actually may not know much except it was a citizens rally (if he actually attended one).

We have millions of people who watch MSM news but are still completely clueless. But Brown appears to understand the right things to take to DC.

Does that mean he’s worse than Coakley, or Teddy Kennedy for that matter? The people of Massachusetts will make their decision.
