Republican Scott Brown to file criminal complaint against Massachusetts Democratic Party over flier
The DC ^

Posted on 01/16/2010 2:58:07 PM PST by mnehring

Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for the Massachusetts Senate seat up for election on Tuesday, is filing a criminal complaint against the Massachusetts Democratic Party over a flier claiming he’s against giving emergency contraception to rape victims.

The flier reportedly says “1,736 women were raped in Massachusetts in 2008. Scott Brown wants hospitals to turn them all away,” according to Greg Sargent’s blog.

Dan Winslow, counsel for the Scott Brown for U.S. Senate campaign, will hold a media availability at 4 p.m. today to announce the criminal complaint resulting from a recent mailing paid for and sent by the Massachusetts Democratic Party, according to a press release sent out by the campaign.

Brown has taken heat from Democratic challenger Martha Coakley in the campaign because as a lawmaker in Massachusetts, he once offered an amendment that allows health care workers to opt out of giving emergency contraception to rape victims if doing so conflicts with their beliefs.

“The campaign’s rhetoric has gone from negative to malicious,” Massachusetts Republican party spokeswoman Tarah Donoghue told The Daily Caller from Brown’s weekend bus tour Saturday. “It’s outright offensive and it’s a distortion of Scott Brown’s record.”

Donoghue said Massachusetts GOP chairwoman Jennifer Nassour will also attend Saturday’s announcements at the state GOP headquarters. The Coakley campaign did not immediately return requests for comment.

Brown is running against Coakley in Tuesday’s special election for the Senate seat long served by Sen. Ted Kennedy until he died from brain cancer this summer.

The commie ‘RAT responsible for this garbage should be arrested immediately and the video of him/her doing “the perp walk” should be shown over and over on TV. I’ve had enough of these America hating commie ‘RATS.

You were saying ...

Obama and his fixers are on the job.

President George Bush's reaction to that...

"Obama is going to fix what?!"]

You don't get to the rank of Lt. Col. without being a reasonably tough guy.

“Finally, a conservative who fights back! Good for Brown. I hope he nails them to a cross.”

You have to go their level - if you don’t, you lose by forfeit - that simple. Great move by Brown.

Oh believe me I know. I used to be a Leftie, I know them inside and out and when you strike back, hard and fast, they run for cover. It’s always bothered me since becoming a conservative(and sobering up) that conservatives would never do this. I’m beginning to think(and hope) that conservatives are finally waking up. As Admiral William F. “Bull’’ Halsey used to say, “Hit hard, Hit fast, Hit often’’.
