Senator John Kerry is calling on Republican Scott Brown, who is waging a surging campaign against Democrat Martha Coakley, to curb his supporters, saying they have engaged in "bullying and threats" and that some of them are from out-of-state.
"I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we've seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign rallies. This is not how democracy works in Massachusetts," Kerry said this afternoon.
"Scott Brown needs to speak up and get his out of state tea party supporters under control. In Massachusetts, we fight hard and win elections on the issues and on our differences, not with bullying and threats," Kerry said.
Brown campaign spokesman Felix Browne said, "People are tired of John Kerry's partisan politics. His baseless accusations reflect the desperate last gasps of a flailing campaign."
"Scott Brown is running a positive campaign and has been since the beginning of the race," Browne said in an emailed statement.
Democrats have pointed, among other things, to a video posted on the Web in a Brown supporter can be heard saying, "Shove a curling iron up her butt." Brown can be seen grinning briefly right after the remark.
Browne, the spokesman, said the candidate did not hear the man's remark. He said that the next thing Brown says, "We can do this," is a standard line he uses on the stump.
Kerry is among a phalanx of Massachusetts Democratic elected officials who are working to get Coakley elected to the seat held by the late Edward Kennedy for 47 years.
Kerry also pointed to media reports of the theft and burning of lawn signs and "threatening comments" being posted on Facebook pages of Coakley and her supporters.

Even if this was happening, welcome to what the Demon-Rat thugs have been doing to us conservatives during the OBAMA campaign. Turn-around is fair play!

He's making up sh*t, trying to goad Coakley's toads into hopping to the polls tomorrow.
Seriously. That's EXACTLY what he's doing.

Someone should send Kerry a picture of those NBP “Poll Watchers” from Phila. The brothers with the bats.

Hanoi John also said he'd be signing his SF-180 and publicly releasing his military records. He said that 1814 days ago.

The left always accuses the right of what they do. Everyone needs to be ready to take pics and record any bullying events tomorrow.

I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we've seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign rallies. An outright lie...
Looks like the new lib tactic is to drop her name wherever they can.
Pitiful! Just pitiful!

Poor attempt at a late hit.

I tried to get the Y-tube video of the Black Panthers with the night stick at the door of the polling station in Pa, but guess what it has been removed.Anyway if this woman thinks Lurch is going to help her she needs to think again..
They can send all the idiots they have to help this woman but it will just dig a bigger hole for her to fall into..People are waking up and I am so glad they are.. It says this video has been removed due to terms of use violation..

...”Shove a curling iron up her butt.” - and they inadvertently remind people of AG Coakley’s terrible record (the case of the man who raped his 23 month old relative).
