Scott Brown, here’s my gift to you: ‘Merry Christmas’
By Howie Carr | Friday, December 11, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists

Two words for state Sen. Scott Brown to use in his uphill campaign for the U.S. Senate:

Merry Christmas.

That’s it, just those two simple words. Throw them in at the end of a TV spot, a postscript, just to give the networks some B-roll when they run their inevitable stories about this despicable outburst of . . . Republican hate speech.

Merry Christmas.

The moonbats will go bonkers. Within hours, Scott, you’ll be denounced by every snore-monger at the Globe. First bow-tied bumkisser to compare you to Dick Cheney doesn’t get laid off next month! MSNBC will demand your immediate extradition to The Hague to stand trial in the World Court for . . . something.

But who cares? None of these blow-in, trust-funded drifters from New York was ever going to vote for you anyway, Scott. What you need to do is get Martha Coakley on record, coming out against Merry Christmas, because you know damn well she doesn’t dare utter those two horrible words.

Here are some of the things Madame Moonbat would rather say than “Merry Christmas”:

“Of course Tooky Amirault was framed - but he’s a white male heterosexual, so who cares?”

“Gay marriage? What’s wrong with letting the people of Massachusetts vote, like they did in Maine and California?”

“What part of ‘illegal’ do these illegal aliens not understand?”

Every year, the insufferable PC Posse tries to snuff out any manifestation of yuletide spirit. Now the grinches are even squatting in the White House. Check out the mention in The New York Times [NYT] about how Comrade Barack was considering ditching the Nativity scene in the East Room of the White House.

He was talked out of it - that’s for the second term.

Scott, your task now is to show the electorate who pulls Martha Coakley’s strings. Which side is she on? Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas? Put her on the spot.

Because everyone knows what saying “Merry Christmas” means. It’s not even about religion, it’s about tradition - American tradition. One of the people fighting to restore the Merry Christmas sign at the North Andover firehouse last week was a rabbi. People get it. Even advertisers - don’t you always feel better about a company that’s not afraid to use the “C” word in their spots??

This is one of those rare occasions when a political campaign takes place during Christmas - excuse me, the winter solstice. So you can frame the issue, Scott. Just say Merry Christmas, and we’ll see which side Martha Coakley is on, as if we didn’t know.

Merry Christmas.
