New RW Meme Says An Email Exists Proving That MA Ds Asked Maddow To Run Against Brown
Anybody heard this? The RWers are pointing to this piece in the Boston herald:

Was John Walsh’s post a trick or Tweet?

It may be the first cyber-publicity stunt of the 2012 Senate race, but the way state Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh tells it, it was just a Twitter malfunction.

The buzz, intentional or not, is all about a two-line Twitter message to an unnamed Democratic Senate prospect that Walsh says he posted by accident Friday. Some cynics think the gaffe that now has its own Twitter page, “#walshgate,” happened by accident on purpose.

“Some are talking about you running vs Scott Brown in ’12. I’m Chair of MA Dem Party,” reads Walsh’s “tweet,” which goes on to list his e-mail and cell phone as contact information for the unnamed candidate-in-waiting.

Walsh appeared to catch the snafu hours later, explaining in another tweet: “Oops. You caught me doing my job.”

Walsh told the Herald he meant to send a direct message to another user who is being urged to run against Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in 2012.

“It was unquestionably a technical goof on my part,” Walsh told the Herald. “You know, live and learn.”

1. Bill clinton once said "Don't pick a fight with someone that buys ink by the barrel"
I doubt he made it up but the sentiment is valid in this instance for Brown.. Rachel has the equivelent of ink by the barrel with her show.. Brown should just stop the fucking Lying.....

2. This isn't clear, or I don't understand.
To whom did Walsh send the "tweet" saying “Some are talking about you running vs Scott Brown in ’12."?

3. SO the democrats asked Maddow to run
AND BY A MAGICAL PROCESS SCOTT BROWN KNEW ALL ABOUT IT. Gee no wonder the democrats are losing everything they send all their memos to the republicans. How fantastic.

9. Only Republicans care about this "issue"
Even Rachel was having trouble keeping her viewer interested.
