"SHOVE A CURLING IRON UP HER (COAKLEY'S) BUTT" CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED, PERIOD!

[FrenchieCat]

There are some here who believe that the comment, because it is linked to an actual case,
can be stated as the Brown supporter did....and that's Brown's reaction of smiling was well...
kinda of ok.

NEWSFLASH! It wasn't ok....not even a little bit!

In fact, because Brown was holding a Megaphone when this was said,
and yet failed to use it, it means Brown flunked even the low standard Bush Bullhorn moment
that he could have had.

This makes him a bystander, not a leader!

Here's what's happening with that story.
'Curling iron' rape remark leveled at Martha Coakley by Scott Brown supporter may burn GOPer

far as I'm concerned, Brown failed the leadership test, bigtime!
and it will show that whatever Coakley didn't understand about Baseball,
Mr. Brown failed to understand something more important still;
That no matter what, trashy ugly nasty comments cannot be allowed to stand
in reference to any woman, and yet they did. period.

He Mucked up his Truck, IMO!

please know that if a male Democrat would have allowed that to be said,
against a female opponent, the corporate media would have been on this 24/7,
with a loop-D-loop on it being said, and a slow mo of the Democrat's reaction.
I still remember the Obama/Palin "Pig lipstick" controversy from the General election;
the media wouldn't let go.

1. Thanks.

Thruth.

2. I was in some other threads on this......

and I'm telling you, a couple of the posters felt that well, since what was said
was in reference to a real case, it wasn't a big deal.

I think this is a very big deal.

In a country where civility is in short order,
what was said should have been unacceptable to any decent leader.

period.

3. Yes, I know.

I started one of those threads and was debating a fellow DUer on that very point. Unbelievable.

[FrenchieCat]

4. More than unbelievable. More like digusting!

8. Opinions are like the places some people shove curling irons.

...everybody has one.


I disagree with your view, but to each their own.

9. Scott Brown has made it clear that

he is not in favor of any rights for rape victims, so this ugly comment from his supporter fits with him perfectly.

10. just because he's a rethug doesn't mean you can lie about his record

"not in favor of any rights for rape victims?" really? that is a bit of an exaggeration of the record, especially considering he voted (twice) to require that rape victims have access to emergency contraception.

You can't be against someone distorting Martha's past with the curling iron remark, and not be against distorting his record re: rape victims.
