Martha Coakley, Arrogant Moron? (UPDATED)

You have GOT to be kidding me!!  Wow – as a diehard Yankees fan, thus well aware of the RSN – Coakley has committed a grevious sin indeed.

RRRA
You prove my point.  This is not a woman thing.  You are a woman but you understand sports and the fans’ love for particular players.  What is Coakley’s dysfunction.  She made an anti-Fenway Park crack the other day.  Yikes!  There are certain things you don’t do in Massachusetts–diss the Red Sox or take a dump on the Boston Commons.

Thanks Amy.  You’re the best.

Scott Brown claiming that Ted Kennedy was a Ronald Reagan Republican..

No but, Obama claimed Ronald Reagan was a Democrat while in Harry Reid’s neck of the woods, once apon a time.

BIG oopsie daisy, Martha!.  Big, Big, Big.  Re: Curt Schilling, “Well, he’s not there anymore” is probably the WORST thing Martha could say now.

As I’ve mentioned in one of R3 Amy’s other threads on her beloved Yankees, I don’t follow sports much and am glad so many folks inlcuding our R3 Amy take special delight in their interests, baseball being a very AMERICAN interest.  I do know, absolutely do know, that a candidate must know her/his possible constituents, including their local sports faves.  It’s the BOSTON Red Sox, fer gunniss sakes, like, the state capital, like where the AG of MA works, dontcha know?

If ya don’t know details important to your electorate, have your staff give you a cheat sheet so at least you sound current.  Sheesh.

In fact, Obama offered praise for the Gipper, lauding him for tapping into the country’s concern with the growth and “excesses” of the federal government, and its desire to “return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship” — hardly a welcomed interpretation within progressive circles. Said the Illinois Democrat:

All those kids that grew up Red Sox Fans vote.

Thanks, Larry!  So are you!

LOL – oh, my – but yes – you are right in your assessment as to what is permissible in Boston…

And I heard that – Coakley’s crack at Fenway Park.  WTH is wrong with her?  Does she know anything abt Boston at ALL?  What’s next, she’s going to talk smack abt the Patriots and how much she likes the Ravens?  Wassup with her??

And no, this is not a woman thing at all.  How anyone who has spent any time at all in Boston could be so out of touch, especially a politician, is just staggering.

Yeah, she wants to lose…

  Thanks for the shout out!  You are so right, even if one doesn’t follow sports, if one is a politician, one better damn well know who the teams are.  Iis it hubris?  Arrogance?  Or sheer ignorance?  How in the world can she say these things? 

Trust me when I tell you, you cannot live in Boston and not know what is happening with any ONE of their sports teams, whether it be on tv, in the newspaper, on the radio, everywhere.

Martha’s statement about Curt Shilling is not a man or woman thing.  It’s an American thing.  Know your baseball, Martha, or don’t talk about it!

After tuesday, they may find Martha nailed to the green monster.

I thought Hillary did a good job of this venue during the primaries and no one took umbrage.

Martha Martha Martha

Oh my! Even though I’m still an Astros fan, I’m married to a member of the Red Sox nation. I have to believe Curt Schilling is fuming about this misspeak. How insulting to  a pitcher who once played with a bleeding leg because he wouldn’t leave the mound during a key game! There are some things you don’t insult in these parts.
I almost feel sorry for Martha.

…and this was from a woman who was born and raised in MA. 

Shame on you Martha.

I listened to Karl Rove this evening on Gteta and he said that the optics are not going to be good for Barry to come to MA and stump for a losing candidate.

Seems like a dumb mistake. I am sure Martha misspoke. I think she is under a lot of pressure, as the GOP is trying to steal the Kennedy seat that is rightfully hers.

…and this was from a woman who was born and raised in MA.  
 
Shame on you Martha. 
 
I listened to Karl Rove this evening on Greta and he said that the optics are not going to be good for Barry to come to MA and stump for a losing candidate when there are more pressing matters to address.

I think the optics of The Big Dawg, our girl and Dubya in Haiti will be VERY interesting!

Barry is not a real President.  He just plays one on TV.

Here’s another “gaffe” for Martha…

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/12199/Coakley_Senate_Candidate_Husbands_Union_Endorses_Scott_Brown_Latest_Poll.html

“The GOP is trying to steal the Kennedy seat?”

That’s a real winning statement. 

Haven’t you been listening to the hum from the hive or paying attention at all?  Martha Coakley took a huge lead and turned this into a horserace.  The Dems are multplying the disaster with what is clearly bad advice.  Brown comes out of the weeds and states in Monday’s night debate that the seat belongs to no one but the people of Massachusetts and his numbers surge.

Steal?  No the Dems are throwing this race by a series of boneheaded mistakes and ridiculous stumbles.

Have you been hiding under a rock, FF?  You cannot put lipstick on this one.  It’s a disaster!  And if Coakley loses, the blame belongs to her and the Democrats.  Not to mention the botched Healthcare bill.

As far as Martha Coakley being under a lot of pressure.  She should feel nervous.  She’s losing.

It really isn’t a woman thing….it is a politician thing.  They are ALL asked about local sports teams or important games. 

This is an easy way to gain points with the voters, show them your fun side with a quick witty remark and Coakley blew it. 

Compare Coakley with Clinton…

Hillary went to the Philippines and knew to root for Pacman and of course got huge applause.  Calling Manny Pacquiao by his nickname no less when she made the prediction on the upcoming fight.  In this article she even gives a little love to stateside teams at the same time. 

http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-us-philippines-clinton-pacquiao&prov=ap&type=lgns

Well she said earlier that catholics shouldn’t work in the emergency room. That demonstrated a level of disdain for about 40% of the state right there. Now this slight against the Red Sox pitcher after dissing Red Sox fans the other day… are there enough people to bus in to vote to make up for all of this? I wouldn’t think so. Maybe they know they are done for already and the handlers given her are backbuilding an excuse. Then again, maybe she is just that ignorant and arrogant. Maybe it’s both.

Thank you Jackarooty.  I sourced NoQuarter on BeforeItsNews.com

All I can say is when Acorn goes to St Mary’s cemetary to enroll my father they may not get the results they hope for.  He died wishing for that world series he never saw.  He would vote for brown saying “that one thinks she’s somthing”

Well, Reagan was a Republican when he was Governor and President.  He was originally a Democrat but as he famously stated  he didn’t leave the DNC, the DNC left him. 

As many of you felt in the last election the DNC stopped standing for human dignity and the best of what America has to offer. He just got the clue a lot earlier.

LOL  I can see the political cartoon now.   OH PAAT!!   here’s one for ya

Yes, you could take JFK and Reagan, put them together and they would agree on a lot of things. I don’t think JFK and Obama could even sit together. The DNC has more than left democrats, they are somewhere between China and Venezuela in how they want to govern.

This is indeed a serious gaffe–it would be like telling everyone in Boston that Sam “Mayday” Malone always wanted to pitch for the Yankees!  (Okay, baseball trivia is not my bag.)

his is indeed a serious gaffe–it would be like telling everyone in Boston that Sam “Mayday” Malone always wanted to pitch for the Yankees!

This is indeed a serious gaffe–it would be like telling everyone in Cheers and all of Boston that Sam “Mayday” Malone always wanted to pitch for the Yankees! 

PS:  Another poll, this one from the American Research Group:

Brown 48%

Coakley 45%

These numbers and stats are no longer outliers,  FF.  Martha Coakley is in serious trouble.  Link here:

http://americanresearchgroup.com/

“GOP is trying to steal the Kennedy seat that is rightfully hers.”

First of all, it’s an election and the voters decide, so theft doesn’t enter into it. Unless ACORN gets involved, of course. It is NOT the Kennedy seat, as Scott Brown pointed out, it’s the peoples’ seat. And it’s not rightfully hers either. Whoever sits in that seat will be decided by the VOTERS of MA, not the DNC, or the Kennedy’s. No seat is “rightfully” anyone’s until the voters say it is. And they haven’t said it’s Martha’s yet. And they may not say so, if the political winds keep blowing against her. And it’s a gale force wind right about now, caused mostly by her own stupid mistakes.

Jeez Christ! Unbeleivable! Red Sox Nation is in shock!  Somebody ask
her what team Josh Beckett pitches for, then ask her about the injuries to Kevin Garnett!  Lol!   Calling Curt a YANKEE FAN  is the ultimate insult to the savior of Red Sox nation!  Btw, My wife who is not native born and was an Obama  fan just said to me : “The one thing Obama would be good at is running Cambridge Ma”   ROFLMAO!

3 to 1. If the Coakley loses, goodnight democrats you have earn it.

Who doesn’t recognize greatness in a sports figure particularly when it is in your own backyard.   We’re not from Boston, but we all watched Curt pitch while he was bleeding in his sock.  What discipline, determination, and sheer will power, it was amazing.   She needs to pull her head out of her butt and at least act like she knows what is going on in MA.

If this is what it takes for her to lose this election, so be it.  Dumbasses shouldn’t be Senators.

Clip of her comment which made the news. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TheqmcY-VDQ

She just keeps digging herself in deeper , I am not even from this state and now I am ready to lay some money down on Brown to WIN . It’s horse race and how will It look if Obama stumps for Coakley and she doesn’t win . Look at all the pretty pictures there will be of that.

I am wrong…he’s gone.

(Bart writing on the blackboard 500 times)

This is incredible.  Even I know better on the baseball and Boston.  And that pretty much says it.

Jakie S. How do you shoot so well?

Don’t you just love the Rebeccas of Sunnybrook Farm?   The big, bad GOP are trying to steal the seat that is rightfully Martha’s…  Yeah, and aliens stole Jimmy Hoffa.

Hey, FF, do you know your Union history since Obama is such a big bag man for the unions?

What’s wrong with Martha Coakley?  She seems to be hell-bent on self-destruction.  Her campaign this past week could best be described as “dumb and dumber”.  Has she always been this way and no one noticed?

the GOP is trying to steal the Kennedy seat that is rightfully hers.

WOW! Just wow! So you are saying Kennedy holds it in perpetuity?

You must be a Dead Kennedy

don’t know how accurate these polls are but Coakley appears to be tanking.  And it could not happen to a better person.  Coakley is just another looney lib following King Obama.

The libs plan on sending mighty Obama to Massachusetts to help Coakley.  If Coakley wins guess who takes all of the credit?  Mr. B+ will reward himself with an A, claiming he pulled it out for the libs.  But if Coakley loses get who gets all of the blame?  Obama has not yet decided whether to blame Coakley or Bush.  Last week Obama had a hangnail and blamed Bush.  Bush is always the default for that jerk.

“Freedom Fighter”

This idiot is aptly named, he is fighting freedom every step of the way.  He voted for Obama who is doing a good job of taking away our freedoms.  Another lib drone who would have followed the Jim Jones cult that was supposed to bring utopia but brought misery instead. 

“unless acorn gets involved…”  hahaha!  Well said.  Apparently the troll thinks the senate is the House of Lords or something.  In the 1800′s.

Jeez, I wonder if Martha has a drinking problem? 

I don’t think Obama wants to help Coakley win.  He is such a woman hater!  Has he ever helped a woman candidate before?  Crap, has he ever helped anyone before?

Not that I am a fan of Al Frankenstein, I am in MN and know some people with deep DFL connections.  They all said Obama refused to help Franken.  At all.  Would do absolutely zippo for him.  The Clintons, both Hillary and Bill, had to come and stumpfor Franken several times.  As a matter of fact, I heard from many people, some delegates for Clinton, who said all the Dems were ticked off because he would not help anybody.

Personally, I think they do want Coakley to lose.  I would not be surprised to see some secret documents released (it’s the Chicago way) soon.  The Dems are in a lose, lose situation.  If Coakley wins, Healthcare is most likely a go.  If she loses, it’s most likely a no.  I think the Dems all know that it would be better to lose and not get Healthcare reform done.  They can blame it on Coakley.  If Health Care goes through and hurts this nation as it will, they will lose BIG in 2010.  They may be able to lose Health Care and do a little image repair between now and November.  It’s tough, but not as tough as it will be if they get Healthcare and those taxes destroying the economy even more!  I think they want to lose their key agenda item, but with a scapegoat!

Excellent!  Hannity has sunk his teeth into this election.  I hope he sees this story.

Maybe, but also maybe they want a reason to do the reconciliation thing. You know with 59 and they need just 51 they can let the 8 most vulnerable or most free willed whichever off the hook and go with 51. The republicans will complain, and the democrats will say they had to because they only have the 59. They will have to scale the plan back, then blame the scaleback on the republicans and the 51. Meanwhile Obama just makes do with what he has and blames anything that goes wrong on the republicans in the senate, which are about to replace Bush as scapegoat. I still think 2010 will be a bloodbath for them however. They have screwed the pooch with the people of this country. They never had the mandate they imagined they had. I think they believed their own press corps over what the people were saying and are saying. They think they know better than us what is best for us. Only because they are drunk on the wine of academia and in the belief that it ‘s knowledge trumps humanity itself. It does not.

I guess they missed the sarcasm huh!

What an idiot. The Dems are already trying to paint her as “Creigh Deeds” in Virginia, a “lackluster candidate,” blah, blah, blah. Why Obama is going to campaign for her, I don’t know. Probably because he just can’t believe he won’t be able to save the day, his ego won’t allow him to even think it. 

I hope Brown wins, because I want a big smack-down for Democrats. 

I am sick of their brazen lies. Gibbs says “Coakely will fight for Massachusetts, while Brown “only cares about Big Insurance.”

That is simply ludicrous after Coakley goes down to DC for her big fundraiser with Big Insurance and Big Pharma. 

And, now, Chuck Schumer weighs in and says Brown is a “far right, tea-bagger.” 

Such desperate lies and attacks deserve a smack-down. “BIG-TIME.” 

f

Oh_My_God! This administration and Dem leadership are morons. 


DSCC runs an ad to attack Brown, and screws the pooch–completely.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/A_Trade_Center_image_in_DSCC_spot.html

Assume that she was told she would pay for sticking with principle on health care and is looking for a guarnateed loss, there has to be a better way. This is almost embarrassing to watch….

I have to say, I love the Mass Miracle clip. It gives me chills.

Is Coakley a Republican plant?

This is the more serious question, and leads me to believe it could be true.  Her gaffe’s are designed to “piss-off” the people of the (Republic) of MA to the point that a republican will win the seat, thus ensuring the failure of the HC Bill blaming it’s failure on the Republican’s, in turn minimizing the democratic loss in the mid-term elections.

Speaking of “W”. It was during his tenure that this collaborative outreaach by ex POTUS’ began. I find it interesting that BO spent his entire first year and into his year BLAMING BUSH for everything, and now is asking Pres Bush for help. It, of course is the right thing to do, but  it shows me that BO has no core values. He and his gang really know how to use people. 

Excuse me. That would be”the people’s seat”. Seems to me she’s serving it up on a silver platter and then asking, “is there anything else I can bring you?”

samb, I’m in CAmoment, and donated during the moneybomb (Monday) and yesterday. I don’t agree with Brown on everything. I don’t expect to agree with any candidate on everything. but right now, at this moment stopping the hc bill and voters realizing they can make a difference is what matters most to me.

I mentioned before the photo of Coakleys “goon” pushing the reporter is a metaphor of this government’s strong-arm tactics with the public. And that’s the common ground that citizens of all political stripes find themselves. 

She sure is the gift that keeps on giving…I fell off my chair last night when I heard her…I was listening on the radio…commentator was shocked I tell ya, shocked…LOL..
As for “The DivineMsM”….when she looses this race, and she will…she
can apply for a job in Mass General’s Emergency Room…or…better still at one of the Caritias Hospitals in Boston…sure they will welcome her with open arms…after all, she is so knowledgeable.

Interesting take. Regarding those “secret documents”, would that be her birth certificate/college transcripts?

I was shocked that she didn’t receive the endorsement of law enforcement. She’s the AG for christsakes!!

Hmmm…”Embedding disabled by request Watch on YouTube”.  But it won’t play on YouTube. 

Disabled by request from whom?  Curiouser and curiouser.

Surely FF’s comment was snark.

“Probably because he just can’t believe he won’t be able to save the day, his ego won’t allow him to even think it.”

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, mountainaires.  There was a video clip linked to here the other day of Obama making a plea for Coakley’s election.  Only, he wasn’t really talking about her.  He was campaigning for himself.  

While I think Obama would have no trouble whatsoever throwing Coakley under the bus if she loses, the loss itself would infuriate him.

May we get to see that. 
 

Hey, even BO tried to bowl a few frames to impress the masses.
What a blunder for Coakley!
NASCAR fans cheered Bush and booed Gore, and they went to the voting booths for good measure.
If you are looking for avid supporters, sports’ nuts are easy pickings!

That mistake is a bummer. It does make her sound out of touch and disrespectful towards the people. LOL, I don’t know if I’d quite use Larry Johnson’s words, “arrogant moron”, but I get the point.

You know Teak, when Thee One first emerged from the Greek Column array at the Dem Convention, he was so much smaller!  It’s amazing how he’s grown in stature since then.  Good picture!

Sorry Larry, with all due respect for you and all you do, I cannot accept your description of Coakley as an “Arrogant Moron”.  When I first saw it, it immediately reminded me of the primary and how the obots attacked Hillary and everyone who supported her with the same kind of personal attack.

She’s arrogant, yes, but I don’t think she deserves to be called a moron for any reason.  Again, it is a reminder of just how easy it is to slip into these kinds of personal affronts towards women without recognizing the underlying misogyny attached. 

It’s tantamount to calling obama an “arrogant boy” and appearing at one of his rallys screaming “shine my shoes”.  Such attacks would be called out as having racist undertones and rightfully so.  Unfortunately, when it comes to criticizing women, the sky’s still the limit.

Good picture, Teak!  You know, when Thee One first emerged from the Greek Pillar array at the Dem Convention, he was so much smaller!  It’s amazing how he’s grown in stature since then!

Can we call Obama an arrogant moron?
Where are the other 7 or 9 states he did not visit?  Give it a rest.
Larry has it right and misogyny has nothing to do with it.

I think she’s a moron.  But in fairness to your point I’ve changed the title to a question.  That way each reader can decide for themselves.  Thanks Kathleen.

FROM THE BOSTON HERALD:

Said Clinton,

 “I thought Massachusetts knew more about American history than anybody else,

and understood the Boston Tea Party was a revolt against abuse of power, not

against government itself.”

——————————————————————————————————-

Mmmmm…..

Got it , President  Clinton!!!

Thanks, Larry for listening.  I really appreciate it and I agree with the addition of the question mark!

Especially since her husband is a retired “acted stupidly” Cambridge Police officer. Maybe the fact that she protected a Union connected child rapist from prosecution has something to do with it as well. Her record as a prosecuter is obscene.

Oh, for crying out loud!  I thought the r@cist card had been retired.  Then you come along and equate “moron” with “n*gger”.

In case you didn’t know, “moron” is not gender-specific.  How you got from there to “shine my shoes” is beyond me. 

More political correctness from someone who can’t make an argument any other way.

Well, she might not be a Republican plant but could be a Democratic plant. Think about it. How many Democrats in the Senate want her to lose so the steaming crap of the health care reform will hopefully die too and they won’t be held as accountable the next time their up for reelection?  So, who’s to say some Democratic machine hasn’t gotten to her and made it worth her while to lose or strongly suggested to win would not be a good thing for her?  I find it hard to believe because if that were so, I can’t see Obama tripping down there to offer support because he certainly doesn’t need to be associated with another loosing anything.

So…  we can just call it it what it probably is: a candidate who sees their ship sinking fast, is panicking and staying stupid things without thinking. If so, and this is how she behaves under pressure, it’s best she not be Senator. 

Obviously neither Coakley or Obama are “moron” in the sense of borderline mental retardation but I do agree if you mean deficient in judgment and good sense…

She will loose BIG on Tuesday.

She also thinks that Brady is a Jets Fan.

Cambridge cops endorsed Scott!

The seat does NOT rightfully belong to Martha Coakley.  It rightlfully belongs to someone with the last name of Kennedy, provided that they also share the genetic DNA material that was bequeathed by Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.

No.  FF is one of our obot droids assigned to annoy with silly hopenchangen messages.

She is making rookie mistakes even with all the “big gun” resources. Doug Hoffman up in NY 25 did a better job.

Looks like Brown is a sleaze. Great opinion piece exposing him in the Globe.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/14/browns_failure/

ROTFLMAO abt the Yankees ad!!  That’s hilarious!!  Though, I wouldn’t blame Brown for getting a tat of Derek Jeter! 

HaHa, Teak.  Thee One may have been confused by Blago’s hair into thinking that perhaps he might be a legitimate heir to the K-Seat.  I’m sure he hadn’t yet examined his DNA test results.  Of course Thee One Himself was the last Kennedy Brother, as proven by Chris Matthews, but as he was elected President, he could not assume his rightful Kennedy Seat in the Senate.

I agree with Larry.  Arrogant, yes.  Moron, yes.  Woman, beside the point.

Coakley stepped into the box expecting a walk, but Brown delivered a curve ball!
Look, she started organizing and hiring staffers as soon as Kennedy was diagnosed. If she is unprepared for the challenge, the blame lies with her, and her gender is not an issue.

It’s the Boston Globe, the bastard sister of the NYT’s.  They have not published anything negative about a Dem since JFK was a baby.

Who wouldn’t want a tat with Jeter?

creeper,

You tell that to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the MSM who jumped at anything that looked like racism and no one attacked them for pointing it out. 

Yet, any woman who points out sexism is immediately attacked.  You just proved my point.

The K-seat does NOT rightfully belong to Martha Coakley.  It rightfully belongs to someone with the last name of Kennedy, but only provided that they also share the genetic DNA material that was bequeathed by Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.

She’s either being set up or cracking under her own weight…either way  staking ones a reputation on THE CAUSE is a hell of a way to go…

And if Brown wins, the fallout could go beyond healthcare as Dems. wouldn’t have their 60 votes to end filibusters on other issues either. It could prompt more retiring from Congress if they finally see the political climate has shifted so much against them.

From a comment at HA:

key finding – Brown up 58/42 on already cast ballots:
A total of 9% of likely voters say they have already voted by absentee ballot, with Brown leading Coakley 58% to 42%.

take a good look at all the comments following the article.  almost 90% PISSED OFF BOSTIONANS and MASSACHUSETTS residents who know better and can see through that liberal megaphone.  Oh Massachusetts don’t make me look bad on tuesday.  everyone is watching us and if we vote in that charlatian choackly I won’t be able to show my face in the rest of the 49 states.   UGH

Coakley stepped into the box expecting a walk, but Brown delivered a curve ball!

Or perhaps, Sassy, Brown delivered a bean ball, and Coakley is now sprawled out at the plate, birdies flying in circles around her head.  Oh wait–who is that stepping out of the dug-out and walking towards the plate, a stern look on his face . . . Manager Obama will fix this situation . . .

Coakley did as she was told by the obama administration by coming out in support of his HC plan.  Don’t blame Coakley for the people being fed up with the obama administration’s Chicago politics.  She is the recipient of their angst and was not expecting the citizens of MA, who stood by Teddy when he was advocating this HC plan, to use her as their punching bag.

The race in MA is a dress rehearsal for 2010, when the rest of the country expresses its outrage over the failed policies of the obama administration.

This is why Oh blah blah is going to Mass on sunday whining :  “Please, Please, PLEEEEEAAAAAASE vote for Martha.  PLEEEEEAAAASE  don’t make me look bad.  Don’t let my legacy fall flat.  OH FOR THE SAKE OF GOD!!!   She’s my ally.  she’s a dem like me.  OH GOD DON”T LET ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL WORSE THAN CARTER.”

People here in Mass are SO SICK OF THE KENEDYS and them having to get away with MURDER left and right.   >:o

Funny oowawa!
Manager? Did you see BO pitch?
He couldn’t be the ball boy!

Mary cusack,

Why did you guys keep sending him back to D.C.?

Now THAT would be hilarious!  I do think a day is coming where barrakula will have to show his, but that is a whole ‘nother thread!

That’s a no-brainer. I would blame any newcomer for not realizing they are not Ted Kennedy and there is no longstanding loyalty to them.

I, too, think they will be shocked at the 2010 bloodbath, no matter what happens, they are screwed.  I think the dems really believe that the people will forget by then.  The Dems are stupid.  I cannot believe how much!

Wowsie.  I have been about choking to refer to myself as a Rethuglican, but Dumbocrats are even harder to align myself with.I have finally decided that when asked about my political affiliation,the only response I can stomach is to call myself a Clintoncrat!

I think this is probably the closest to the truth.  I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with Martha Coakley.  From everything I’ve read she’s had good marks in MA and is generally well-respected.  But once she did a pivot on the healthcare bill [after criticizing the bill during the primary run] and turned herself over to the Dem machine, she started going down the drain.  The additional missteps and stumbles have only added to the numbers going in the toilet.

Brown is riding the wave of genuine discontent, primarily over the botched healthcare legislation and DCs unwillingness to listen to the public.  The economy has tanked and what do we get?  Lies.  You can’t even get decent unemployment numbers.  Everything is massaged, tweaked or steamrolled into place.

This isn’t a Republican drive.  It’s an American movement and it reaches across party lines.  From recent polling nearly 20% of the Democratic MA electorate is planning to vote for Brown.  His command of the “unenrolled” vote is stunning, nearly 3 to 1 and represents 51% of Massachusetts voters.

So what is the message to Washington, Obama and the Democratic majority? Maybe it’s simply this:

Can you hear us now??   

It looks like Coakley is really bombing with Boston crowds and Red Sox Nation.  Maybe if she warmed up the crowds by telling a couple of jokes about Ted William’s frozen head . . .

And the byline is Yvonne Abraham, queen Coakley shill.
Trashing Brown for a not supporting a bill that he, um-VOTED FOR.
Genius.

It is almost like living in Philadelphia and rooting for the Cowboys. I bet she can not do the strut either!!!!!!!!!

WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

creeper? The youtube play ok when at youtube. Any way nice shooting Jakie

Kathleen, the misogyny card and racist card do not play well here.  There are commenter’s here that by now are experts on these subjects.
Nice of you to comment but relax on the gender thing.

What are you talking about?  According to you, “moron” is a derogatory term for women only and “arrogant” is a derogatory term for blacks only.  Following your logic, an arrogant moron would be a derogatory term for a black women only.  Yet Coakley is a white woman.  And you said Coakley is arrogant which, according to you, is equivalent to calling Coakley a derogatory black term.  You are tripping all over yourself trying to get in on creating your version of political correctness.  Which makes you, as well as Coakley, morons.

This is just another example why I have no interested in lib created political correctness.

I’m with you, Larry.
(And I’ve seen you call just about everyone a moron-you are truly an equal opportunity insulter!)

Wow lady, you must be dancing in the streets feeling like you won your first poliical correctness battle with a question mark.  Move over Jackson and Sharpton.

Great opionion piece from me to you:  Pull your head out of Obama’s ass.

I think we must also remember, in deciding who should inherit the Ted Kennedy seat, that the wise philosopher Chris Matthews has determined that Barack Obama is the Last Kennedy Brother, and therefore it should be Thee One’s rightful prerogative to bestow Thee Seat upon whomsoever He deems fit.

Exactly!

Hey, Kathleen – nice to *see* you again! 

Perhaps Obama will  <a href=”http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/14/AR2010011403872.html?nav=hcmoduletmv”> Make things absolutely Clear</a>

This is shocking in it’s stupidity. Already she had ridiculed Brown for standing outside Fenway Park in the cold shaking the hands of Red Sox fans.  Now this?  This stinks of desperation.  Her ship is sinking fast and every effort of hers to right the ship just makes it sink deeper and deeper.  Unbelievable.  Schilling had endorsed Brown so apparently Coakley was trying to neutralize that, but if she is this out of touch…  unbelievable

LOL!!

I just listened to the clip of Martha saying Schilling is a Yankees fan.  I am starting to wonder, is Martha so out of touch that she didn’t know who Curt Schilling is?  That is the ONLY reason I can think of that she would say something so stupid, this has to be a gaffe.  I’ve lived in MA all my life and our sports are religion, Martha does want to win and if she knew anything about the Red Sox she never could have said anything this idiotic.  Ugh.  On another note I saw a pickup truck this morning with a huge homemade Scott Brown billboard across the top of the cab.  And on the back of the truck a sign “I’m not a racist, I just don’t like socialists”.

ff, get you head out of that dark place and do so thinking. oh yeah put down the kooliad.

I agree, oowawa.  The sense of “entitlement” is driving people nuts, this whole idea that a Senate seat is owed to a particular family or party, particularly when the party itself has fallen off the rails.

The meme under the radar right now is all about how a loss in Massachusetts would not in any way reflect on Obama and the Dem majority. What a bunch of shameless weasels.  They’re already preparing to run back and forth over Coakley and dump her in a graveyard.

This is not my mother’s Democratic Party. 

This is so true!  We are insanely loyal fans here in MA.  She won’t be able to run for dogcatcher now.  If you insult our players, oh, you are in deep, deep trouble, and we never forget anyone who does so.

She spoke poorly about Catholics in the emergency room, but I know where she was coming from.  Brown sponsored a bill to permit Catholic hospitals to refuse to give the morning after pill to rape victims, which is horrific.  Badly misstated, but she has a point that if you don’t want to provide healthcare you might just be in the wrong business.

No, she’s been smart and disciplined as a prosecutor and as attorney general.  Looks like she’s falling apart under the stress.

She was a strong and principled attorney general who was unafraid to take unpopular stands.  I’m not excusing it, but it looks like she’s bowing to the Obama machine because she wanted the seat – maybe they gave her no choice, I don’t know.  I’m deeply disappointed in her, but she isn’t looney and she is a good person.

No she is not a plant.  She’s been a strong democrat here for years.

She didn’t seem confident at first but then when Rea corrected her about Shilling playing for the Red Sox, she said, Well, he isn’t there anymore…Which has about as much to do with being a Yankees fan as Guiliani’s support of Scott Brown…

I don’t always agree with Larry but he is no sexist.  Free speech allows all of us to call it like we see it, which is all he was doing I believe. 

Larry, I don’t always agree with you – for example once in awhile you’re not as hard on Obama as I might be – but I support your right to express your opinion.  I resent the suggestion that you are sexist. I’ve lived in MA all my life and to insult Curt Schilling, well, moron is the gentlest thing that could be said about a comment of such incredible stupidity.  Thanks for all you do. 

Cracking up here!!!!  Way too funny.

You’re right, they’re a democratic stronghold of a paper, but they did publish a front page piece crticizing Coakley the other day. 

No one had the balls to run against him.  No one thought you could actually run against the memory of Camolot.  I NEVER voted for him.  Most people just stayed home during the mid terms.  he never really had any oppostion.  that’s why I think so many of us are energized by this election.. YOU MEAN WE HAVE A CHOICE???.  You mean it isn’t Kennedy’s seat.  smell that?  its the scent of freedom

You’ll enjoy this one Larry,

Ex-Red Sox star slams Democrat for Yankees quip
Posted: January 16th, 2010 12:35 PM ET

“Curt Schilling has been involved in a lot of strike outs over time,” the spokesman said. “I guess Martha whiffed on that joke.”

Oh yeah, sure, that’s what she meant to say.  Yep, “Schilling has been involved in a lot of strike outs over time”….vs/  Curt “Schilling is a Yankees Fan”.   Oh, definitely  ….I’m weighing the striking similariities here….just a screw up of maybe 11 words, that’s all.  The likeness in statements is so eerily similar.  I can see how she messed up on those 11 words. :-E  

Link, sorry,
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/16/ex-red-sox-star-slams-democrat-for-yankees-quip/

Sorry, but when over half the state is CAtholic, you don’t trash the Catholics to get into office by saying that “they can’t work in the emergency room” if they are against abortion, giving out RU-486 pills (which, by the way, have killed numerous women and is NOT a form of health care), putting DNR’s on everyone’s hospital chart who is over the age of 70, etc., etc.  And I’m not exaggerating by much. 

I’m sorry, I would much rather go to a Catholic hospital where I know that they really respect the dignity and sanctity of life, than one where abortionists and others who wish to pull the plug on people are on staff. 

And, being a nursing student and a Catholic, I DO expect to exercise my right to conscientiously object with morally objectionable drugs and procedures and “omissions” that go against my conscience and my personal spiritual beliefs.  This lady is crazy, and I’d take Scott Brown over her any day, even if I don’t completely agree with him 100%.  I’d much rather have the freedom to speak and act on my beliefs, and have patients be comfortable with knowing that they can seek out good care from persons who care about their dignity and right to life, or to have the option to seek out other means of treatment/non-treatment as well.  We should continue to protect our right to free speech, and health care workers’ right to “First, do no harm”.

Massachusetts Health care workers, PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE!!

Yes, wasn’t it JFK that said “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what YOU can do for your country?”  This administration asks the opposite – “Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country (the government) can do for YOU!”

JFK is probably rolling over in his grave.

The above is from me…..not guest!

OMG, what are you on?

Your comment has made my day!  The sweet smell of Freedom.  Let it ring! 

Please!  Perception is everything and if a woman cannot respond honestly about what came across as the kind of personal attack that we dealt with during the primary without fear of being attacked, then we’ve learned nothing.

If those of you who believe I’m just being overly PC and wrong in my response to Coakley being called a moron, then you should also feel the same way about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who never feel they are being overly sensitive to any hint of racism. 

In case you didn’t notice, racism has become more abhorent to the general public than sexism has precisely because Al and Jesse were not ashamed or intimidated from speaking about it, even if you thought they were being overly sensitive.  You still respected their passion for ending it.

Until women are given that same respect (which I knew Larry would give me), then we will never eradicate sexism.  In fact, by Larry’s responding to my concerns without attacking me is why I respect him as much as I do.

Gee Mark, you must be having a thrill up your leg to find any and all excuse to attack me!  You are the reason I will never be silent because men like you hide behind fained outrage towards a woman to excuse your total lack of respect for women in general.

I never claimed Larry was a sexist, but that the title of his article sounded like he was not paying attention to the same kind of attack that Hillary and Sarah endured throughout the primary and GE.

Sexism will never be eradicated as long as any women who has the nerve to speak out when she perceives it being expressed, whether by accident or deliberate, is attacked.  Such attacks are  not warranted and only proves my point of just how integral putting down a woman is in our society whenever you disagree with them for any reason.

Kathleen, I kinda agree with Mark on the question mark thing but I sure do like your tenacity.

Animal Control,

Thank you for not attacking me!  What has been totally ignored (except by Larry) is that I truly did feel that calling Coakley an “Arrogant Moron” with such certitued was the kind of remark that the obots threw at Hillary and Sarah and I’m just not going to stand on the sidelines any longer and let it pass.

Ironically, Larry totally understood where I was coming from, but far too many people under the rationale of defending him against mean ol me, have gotten so caught up in a “gang mentality” with their desire to shred Coakley to pieces and me along with her, that they aren’t paying attention to what I was saying or what they are saying.

I’ve just had enough of this kind of thinking and it will never stop if you don’t stand up to it.

My intent was to show that it’s now time to look past gender and race and look at the act.

It was moronic to make such a statement about Schilling.

I understand the “poor downtrodden woman” part, but sheesh do we always have to take the whining low road?

You’re welcome Kathleen, I can almost guarantee that as for detesting sexism in it’s many forms you will have many comrades in arms here.

Win or lose this race will send a very chilling message to every Democrat who heretofore believed they were in a “safe” seat. if they are still dumb enough to vote for this reckless Obamacare then they should expect to find other employment soon.

Win or lose Coackley and the Obama administration have already lost what should not have been a remotely close contest in a very heavy Democratic state.

Not surprised by the Schilling comment since she also said that there are no terrorists in Afghanistan.

Schilling is a god among men for his efforts (pitching with a serious ankle injury) to help as win a world serious but he shoots his piehole off all the time on many different subjects He aslo publically endorsed Bush after his first wretched term.

He definitely has the Koolaid on tap at his residence.

Thsi election has become a feeding feenzy with too many outside forces medding with ths stares business. I’ll be happy when the damn election is over.

I took the statement as disparaging to their religion of catholicism in general. Just make the morning after pills non-prescription and sell them in all pharmacies held behind the pharmacy counter. Problem solved. She has no right to judge people for their religious convictions.

I took that as anti-religion and not just anti-catholic. If you don’t respect the religious freedom od catholics, then you don’t respect religious freedom at all. I wouldn’t want her for dog catcher, but that is just me.

And I imagine Brown never expected this ground swelld. But his campaign staffers seem to have taken it in stride and seem quite organized.

She acted like she was bound to win and didn’t need to campaign– remaining aloof

Brown has been (not unlike Hillary) the work horse.–out amongst the people pleading his case.

I think FF was being sarcastic.

I think you have a very strong argument there and this would explain why Martha is making these stupid, stupid mistakes.  She is either being ill-advised or being paid well to throw the game.  No one could be such a dumbass….No Al Quaeda in Afghanistan, Curt Schilling likes the Yankees?????  Yeez.

I’m sorry, at this point Al and Jesse are only into pointing out what they believe is racism to make a buck. 

He’s still as smart as I always knew he was.

Animal Control,

I agree that NQ is a place where sexism is not acceptable, which is exactly why I thought I could express my concerns about the title without fear of being attacked! 

It would have been nice if some of those comrades in arms would have stood up and defended my right to speak honestly and without fear of intimidation or attack.  The only one who did was Larry, himself!

Scott Brown HAS to win…To Obama and crew a win is a win and they won’t get the message unless they LOSE!!!

Entitled to your opinion but read father down the thread, please.

Do you actually know the history of FF?

Moron is not gender specific. Nor is arrogant.

One.  With the false RAPE flyers going out, it smells like Axelrod.  He was famous in Illinois for sending flat out false info the weekend before an election.

Two.  The folks in MA should have a D Party.  I am not advocating violence.  You should ask the ACORNS and the D Machine workers first if they can swim.  Then yank a bag over their head and toss them into the harbor.  Heck.  Make it even more fun.  Dress up like a Cleveland Indian and yell things like “The yankees are coming. the yankees are coming.” Now that’s what I call a party.  A real Boston D-Baggers party.

Well, with two DEM governors going down to the GOP, a Brown win would be strike three!

Yes, and the seat is f’ing golden. Why do we suppose Blago thought a senate seat was golden? Wait, we all already know that one. It is golden when you sell votes and let your corporate write new laws. Gangsters.

He gets that one. He does. The tea party was a revolt against the abuse of power. Like voting contrary to the way your constituents want you to. Like voting for legislation that you have no real idea what is even in there just because your troop leader tells you to. New Democrats make me sick. We need to kick their candied asses back to academia where they belong. Harvard Law School needs another dumbass professor more than we need dumbass change.

D-bagger.  Clever! 

Probably never threw a baseball before. Which means nothing but that he didn’t grow up like an American kid. He has no real clue who we are or who America is. He is the closest thing we could have to a complete foreigner acting as our President.

link?

I agree with you Kathleen.  What about Kathleen’s explanations do some not get?  I hated it with Hillary.  I hated it with Sarah.  I hate it now.  Martha Coakley has been a public servant who has helped many people.  Has she made really stupid comments?  Of course?  Is she evil?  No.  I totally get that people want to break the Democrat majority in the Senate and the horrific healthcrap bill.  But has it come to this – again?

Thanks, Senneth!  It never ceases to amaze me how easily people engage in a gang mentality and start attacking a person without mercy (particuarly, when a woman is involved) and totally ignore that they are reacting just like the obots did when we stood up and defended Hillary and Sarah.

I refuse to participate in a gang bang of another woman.  Its still fresh in my mind how the male candidates ganged up on Hillary during the debates and how the obots had a feeding frenzy afterwards acting much  like the folks here are toward Coakley.  I have no doubt were this a male candidate, you would not see such a visceral response.

I have no doubt Coakley is taking orders from the obama camp because they have a great stake in her winning to ensure that the HC bill is passed and would feel obliged to interfere.  I have no doubt that they are advising her campaign and will throw her under the bus if she loses and put all the onus on her, just like many are doing here.

Here’s a thought….maybe,  just maybe the obama camp wants her to lose so that they can blame the HC bill not passing on her loss, instead of the bill being a horrible bill. 

Thanks, Teak.  It does play this morning.  Have no idea what was going on yesterday.

Kathleen, if you had taken Larry to task for name-calling you’d have had me.  You went straight to sexism and then threw in racism for good measure.

You overplayed your hand.

Mary cusack, I’m glad I made it to page 2 here.  I’d hate to have missed that comment.

Who even gives a rat’s ass about the MA Senate race.
it’s all about YOU, Kathleen!
Ugh. :’(

creeper,

I don’t think I did.  You simply misunderstood my point. When society has no problem with Al and Jesse lecturing us about racism whenever they believe its raised its ugly head, but alternatively, have a fit when a woman, any woman, tries to do the same thing when she perceives sexism has raised its ugly head, she is immediately attacked and marginalized.  Why is that?  What is the difference?  Women want what AA men have wanted…respect, equality and a chance to live their lives to the fullest, without being held back by prejudice and ignorance.

Bottom line, if a woman cannot be given the respect we give Al and Jesse by accepting that they can detect racism when those of us who are not AA would not, then doesn’t it stand to reason that a woman would be more likely to recognize sexism when she sees it?

Another example of the point I was trying to make is that during the primary, obama was allowed to lecture the country on prime time TV about racism.  Hillary was not event allowed to defend herself against the blatant sexist attacks she received on a daily basis, and we all know that she would never have been allowed to talk about it on prime time TV!  Why was obama given this opportunity and not Hillary?

Like racism, once sexism is put on the table for debate and discussion openly and freely, that’s when we will begin to see real change in how women are treated.  IMO, there are many who still don’t want to see this kind of change to come because it will be viewed as a threat to male power and control.  Hence, the knee jerk response that I was out of line to point out that I didn’t like how Coakley was being defined.

I am grateful to Larry for listening to me and giving my concerns relevance.  Just like men, women need to be heard. 

cat,

what’s your point?  Instead of just Coakley, you are eager to take your anger out on another woman by making a non-sensical remark that my comments are only about ME.  Wow, talk about cognitive dissonance. 

my point? the one about the broken record? over your head.

anger? you mean boredom.
ZZZZZ….

So, I should sit back and allow others to misinterpret my original point to Larry, who understood it from the start?  When I’m attacked, I respond.  If you don’t like it, tough.

If I’m so boring, then ignore me.

Very interesting.  All of a sudden, Texans like baseball.

Yeah, but you still got the man to make it all better for you.  

Next time, argue the merits of Coakley as a person not a gender.

Sheesh, it’s the eternal whining about being put down that keeps women down.  

Too much power corrupts.  When the Republican party had the majority and  a Republican President, they pretty much shut out the Democrats, and now that the Democrats have the majority and a Democratic Party they are doing the same.  A word to the wise.  This is not about Republican vs Democrat as much as it is about the corruption of those in power.  Obama was elected pretty much for not being Bush, and now some Republicans are going to elected, for not being Obama.  What we need are people who will go to Washington, and makes decisions based on the wishes of their constituents, and not the lobbyiests.  Otherwise, we will have the same situation, just a  different day.

Manager Obama can’t fix the situation, because he is the problem.  He can change the pitcher, change the batter, change the entire lineup, the problem is, he doesn’t know how to manage. 

[...] Hells yeah. But that doesn’t mean we should want any woman, regardless of her record or the (stupid) things she says. In this particular case, Scott Brown appears to be the better candidate. He is pro-choice, a [...]

buzzlate,

it’s Larry’s website and he wrote the article.  so who else was I supposed to go to with my response to how he titled the article?  I respect Larry a great deal and knew that I could express my honest opinion to him without his being offended.   

So, if Larry was not offended why are you?

buzzlate,

I’m not offended just put off by the whining.  I get it.  You’re not aware enough yet to move past the whine and onto the fact that by being called an “arrogant moron” Coakley was made equal into the world of men.  Yeah, treated the same and yet it’s STILL not okay.  

If Larry is not free to express his opinion without some woman, kleenex to her eyes, whining about inequity, HOW can the next step ever, ever take place?

I don’t know who is going to win on Tuesday.  I do know that if Scott Brown wins, no amount of political spin by the punditry will convince the majority of Americans that a serious political opposition to the Obama/Pelosi/Reid troika has begun in earnest.  Democrat office holders will be headed for the door like the 82nd Airborne over Normandy on D-Day.  And lest the GOP become too complacent, their replacements elected in November won’t necessarily be party-line Republicans, either.  This could be the greatest “revolutionary reset” in history if it is achieved entirely by the process of democracy.  Wouldn’t that be something to be a part of!

This is the most absurd reason for criticizing a candidate that I have ever heard. I was, and still am, a Hillary Clinton supporter and this sounds like precisely the same kind of meaningless crap that was heaped on her. The Scott Brown campaign has spread such a huge volume of misinformation that the whole process has become a quagmire. He is a barely mediocre Republican who has done absolutely nothing of note for Massachusetts. Until this campaign, he spent most of his time in his lawyer-ing work. There really is nothing under this guy’s hood.
