Blundermania: Dems attack Scott Brown’s “greed” using World Trade Center; Update: It’s official. Obama to Mass. on Sunday
Scroll for updates…
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee decided to “help” flailing Mass. Senate candidate Martha Coakley with a hard-hitting ad attacking GOP challenger Scott Brown’s opposition to the White House’s Cover Tim Geithner’s A** Tax and other illusions of financial reform.
Except that they got so carried away with the class warfare rhetoric they Photoshopped Brown in front of the World Trade Center, which, um, was destroyed by jihadists who share the same view of American “greed” as the DSCC does.
Ben Smith at Politico has the scoop and reports that the DSCC is pulling the ad.
Please keep “helping,” DSCC!
Between the DSCC and Coakley’s tongue, can it get much worse?
Kyle Sellers quips: “Let’s give DSCC some credit-they’re getting really good at quickly removing their offensive YouTube videos.”

On a related note, maybe I’ll get my Reverse Midas Touch wish after all:
The White House has shown increasing alarm about the race, with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel placing calls to top Massachusetts Democrats to assess Coakley’s chances and weigh the costs and benefits of a potential Obama visit.
***
Update: Dream come true…
President Obama will be heading to Massachusetts to campaign for Martha Coakley this Sunday, according to two senior sources informed of the president’s decision, a last-minute effort to give the Democrat a needed boost in the Senate race.
It’s a sign that Democrats are deeply worried about Coakley’s prospects and the party’s 60-seat majority, and believe the president can help turn out the Democratic vote in a state where he’s viewed favorably.
WH spokesman Robert Gibbs made the announcement this afternoon.
Please do for Coakley what you did for Chicago’s Olympic bid.

Between the DSCC and Coakley’s tongue, can it get
much worseany better?FIFY
I am just sitting back and watching these Socialist Swine flail.
Mr. Obama, make my day!
Please come down anyway!
Yes please. Obama visit to certify that Coakley’s is a lost cause. All important Democrat defeats are preceded by a visit by “the One”.
Buh bye Obamacistas. Maybe the DSCC can make some hay down there in the Peoples Republic of Venezuela. Hugo really needs the help.
OT, but I am sure this crowd will appreciate this:
Video in the link.
Obama. The Plastic President. An empty head atop an empty suit. Knock knock. Nope. Nothing in there. Nothing but a Chicago crook with an oversized ego.
A perfect campaigner for
CoakleyCrookley.Looks like the Dems need some advice on how to pull this election out so here is some that should help: Buy all the airtime available during the playoff games this weekend and run super-partisan, over-the-top attack ads on Brown. People love that stuff while watching sports. It will work, really.
P.S. It will help to characterize him as just a beer, drinking sport fan as well.
Old news chap. Ran on Drudge and Hot Air yesterday, but thanks for the thought.
See why NJ is in the condition we’re in? Our “great” Sen. Bob Menendez is in charge of the DSCC. Can’t wait until we can get rid of him!
Oh. Don’t read either. But I guess I am not surprised.
I’ll try to dig up a more current liberal embarrassment.
Send in the Fish.
And actually, if they had played Palin’s full answer, it was pretty good. Don’t know why some in the media thought that was such a gotcha moment.
News flash for Mika, Lincoln wasn’t a Founding Father….
Because they were looking for one.
They will stoop to anything, these desperado Dems. Keeps getting worse for them by the minute.
What’s next an ad featuring Bluto Blutarsky charging Brown with duplicity in helping the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor?
Please Obama, go to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakley.
I would have picked Jefferson to show my solidarity with light-skinned Negroes.
Yeah, it’s a joke about Jefferson – not a racist attack.
Quoth Mary Katherine Ham: “Coakley’s ears are so tin, you could make vintage, ironic lunchboxes out of them for Boston hipsters.”
Over at the DNC one can hear over the PA:
“Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard.
“Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard.
“Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard…….”
If that’s the best they can throw at Brown, they’re really in serious trouble. But I have faith in the Purple Brownshirts and the state government. I’m sure they’ll be able to help count the votes so that only 2/3rds of Brown’s get counted. I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have the final vote totals in hand, just waiting for the election to be over before announcing Coakley a narrow winner.
That Mary Katherine has a way with words.
That’s the kind of Democrat brilliance that’s led to terrorists getting the same rights as our legal citizens. It’s why millions of Americans are unemployeed and hundreds of thousands have completely given up on looking for a job. It’s why our budget is shot to hell with massive debt growing every day. Well done Socialist Democrats for running our country into the ground and offending as many Americans as possible along the way.
Or at the very least they’ll file a lawsuit and keep finding “lost” ballots for Coakley ala Frankin until she wins.
Just curious, what is the Dems plan to crack down on greed? Will greed be regulated, heavily taxed or just prohibited? Are there any exemptions for certain groups, say trial lawyers? I’d like to support the plan but need more details.
Massachusetts law does not have any provision for a mandatory recount and the loser can only be granted one, after request, if they appear to be within .5% of the winner.
They have a couple of days to pass an emergency law. BTW, all Gregoire and Franken ballots count for Coakley.
“I love the smell of donk desperation in the morning; smells like … victory.”
Hope-a-Dope’s rapidly shrinking coat-tails are like a movie I saw in which some kids managed to capture some kind of miniature demon and forced it to grant them various material wishes (a car, lots of cash, etc.). Trouble was, after a day or so everything they demanded turned into manure.
So it is with asking the false messiah to help you out today: Michelle is right about the “reverse Midas touch” — all the false promise of 2008 has worn off, and now it’s all turning to sh*t.
And even if Brown doesn’t win, this special election will be a second, larger-caliber warning shot across the donks’ bow: New Jersey and Virginia were the first .50 cal shot, Massachusetts will be the 5-inch gun … and if the donks keep going the way they are, the voters’ 16-inch round this November won’t be aimed across the bow, but amidships.
Mika leans pretty far to the left, so nobody expects her to be an intellectual heavy hitter. And she isn’t on the road contemplating a run for the 2012 nomination, either.
Pretending to care what Mika thinks is a distraction from the issues, and nothing more.
I am a Madison fan, btw.
News just came in that Obama is heading to help Coakley.
Well said Sam.
Please people in MA, vote for Scott and tell this bho how we feel about the horrible bill. It would be great if this bho showed up and martha lost.
L
Now obama is coming to campaign for her. Oh, she’s toast!
Be sure to check the trunks of DEM operatives’ cars for “a magical box of 300 uncounted, but valid, ballots” a la Al Franken-stein.
Haha – I thought he was going to church…
Obie is gonna hide in the bunker on this one. He can’t afford to travel to support another cause only to have it fall apart and Coakley’s campaign is doing a fine job of that itself.
The buzz here in WI is that even though Russ Feingold has no major opponent (as of yet), the people have expressed clearly their opposition to his stalwart support of the health care bill.
While it’s becoming less likely that a Paul Ryan, Tommy Thompson, or other high profile figure will step up, the Massachusetts (did I spell that right?) race gives me great hope for a challenger to seriously contend for the seat which had had his ass glued to it because of his crap collaberation with McCain.
Conservatism in 2010!
Term limits in 2012!
Sorry, at first glance I was happy to see that Obama was going to Mass on Sunday. But, then I realized he was just going to Mass. on Sunday.
Oh, well.
Or for his pal Deval Patrick’s re-election campaign fundraiser.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9D8BJU04&show_article=1
I was wrong.
He must be trying to make the record for “number of poor decisions in the first year of a presidency” unattainble by any future contender!
Because making fun of Palin is what they do. Because they are convinced of their superiority. Because they fear her charisma if not her political astuteness. Because they think people will not notice how tiresome and empty their rhetoric is if they make fun of the Alaskan hick.
Pick one.
Who pays for the two specially modified 747s, the C-130s that carry the armored limousines, and, if needed, the Marine 1 helicopters (1 plus a decoy or two, in case our Muslim friends try to initiate a man caused disaster with an old Stinger or Soviet man portable anti-air missile) to carry Obama from Logan or South Weymouth or Otis to the rally in Boston?
Just curious.
Maybe Obama and Michelle can stop off again in NYC for another date if half the Air Force and Secret Service is already working this weekend anyway.
I dont get it, why dont the Dems just focus on buying off the vote of just one Republican – then they dont have to worry about this race.
(yeh I get it LOL and they’re just getting an early preview of October)
and btw, Cao has to go now too. He misjudged and thought he could play both sides with no repercussions.
Looks like Obama is going to Massachusetts to save (or create) the necessary votes. Hopefully he will bring Biden to help with gaffe control.
They need to make a law that ballot boxes are not allowed to be stored in car trunks – only open-air flat-bed trucks with strobe lights attached. And if any boxes are “found” later, then the person responsible needs to go to jail and never be allowed to participate in the back-end voter process ever again.
Its time for personal responsibility.
My grandfather, who passed away a few years ago, always said: the Republicans will always get us into a war, but you can never trust a Democrat with a ballot box.
I’m guessing your question is rhetorical, Ed. We all know who pays [and pays, and pays...], even if the law says that the Democrats should pay out of their campaign war-chest.
More immediately [and a bit selfishly], I hope they don’t screw things up at Logan, because I have to deal with that firsthand.
aloha HA. jsr, your question about greedy lawyers being exempt is very well stated. how about trial lawyers are exempt, but not divorce and mass plaintiff lawyers, they get taxed then executed.
I have this vision of Barry on a horse charging uphill at a windmill.
With his background in training ACORN workers to do their thing, he is now needed more than ever in the fact that this state hasn’t needed that kind of “help” much in the past.
This makes me nervous. After last November, would Obama dare head to Massachusetts unless they were guaranteed that Coakley will win by any means necessary.
Everybody is pretty much agreed that his appearance means that a Brown win would render this essentially a lame-duck administration only a year in. Obama isn’t afraid to overreach, but is he indeed this much of a gambler…?
True dat.
Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Our malevolent mistress shall hear from the windbats for that. PLEASE INCLUDE REAL NAMES AND E-MAIL ADDRESSES. Evil rules–Is I gonna get hit by an earthquake or Katrina II?
Voting polls better be prepared for:
1. New Black Panthers w/ night sticks
2. Purple SEIU thugs w/ brass knuckles
3. Coakley security w/ football pads
(Don’t forget to lead w/ your shoulder!)
I hope ever Conservative voter has their cell phone set to video. We need to record any and all progressive attempts to intimidate voters!!!
Might I suggest that everyone please follow the example of John Hancock and the patriots who founded this country?
If you are so inclined, please fast and pray this Sunday, January 17th.
A day of national fasting and prayer on May 17, 1776 likely had a significant impact on our independence being declared 48 days later.
Fasting and praying this Sunday could have a significant impact on this election and the survival of our Republic.
Gosh the left wing trolls are really getting lame, even for them.
So are Clinton and Obama going to Mass rather than Haiti because it is full of dark-skinned Negroes?
Whichever Mass he’s at, he’ll likely be praying either way…
Wait, I guess you can’t pray to yourself…
So who serves the coffee: Obama or Clinton or Coakley?
this is a little repetitive no doubt, but is worth repeating…title of a Hugh Hewitt book…”if it isn’t close, they can’t cheat”.
Wonder how many recounts, found lost ballots and judges decisions will it take for Coakley to win? Deja Vu Washington. Minnesota.
Lets just be careful what we wish for…. Obama IS a great speaker and has the ability to energize his base.
Both love to talk about American “greed”.
These attacks are nothing new.
Listen to Phil Donahue make the same arguments about “greed”, and listen to Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman’s responses:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76frHHpoNFs
Q: How many out-of-state ACORN and SEIU members will be bused in to make the audience for Obama’s speech seem multiple times larger?
Errah, for the Obama Administration its a good long holiday weekend for document drops and a horde of new bank failures. Hope springs eternal.
I think we should be concerned that the Obamessiah is going to work a miracle and resurrect more dead people to get them to the polls.
… from hell. “Fired up, ready to go”.
Part of my hope is that they don’t have as much infrastructure set up in MA to support cheating, becuase they haven’t needed it. ACORN may not have registed “Mickey Mouse” to vote in MA. Now, attempts to cheat are much more likely to be exposed.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for all corruption to be exposed, prosecuted, convicted, and/or prevented.
Classic!

Are we sure she wasn’t going to say Marx . . . Karl, Groucho, Harpo, Zeppo, Richard or Skid??!! She’s an Andrea Mitchell in training. Another 50 gal drum of Botox and she’ll be an adequate substitute for the dirty mop with a microphone. I’d love to see Joe Scarborough and F. Chuck Todd do that Morning Joe show (sponsored by Starbucks) from a small cage with a hungry lion.
AMEN, Brother!
Excellent-oft I get too caught up in self and think I am in charge.
Ha-Ha!….Richard Marx
Guliani and Brown were in the North End (that’s the Italian section), literally on the sidewalks talking to voters, anyone could have gone and the pics I saw on facebook showed a rather large crowd. Martha on the other hand is holed up in a 5 star luxury hotel surrounded by big time donors from Boston who are there primarily to see Bill Clinton. I assume the Obama “rally” will be the same (By the way Obama is coming on Sunday, during football playoffs, the day before a monday holiday) Somehow I don’t think Martha’s events are going to energize the everyman. We might see clips of Obama in Boston on the 6pm news, but this wil hardly give the bump she needs.
Obama to help Coakley? Bring it on! What better way to tie this feckless career politician to a failed agenda. Let’s let everyone get a good, clear picture of Obama with Coakley…ride those coattails, Martha!
The Dems were so sure they had a lock on this seat that maybe they haven’t had time to rig a few votes. If conservatives in MA. keep a close eye, Brown just may win. Please watch out for the black panthers. I bet they are really mad this time.
I think Obama going to Mass is a calculated risk. The Dem is favored as a default. If she wins, he will claim credit, if not she ran a bad campaign and it was those damned Tea Party people!
He needs a win so badly, he is willing to risk this.
Will Wild Bill nail Martha Coakley?
There goes my appetite.
Ah the Littlest Sock Puppet is in a panic is he? Tough noogies.
Sorry swede
My Bush/Chaney side came out.
Some say changing the corruption in Washington and MA is a lost cause………..Scott Brown decided to prove them wrong!..Watch and ..PASS IT ON!!!! Here he is reading Martha Coakleys attack ads filled with lies!
This clip from Mr Smith goes to Washington is a movie from 1939…and watching it feels like you are watching the current congress! (As a plus Jimmy Stewart is compelling and proves he was one of the best actors ever.) Both depressing and inspiring at the same time.
Depressing because although made in 1939 it seems as though nothing ever changes.
Inspiring because it shows how ONE man can affect a change…kinda like that one man on the Detroit flight who tackled the terrorist trying to blow up his plane, or like Scott Brown!
I recommend everyone rent this movie. It is still compelling today.
PS the beginning made me think of the machinations behind filling Ted Kennedys seat ( or throne!), as the powers that be decide who will take the seat and impose their own selfish agendas.

I don’t think so, not if you actually listen to the words. In fact he is inarticulate. Just on urban myths.
The bloom is off that rose
Drudge reports Obama will let the Haitians into this country illegally because of the earthquake.
The outcome of the Senate race in Massachusetts may well hinge on the health of TOTUS over the next few days.
Joe Biden will not be allowed ANYWHERE NEAR TOTUS until after the the last fraudulent ballots are “discovered.”
All ballots marked “Papa Doc”, “Mama Doc” or “Baby Doc” are for Coakley.
No. Drudge reports that Obama is temporarily ordering the halting of deportation of Haitians already illegally here.
It appears that the Macdaddy pimp is coming out to b@#chslap one of his hos!
Don’t forget your teleprompter.
Would reading this surprise anyone?

Maybe Comrade Obama (PBUH) has stepped in it big time. His “help” for Mizz Coakley may be the “kiss of death” for her. But The One must think she will win–with his help–or He would not risk it.

I hope the SARAH’CUDA can put a “bear trap” out for him. How about a surprise SARAH PALIN APPEARANCE outside his event–with a challenge for an impromptu MANO A MANO debate? With Fox News TV recording it all as The Messiah stammers and tries to spin His way out of it. Or stumbles through every question from her!
***
Also–cue the TEA PARTY–lots of NOBAMA CARE signs, some REMEMBER 9/11, and some TRIBUNALS FOR TERRORISTS–NOT TRIALS. A few NO SHAMNESTY signs too. The Anointed One has been hiding from the real press for the last 6 months–but He will be “off the base” for a little. Pick him off Red Sox style and hand him some bad press and a ticket back to D.C. I think He is vulnerable now–I would stand there with my sign if I lived nearby. Bring it on!

Obama remains the Great Liberal Hope and if he were able to turn this around, we would never hear the end of it. If Coakley loses on the other hand, the spin will be that he arrived too late and it is no big deal. Even the One makes mistakes. On to denying Brown his seat.
Thanks, AzN. Now I need to scrub my brain.
Obama’s visit will end like his “helper” trips to VA and NJ: the political kiss of death.
The funny part is that Obama doesn’t seem to realize that he is politically radioactive right now, except with his shrinking base.
Even Better – Bill Clinton is going, too. If I’m not mistaken, “Slick Willie” has NEVER campaigned for a winning candidate!
milwaukee mike, according to the coakley campaign, massachusetts is spelled massachussetts. now i don’t know, cause ebonics is changing everything, but in my day, that state was spelled with 3 s’s, not 4. but ms coakley went to an ivy league school, and i just went to washington u and st louis u, so i’m obviously inferior in intellect.
Don’t forget the Zero’s prime skills as a “community organizer’ was as a political scam instructor and ACORN fraud specialist.He’s going to Kennedy land to apply his skills and kick start the local Dem fraud machinery.
Exit question before I head off to bed: do you think Obama will say the Cambridge Police acted stupidly [again]?
All those egos in the same place, won’t they collide and cause an explosion?
me//praying to all that is good and holy(NOT BARRY HUSSIEN) that there are no voting shenanigans. We *ARE* talking about Massachusetts after all, kennedy corruption hard to wash out no matter how many times they dunk it in the Chap.
Michelle is absolutely correct to point out that the Democratic Socialist Communists and the Jihadists share a worldview about American “greed”. And seeing the World Trade Centers as symbols of that “greed” tells you everything you need to know about why the Jihadists selected the WTCs as two of their targets.
I think there is more of a connection between the two groups than most people care to believe.
