What Makes Massachusetts 'Phants so Contemptible?


Blah, blah, blah!
So, Scott Brown accuses Elizabeth Warren of doing the Elizabeth Warren of working for the asbestos companies, and she responds with an ad with families of the victims of mesothelioma.

His response is to accuse her of using actors in the ad, which is completely untrue:
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown suggested Wednesday that his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren used actors in her advertisements defending the legal work she did on asbestos-related lawsuits.

But three of the people in the advertisements have said that's not the case.

Brown made the statement during a campaign stop at the Taunton Fire Department's central station on Wednesday morning.

During a question and answer session, one firefighter commented that both campaigns are publishing advertisements featuring family members of victims of asbestos-related illness. He asked Brown how Warren gets the victims' family members to go on her commercial.

"A lot of them are paid," Brown said. "We hear that maybe they pay actors. Listen, you can get surrogates and go out and say your thing. We have regular people in our commercials. No one is paid. They are regular folks that reach out to us and say she is full of it."

One of the ads, titled "Ashamed," features Kingston resident Ginny Jackson, whose husband died of mesothelioma after working at a Quincy shipyard that was filled with asbestos.

Reached through the Warren campaign, Jackson responded to Brown's comments, calling them offensive.

"What Scott Brown said today is so offensive to me and my family after what we went through," Jackson said. "He's sunk to a new low."
Nope, this is the nature of the Massachusetts Republican Party.

It's who they are.

You should not be shocked.

H/t Wonkette.
