Boston Herald:
Does Liz Warren really believe that Scott Brown is pro-rape? Or wants to somehow “redefine rape” in a way that would hurt women or benefit racists?
Of course not.
But is Liz Warren willing to smear Scott Brown by suggesting he’d do all this — and more — as part of a “war on women?”
She already has.
The first Massachusetts Senate candidate to denounce Missouri moron Todd Akin was Scott Brown. Liz Warren’s denunciations, along with pretty much the entire Western world’s, soon followed.
Of course Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Scott Brown denounced Akin’s idiocy. There is no “legitimate rape” caucus anywhere in American politics.
“Scott Brown and other Republicans want to pretend Todd Akin is an isolated individual, but he is clearly in line with the Republican agenda,” Warren said in a statement.
And what, according to Warren, is that agenda?
“To limit access to health care. . . to select a vice presidential nominee someone who co-sponsored legislation with Rep. Akin to ‘redefine rape,’ ” Warren says.
Got that, ladies? Forget Brown’s record, forget his denunciation of this Akin dope, forget how he’s actually lived his entire life: Scott Brown hates women! He’s soft on rape! Run before he molests you himself!
This is how low Liz Warren is willing to go, how much of her own dignity she’s willing to destroy, just to — as her campaign put it in a fundraising mailer — “win back Ted Kennedy’s seat.”
Ah, yes, Ted Kennedy. The exemplar of the virtuous treatment of women . . .
So let’s re-cap the 2012 election thus far:
Scott Brown — Friend of the rapist. Mitt Romney — Kills women with cancer. Paul Ryan — Don’t leave him alone with your grandmother if you ever want to see her alive again.
Is this what Hope and Change 2.0 looks like?
I’m not bemoaning negative campaigning. Ads that point out the other guy’s record are great.
