Attention Massachusetts Jewish Community, can we talk for a minute? We are being taken for granted and played for fools by the Coakley campaign. Let me give you some evidence.
Two weeks ago, Boston's oldest Jewish newspaper, The Jewish Advocate, published an interview with Scott Brown with a promise that similar features would be appearing with Joe Kennedy and Martha Coakley.
This week's edition does include an interview with Joe Kennedy (paid subscription required)...but milk carton Martha is nowhere to be found. The piece includes this:
Editor's note: The Advocate last week interviewed Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown. As of press time, Democrat Martha Coakley's campaign had not responded to the Advocate's request to be interviewed or answer a questionnaire.
Here's an email from an Advocate editor I've been told could be shared:
Yes, we repeatedly contact her since before Christmas, requesting an interview. As the election drew near, we even submitted written questions. Both a reporter and I called her staff. Only on Wed., after we had gone to press, did I hear from a staff member.
Needless to say, we were quite disappointed.
Martha Coakley took the Jewish Community, as she's taken the entire Massachusetts electorate, for granted. She's focused on elite, machine politics and left everything else to the wind. This is an insult. It's nothing for a candidate to take few minutes on the phone or answer some written questions (which a staff person can easily do) from one of the local ethnic news outlets. They surely must get scores of such requests. It's not difficult to deal with.
The fact that they couldn't be bothered to respond points to two things: arrogance and incompetence. This is the behavior of an unserious vanity run by a third or fourth party candidate, not a leading Democrat, and Martha Coakley deserves to feel it at the polls.
Scott Brown is an eminently moderate candidate that deserves our support. And let me remind you once again of his excellent position on Israel. Martha Coakley couldn't even be bothered to speak to us.
Let me add one more thing before getting on with the linking. Martha Coakley has not only shown her arrogance, but she has run one of the dirtiest campaigns I have seen in my lifetime. Due to our one-party status, we are usually spared from the roughest campaigning, but even in races that are close I don't recall seeing anything like the lies, distortions, and downright nastiness being put out on a daily basis over and over again by the Coakley campaign. For that alone she should lose.
RS McCain has video and pics from a Scott Brown rally in Middleboro: VIDEO: Scott Brown's Speech at Saturday Rally in Middleboro, Mass. - "...We'd driven an hour and a half to attend this Scott Brown campaign event, but I'd hardly expected the massive crowd assembled outside the Flat Iron Cafe. At least 500 people showed up for this rally..."
And from NRO, here's video of his appearance in Quincy:
Is that Bill Weld in the background? And didn't he endorse Obama? Think about that Democrats.
At RedMassGroup: WOW! Purple Shirted SEIU Members Holding Signs at Standout
More! There's no denying that the Brown effort is true grassroots. While SEIU is putting out some of the nastiest anti-Brown ads, the members are supporting him.
In his piece, Will Obama Repudiate Smear Campaign?, Bill Kristol points out that Brown's support of a religious exemption for health care workers on abortion is exactly the same as Ted Kennedy's. Read the posting to understand just how wrong Coakley's attacks are.
Althous takes a lawyer's eye to Coakley's position: Let's take a careful look at what Martha Coakley said about abortion and religious freedom.
And in the downright bizarre department, Senator Bob Kerrey is trying to tell people that Scott Brown doesn't believe in evolution? Are they kidding?
At NRO, they've been posting some great emails from readers. See here, and here.
At PJM, Zombie notes that the usual places have shifted, with Republicans getting cocky and Democrats hoping the seat can be saved: Massachussetts Armageddon: Dems Going "All Out" for Coakley in Final Three Days
Today Jeff Jacoby says: Blame Obama for the bluest state's blues
At RedState, Ken Blackwell writes: Martha Coakley and the anti-American agenda.: "...President Obama is taking the first step toward forcing healthcare professionals to follow the government's ethical agenda rather than their own. If Martha Coakley wins on Tuesday, it won't be the last."
Update: Great Scott Brown rally in Worcester with pics. And Martha Coakley couldn't even fill a hall (same link). Boston Herald report on the Obama trip to town: Obama tries to rescue a flagging Coakley. Total lethargy even the great O can't overcome.
Lots of Worcester pics at RedMassGroup here, here, here and here.
Here's a transcript of Brown's Worcester remarks,and some video of the Coakley/Obama event. Byron York comments on that event, here.
And I guess lefty radio has nuts: Ed Schultz: I'd cheat to keep Brown from winning. (audio at the link -- h/t: Mickey S)
Finally, excellent link round-up from Crittenden.
And more Sissy: Scott Brown Democrat: "Somebody's going to have to pay for this"
Yeah, yeah. Technically, it's Monday, but for Nappy, it's still Sunday.
Alfonzo ("ZoNation) Rachel flew in from LA and has a two-parter on PJTV about the campaign. Zo goes to a both rallies for Scott Brown and for Martha Coakley, interviews supporters for both candidates and shows the lack of enthusiasm after Bubba's half-hearted effort pitch for Martha.
- MASS HYSTERIA: The Coakley-Brown Race Has Surprises the MSM Won't Show You | 7min: We sent Alfonzo Rachel to Massachusetts to show you what you won't see in the MSM. There's energy, there are dirty tricks, and there's the SEIU member supporting Scott Brown.
- MASS HYSTERIA, Part Two: Brown's Momentum Builds, Coakley's Desperation Grows | 3min: Alfonzo Rachel braves the cold in Massachusetts to bring you another inside look at the Brown-Coakley race. Just how desperate has Coakley become?
NPR had sound bytes from the president's obligatory appearance in Boston for Martha Coakley today: Obama's spin on Scott Brown's remark to David Gergen that it's the people's seat: You betcha, and Martha is the best one to represent the people. The One also praised Martha Coakley as being an independent voice for the people -- does that reflect how Party hacks like Coakley are scared of disaffected independent voters?Earlier tonight, on 96.9 WTKK John Batchelor had someone on who suggested the lack of sparkle in Obama's performance today is because Martha Coakley was strongly for Hillary and reportedly refused to write a check for BHO after it became clear he would be the nominee. Nappy's not into all this palace intrigue and can't believe our fearless leader would harbor a grudge. He did what he had to do. He'll get blamed if Coakley loses, only now he can't be blamed for not doing what he could to help her.
Again this campagn is about Israel-first. Makes no difference who you vote for. Israeli-iluminarti is our staunch enemy and has caused all the evils in our Country and Europe. It was done covertly and by deception. Compare Judaism with Christ and you will see the picture loud and clear. This Country was built on Christian principals and torn down by Judaic [Talmudic] principals. This is not an old testement religion; it is admittedly by Zionist a Satanic religion. Pro-Israel will be the end of us.
hardlies, you are a FAILURE. You admire the nazi filth who declared War on the US, FIRST by the way, on December 11, 1941.
Unless your "truth" denies that, heh?
The US RESPONDED and declared War on YOU.
You seem to be still saddened that your heroes LOST WW2.
Please watch and drink in this video to see your heroes SURRENDERING UNCONDITIONALLY to the US, UK and commies.
