Response to Original message |
| 58. Politico (this morning) and now Fox are accusing the "DSCC" of spreading attacks on Brown |
|
over the sexual abuse thing.
If anyone in the DSCC touched this they are beyond stupid, as well as despicable.
The article they are including is the most negative that I have seen written by anyone. The blog, Capecodtoday has had an interesting, but at times over the top discussion. Some of the people posting actually are genuinely tied emotionally to the camp - having gone there for years or knowing the people who run it. But, even a Republican on Blue Mass, who explained the blog after an earlier piece did not suggest that he had any links to official Democrats.
What is clear is that there is a Republican effort to make the questions that were raised - more on the Herald, than the Globe - unfair actions by the Democrats. (Needless to say, the media did not point out the real links to Republicans when he was swiftboated.)
The fact is that no official Democrat has done anything other than praise Brown.
