Scott Brown's in-your-face racism



Just got home and found this posted on facebook.

Somebody please do some billboards that rightly denounce Brown for the racist he is.

Did Brown's campaign do that or is it some fringe group? Deep13 Sep 2012 #4
IIRC, this was the work of an individual douchebag. N/t backscatter712 Sep 2012 #9
I'll bet his feelings are pretty typical of Brown's supporters... Deep13 Sep 2012 #11

The business owner has a history of this.

But when I saw that image earlier, I donated $25 to Elizabeth Warren.

I can't believe they think that would appeal to Massachusetts voters. I haven't seen this kind of blatant racisim displayed by a major politician since the '50s.

I don't like Brown, but for fuck's sake, he's not an idiot when it comes to politics. This was erected by an individual unconnected to his campaign.
