1 Finally!  A candidate for the common idiots.

2 She's got that Obama warmth goin' on.

3 but but I thought Scott Brown was a racist extremist for not believing in global warming.  What's this cold, ol' Martha is talking about?

4 Ah, the Kathleen Kennedy Townsend playbook. Works every time. Wait...

5 She'll win by a landslide!!

6 Go Martha!

Massatchewsettes loves you!

You've got great advisors!

Keep it up!

7 How many other ways can this woman self-destruct in the next week?  Every day, I'm surprised how she finds a new way to put her foot in her mouth.

8 Kind of makes you wonder how many other blue state democrats would implode if the Republicans put up a decent candidate.

9 can I be a democratic strategist/west texas educated gringo and get paid? Keep up the good work dem strategists paid millions. I'm gonna sell tin can chop, make chile' and get rich!! I thank God I didn't get stupid in an ivy league school.

10 It's stuff like this that has the eminently sane and reasonable Michael Barone openly wondering http://tinyurl.com/ylzf7xo

11 Fuck, I still haven't mastered this screwy commenting format.  That's supposed to be "openly wondering whether Martha Coakley is really the Dem version of the Manchurian Candidate."  With a link to Barone's column in the Examiner.

12

Worst candidate ever?  IDK  She still hasn't called her constituents racist and then downplay it to redneck.  With a D next to your name, this kind of thing is almost required.

13 please please please please please make this happen for us! I am now crawling back into my champagne glass...seriously, I am polishing off a bottle...

14 Is this Damocratic candidate the best that MA has? If so, things might be looking up for this years seats in Congress. Who does she know, to even get this far.

15 I agree Martha, Red Sox fans are the absolute worst...am I right?

16 Brown needs to run this clip, over and over, with the caption "Coakley hates the Red Sox!"

Well, I hate the Red Sox too, but that's not important.

17 Coakley might as well just announce that her favorite baseball player is Bucky Dent.

Or "Manny Ortiz."

18 Or Aaron Boone.

19 There is no off position on the genius switch.

20 I hope Brown wins.  Given the Dems' natural inclination to cheat on a massive scale, I fear I am not holding my breath.

21

Coakley has lost her bearings. She is lashing out because she realizes there is a 50-50 chance she chokes away what was thought to be a sure fire win.

Shes now badmouthing meeting and greeting voters at one the most important landmarks where voters congregate? SMART!

And dems are the intellectual party?

22 I read somewhere that "a stupid enemy is a gift from god."  I remember that this is still Massachusetts, but I hope that this can be made good.  This would put the fillabuster back on the table to stop really bad legislation.  I have fingers crossed. 

23 Coakley and her beautiful mouth are single-handedly draining a huge chunk of SEIU's (and friends') electioneering war chest waaaaaay before November. You go, girl!!

24 This is nonsense, I'm a huge fan of the Red Socks!!!

25 Actually, I'm a big  Johnny Damon fan.  I don't know why he shaved his beard.

26 On an interesting note, the link says that Boston comedian Lenny Clarke of the show "Rescue Me" was out campaigning with Brown when Brown was out at Fenway for the Winter Classic hockey game.

Funny note about Clarke... he once ran for mayor of Boston so he could pass out bumper stickers which read "Fuck the Kennedys, vote for Lenny" paid for on the public dime.

27 There is no Martha here, there is only Zuul. 

28 Not too late to get Scozzafava on the ballot, Dems. 

29 Martha comes off a bit abrasive at times.

30  I wish i knew how to photoshop the gopher with a camera, plunking him between Cokely and the Obama thug specialist.

31

They wanted her to shake hands in the cold!?  Oh the humanity.  What kind of evil psychopath is going to make her shake hands in the cold in a state full of people so used to being cold in the winter that they'll sit on a metal bench with no shirts on in Foxboro stadium to watch the Patriots play as a couple of feet of snow fall on them.

In the cold. Hah.

32 See, it's all a super-secret Democrat plot.  They suspect she's going to loose, so they're ordering her to do a lot of stupid shit so that when she fails, they can just claim she was a bad candidate.  Covering their asses, you see. 

Or is she really that retarded?

33  Or, the gopher with a Brown for Senate sign.

34 Heh. It's like God is making sure that every time Coakley opens her mouth or is seen in public, it is always in the absolutely worst possible light.

Of course, this only shows that the only way a Republican can get elected to state-wide office in Massachusetts is by divine intervention.

35  I wish i knew how to photoshop the gopher with a camera, plunking him between Cokely and the Obama thug specialist.

39 Wow. Haven't been here in a while.. when did everyone become a fan of the Cleveland Browns.... are the Coakley's an expansion team or something?

40

Is it possible that Brown could actually win? I hate to get my hopes up, but I could torment all the liberals I know with this for years! Oh the posibilities!

What stupid shit will Martha do next?

41 Unreal. Too busy to do meet-and-greets, she's spending her time kissing up to Democratic leaders and union bosses.

Well, sure! They're the ones who can win steal the election for her.

42 @32, we call that a bitch, and im polishing off a bottle of rum myself

Or Bill Buckner.

44 wait, since the redskins are a tad bit racists, what about those browns?, and are the packers a lil bit homo erotic?

45 Ultimately, the funniest thing about liberals is that they have absolutely no clue about the common guy/gal.  Watching them try to operate among the "common folk" is just a YouTube video waiting to happen... every fucking time.

This example + Obama with the plumber guy + John Stewart getting wtfpwnt by Bush's legal guy on interrogations the other night.  Liberals are so mentally under-equipped that only hilarity can ensue. 

Here's a helpful hint (WARNING: huge net of stereotyping about to be tossed):  Most liberals majored in communications, or psychology, or history, or English.  Not much critical thinking going on in those fields:  think what your prof wants you to think, get a degree!  No matter what school you went to:  all of us engineers, chemists, and physicists laughed at you (and still mock you, constantly) since you pretty much just bought your degrees. Your opinion means... um... nothing.  You're still stupid.

Didn't mean for that post to go that way, but it did! And I'll allow it!

46 Geez, Martha. Elitist much?

47 A more explicit video of the Weekly Standard reporter getting roughed up by Coakley's people was released  tonight.  It makes the Coakley campaign look even worse.  Be sure to watch all the way to the end. See it here.

There you go!

49 Tango:  I think you're on to something.  Liberals are heavily over-represented in the "verbal" professions -- literature, humanities, academics, law, media.  Anything that involves stringing words together.  Conservatives, I believe, are tilted toward technical professions -- the world of things. 

Things don't care how eloquent you are, but they do follow the rules and will punish you if you forget that.  Words let you believe everything can be changed just by changing the words, and rules are just words so they can be changed, and you can make things the way you want just by saying so.

Thank you Glenn Beck(idiot)...

58

I cannot believe I am saying ths, The Boston Globe has a story, it was still up online earlier today, where Coakley ddi nothing with a cop (union member) that raped a 23 month old with a hot curling iron.. Martha did nothing  when she was Middlesex County DA.  I  don't think anything else has to be said about this woman if you read that one. It is so bad it could turn a lib or dem to a new candidate!

Vote for Scott Brown if you live in MA!  Everyone else, contribute anything you can $5 will help him. We need new blood in the senate, not the same old like Byrd who should be  retired.  He's too old and really can't do much on his own.

59 Nothing can stop anything like nothing!

60 And people think I can't run a party. Even I'm not stupid enough to blow a deep red Senate seat in like Utah or Texas like the Dems are doing in Mass..

61 holy hitting the self destruct button.  libs are too stupid to realize they are stupid

62 Everytime I keep swerving back to reality (nahhh, come on, it's Massachusetts, it's the Kennedy's legacy, etc.), something keeps popping up indicating this could actually happen.

It's not just the embarrassment of embarrassments for Democrats, it's healthcare--you know, the issue we lost.  The gigantic government encroachment of the economy.  That fight was killed, mourned, and buried . . . and yet this pops up out of nowhere and we may still win.

(knock on wood)

63

We is not as stupid as you think we were.

64 or as i once thought you is?

65 She is too calm, she knows, no matter what, she is going to win.

on another note, saw an episode of criminal minds.  some veteran was looking for his missing sister....  the fbi profilers were trying to get the veteran to give his mom hope (already knowing the sister is dead)  said  "HOPE is crippling"  nice

70 is that Ford Jr's girl... if so....  DAMN...   i like that dude, one of the few dems i like

71 Hmm... Martha Coakley was a strong Hillary supporter in the Dem's primaries I believe.  Is she working w/Hillary to sabotage things?

Nah...

72 'what the hell is going on in this woman's head?' well gabe, why dont you do an andi sullivan and climb up her vagina and find out? you may learn something. btw- love the 'so-distante' faggy language you use to belittle women.

73 Next you'll be wanting me to eat some of those lousy beans they push in all the restaurants  I suppose?

You have two choices in this election. You can vote for the guy who eats the crappy beans or you can vote for the woman who wants to make sure the chronic flatulence you will get from eating those beans is covered by Universal health Care.

The choice is obvious I think. Would you care to make a donation?

I hate to burst your bubble, but you'd be unpleasantly surprised to know how many medical students nowadays are hard-core libs. And 95+% of them were science majors.

75

that would surprise me, i know three doctors, (one who is my former step dad) all repubs.   thats 3 for 3

 

we'll see how the view things when they are forced to take a pay cut cus the govt says they have to.    also, that former step dad has been sued 5 times now for malpractice, his insurance is 300K+ per year

76 I am SO getting a thank-you card ready for Coakley. She just HAS to be working for Rove.

77 "I hate to burst your bubble, but you'd be unpleasantly surprised to know how many medical students nowadays are hard-core libs." They are going to regret that Obama vote. Its going to suck when they realize in the near future that their salary is going to be the same as the lazy DMV worker.

78 It is the new super-secret Stupid Ray the CIA has been perfecting in Norway.

79 that would surprise me, i know three doctors, (one who is my former step dad) all repubs.   thats 3 for 3

That's certainly true of older doctors (those who graduated in 2000 or earlier). But the recent classes are full of libs, judging from the alumni magazine of the local medical school (I do copy editing for the thing, that's how I know what the younger ones are saying). And I agree-- wait until they're turned into indentured servants by the current Congress.

80 And I agree-- wait until they're turned into indentured servants by the current Congress.

And without Tort Reform.

81 yeah my bad, i just saw ur "students"     my fault.    i also remember that same step dad saying back in 1991 after the first gulf war "we'll be back, well, we'll be back there if there is a republican president"  me being only 13 at the time, i didnt know what he meant, till we went back in.   for being such a dick head, he sure called that one

82 ok, sock puppetry is over...  

83 yeah, i was wondering how that was gonna work, no tort reform + less pay + more work load =  cluster fuck

84 We'll just import "doctors" from Cuba.

85

or india  "would you like to buy a squishy"

it's no wonder in the fox poll that 45% of doctors would go into a different line of work.  i can see it now..   we'll be haiti on it's best day

86 We'll just import "doctors" from Cuba.

Mikey Moore can't wait.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but you'd be unpleasantly surprised to know how many medical students nowadays are hard-core libs."

I wouldn't be surprised. Beck had a show a few months ago where he had a bunch of doctors and about 15 or so med students. The doctors were uniformly opposed to the government meddling in healthcare while the students all worshipped it.

It was like the difference between night and day. The doctors quoted horror stories from real life examples of government meddling and the students all spouted the common commie D line straight out of the campaign lines.

This just shows what kind of brainwashing the universities are giving the students nowadays.  What was funny was some of the snide comments made by the older doctors to the students. Basically they amounted to "you do not know your ass from a whole in the ground and once you get some real expericience you will change your mind".

Once we go Logan's Run and kill off the oldsters, there won't be that ticking nuclear timebomb of Medicare and SS.

89 The doctors were uniformly opposed to the government meddling in healthcare while the students all worshipped it.

What gets me is that medical school tuition is above $50,000 per year at some schools and going up every year. That means that some MDs graduate already $200,000 (or more) in debt, with four or more years of low-paying internships and residencies ahead of them. How they expect to pay off their student loans before they retire beats me.

90

That means that some MDs graduate already $200,000 (or more) in debt, with four or more years of low-paying internships and residencies ahead of them. How they expect to pay off their student loans before they retire beats me.

I would say from looking at the students in question and from the fact that they were from NYC that most of them were having their way paid for through the school.

The only people who pay full tuition anymore are white males from a family above the poverty line.

91

Oooookay.

This woman's a trainwreck.

If she actually wins, it can only be one of two things:

Rigged election or Mass. voters are almost too stupid to breathe.

If this were anywhere else, I'd say the seat's in the bag.

Because it's Mass., (not that Connecticut, my home state, is much better) I just say:

"KEEP HOPE ALIVE!"

92

I'll tell you, Gabby, you're capable of writing some relevant articles for this blog.

So I'm puzzled by your compulsion to address distasteful homosexual issues.

You remind me of Andrew Sullivan, a resonably intelligent man who is somewhat well informed on the issues, but who is so neurotic that he can't refrain from letting everybody know that he is gay, another topic altogether that is irrelevant to the political issues that he raises.

He can't help himself, and apparently you can't help yourself either.

I don't see anyone here trying to impose a heterosexual agenda on posters here. But you sure try impose a gay agenda on bloggers here. That's screwy, guy.  It's not normal. It's bizarre. See a psychiatrist, Gabby.

93

Wow, they have this over at NRO where the unions have negotiated an exemption for the “Cadillac” tax in the healthcare bill and they have a scheme to pay for it:

 

One House Democrat is already saying a "consensus" could be built around such a scheme by further increasing the Medicare payroll tax and applying it to capital gains to make up for lost revenue.

 

They want a new precedent now to apply Medicare taxes to capitol gains. Next will come SS taxes. Then they will apply it to dividends and interest.  God we have to get these damn Commuinsts out of Washington before it is too late.

 

The idea that unions will be taxed at a different rate than the rest of the country is a violation of the Constitution but I guess we could never get standing. Just because politicians routinely violate the document and cheat us right and left isnÂ’t grounds to sue anymore unless you are a protected minority or a liberal.

94 I have a theory. Someone very much like me read the Banhammer I and Banhammer II: Son of Banhammer epic threads. That someone picked out Ace's promise NOT to ban anybody who's not making 'jokes' when using racist, sexist, anti-homo, {insert-your-ism-here} terminology, but instead has a 'sincere' belief in these matters. And now that somebody is fine-tuning his/her trolling Markov chain generators to skate that line Ace drew up. Isn't that right, ACO? Gabe: I dunno, man. The fact that she's acting like this even when all the walls are down and Brown's almost got it in the bag suggests something's hinky, won't you say? #103: Jeez, this is beyond staggering. Medicos becoming libs? Remind me to look for a GOP plaque or something the next time I'm looking around for a surgeon...

95

I agree Martha, Red Sox fans are the absolute worst...am I right?

Yes.  You are right.

#103: Jeez, this is beyond staggering. Medicos becoming libs? Remind me to look for a GOP plaque or something the next time I'm looking around for a surgeon...

The Doctors were against it, only the medical students were for it.

97 Vic: Yeah, I kinda got that, but these medico students will become medicos, yes? Maybe students are just plain dumb until they join the workforce...

mornin, wee-weed up peeps

if you want to hear Scott Brown on the radio and listen to what he has to say, here's a link to WEEI sports talk radio. Scott will be on the Dennis & Callahan Show, hosted by two great Boston sports guys, during the 7 o'clock hour.

102
Are you paying attention? Good, 'cuz I don't type this shit just to amuse myself.

103 She wasn't ripping Bosox fans, she was ripping Boston Bruins fans. It was a hockey game. I get that. Bruins stink. But I am from Chicago.

104
okay, in the 8 o'clock hour Gerald Amirault will be on the above mentioned Dennis & Callahan Show.

I strongly recommend you listen to this interview.

If you want to know more about Martha Coakley and know a little history about the witch-trials persecuting the child-daycare workers in the 1980's, you'll tune in.

synopsis: the Amirault family owned and operated the Fells Acre Daycare Center for kids for decades and then, on the testimony of 2 year olds, were prosecuted and imprisoned for rape and molestation.

to this day, Gerry Amirault cannot leave his house early in the morning because he's a registered sex offender.

105 AOC is totally right.  This post is over-the-top, in-your-face, feather-boa levels of gay.  Red Sox?  Gay.  Fenway Park?  Gay.  Martha Coakley?  Gay.

Question marks?  Gay.

106
Scott Brown is aware of what's going on in the Senate.

Brown: what they did for Nebraska and Louisiana was "wrong."

107 Let me put on the tinfoil hat for a moment, combining this idiocy with an earlier Ace post -- maybe Coakley is trying to lose on purpose? I mean, how dumb do you have to be to make a statement like that re: Fenway? Here's the thinking: they've got that turd of a healthcare reform bill hanging over their heads as a party [in addition to some other dumbass things coming down the pike, such as cap and trade, and legalizing "undocumented" immigrants, that are highly unpopular], but if they kill it outright as a party being in complete control of Congress and the White House, they piss off the Left and look totally ineffectual while pissing off the rest of the country. However, if Coakley loses and Brown gets in Senate, the Dems have a ready made excuse for why they can't ram through all the stuff they really really want [excuse to the Left], but also relieve voters for fall ["Look, we don't have enough of majority to screw you over, don't worry about our power grabs"] No, I don't think they're that competent to begin with, otherwise they wouldn't have tried the political suicide in the first place. They're True Believers in their own power. An incompetent pol like Coakley is just the logical result of a press that shields dumbass Dem pols. Plenty of incompetents slip through - they can't all be Bill Clinton. They fool themselves into believing their own press, and that people like Pelosi and Reid look like leaders. And that Waxman isn't an ugly troll.

108 I'm afraid she can declare "Go Yankees!" and still win when the Dems steal just enough votes to overcome the evil tea bag Republicans. The polls just give them an idea of how many votes they will need to manufacture.

109

Hell of a campaign you're running there, Tangonine. Keep fucking that chicken.

Your writing isn't bad, for a jumped-up mechanic masquerading as a scientist. You must be from India. That's where little engineers come from now, isn't it?

What the country really needs right now is to have one more little wedge driven into it. By all means, alienate all the university graduates you can. That's sure to pay off. Maybe someday they'll invite you to a management meeting, so you can take your orders in person.

Morons,
 Like you and millions of tea party activists around America, I cannot sit by idly and watch our nation succumb to socialism. In November, we witnessed 48% of voters going to the polls who demonstrated that economic recovery and job growth are more important than petty partisan politics or the platitudes stemming from so-called leaders in Washington.

 Even after Congress attempted to ruin our Christmas, I still believe America is a great country, but there are things going on in Washington I don't like - things I want changed. We have an obligation to ensure our future generations will not be burdened by the desires of some who would rather shirk their responsibilities than work together to solve the hard problems.

 I don't come from wealth or privilege, in fact, I am a Navy brat. My parents instilled in me the lessons of hard work, integrity and that the American Dream can be a reality for those people who are willing to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, rather than simply seeking a handout for a lack of trying.

 The success of our state, our nation, and our community depends upon the desire to place service above self as we learned through the examples of our Founding Fathers. As a citizen and a  business owner, I will not stand for the status quo.

 In fact, as Ronald Reagan suggested, it will not be career politicians who lift all boats, but the rising tides created by entrepreneurs and those who run businesses who will improve the economic outlook by continuously pushing forward on their version of the American Dream. It will be tax credits and less regulations that spur employment, not White House Job Summits.

 I seek a senator to provide real solutions to our biggest challenges-healthcare reform, the economy, states' rights, foreign policy, national security as well as the outrageous spending and deficits created by our federal government.

 I share your beliefs in a strong America that enforces states' rights, secures its borders, upholds the 2nd Amendment and adheres to a Constitutional and Balanced Budget. More important, government must meet its obligations to protect the general welfare, though it does NOT need to increase its Size, Cost, Reach and Power and I will fight along with you Morons to roll back those bills that have done so.

I am just a regular guy with real concerns like most of you:
How do I pay my bills?
How can I afford my health insurance?
Will I have enough money to retire?
Will we remain safe from terrorists?
When will the economy pick back up again?

 I am grateful for AoSHQ to be sharing my heart and ideas with you.  As a  business owner and father I understand the need to keep one's word and fulfill one's obligations. I will not stand by idly while lobbyists and special interests buy congressional votes and flush America down the drain. There is too much at stake and too little common sense in Washington.

 This is truly the time for the regular guy, a Mr. Smith type, to get  to Washington and remind these elites that there are expectations and obligations to voters, not special interests, for those serving in representative government. They need to be reminded that they work for us. Ted's seat belongs to us.

 Together, we can put our nation back on course towards American Exceptionalism, just like Ronald Reagan inspired us in the 1980s. That's why I am voting for Scott Brown next Tuesday.

Yours in freedom,
SiM

Hey Martha?  What say, after you lose the election, we grab a couple of thugs and watch as they beat people up?

Fun - what?

122 First one to shit the bed wins!

123 Coakley's Marxist Senate Aide saw his opportunity to brown shirt thug the reporter. The video link from Drudge shows the Coakley throng on the way to her car, and her official thug's arms shoving the man to the left intentionally into the loose railing, and covering his PR tracks with the follow through pulling the injured reporter up and chest bumping him back with feigned concern. "Are  you ok?" Not with the incident, and not with the apology that isn't an apology. Democrat-Marxists and their non-apologies are worn out: "I'm sorry I was caught being a thug. Who are you going to believe; me or your lying eyes, peon?"

The worst of it is that AGAIN it is the official US Judicial Branch corruption in authority at play. Yesterday's highlighted photo of Coakley showed her eyes on her thug as the shove went down. A District Attorney witnesses the mugging of a reporter and claims ignorance (it will be the 5th before long). Her silence, stupidly not acknowledging the reporter's questions, proved her own arrogant ignorance. Coakley is as obviously corrupt as Holder is.

"Antipathy." Obama's camp is in DOWNFALL precisely because they are blind, deaf and mute to the rigors of our Constitution and the Voice of the Citizens whose independent eyes are opened. Do recall Obama's initiation motto: ONE VOICE -- his. That "one voice" endorses VIOLENCE against our Bill of Rights that inconvenience their FRAUD destroying our nation.

124 med students tend to be idealistic, save the world type people. It's sort of self-selecting.  They're young people, who want to help others.  Being well paid doesn't hurt, but med school isn't tons of fun so unless you're a bit of a true believer it's hard to make it through.

Get ready for a run on sentence. 

Somewhere along the line in residency after you've been up for 30 hours for the umteenth time, and you're taking care of the same nasty, ungrateful,  repeat offenders, who have been given chance after chance after chance and had all social services available to them still for free (while your own beater car is outside getting broken into for the 2nd time)  you start to get a clue. 

Once you get into practice and you have to start paying off loans, and now you have to employ a billing service in order to try and even get paid.  Hours are not much, better because in residency you're the first out the door after call, but in practice you often have to work a full day after call.  You're still taking care of enough of these repeat offenders that reality finally years later idealism is tempered by reality.

I'm not at all happy with Scott Brown's positions on health care, killing unborn babies and man-caused climate change, but I'll still vote for him as a vote against the Democrat.

No candidate gets my support unless they are a full-fledged unapologetic conservative. Some candidates, however, still will get my vote on election day as a vote against the leftist.

135 145 I still don't see how Brown rates being called a conservative.

It's pretty simple, really. Because he is a conservative. His "pro-choice" position is that of many mainstream conservatives. He wants parental notification, no federal subsidies, etc. What part of that confuses you?
As for the health bill that "Romney signed". Do you have any idea how legislation works? Romney had exactly ZERO Constitutional options. I suppose he could've resigned, but how the hell would that've helped anything?

o/t  Perry has the right idea...ween the state of the fed teete.

Perry: Texas won't seek federal education funding Published: 1/14/10, 8:45 AM EDT
By JUAN A. LOZANO

HOUSTON (AP) - Texas won't compete for up to $700 million in federal stimulus money for education because the program "smacks of a federal takeover of our public schools," Republican Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday.

The funding is from the U.S. Department of Education's "Race to the Top" program, a $5 billion competitive fund that will award grants to states to improve education quality and results. The program, created in the economic stimulus law, is part of Democratic President Barack Obama's efforts to overhaul the nation's schools.

Perry has been critical of the federal stimulus program and the federal bailout of the nation's financial institutions. He previously turned down $555 million in federal stimulus money for the state's unemployment fund because it would have required Texas to expand its unemployment benefits.

However, the state did accept billions of dollars of federal stimulus money to help balance its two-year budget in 2009.

 I still don't see how Brown rates being called a conservative.

I don't recdall anyone calling him a conservative.  But he is not as hardcore a communist as the other.

139 We don't really need to waste time courting those who would walk around on the streets of Boston.  If they are too stupid to use their limousines in this weather, can we really count on them to get out to the polls?

141 Coakely can't be that bad, the Boston Globe endorsed her today.  I believe that is a highly independent newspaper that would never have anything to do with a lefty rag like the  NYT.

142 This is almost as fun as listening to the Dems around here try to spin that this only helps to reveal how scary-smart Aunt Martha is.

It's absolutely sickening that this race is as close as it is and, in spite of all logic and decency to the contrary - this after all being Massachusett(e)s, that this unaccomplished hack who is the personification of everything that sucks about the MA hack-o-rama might just ride her reproductive plumbing and party affiliation into the US Senate.

143 "Coakley hates the Red Sox!"

Finally, a position of hers with which I can agree. 

Now, quick, someone give her a Yankees hat to wear.

#25, in Iraq we always used to pray for dumb opponents. Sometimes we'd even get them.

#49, I'm a conservative (probably a lunatic right wing one by some standards) and I was a history major. Then again Ole Miss was a pretty red-state school when I was there, and my main history prof was a retired one-star who'd taught at the War College. We definitely had our lefties around the department, but I wasn't one.

I love this. Getting a R to win in Mass is like pissing on Teddy's grave.

147 omg, Glenn Beck's sidekick jsut said that Nora O'Donnell was tweeting about pedicures while the haiti situation was being discussed.  They are looking for her to apologize soon since that is terrible to tweet about a pedicure while haiti is suffering.  And oh yeah, she accused SP and GB of being together for an hour and never mentioning haiti.  So they think she is trying to defelct from her own callousness.

This just shows what kind of brainwashing the universities are giving the students nowadays.  What was funny was some of the snide comments made by the older doctors to the students. Basically they amounted to "you do not know your ass from a whole in the ground and once you get some real expericience you will change your mind".

This reminds me of an old Gallagher bit I heard one time: "I hate college students. They think they're so smart; they don't know shit. Think about it, they can't be too bright, they're still in school."

I think it definitely depends on where you went to school. I went to an SEC school as well and don't remember having a lot of nutjob leftist professors, although there was one PoliSci prof who was definitely a liberal but also a nice man who actually encouraged debate and discussion. As for the rest, if they were nutty lefties I never heard about it.

There were left-wing kook students but they were far outnumbered by normal people. In fact, I remember the night that the bombing started in Desert Storm, there were a few dozen hippie protestors who quit after several hundred to maybe a thousand normal students showed up to counter protest the hippies. Awesome.

156 Getting a R to win in Mass is like pissing on Teddy's grave.

157 I'm sure there's a scary smart "master plan" at work here.

Posted by: curious at January 14, 2010 09:08 AM (p302b) -------------------------------------------------------- I've been thinking for awhile that even though Obama is POTUS and been branded as the second coming by the media, those with years in DC know that the guy is a one trick pony that he can really only do one thing for them. Specifically, use his magnificence to bend public opinion sufficiently to implement their Communist policies. However, even with his supposed magnificence, support for this (and hi policies in general) has cratered while the gains made by the Dems in 2006/08 will almost surely be wiped out this fall, mainly due to his lack of leadership a basic incompetence. I still think that there are fair number of Dems that see Obama as a drag from here on out and wouldn't mind a little political distance, a bit of a "short squeeze" in political terms. Congress builds power over time while the POTUS is only there for 4-8 years. Seems fair that some are already planning to hedge their bets for the coming post-Obama era.

159 The Boston Globe appears to have wiped out over 450 comments for the Coakley endorsement. 

Oh, my God, there were over 450 comments on this a few minutes ago with the overwhelming majority of them ridiculing this endorsement.

I can't believe that the Globe deleted them.

Wow, Wow, now there are only 7 comments. I can't believe that they are silencing the voice of their own readers. I mean they don't want the voice of their own readers to be heard, wow.

There are over 9 pages worth now just blasting the Globe and Coakley.

160 I watched a bit of an interview on NECN the other day. The new Mass SOH was not concerned in the least because they all believe the Globe poll was the most accurate. She doesn't care because she still thinks it's in the bag.

161 Is it possible for a woman to be a douche-bag?  Because she's a douche-bag.

162 #175 I went to UT (knoxville) and had a few humanities electives that were bizarre. Had Human Geography prof get up (the only time he did it all semester) and rebut my argument made during a presentation that the free market could be better trusted to find inherent efficiencies and productivity than the Feds. Was a very strange experience but also very enlightening as to the paradigm that most profs cling to.

163 This is the knockout political ad waiting to happen. Do it, Scott!

164 Heh:

From the comments:

We removed loppyd's comment.

I didn't swear or anything. 

165 Most liberals majored in communications, or psychology, or history, or English.  Not much critical thinking going on in those fields:  think what your prof wants you to think, get a degree!  No matter what school you went to:  all of us engineers, chemists, and physicists laughed at you (and still mock you, constantly) since you pretty much just bought your degrees.

As the resident MFA, this moronette respectfully disagrees.

166 loppyd must be silenced!

167 Telling comment from the Boston Globe:

I graduated in psychology.  Needed a degree for OCS and didn't think long-range planning was a priority.  Infantry in 69.

My father graduated in economics in 43--great time to graduate from anything--in time for Infantry OCS.

My brother graduated in political science, and was cadet commandant of the AFROTC detachment.

Your brush is a bit broad.

Still, point taken.  Not running into the world's sharp edges and corners, even in the structured environment of the lab, allows for things like wishful thinking.

@183 - I went to UT as well. I was a science major, so I had some humanities classes but not as many as most take. I don't really remember too many nutjobs, though the ones I can best recall as being lefty were in history and religious studies, but again, I don't remember a whole lot of prosetlyzing. I didn't hear too much drivel in my science courses but this was before carbon dioxide became the silent assassin.

173 I'm not even a huge baseball fan, but I've made two trips to Fenway. I love that place.  Coakley is a fool.

174 This Coakley has made a promising start, but she has a ways to go before me and my boys endorse her as a candidate.  Sure, it's good that she looks down on the little people who vote for her and, really, who wouldn't?  However, passive indifference to the voters is not outright contempt.  How about some malicious comments about bitter clingers or an inept racial reference.  It's probably too much to hope for a secret membership in the Ku Klux Klan like our favorite Kleagle from West Virginia, but give us something!  The one thing that keeps us excited about Coakley down here is her wonderful witch hunt trial of Gerald Amirault, his mother, Violet, and sister, Cheryl.  We love it when innocent people are framed and slapped in prison for years.  We double love it that Coakley keeps the heat on them, no matter what the facts to the contrary.  Coakley therefore receives our nomination for Most Evil Candidate in this race.  We'll all be voting for her.

175 Time for Coakley to put on her stompy boots.

I'm rooting for Brown, but I don't like his chances I'm afraid.  This is MA we're talking about; the Dem machine will buy and steal enough votes to overcome a few percentage points in the polls.

Unless he wins by a margin of 2% or greater with legitimate voters, he loses.

177 197 Unless he wins by a margin of 2% or greater with legitimate voters, he loses. ------------------------------------------------ I would tend to agree - but the same thing was said about Christie and he ended up winning handily. I think that if this were really in bag this close to election day, then two things would happen, Obama would visit to take partial credit, and the Dem panic meter wouldn't be stuck on 11. There has to at least be chance that she loses or you wouldn't be hearing about all of the extreme measures being taken to fight back the Brown challenge. It may be all for show, but they seem to be fighting pretty damn hard for a seat that is a sure thing.

178 But did she say it in a perfect negro accent?

179
"I mean, how dumb do you have to be to make a statement like that re: Fenway?"

meep, I don't think she's trying to lose on purpose. But getting things all your own way for too long tends to make individuals and organizations lazy and stupid.

I remember how, in the 1960s, I worked as a swimming pool attendant at a country club. The kids there were uniformly stupid: not because they lacked brainpower, but because their parents' money shielded them from the consequences of their stupid actions, so they had no incentive to do the work necessary to get smarter.

And so it is with the Mass Democratic machine: as long the sheeple of Massachusetts (and yes, Martha, that's how it's spelled) keep pulling the lever for them, they have no incentive to change. I saw that most clearly here in Cook County in 2006, when the voters, given the choice between a machine candidate who was essentially brain-dead due to a massive stroke, and an intelligent, accomplished reformer, voted overwhelming for the machine candidate. Why should the machine change when it can run a man who literally has no brain, and win?

The lesson is that as long as voters are stupid, candidates will be stupid.

Then again Ole Miss was a pretty red-state school when I was there, and my main history prof was a retired one-star who'd taught at the War College. We definitely had our lefties around the department, but I wasn't one.

I went to a local urban college for undergrad, and then Arizona State for grad school.  I don't think I had one actual conservative instructor the whole time, so I did the "tell them what they want to hear" routine and managed to get out with my sanity intact.

What's funny is that in grad school, most of the TAs I worked with were WAY more left-wing than the professors; one woman I entered the program with transferred to Wisconsin after a year because the department wasn't left-wing grievance-oriented enough for her (an observation that I found to be rather stunning), and another was a card-carrying communist.  I at least gave that guy credit for being honest about his politics--most of the others were in denial and supported the Green Party or Democratic Socialists. 

181 Concern troll writes: Also at intrade he seems to have bottomed out at 3-1 and is now up to 4-1 If you gus really thought he was going to win you would be putting money on him. Nut that is not happening For this "stock", the volume on in-trade is too low to be an accurate indicator.

182 Not too busy.  Greeting fans is just beneath her.  Don't these idiots know what a favor she is doing them by running for the senate?  Really, she has better things to do with her time.

183 How DARE you suggest I hate the Red Sox? My boy Meehan stages that excellent homage to Pedro Martinez and you ungrateful Yankees fans totally distort it in your stupid blags.
