The Democrats are having a rough time handling this. They assumed that Massachusetts was a gimme. It ain't turning out that way. What to do? What to do? Well .. you could get grumpy! John Kerry, for example, is upset that people have come from out-of-state to support Scott Brown. As long as those people don't vote in the election, they have every right to show up to support Scott Brown at a rally. John Kerry can't stand that! He compared Scott Brown's rallies to that of Sarah Palin and the tea parties. He says, "I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we've seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign rallies. This is not how democracy works in Massachusetts." Oh really? How DOES democracy work in Massachusetts? I guess for Kerry democracy works in Massachusetts when voters vote for Democrats. If they support Republicans Democracy isn't working. Interesting take.

Oh .. and Palin's 2008 campaign was dangerous? Really? I did a quick search of Google this morning using "Palin" and "dangerous." I came up with stories that both Whoppi Goldberg and Martha Stewart said that Sarah Palin was dangerous. Planned Parenthood said that Palin was dangerous for women. Christopher Hitchens said that Palin's brand of populism was dangerous. But there was not one story detailing any violence at a Palin campaign rally. All we have are the usual stories from the usual suspects - Newsweek and The Washington Post, for instance - talking about the "dangerous atmosphere" at the Palin rallies in 2008. Pretty much a typical leftist tactic. Any rally, any utterance, any posting, any blog, any column in opposition to the liberal big-government agenda is either "hate speech" or "dangerous," or both.
