Rachel Maddow takes out full page ad to debunk Scott Brown's fantasies
How sick is it that Scott Brown has to make stories up about Rachel Maddow from random tweets just so he can fund-raise off of? Really, it's bizzare.
Liberal TV lioness Rachel Maddow is demanding an apology from GOP U.S. Sen. Scott Brown for raising campaign dough on scuttlebutt she’s planning to run against him in 2012 - a false rumor that was actually trumped up by Bay State Democrats.
“The idea that the Democrats are to blame for this doesn’t even make sense. It’s ridiculous,” Maddow told the Herald yesterday. “Scott Brown made this up in order to make money off my name and likeness and I think he should stop. And I think he should apologize.”
Maddow, who lives in western Massachusetts, called Brown a “creep” in a planned MSNBC newspaper ad scheduled to run today and slammed him for sending out a nationwide fund-raising letter this week “smearing me to raise money for himself.”
--
Brown took the Maddow rumor and ran with it. He used the liberal lightning rod in a direct appeal to supporters for campaign money. “I’m sure she’s a nice person. I just don’t think America can afford her liberal politics,” Brown wrote.
Maddow said Brown never called her to ask if she was planning to run against him. In the ad and on her show this week, Maddow said she’s not taking him on in 2012.
“Anybody who knows me knows that I have no intention of running for office ever in my whole career,” Maddow told the Herald.
The Huff Po adds:
The ad concludes with a reminder that Brown has refused to appear on Maddow's show.
"My show airs at 9PM Eastern in Massachusetts on MSNBC," she wrote. "So far, Scott Brown refuses to come on. Maybe he'll change his mind -- I hope he does.
Anyone who would mess with Rachel is a fool. Mr. Brown is now officially a fool.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Smartest woman in the world. I want to marry her but she's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
is intended to be a factual statement
Gay or not her brain makes me swoon!
She has a very even temperment too.

Hell, I love Rachel's brain so much I'd turn gay to marry her.
However the only limiting factor is I'm not sure I'd want to get the plumbing changed to accomplish it! So, I'll have to live vicariously by enjoying her insightfulness and wit.

is a girl.
Scott doesn't have the mental dexterity to take her on.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
scared that great Conservative stud-muffin, tough talkin', "Bad, bad, Leroy" Scott Brown!
Maybe he'll appear on her show now. I need money, so, anyone wanna make a bet?
Grayson will be on Beck long before Scott Brown ever shows his cleft chin and manly muscles on Rachel's show. He's a-scared of her!
HA!!!
As if we didn't know this already, Republicans will stop at nothing in order to raise money and take back Congress and the White House. They lied about health-care reform. They lied about Rachel Maddow. They lied about President Obama -- being a Muslim, being born in Indonesia/Kenya, being a fascist, being a communist. They lied about their office window being shot out. They lied about this violence being bipartisan. They lied about the inflammatory rhetoric being bipartisan. There is nothing that these guys won't do to win back the White House. We must understand this.
that Brown refuses to go on Rachel's show. He's a coward and a weasel.
Interesting link within the link, "Scott Brown Pahks His Cah Illegally in DC". Apparently for Mr Brown, parking his pickup truck in a "No Standing & No Parking Anytime" zone is also OK.
Yep, Scott Brown is a real piece of work.
She no doubt drooled when extending that invitation. I tell you, Obama himself could take lessons from Maddow where cooly-yet-pleasantly eviscerating a political antagonist is concerned. She's brilliant.
I'd be pissed, too.
I want to go fishin'with her...Or lunch,yea lunch...My wife will eat lunch with me,she will not fish...Nor clean or cook said fish,thats cool.............I love smart, confident women.
....the fools do not realize,a population that can ,..... not paticipate .............in the 'economy'...,can not keep it viable!..........."we are listening,.......and we're not blind.,......this is your life....this is your time."
If I were a supporter of any political party and they sent a fundraising letter based on an obvious lie (the democratic party is letting Brown be privy to their "secret" recruiting efforts?) or a misleading official-looking document (they were censured for a letter made to look like a Census document) I would stop supporting them. If they lie about little things, how am I to believe they aren't lying about the bigger things?
A Gooper apologize? Sorry not part of their values.
I am glad that the centerfold who grifted my late senator's seat is proving to be as big a mimbo as I thought.
Enjoy your half term Mister Brownie, you ain't doing a heck of a job.
Thanks to Rachel for calling him on it.
egotistic exercise. Is Brwon so off base? Her MSNBC talking head colleague Chris Matthews considered a run.
She should have just said it is bullshit once and dropped it. That she has not done so aids both Brown and, judging by her fans reaction here, herself. It does not promote knowledge of news or any real events of the day.

Ricky, she's tried to disclaim it but Brown won't apologize for using her to raise money. And it's not like she's a television personality who's criticizing Brown from a distance, Rachel is a citizen of Massachusetts, and is actually one of his constituents.How would YOU like it, Ricky, if your senator used you as a boogeyman to extort money from the public?
She has a right not to be used or intimidated by any hack politician. And what kind of numbnuts asshole politician pisses off any voter in his district? She's asked him to cease and desist politely, and has been ignored. If I were her, I would be lawyering up right now and slapping him with a subpoena for defamation of character.
It's obvious Brown's listening to Limbaugh/Beck et. al., and is obvously too gutless to come on her show. Rachel would give him a fair hearing

Scott Brown.
Another Massachusetts GOP'er who gets elected in MA on being for MA and then gets on the national stage. Then bad mouths Massachusetts. Like Mittens Romney.
We have had a long procession of GOP governors who "saved" the Commonwealth scads of money by not spending on infastructure repairs and left the bill for the next Democrat. Like G Bush to Obama, GHW Bush, to Clinton.
Scott Brown claimed to have 190,000 miles on his truck. Trust me, he maintained it.
I just love to hear these GOP Pols from MA who bad mouth the State they come from to impress their hoped for supporter/contributors.
"It does not promote knowledge of news or any real events of the day".
Her response most certainly does promote "knowledge of the news". A United States senator dared to invoke her name as a means by which to raise funds. More to the point, out of state funds. She called him on it, in rapier-like fashion. That most certainly is news. It most certainly is a "real event", i.e., it occurred.
Just a reminder, Rickey. The votes that U.S. senators cast effect us all.
Wish I'd rebutted Ricky before M the Riverine did.
Check that, I did (18.11 vs 21.24).
No worries on the timing there Long Tooth, we both had the same thought. I even added an edit on mine today, so technically, you now beat me!

Just keep reminding Mass. voters of his "family values" stand, then show his nude photos and the pics of him in those oh-so-studly pink leather short shorts.
