FMRFGOPGAL -> Scott Brown's Lies Blow Up In His Face (10/19/2012 1:38:57 PM)
|
Scott Brown has a 'winning strategy' pretend he's an "independent", act like he is a man of the people (A man of the people who just happens to be into the Koch Brothers for over 10,000,000), and create any attack angle he can. Of course, everyone knows the attack on her native American heritage, or ALLEGED lack there of.
But the Brown camp has been waging an even dirtier and grossly misleading attack, focusing on Warren's role in the post litigation stages of the famous asbestos suits. When Brown was proven a liar in terms of his allegations that Warren had done something "dark", when in fact she'd set up a trust to continue [payments to present claimants and those to come after the corporations had moved on. And in fact, the REASON you can still make and get paid on such a claim is because of Warren's work, That came out pretty quickly yet Brown has continued his attack by claiming Warren's testimonials from families in her rebuttal commercials were paid actors,,, and he made sure it made it to every news outlet in Mass and RI in order to do the most damage,,, well, it blew up on him yesterday, have a look at how his bullshit story came apart:

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has apologized for suggesting that his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren paid actors to appear in campaign commercials defending her work for a major insurance company in an asbestos lawsuit.
“It was wrong for me to have jumped to those conclusions and I apologize to those I offended,” Brown said in a statement issued through his campaign.
During a campaign stop on Wednesday in Taunton, Brown was asked by a firefighter how Warren was able to get family members of asbestos victims to appear in her ads.
“A lot of them are paid. We hear that maybe they pay actors. Listen, you can get surrogates and go out and say your thing. We have regular people in our commercials. No one is paid. They are regular folks that reach out to us and say she is full of it,” Brown said, according to the Taunton Gazette.
Warren’s campaign called the accusation “outrageous and false,” releasing statements from individuals who appeared in the ads.
John English, who moved in with his father during the final months his life as he suffered from mesothelioma, called it a “terrible experience.”
