The new Republican Senator from Massachusetts went on FOX News this evening and was asked about the nut who crashed his plane into an IRS office building, because he hates the government. Here is what Scott Brown said, when asked about this possible act of terrorism:Almost? Bullshit. He is completely justifying it. There's no way any elected official should be trying to find a way to empathize with what Joe Stack did today. None. This guy crashed a plane into an occupied building with the intent of causing harm. That's terrorism, period.
"I don't know if it's related, but I can just sense, not only in my election, but since being here in Washington, people are frustrated, they want transparency, they want their elected officials to be accountable and open, and talk about the things that are affecting their daily lives. So I'm not sure if there's a connection, I certainly hope not, but we need to do things better.The best part is what comes next. Cavuto says, gosh, can you imagine people (read: liberals) claiming that this is what happens when you build up populist rage - isn't that a bit extreme? Brown concurs. After suggesting that the populist rage that led this man to crash his plane into an IRS building was the same kind of thing that got him elected.
Which almost sounds like he's justifying the plane crash.
It is inexcusable. And even worse, he's trying to score points with the Teabaggers while doing it. "Yes, the anger that made this guy crash a plane into people, well, I don't know if there's a connection but..."
No way. You lose, Scott. I'm completely with Aravosis on this one. Brown needs to be called out on this.
