Unreal… Martha Coakley Holds Rally at MLK Breakfast With Scott Brown Sitting In the Room — Brown Responds
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 18, 2010, 4:51 PM
“I certainly didn’t realize that this was a rally for Martha and I thought it was inappropriate that she was starting to ask for other people’s votes when we were trying to remember Martin Luther King Jr.”
Scott Brown
2010 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast
Boston, MA
Martha Coakley told attendees at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast this morning that, “Dr. King would be standing with me if he was alive today.” Scott Brown answered reporters while leaving the breakfast:
“I thought it was inappropriate to be politicking when we are trying to honor Martin Luther King today. I don’t have any comments on what it says about her. Right now I am not going to comment on anything political right now, we’re going to start campaigning in about a half hour… I certainly didn’t realize that this was a rally for Martha and I thought it was inappropriate that she was starting to ask for other people’s votes when we were trying to remember Martin Luther King Jr. …I don’t remember hearing anything about Martin Luther King except for minor references. “
Scott Brown attended the breakfast this morning but was not asked to speak.
Man, Scott Brown sure makes it look easy.
This was perfect:
NECN Boston
By the way… Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece would likely disagree with Martha Coakley.
Life Site News reported:
On a day when Americans across the country are celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his desire to regard all people as Americans worthy of equal treatment, his niece says King’s dream, if announced today, would also include protecting unborn children from abortion.
Dr. Alveda King, today, is celebrating Uncle’s life and she said he would agree that, when it comes to treating all people with respect, that he would include babies before birth.
“Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of a Beloved Community where all are treated with respect and dignity,” Alveda King told LifeNews.com today.
“He fought against society’s exclusion of people who were treated as less than human because of their appearance,” she added. “Today, we are compelled to continue Uncle Martin’s fight by standing up for those who are treated as less than human because of their helplessness and inconvenience.”
King told LifeNews.com, “The unborn are as much a part of the Beloved Community as are newborns, infants, teenagers, adults, and the elderly.”

KR, fantastic link! What MSM outlet would ever mention that MLK was a Republican? Why let little details like facts get in the way while you are completely bamboozling the American people.
John Fembup commented:
“Man, Scott Brown sure makes it look easy.”
Yeah. When you understand that a Senator represents the state, and that the seat is the people’s seat – - everything else follows. Maybe it’s the governance that’s really difficult, not the politicking.
BTW, on today of all days I re-read this:
“An unjust law is a code inflicted upon a minority which that minority had no part in enacting or creating because they did not have the unhampered right to vote. ”
It’s from MLKJr’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It’s still relevant to its subject today. It also seems eerily relevant to the behavior of the Democrat Party on health care – and the other issues of the day.

I’m from N.Y. I’m looking at Massachusett(e)s with envy. We have 2 Senate seats up for election this year, and I don’t see a NY version of Scott Brown on our horizon. What I would give to vote Chuckie Cheese Schumer out of office! Maybe a Brown victory will put some hope-for-change into the Empire state elecorate. A man can dream.

Coakley has an unerring ability to put her foot in it. I didn’t know Alveda King was speaking out on behalf of defenseless babies in the womb. Good for her.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
ClassicFilm commented:
Martha Coakley has taken the gun that Obama arrogantly claims that Bible-thumping conservatives cling to, and has repeatedly shot herself with it in the foot. And the leg. And another foot and leg…
No need to fabricate ridiculous stuff like the leftwing fringe media is desperately trying to do to smear Scott Brown. Martha can step in the cow patties all by herself, thank you very much.
Pass the popcorn, please… there are still 24 hours left of the “Statist World of Martha” show before Massachusetts go to the polls. I’m betting we haven’t seen the best of this show yet. Who else can this idiot insult, malign, or just be grossly clueless about (right, Curt Schilling?) before January 19?
Too bad I live in Arizona… but in my heart, I’m voting for Scott Brown.
Tom63010 commented:
Do they really think MLK would support the Democrat Party’s platform?
Do you think he would be pleased with the Hip Hop Culture?
Do you think he would embrace Gay Marriage?,
Do you think he would feel the Democrats have advanced race relations?
Do you think that he would be pleased with the unemployment rate of the black community?
Do you think he would support the Democrats stand on abortion?
Do you think he would be a Liberal Democrat?
and on and on!
Dante commented:
it’ll be a miracle if she wins. She has had as many gaffs in the last week as bidens had all last year.
now we have obama showing up to help her campaign and we all know how that will end up.
Remember when he went to virginia to help out ol’ Deeds? and his trip to help get the olympics moved to chicago? Fail and fail.
Bunni commented:
This is a super post. Mr. Brown was so right, and classy! Coakley is just worse every day. I hope we’ll be rid of her by wed. morning…poor MA has to keep her as Atty Gen, I feel sorry for them.

Brown Responds….like every ball-less, conviction-less Republican for the last 40 years responds when confronted with the Big Lie that the Dems have been using to re-enslave the blacks in America…..with a wussy, non-defusing, empty non-response.
And the Lie is slapped into the net, while the Republican goalie is, as usual, ASLEEP.
When will a non-Democrat politician explain to the cameras just what the Democrats did to the blacks in America over the last 50 or so years? When will the Republicans grow a set of testes and explain to the idiots behind the microphones and cameras that it was the Democrats who blocked ALL civil rights legislation, that it was the Dems who started the KKK, that it was 120 blacks who FOUNDED the Texas Repub. Party, that it was Dems who are keeping the blacks undereducated and in the intentionally-rundown ghetto? When will the Republicans quit ignoring the issue, and begin responding to the biggest scam ever perpetrated on a human population outside of Gaza and the West Bank?
It sure looks like NEVER. Enablers.
Daniel commented:
And MLK Day also happens to be my wedding anniversary.
So I have two reasons to honor this day.
Neo commented:
Martha Coakley had obviously confused Martin Luther King Jr. with Paul Wellstone
Manny commented:
Since you brought up the issue via LifeSiteNews link… I’m voting for Brown, but it is a great disappointment that he does NOT agree with Alveda King… He says it’s OK for a woman to make a decision with her doctor to terminate a small human being. Once Brown’s elected, we have to hold his feet to the fire on this.

If that was PWNage, stick a fork in us – we’re done.
“Scott Brown Responds” is closer to the mark, but still not there.
PWNage would be Scott Brown telling Coakley what’s what regarding the Democrats and their decades-long abuse of the blacks in America.
We haven’t seen PWNage since Reagan.
What the Democrats did when JFK was killed, came out the next day and blamed whitey and turned around the whole public perception.
If you’d asked MLK about why he was registered as a Republican, he probably would have said, well, the Dems created the KKK, the Dems are the ones shooting us with firehoses, the Dems are the ones who installed “Whites Only” fountains and lunch counters, the Dems are the ones blocking any and all civil rights legislation, and the Repubs are the ones the KKK was after, and the Repubs are the ones marching out here in the streets with us….what party do YOU think I’d be?
Dems proceeded to, after their watershed David Copperfield magic trick with the killing of JFK turning the public on to the idea that Dems are actually FOR the blacks(!), create a universal entitlement welfare state to re-enslave the blacks, with the ghetto and voting booth becoming the new plantation.
This is a history which, when told to the population that it so desparately needs to be told to, could cause the next civil war – this time, the Blacks and the Republicans against the Democrats for what they did to the blacks in America.
If I was black and just learned about the history of the Democrats and how they’ve re-enslaved the blacks over 50 years or so, I’d be just as pissed at the Republicans FOR NOT HAVING THE BALLS TO TELL ME.

Shouldn’t the political situation of MLK’s time be taught in the schools?

It does not surprise me that the public schools have intentionally swept this under the rug.

This Coakley is as common as muck. What she did is in such bad form it defies description.

listening to Rush today..
even he didn’t know MLK was Republican!!
Democrat Party
[Most people are either a Democrat by design, or a Democrat by deception. That is either they were well aware the racist history of the Democrat Party and still chose to be Democrat, or they were deceived into thinking that the Democratic Party is a party that sincerely cared about Black people.
History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960's, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks in 1894 Repeal Act. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.
History reveals that the Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery and challenge other racist legislative acts initiated by the Democratic Party.]

Put it this way:
If Alfonzo Rachel ran for public office as a Republican, he would probably never again mention the truth about what the Democrats did to blacks in America, because there must be something about politicking which prevents Republicans who know the truth from telling it.
mike191 commented:
Brown has proven his mental agility with the”peoples seat..”rebuke of Coakley ,”..inappropriate..asking for votes..instead of honoring King..”Moreover, his moral compass vs. Mrs. Coakley is very evident to the Massachusetts voter.Tuesday will be a Great day for the people of Massachusetts and our Nation with Mr. Browns victory.
Taqiyy. commented:
Newt Gingrich’s “Contract With America” was a great deed, but it should have started with taking back the schools from the Democrat Party and the Communists (do I repeat myself?).
Turns out that balancing the budget under Clinton didn’t really matter a fig in the long run, since the schools are still pumping out intentionally-made-stupid young people faster than they can be one-on-one educated.
Do the school books even mention MLK’s party affiliation? Do the schoolbooks even mention the party which founded the KKK? Do the schoolbooks tell about the 120 blacks who started the Texas State Republican Party (with 20 whites)?
Newt’s “Contract” item #1 should have been the abolition of the Dept. of Education, and it should have been heralded with the “Re-Emancipation Proclamation”.
Part of me desparately wants black America to become educated, post haste, on this matter, the part of me that knows about the freedom which results from knowing Truth.
The other part of me, smaller, quieter, hopes Christ comes back before the majority of the blacks in America find out what the Democrats did to them, because there could possibly be a black-on-Democrat bloodbath in the streets of America, and a not-very-Christlike part of me thinks this would be a JUST RESPONSE to what they suffered under this Democrat Neo-Slavery.
hermie commented:
The best thing Brown could do was to remind people that this event was to honor the memory of MLK, not be a partisan political event. It disrespected King and insulted those who were there to honor him.
Saying that, there are plenty of Dems who make it a habit of doing this; whether it is MLK Day, or a memorial service. It doesn’t bother them in the least, but they would be the first to scream if there was a Republican saying the same thing. The Dems deserve attention brought upon this blatant politicalization, and ridiculed for it.
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Folks, it is crucial that every one of us be out in the streets this weekend protesting the probably inclusion of taxpayer-funded abortion in the health care bill. We must make our voices heard against the proposed death panels that would, among other things, deny coverage to women who are pregnant with less-than-perfect babies. We must organize together in massive crowds that cannot be ignored against Obama’s science czar who had advocated a one-child policy and forced abortions and sterilizations right here in the United States of America.
Please, please, please come to Washington for the March for Life this Friday, January 22. Rally on the Mall at 12:00. March begins at 1:00. More info at http://www.marchforlife.org.
If you’re west of the Rockies, please go to San Francisco this Saturday, January 23, for the West Coast Walk for Life, which has grown by leaps and bounds every year! More info at http://www.walkforlifewc.com.
If you can’t go to either of these, most states have walks, marches and/or rallies for life in their state capitals every January 22. Just google “[your state here] march/walk/rally for life” to find out time and place.
The Obama administration and the current Congress have mounted the most vicious assault on babies in the womb since Roe v. Wade. It is imperative that as many warm bodies as possible fill the streets of Washington, San Francisco and every state capital this week. If it means taking off work for a day, do it. This is worth it. Please, JUST BE THERE!
Finally, if there is absolutely no way you can go to ANY event on January 22 or 23, you can sign up with the VIRTUAL March for Life, which will represent you in Washington on the Capitol steps this Friday. Go to http://www.virtualmarchforlife.com and add your name to the list (which is doubling every few hours right now!)

KR@ #20
Great article posted by KR at #20, written by Francis Rice, chairman of the National Black Republican Association.
She’s saying what I’ve been saying.
“In order to break the Democrats’ stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party’s economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats.”
The article is a step, but it needs to be in GQ, Rolling Stone, Vibe, and any other place where folks who need to read it most have a chance of doing so. Set to music and put on YouTube or something. I’m guessing here, and maybe it sounds racist, but I don’t care about that, becuase I know my heart, but I’m guessing that the number of black readers of Human Events who need to read this article is right down there with the number of white conservatives listening to Mos Def right now.

Mos Def fo yo ears. We can be assured that if I’m right, the number is a non-negative integer, and that there are one or two black American libs reading Human Events right now.
Democrat Gone Rogue commented:
I am a black democrat voting for SCOTT BROWN and GOING ROGUE as a protest vote!
Why?
1. Obama has failed to address the high unemployment rate among dark and light skinned negroes like me. Rather than focussing on jobs, I watch in disgust as middle class and poor Americans continue to loose jobs, loose their homes, loose their livelihoods, loose their dignity. Obama and the Democrat party has given us change we cannot believe in.
2. Obama is Bush in black skin. Glen Beck was right, except that, like Tiger Woods who only beds white women, Barak Obama despises the black race and poor American whites. Obama hates the middle class. I believe, that stopping this healthcare plan (which has been gutted to remove the single payer system) will cause Obama and the Democrats to focuss on jobs, jobs, jobs.
3. To date, Obama has given token attention to Katrina Victims, although, as Hillary noted, all he has are speeches. Mr. Obama, get off the TV and remain at the whitehouse for 8 hours at a time, you will get my vote.
4. I am applying to medical school which will cause me to incur $200,000 debt. It will set me back 7 years: 3 years of medical school and a 4 year residency. The way I see it, if Obama and the Democrats can set my life back 7 years, me too can play this game.
5. Lile Sarah Palin, Martha Coakley is a blithering female idiot…and I am a woman!
6. Loved the COSMO pictures of Brown! It’s getting hot in here…so take off all your clothes (humming along).
7. The Obamas have degraded the Office of the Presidency with Michelle’s sleeveless dresses (tacky) and all these showbiz interviews eg.: with THE OPRAH.
A la Bill Clinton: “IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID”.

Palin = Coakley?
Huh?
Before any president gives attention to “Katrina Victims,” what’s ol’ Mayor Nagin doing for them, since he didn’t waste any of his precious time bothering to evacuate them when it was his sworn duty to do so and he didn’t get the levees reinforced when the money was sent down there to do just that so the levees wouldn’t bust during a hurricane? And after Nagin, what’s ol’ ex Gov Blanco doing for “Katrina Victims” since she DELIBERATELY blocked President Bush from pre-positioning emergency resources?
And what are “Katrina Victims” DOING to help themselves? Sitting on their hands waiting for someone ELSE to “FIX” life? HOW long has it been? YEARS? They STILL “VICTIMS?” Why?
Three years ago, DIRT POOR Southern Sudanese, run from their homes by HORRIFIC WAR, living in wretched refugee camps in the slums of Northern Sudan, WALKED back 300 MILES ON FOOT, CUTTING thru FOREST, with their kids, carrying their belongings on their HEADS and they’ve ALREADY got their houses REBUILT by THEMSELVES!
And they THANKED PRESIDENT BUSH FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR PEACE SO THEY COULD GO HOME.
What a bunch of PANSY WHINERS in New Orleans! Stop making excuses for them. Other people have it worse worse worse, pick up and get on with life.
