It's a pretty stupid strategic maneuver unless he is trying to speak to his extreme base and not Indes, who he should be courting.
We know this country is in big trouble when the mere act of telling the truth is considered 'extreme'.

The Republican Party needs to appeal to the center and moderates and independents. We cannot win with the wingnut reactionaries. We need to meld conservatives with the center, marginalizing the whackos to the left and the right. I think a ticket of Romney and Huckabee in 2012 can do that, as long as we drop the wingnuts and tell Rush to take a hike.
Im sure some will try to dismiss this as an isolated stray remark. But its clear if you watch the video that theres a broader context: Brown is clearly aligning himself with the Limbaugh wing of the GOP, in which slurs along these lines are standard fare. And as Steve Benen points out, claims about Obamas illegitimacy were an integral part of the birther craziness.
So will this actually make political waves? If Brown were a Democrat, it would instantly be a huge scandal. The outrage machine would be working overtime. And the news media would, of course, pick it up.
This is the crackup- "If Brown were a Democrat, it would instantly be a huge scandal." Oh Yeah, did you happen to see the huge scandal made of Harry Reid's racist comments about being a ligher skinned negro. That really inflamed the democrats, it inflamed them so much that they circled the wagons on it.

Boy oh boy, is the Coakley campaign getting DESPERATE..I didn't know the Coakley election was all about OBAMA..
I heard about this video yesterday and the left was going all a twitter saying how they needed to get this OUT...

We know he's extreme simply because he is praising Sarah Palin. It's not complicated.
Independents don't praise Sarah Palin and those are the votes he is seeking at this point.

Simpletons usually give simpleton answers. Your answer was not only not complicated but predictably incorrect. And it comes straight from the broad-brush smearing talking points that you were faxed this morning from the Demonrat party.
Palin is extreme? Wow... that's news to the people of Alaska where she had wide bipartisan support. Indepents like Sarah -- everyone likes Sarah.

Rush isn't running and Huccabee is toast with the action that he took for early release of a con who ended up killing 4 cops. No way in hell. Romney is a conservative, maybe you did not know that, but he is.
I am a conservative: smaller government, smaller civil service, less intrusion into citizens' lives, right to own and bear arms, national security and no foreign adventurism.
I certainly hope Mitt is the head of the ticket. Rush and Sean are not his type of tea. If you don't like Huckabee, then maybe one like him will appear in the next two years with his GOP populism and anti-corporatism.
In essense--DOGBERT--just did a big doo-doo. He took this article completely out of context--somehow added Palin's name to it--& then MADE UP a conspiracy theory using the above linked source.[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR]
She's a fear mongering, extreme right, wingnut.
Whichever way you take it, it plays to wingnuts and he already has their vote.
I take it Sarah Palin is being accused of being a fear-monger because she has the audacity to speak out against "the Obama".
We all should know you are not suppose to speak out about a Democrat President, only a Republican one.
I'm not sure I agree. I think the GOP is dead as a legit ruling party until it divorces itself from the evangelical wing of the conservative base. Until the party eliminates the theological bent and liberalizes in social concerns they are done.
The trick though is to REALLY liberalize. The "progressive" arm of the Democratic party is just as dangerous as any evangelical.
[For the record, Dogbert, the USA doesn't recognize bigamy as legal which means his second marriage was not legal, ie, obama WAS born out of wedlock by your very words.
Who cares? The hidden agenda is the tie to Obama's Muslim father. That is what Scott is inferring.
once again showing you're a phony
who posted this thread? brown did not raise the point, he was responding....
once again you show yourself to be nothing but a dishonest hack
how ignorant you are....the facts are he was married to a woman in africa....just because you're married in the US doesn't automatically mean marriages in other countries don't count
but you're just a racist who thinks african marriages mean shit
Either you're joking or delusional. Either way, you fall flat on your face.
explain...
_NH, why are you engaged in the very Alinsky tactics (above) that you decry others for doing. No one in politics should engage in such tactics.
