Coakley Dirty Tricks in Massachusetts

by Stephan Tawney on January 19, 2010

Just because voters no longer support a Democratic super-majority doesn’t mean powerful Democrats will release their grip on absolute power willingly. We already know that, should Scott Brown pull off a miracle, left-wing Congressional leaders intend to stall any certification and swearing-in. Now we learn that powerful Democrats aren’t just willing to use dirty tricks, they’re already using them.

Life News reports that Martha (Marsha?) Coakley supporters launched a major campaign to suppress pro-life voters intending to vote for Scott Brown. They’re lying to voters, misrepresenting their affiliation, and lying about Brown.

Behind in the polls to Republican Senate candidate Scott brown, supporters of pro-abortion candidate Martha Coakley have evidentially reached into their bag of dirty tricks. A Washington, D.C. based company is making calls to Massachusetts residents pretending to represent a prominent pro-life group.

The calls, from 202-461-3441, a Washington number registered to a company called SOOH, claim to be from Massachusetts Citizens for Life.

The caller claims the pro-life group is opposing Scott brown because of his stance against the health care bill, but as MCFL president Anne Fox told LifeNews.com late Monday, the opposite is true.

“Pro-lifers are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be Massachusetts Citizens for Life. The callers say that MCFL is not supporting Scott Brown because of his position on health care,” she said. “The truth is that Massachusetts Citizens for Life is supporting Brown because of his position on health care.”

The same number is also making calls to other state residents with various messages all attacking Brown.

“Pro-lifers are not the only victims of this scam. Our MCFL sleuths have found that this same number is calling people across the state claiming to be different groups with different messages — all anti-Brown,” Fox added.

So they’re also misrepresenting the position of the real MCFL.

Pathetic.

Update: I’ve changed the title of the post. The liars aren’t just Democrats. Most Democrats aren’t involved and some even support Brown. It’s Coakley supporters and powerful Dem leaders — not your rank-and-file Democrat.
