Brown is an a$$hole. If he had character he would've started out debating issues; not smarm. /nt MatthewStLouis Sep 2012 #7

But why the "Yankees suck" chant. Can't go anywhere in MA and not get that one going.

Obviously they reflect the behavior of their boss, Brown given his attacks during the debate.

I really cannot get over the fact that Brown has decided to make his campaign all about HIS OPPONENT'S RACIAL/ETHNIC BACKGROUND!

The fact that Brown believes he is the arbiter of whether or not Warren has any Native American background is arrogant and disgusting and pandering - and it should be a national scandal that disqualifies him from elected office.

Instead I should have posted to your OP. Here is my post that contains the ABC TV story link on it. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021411689

Brown's staff has been caught in so many immature, unprofessional actions that really should not be dismissed as staffers going off on their own.

Hers's another link about the event at which it occurred. http://www.dotnews.com/litdrop/2012/brown-eire-pub-saturday-afternoon
