Outlandish claims from Scott Brown aren’t unusual (remember his secret meetings with kings and queens?). But in his new ad up today, his claims move from outlandish and silly to blatant - and dangerous - lies.

On September 11, 2001, the country watched in horror as two planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third into the Pentagon just outside Washington, DC, and a fourth driven into the ground in Shanksville, PA.
It’s not a day any of us will soon forget, and it irrevocably defined our policies, culture and history for the last eleven years – and undoubtedly into the future.

Campaign rhetoric can be feisty. But when a member of the U.S. House of Representatives – like Joe Walsh - makes personal attacks on his opponent or other public figures, it’s inexcusable. His attacks have been baseless, vile, and completely unrelated to issues in the campaign. Rep. Joe Walsh does not have the content or character or someone who should be representing the people of Illinois – or anyone in the United States.
Here’s a look at some of his most objectionable and recent attacks.

Paul Ryan’s work of oral fiction…er…Convention speech certainly had all the fact checkers riled up last night. Ryan’s loose relationship with the truth stretched out to health care, Medicare, the deficit, the US’s credit rating, and the closing of a GM plant in Wisconsin.

Last night was an exciting night in Arizona. EMILY’s List candidate, Kyrsten Sinema, won her hard-fought primary in Arizona’s new 9th district.

I’m as big a fan of funny internet parodies and tongue-in-cheek memes as anyone: @JillBidenVeep, @feministhulk, @LOLGOP, @FakeAPStyleBook, McKayla Maroney is NOT Impressed, Honest Toddler, Ryan Gosling’s Hey Girl, Hey Girl, It's Paul Ryan...the list goes on.
But when you have to resort to sexist and disgusting rhetoric to make a point, you’re not only not funny, but you’ve gone too far.
