Elizabeth Warren represented the families of people who died from asbestos poisoning, and some of those people agreed to appear in one of her campaign commercials attesting to the good work she did on their behalf. As a result, Scott Brown received a question yesterday from a firefighter while he was campaigning in Taunton, Massachusetts.
"A lot of them are paid," Brown said. "We hear that maybe they pay actors. Listen, you can get surrogates and go out and say your thing. We have regular people in our commercials. No one is paid. They are regular folks that reach out to us and say she is full of it."
That was a big mistake on Scott Brown's part. Three family members came out to blast Brown for his insensitivity.
Jackson said going through her husband Sam's sickness and death from mesothelioma was one of the most difficult situations she ever endured.
"Sam and I were childhood sweethearts and we had been together since I was 15 years old," Jackson said. "I came forward in this campaign because Massachusetts voters need to know the truth about what Elizabeth Warren did to help families like mine who were affected by asbestos poisoning, rather than Sen. Brown's misleading attacks."

The "astroturf" racists, aka, Tea Party stirred up so much crap about denying Obama the 60 Senate votes to kill the filibuster and vote for Obamacare, that they rallied their fellow racists to the polls, and the Dems didn't show up for the special election.
