Ugh. Brown (R) Makes the JFK Comparison

Brown Makes the JFK Comparison

Scott Brown (R) has released the first advertisement in the general election for the U.S. Senate seat once held by Ted and John F. Kennedy, the Boston Globe reports.

In the ad, called Different People, Same Message, JFK morphs into Brown as both read from a 1962 Kennedy speech calling for tax cuts. It's a bold move given famous instances of Democratic distaste at Republican candidates comparing themselves to the iconic former President.

Video of ad at link

1. While it's true that the JFK Tax plan did call for reducing rates for the wealthy for the first

time--you have to recall that rates back then were 90% or something. This guy wants to reduce taxes mostly for the rich which have already been reduced three times by Bush.
