Boston’s right-wing radio helped propel U.S. Sen. Scott Brown into office, but some of his devoted on-air loyalists are ripping him for turning his back on tomorrow’s Tea Party rally starring Sarah Palin.

“Scott Brown belongs there,” said WTKK-FM (96.9) midday host Michael Graham, one of the featured speakers at the Boston Common event. “The most important thing that’s happening in America right now is this big fight between Team Government vs. Team the People.”

The Herald reported yesterday that Brown won’t be joining the grassroots organization and former vice presidential candidate when the Tea Party Express rolls into town.

Graham, an op-ed Herald columnist, said the Wrentham Republican makes a great point when he says he has a job to do in the U.S. Senate and committee hearings but said “this is where the fight is.”

“It would have been very difficult for Sen. Brown to win without the energy and the self-organization that the people called the Tea Party did for him,” Graham said.

Yesterday, Brown called into Graham’s radio show after hearing the host criticize his snub. “The members of the Tea Party and the constituents in Massachusetts sent me down there to do a job and that’s what I’m doing,” Brown said.
