Elizabeth Warren’s campaign manager has apologized to a campaign aide to Senator Scott Brown after the staff member may have been subjected to antigay rhetoric by Warren supporters earlier this week.
It is unclear precisely what transpired, but the Warren campaign has acknowledged that some of its supporters made inappropriate comments to Ross Hemminger, Brown’s youth coordinator, outside Springfield Symphony Hall, where supporters of both candidates were chanting and waving signs before the Senate debate on Wednesday.

Bigotry amidst Granny's Demomob? Naaaaaahhhhhh... say it ain't so, Lizzy babe. . . And of course we don't let the public know details, except that Lizzy gets her campaign staff exonerated. . . Let it be those suckers who gather around her like a swarm of moths around a summer evening backdoor light . . . And then Granny slams.... or is a better word 'hammered' Sen. Scott Brown for voting against her ex-Harvard Law boss... Atty. Kagan. And what is it that Lizzy is upset about? Not that Brown might have seen Kagan's legal career as including something he does not favor, but that he didn't vote for the ex-U.S. Soliciter General and Harvard Law School dean because she favors abortion and is 'pro-choice'. In other words if Granny doesn't see a political opponent voting exactly the way she thinks votes ought to go, she tries to shame them, the way 17th Century Salem residents shamed some people back in the days of the witch trials. Only thing is, Lizzy knows in her esquire heart that she can't get some of her Demohack goons to use a firebrand on Sen. Scott's forehead. Now we have Lizzy's acolytes verbally assaulting people on grounds that there may be somehow a question of gay being involved. Lizzy and her mob of goons made such a big deal out of so-called 'chop' gestures as being indicative that some of Brown's followers are anti-Indian. Now Lizzy's goons get far slimier . . . bringing anti-gay into the Warren campaign.
What an instructive incident. When a few Warren SUPPORTERS do something offensive such as the gay slur incident, Elizabeth Warren apoligizes. When Brown's deputy chief of staff and hired campaign workers engage in racist behavior, Brown refuses to apologize and accept responsibility for people on his payroll. Sort of tells you all you need to know about Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown.
