Scott Brown: Class Act. Not.

[Atman]

Okay, you could argue that the band members were a bit too in-your-face. But a politician has to know how to deal with disruptors. Clearly, Brown did not.

I know these guys, though not personally, just having met them through the annual "Honk!" music festival held in Somerville, MA (Boston) and organized by some friends of ours. Good on them for giving Brown the business, and allowing him to demonstrate what a douche bag he truly is.

Band members, Brown exchange words

PORTSMOUTH — Members of the Leftist Marching Band, known for political activism, admit they were mildly taunting Senate candidate Scott Brown on Halloween night, but say they were pretty surprised when he verbally insulted them in public in return.

Pat Spalding, a member of the band, said the incident, which happened in the Rusty Hammer following the Portsmouth Halloween parade, was a stellar moment for the band because the Facebook page for the Leftist Marching Band received 1,300 new page views and got many “likes” for the page after band members posted what transpired.

“These were liberal Jeanne Shaheen supporters who were trying to create a disturbance and their behavior was totally out of line.” said Lauren Zelt, N.H. GOP spokesman, when the campaign was asked to give a comment.

This is what was posted on Saturday: “Last night at the Hammer, post-Portsmouth Halloween Parade, The Leftist Marching Band, was personally insulted by Scott Brown. After treating him to a rousing rendition of our song 'Health Care Blues,' he approached our table to ask, “What did you guys do with the money you should have spent on singing lessons? Because you suck.”

4. That was a mild insult. And a rather pathetic one.

Certainly not worth writing about.

5. OMG, the Rusty Hammer!!!!!

I haven't been in that place for almost thirty years! How cool that it's still operating! It was quite the place to toss a few back in Portsmouth, back in the day.

How nice that the hellraising tradition continues to this day! I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall to see the carpetbagger lose his cool!
