BMG Exclusive: Scott Brown ad appears on column proposing military takeover of the U.S.

September 30, 2009 By David

  • Officers swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to “obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
  • Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.
  • [A litany of the other things that these “top military officers” might be seeing appears here.]

    So, if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you do? …

    [D]o they soldier on, hoping the 2010 congressional elections will reverse the situation? Do they dare gamble the national survival on such political whims?

    And the answer:

    Anyone who imagines that those thoughts are not weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of America’s military leadership is lost in a fool’s fog.

    Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a “family intervention,” with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

    Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

    Now, so far, it’s still (barely) plausible to maintain, as the author does, that “[d]escribing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.”  But then he says this:

    Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, “We can always worry about that later.”

    Wow.  I mean, wow.  That is seriously out-there, insanely extreme stuff that doesn’t exactly seem in keeping with what most Massachusetts voters are looking for in their next Senator.

    Brown’s ad is not a Google ad or some other automated service that places ads you might not expect on your site (like the Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter ads that Google has decided should run periodically on BMG).  It’s a banner ad purchased by the Brown campaign specifically to run on Newsmax — as we can tell by the URL of the “donate” page to which the ad directs the click-through.  

    To be fair to Brown, he probably did not know about every bit of Newsmax’s content when he bought the ad, and maybe he didn’t realize that regular Newsmax columnists would prefer to see the Joint Chiefs running the country instead of the president.  Well, now he knows.  So, Senator Brown, what do you think about your advertising dollars supporting a columnist — who, by the way, is “a regular columnist for Newsmax.com” — writing approvingly of a military coup in this country?  Do you intend to ask Newsmax to be sure that your ad does not run next to this column?

      I dislike Brown as much as the next guy, but this is a silly gotcha. I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask someone to read and approve every column on a web site they run an ad on.

        But with Newsmax, this isn’t just an isolated column.  That fits entirely within their extremist oeuvre.  Scott Brown is helping to fund that dreck with his ad dollars.  It is not completely unreasonable to ask him whether he agrees with their editorial stances.

            I wouldn’t fault him for putting this ad on newsmax, his campaign simply does not have time to map out a methodical advertising scheme. However I would fault him for continuing to buy advertising space from them, and expect him to discontinue his current ads there.

            p>I do not expect pols to never make mistakes, even if after the fact the mistake is seemingly obvious. One thing I do look for is a pol who is not afraid to admit and fix their own mistakes. And if he does do that I think I would probably like him better than if he had never put the ad up in the first place.

            <

            p>On the other hand I do want to say that I think putting this on the front page is making a mountain out of a mole hill, and is the same sort of tactic that we Dems often fault Repubs for employing (Think Bill Ayers connections/ Obama’s ACORN ties). What should be up for discussion are the policy positions that actually come out of Brown’s mouth, not this kind of ridiculous guilty by association stuff.

I would gather that the ad was placed looking for donations rather than votes because probably 20 people in MA read Newsmax. It is unlikely that Brown would want his name appearing on Daily Kos (the antithetical of Newsmax.)

          Ads pop up on BMG from time to time that definitely do not jive with our views.  They are random based on search words.  Otherwise, shouldn’t the campaign be sticking to state media websites to place the ads under their control?

          • sco says

            September 30, 2009 at 11:45 am

            Of course.  Even if the ad were served up by Google or similar, Newsmax would get money for every click on the ad and that money would be ultimately coming from Scott Brown’s campaign.  That is how Google ads work.

      Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Our campaign’s web ads are targeted at an audience that will find my pro-jobs and anti-tax message appealing. Obviously, we don’t review or endorse editorial content, or the opinions of columnists, on websites where we advertise. However, I’m also a proud member for nearly three decades of the National Guard. I’ve sacrificed time away from family to perform my military duties and obligations. I respect the chain of command and my commander in chief, and I find the John Perry column offensive and insulting to all military members, who like me are loyal and duty-bound. For that reason, I’ve instructed my campaign staff to take down the Newsmax ad.

          Why should right wing pranksters be the only ones who crash offices with partisan prostitution tax questions? At least these are about a real prostitute. Go ahead, give him a call.

          Now me, I don’t care who sleeps with our politicians.

          Honestly, I couldn’t care less. If it calms them down enough to make some decent policy decisions, let ’em sleep with all the prostitutes they want. Hell, let’s get them some government sponsored prostitutes. Why not? Let’s subsidize sex workers to soothe the raging libidos of our wildly oversexed legislators. At last, a stimulus package the Senate can get behind. We can call it the “pubic option.”

          But hypocrisy is a special kind of gall. If Senator Vitter is so outraged by the ACORN prostitution scandal, surely he doesn’t mind talking about his own.

          The group that Vitter and others [Scott Brown] so easily condemn provides vital services to some of the poorest people in America. ACORN is clearly imperfect, but it takes a bold man to attack their sex worker interactions when his own have gone unpunished.

          So as long as the self-proclaimed “most outspoken critic of ACORN” is sitting in judgement of prostitute consultations, let’s benefit from his real world experience. Call up Senator Vitter’s office, ask him all your questions vis-a-vis hooker management services. If the topic is important enough to deny services to the most underserved communities in America, it’s important enough for him to address directly.

          And who knows? Maybe Vitter will even come to appreciate ACORN. They cradle our nation’s poorest communities, wrapping them in a cushion of service that absorbs their issues and softens blows to vulnerable regions. It’s almost, I dunno…diaper-like. Diaperish. Diaper-y-ist-ic.

          Ask him all about it: (202) 224-4623.

          This is delicate, because I don’t know if it’s anyone’s business. Y’know, some things should just be between a Senator and his prostitute. But, on the other hand, it’s pretty hilarious. In the end I caved to cheap, tawdry references. It’s a weakness.

      MA Democratic Party Blasts Scott Brown For
      Campaign Ad that Ran with Column on Right-Wing Website

      Massachusetts Democratic Party chair John Walsh today blasted Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown for running campaign advertising on a right wing website long known as a forum for extremist views and which is now at the center of an uproar over a columnist’s suggestion that the American military may stage a domestic coup.

      Brown for Senate advertising appeared on the website, http://www.newsmax.com, next to a column, posted yesterday, in which NewsMax regular John Perry wrote of a supposedly growing “possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the ‘Obama problem.'” The column has since been taken down by NewsMax, but not before Brown’s promotional support was documented by a screen capture posted to Massachusetts’ top political blog, Blue Mass Group.

      Perry’s outrageous, extreme assertion is currently a major item of discussion on leading national blogs like Media Matters for America (here), Gawker (here), and The Huffington Post (here). The editors of Blue Mass Group additionally point out that the Brown campaign appears to have made a deliberate choice to advertise on NewsMax; his ad was not simply placed there by Google.

      “The voters of Massachusetts have long rejected these kinds of extremist views,” said Walsh. “Scott Brown’s decision to associate his campaign with the most radical voices in the Republican Party is more proof he cannot be trusted to vote with our state’s values and interests in Washington,” Walsh added.

      The same website also yesterday was promoting its exclusive interview with Fox News’ Glen Beck, in which Beck claimed America could be facing a “Reichstag Event” in which President Obama suspends American civil liberties and seizes dictatorial powers.

      And, in August 2009 the site promoted claims it had new evidence President Obama may not have been born in the US.

      I think his response is reasonable.  Of course, he chose, as you point out, this dance partner.  Sometimes ya get a little on ya.

      p>Newsmax in all its forms is an abomination and is likely one of the major reasons why the secret service doesn’t sleep at night.

      p>I have to say as a veteran, though, I find this talk appalling.  Who the hell do these people think they are?  I’m at a loss for words, really.  

      <

      p>I will say, though, that after spending eight years distancing myself from the military under the Bush years, I’m hoping that a rehabilitation of service and what it means to be in the United States Armed Forces will occur under the Obama administration.  I’m not holding my breath, though, as I think we may have passed the point of no return.  Our role as international bully is indisputable.

      <

      p>That said, I’ll know it’s safe to say out loud I was in the Army when the United States contributes meaningful numbers to U.N. Peacekeeping Forces around the world.  Until then, no, and the Armed Services will remain a haven for sexual deviants, religious zealots, and antisocial miscreants as a result.

        The last time a group of people tried to take over this country by military force, it was aimed at a Democratic president loved by the people as well…

           to this?

          What the businessmen proposed was dramatic: they wanted General Butler to deliver an ultimatum to Roosevelt. Roosevelt would pretend to become sick and incapacitated from his polio, and allow a newly created cabinet officer, a “Secretary of General Affairs,” to run things in his stead. The secretary, of course, would be carrying out the orders of Wall Street. If Roosevelt refused, then General Butler would force him out with an army of 500,000 war veterans from the American Legion.

          Fortunately, two-time Medal of Honor recipient Butler was a true patriot. He also wrote a short book titled War is a Racket. Recommended reading.

            Mind you, one of the motors of that effort was Al Smith, also a Democrat.  The GOP was utterly irrelevant at the time.

              was supposedly involved:

              The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

                I remember reading that Prescott was accused in all of this, but couldn’t find an online source to back it up.

      like later this month, who is who and who says what is going to have much less relevant in daily survival.
