Scott Brown threatens violence against opponent

Next Tuesday's Senate election in Massachusetts features Democratic frontrunner Martha Coakley, Republican Scott Brown (no relation to this blogger), and independent Joe Kennedy (no relation to the Kennedy political family).

Scott Brown is a sorry shell of a man who has attracted significant white supremacist support and has been caught lying about whether or not he's heard of the Tea Party movement.

And now it turns out he's been making threats against Kennedy.

Kennedy writes on his Facebook page, "Please have Scott Brown supporters stop sending threats of violence to me and my family." He told one commenter, "Me and my family have been threatened with violence from Brown Supporters. ... I have had to go to my local police department due to the nature of the interactions we are getting."

Even if Scott Brown had a chance in hell of winning, his making threats against opponents is cause enough for the Senate not to seat him. He should be in jail, not the Senate.
