Scott Brown Reveals Tragic Reason Why He Has Empathy For People
To the absolute horror of the teabaggers who supported his longshot run for Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat, Scott Brown has turned out to be a pretty decent and fair-minded guy, and apparently has no qualms about voting for what he thinks is the right thing, regardless of party. Today we learn that he was savagely beaten by a series of asshole "stepfathers" and also sexually molested, repeatedly, by a camp counselor who threatened to kill 10-year-old Scott Brown if he ever revealed the assaults.
Here's the60 Minutesvideo:
According to the GOP, Scott Brown is not a victim, but an accuser.
I still have a little. If any Republican luminary has anything to say about this, it will inevitably be that sexual abuse of children is a product of the liberal mind, the anti-traditionalist mentality, and the "other" among us. Christians, conservatives, and those with family values are righteous, or at worst, they are occasionally fallible but redeemed.
Mostly, though I expect they won't have anything to say about this.
