She might know. She's a Massachusetts Democrat and she's one of the people who posted the photo on Twitter this afternoon.

10. Uh, Scott? That bang you just heard is the sound of your racist campaign backfiring

Other than the presidency, this might be the race I most want the Dems to win. Warren is awesome; her opponent doesn't even deserve to be on the same ballot as her.

If Scott Brown approved this, he should be ashamed. If not, he should request it be taken down.

15. What I'm wondering is who made it?

It's not just some homemade election sign made out of cardboard with something written on it.

It's professionally done.

But surely the official Brown campaign wouldn't do something like this unless he really has lost his mind, so I'm assuming it must have been produced by some sort of group of Brown supporters.

18. All that sign does is point out the level of the Scott Brown campaign

And as a state with a LOT of universities, a campaign waged on a third grade level isn't likely to hit home with a lot of the people in that state.

Hanson business owner lampoons Elizabeth Warren

HANSON —

The local merchant who put controversial anti-Obama signs outside his store has added two placards showing U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren in a Native American headdress with war paint on her cheeks.

“Elizabeth Warren is a joke. Princess Little Big Liar. Vote Scott Brown United States Senate,” state the signs outside Sullivans Inc., a motorcycle accessories distributor at 121 Franklin St.

<snip>

The anti-President Obama signs, still there, sparked controversy in recent weeks.

One large sign shows a young girl giving the middle finger to the president. Another shows President Obama and says: “Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its idiot. Obama One Big Ass Mistake America, Vote Mitt Romney for 2012!”

Hanson officials say the signs violate town bylaws. A Zoning Board of Appeals hearing has been set for 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 9 and the issue could end up in federal court.
