Republican Scott Brown’s two daughters this afternoon called on their father’s Democratic rival, Martha Coakley, to take down a television ad that highlights an amendment that Brown filed in 2005 that in certain cases would have allowed doctors to deny emergency contraception for rape victims.

“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics,” Ayla Brown, 21, told reporters at the Omni Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston. “And as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that. Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading and, once again, I’m offended. My dad would always stand up for the rights and needs of rape victims. And he’s kind, understanding, and he’s a very compassionate father.”
Scott Brown was not at the event, sending his daughters instead as his chief surrogates. Ayla Brown -- who is no stranger to public appearances as a former "American Idol" contestant and a Boston College basketball player -- and her sister, Arianna, were joined by about a dozen other women who are supporting Scott Brown's campaign.

"This is the message: The message is that Scott Brown was behind that legislation and voted for it in 2005,” Angela Davis, co-chair of “Women for Brown,” said this afternoon. “This
is desperation, and it’s disgusting, and she needs to take down the ad."

1. The facts are disgusting? If they can't

handle the truth ..maybe they should get out of politics?

2. He should stick to modeling

3. I guess they are fair targets now, according to right wing logic, right?

4. God, they should get counseling from the Bush girls

5. He's being called on his record--that seems standard.

If his daughters are being called in to the service of his campaign to speak as women, well, isn't that nice? They think their daddy is A+++. And they completely understand that a woman who has been sexually violated would have been denied the peace of mind of knowing that she wouldn't carry the fetus of her attacker...if their father had his way. He's a compassionate guy who would deny victims that--it's the people who would point it out that are picking on their Daddy and are wrong!

(So, if his vote was okay--why is it wrong to point it out, again?)

Precious, really, but irrelevant.

He still has to answer at the polls for his voting record. And not all women are okay with it. I don't know that too many pro-choice women would be moved by their loyalty.

Talk me down.

7. Massachusetts is full of Democrats and we can tell Brown is an idiot.

Those who care will show up and vote Coakley. Have any friends in Mass? Email them to vote next week.

9. She's gonna squeak through

8. Scott can't speak for himself?

Hiding behind his daughters to avoid having to explain the bill he sponsored? Yeah, the stink of desperation is here, but it's not coming from Coakley's campaign.

10. no, her father is the kind of politician that discourages young women...not the ad
