Curt Schilling lashes out at Martha Coakley By Hillary Chabot Thursday, January 14, 2010 bostonherald.com “That’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from politicians. So many are so far out of touch with their constituents it’s laughable and pathetic,” Schilling told the Herald. Schilling, who considered running for the U.S. Senate seat himself, recently endorsed GOP candidate state Sen. Scott Brown. He linked another blog post on his Web site 38pitches.com that slammed Coakley’s Fenway flub even more. “It’s Massachusetts. You do not make sneering insults about Fenway Park. What’s she going to do next, insult the Red Sox?” wrote blogger Cassy Fiano in a post linked on Schilling’s site. “She’s apparently been trying to win the title of Worst Political Campaign Ever.” Schilling highlighted the blog post following a Boston Globe article quoting Coakley’s response to concerns that she hasn’t been campaigning enough during the tight race. “As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?” Coakley was quoted saying, apparently referencing a Brown ad where he greets supporters outside Fenway. Schilling, famous for helping the Red Sox clinch two World Series wins, also questioned Coakley’s recent statements that terrorists have left Afghanistan. “Her Taliban comment is the height of one of these three: ignorance, stupidity, (or) dishonesty,” Schilling wrote. “I want someone with energy, someone that wants to change it all. She’s lock step business as usual in a way that should be frightening.” Meanwhile, Democratic operatives released another advertisement slamming Brown for voting in lockstep with state Republicans. They also hit Brown for owning five properties and for his apparent confusion over the Tea Party movement. While Brown said yesterday that he was, “unfamiliar,” with the conservative Tea Party movement, the Huffington Post is reporting that the Boston chapter hosted a fund-raiser for him last Saturday.
