Joe Kennedy claims threats from Brown supporters
By adamg - 1/14/10 - 9:20 amNot-Related Kennedy mentions threats on his Facebook page, in reaction to a comment from a Brown supporter upset at being called a Brown Shirt:
Donna, With all do respect. Me and my family have been threatened with violence from Brown Supporters. I am not sure I would call that a little dissent. I have had to go to my local police department due to the nature of the interactions we are getting. So forgive me if I enlighten you to the facts. I live with a 10 year old little girl. If violence directed at us is a little dissent then I think that your campaign needs to redefine the word.

By adamg - 9/21/09 - 7:05 amYes, of course, there's somebody named Joe Kennedy who has nothing to do with importing Venezuelan oil and of course he's running for that Senate seat (he did courteously wait to announce until after JOE-4-OIL took his name out of contention).
