Thanks for the follow up. Nice work Hoot and Old School.

Thanks for starting the thread. There is plenty more material illustrating what a horrible candidate Coakly is but I will just post one more example. Anybody who believes that the Coakly campaign is in trouble because of the economy just has not been paying attention - or they just don't like watching train wrecks.

In a state having a 39 percent Catholic population:

[INDENT]Martha Coakley: Devout Catholics 'Probably shouldn't work in the emergency room'

How can a Massachusetts Senate candidate possibly offend 39 percent of voters in her state? If it's Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley, she would tell devout Catholics not to bother working in an emergency room (H/T Jim Hoft - Big Government). In the audio clip below, Ms. Coakley chokes on a question from radio host Ken Pittman referring to the conscience clause. Under the conscience clause, workers in health-care environments ranging from doctors to maintenance men can refuse to offer services, information, or advice to patients on issues like contraception, blood transfusions, etc..if the workers are morally against it. Here is how Ms. Coakley handled the matter. (audio and transcript below):

Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.

Martha Coakley: No we have a separation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.

Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.

Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room. - Full transcript here[/INDENT]
