Brown camp not investigating Whitman slur

The Jerry Brown (D) campaign tells First Read that it has no plans to investigate who in its campaign used the word "whore" in reference to Republican gubernatorial opponent Meg Whitman.

When asked if they planned to fire the person responsible, campaign spokesman Sterling Clifford said he was uncertain the campaign would even be able to identify the staffer.

"I don't know that it's possible," Clifford said of identifying the person, contending there could have been a dozen or more people close enough to the phone to be heard. And they're not interviewing staffers to find out, he said.

An aide can be heard saying the word in a phone call recorded on a voice mail leaked to the Los Angeles Times. The call was placed by the Brown campaign to a union representative of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, seeking its endorsement. But Brown and the campaign did not hang up the call and the rest of their conversation was recorded on the union representative's voice mail.

News of the call, however, only surfaced last night, following a week of negative press for the Whitman campaign over the ex-eBay CEO's employment of an undocumented worker for nine years in her home. The Brown campaign contends Whitman promised to protect police pensions from potential pension reforms, whereas Brown made no such promise. The Whitman campaign accused the Brown campaign of orchestrating the immigrant lawyer story with lawyer Gloria Allred.

What the staffer said was "inappropriate," Clifford said. But, he added, it's clear it's not Brown who used the word. Clifford said he found it "interesting" that this recording surfaces just three days before their next debate, to be moderated by NBC's Tom Brokaw.

We have had Brown before in California as the governor and he is a loser. Don't need his lying foul mouth in office again. What goes around comes around Brown. Set up the maid with Allred just before the election and it's your turn. Big difference however, you set yourself up with your big mouth. There is a whore in this race and it ain't Meg.

Why would he investigate this when he is trying to ride Gloria Allred's BS immigration suit?

I remember leaving california in the 3rd grade and hitting the 5th grade in Texas. I graduated highschool at 15 and had my first BA at 18. It is now the opposite. texas has a much better education system.

I got 2 more BAs when I was way older, but was amazed at how sad my fellow students were.

Just sad how bad the education has become with the creation of the Department of Education.

California is a perfect example.

    It turns out Meg is defined by definition # 3 in both cases.

    No matter how much you drool, Meg has compromised herself for power instead of the needs of the people.

      I an not crazy about Jerry Brown but if he is a 70 year old pot smoker, he can't be all that bad. Meg Whitman bothers me because she could have been kinder to her hired help and someone who spends that much money getting herself elected seems to have wasted alot of money that might have done some good in the world. Maybe she will do some good for California but I don't see her doing anything for anyone but herself. The republicans probalbly love her. I think I am going to go roll one.

      This is stupid and childish...according to this article...

      An aide can be heard saying the word in a phone call recorded on a voice mail leaked to the Los Angeles Times.

      This was alleged to have been said following a phone call that wasn't "completely" hung up...it wasn't part of a conversation being held with this particular organization...

      The call was placed by the Brown campaign to a union representative of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, seeking its endorsement.

      But Brown and the campaign did not hang up the call and the rest of their conversation was recorded on the union representative's voice mail.

      Again...this is petty...when hasn't any of us sworn after we "thought" that we had hung up a call?...

      Since this little infraction was taped and held out for political wrangling...I say let this go...it was definitely not meant for Whitman's ears...I'm sure I've been called that and worse behind my back...

      Typical Liberal...ignore it, no story here.

Notice how quiet the Libs are when it is any action like this against a Republican woman? Where is NOW? Dems can degrade women and get away with it all day long. I seem to remember that nutbag rep from FL calling a lady a whore and getting away with it too...Hypocrits are Libs...Libs are Hypocrits. Wonder what kind of disdain Brown has for women if he can pass this off as business as usual.

      So, Anita, tell me this...if one of Whitman's aides had uttered a racist slur against, let's say, an African American candidate, that would be completely kosher with you because it wasn't meant for your or the candidate's ears?

      I didn't think so. It would not be ok with me, either.

      Now, why waste your time defending an indefensible act?? Just because the campaign has a "D" behind its name??

      It is a situation like this that really puts the hypocrisy on display....and that goes for both parties.

      And of course, new Attorney Jill, you would say that to the Republican operative that substituted the name "Obama" for "Osama" and made a pretty creepy statement culminating in asking for an "execution". I mean, really, making an error like that once is possible, but the amount of times that guy did either means he is stupid, or trying to make President Obama seem, well, scary and foreign. You WILL write of your outrage about that, won't you Jill? By the way, how does Brown become a misogynist when someone else uses the word? What is your theory, guilt by association? Would that hold water in court...."your honor this guy committed the crime, but this guy knows him so he should go to jail too.." Let's have a modicum of honesty about faux outrage, can we?

      newdaydawning, you completely miss the point as usual. My point is that you people on here who are saying that Brown and his campaign should get a pass on this one are the same ones who would be (and were) outraged with something like the substitution of Osama for Obama....and you think that it's a logical position to take.

      My point is that it is not logical, and it displays the blind devotion some on this blog have toward their respective political allegiances.

      If you re-read my post, I never expressed outrage at the Brown campaign or any other campaign; my outrage is towards all of you blind lemming hypocrites....on BOTH sides.

      And finally, my use of the term misogynist goes to people on here who DEFEND this kind of language used toward women. And, in any case, since Brown is the head of his campaign, he is responsible for the things that his campaign says and does. Think about it, newdaydawning....if a McCain aide, for example, had called Obama a derogatory name, you would likely call on McCain to fire that person and denounce the statement. If not, you would attribute the actions of that aide as though they were the actions of McCain.

      The Jerry Brown/Meg Whitman brouhaha reminds me of a quote attributed the late Winston Churchill:

      A certain gentleman inquired of a lady whether she would be willing to sleep with him for 50,000 pounds. After some hesitation, the lady replied that she supposed she would, in consideration of the magnitude of the offer. Then he asked whether she would sleep with him for twopence.

      "Certainly not," she responded with indignation. "Just what kind of lady do you think I am?"

      "Madam, I believe we have already established that," he remarked calmly. "Now we are just haggling over the price."

      Meg Whitman’s price to date is around $120 Million!

      Save the FAKE POUTRAGE Meg!

      Speaking of ‘prices’ it was also established this week by the Republican party that the going ‘price’ of a human life is $75.00!

      Good try, Jilly, but no cigar. I asked you a specific question about similar outrage about that Wisconsin operative, and you, as usual ignore the question and try to make yourself right about blathering on about a word. Actually, there are times when that word is the only word that applies, and it is accurate. I give Brown a pass on it, he didn't say it. How about you?

      #7.7 - Sat Oct 9, 2010 5:41 PM EDT

      The reason I ignore the question is because it is inapposite. As long as you're just dying to play this little game, let me ask you this: if you are willing to give Brown a pass on this because "he didn't say it", are you willing to give a GOP candidate a pass for something that his campaign operative says? And does this mean that campaign operatives can go around throwing insults left and right with no culpability attributed to the candidate him/herself? Because that's essentially what you're saying is applicable in this case.

      And to answer your question, newdaydawning, I've read the article, but I would like to hear the audio of the Wisconsin situation. It seems like it really could have been just a mistake, and based on your feelings about this Brown situation, you apparently seem like the type to give one the benefit of the doubt.

      #7.8 - Sat Oct 9, 2010 9:00 PM EDT

      Actually, I have heard the audio, and for those who suffer from Republicanitis, I suppose the argument would be that he "made a mistake". Pretty hard to buy, a mistake is doing it once, doing it as often as this yahoo did is either pure stupidity or purposeful. As to Brown, if he didn't say it, which he didn't, I don't need to "give him a pass". Are you SURE you got through Law School? That seems pretty basic. I don't necessarily consider the word "whore" to be an attack on womanhood, because if you are adroit with language, which you should be, you would realize that the word can also be applied to men. It implies action, not gender. And that is about as simple as I can make it for you.

      newdaydawning, you still ignore the basic premise of my query. One more time....you say that Brown gets a pass, because it wasn't him that said it, yet you fail to address the part of my question that asks if this means that all campaigns get passes for the inane and disrespectful things that their operatives, aides, and workers say about the other candidate(s)? Are candidates not responsible for the things their campaigns do and/or say?

      And, just for the record, I don't suffer from "Republicanitis"....luckily for me, I am someone who is actually capable of independent thought and don't need a political party to tell me what's right, wrong, and in-between.

      So cute Jill. You are nothing if not predictable, and somewhat tedious. An objective observer might suggest that you are about as Republican as they come. But, you do not ask a question, you extrapolate a conclusion based on your inability to understand what I have said. Again, reducing it down to the most simple form that I can, so you might have SOME chance of understanding...you have an agenda to make me agree with a statement so that I fit into the box you assume I fit. You wish to present yourself as being above the fray, suffering from ennui that ANYONE might take one side or the other, when it is pretty clear that you are as Republican as they come. You consider that to be a pejorative, true as it is, because it does not fit that erudite image that you attempt to construct. But since you aren't very skilled at these things, it doesn't work.

      newdaydawning, it was a simple question that you still refuse to answer. You put yourself into a box. I understand what you said, it is just inapposite to my original statement, which did not express "outrage" at the Brown campaign per se, but at the people who get on here and defend it while chastising like conduct from the "other side". My point is that people are hypocritical when they make excuses for "their side" while moaning and groaning and crying foul at each and every action taken by the "other side".....BOTH political parties do this, and I find it equally as immature and hypocritical when the shoe is on the other foot, i.e., a Repub does this to a Dem.

      I know that I am not a Republican, but even if I was, who really cares? You are among those who wish to categorize people into political parties so you can easily identify your "enemies", as so many on here do, which I find quite pathetic. I do not think that I am "above the fray" at all times, but I do think I am reasonable enough to call out a candidate, Dem or Repub, when they've done something that is, quite simply, wrong.

        #7.13 - Sun Oct 10, 2010 12:32 PM EDT

Except you aren't. I realize that these issues are very difficult for you to suss out. You want it to be very black and white, as the immature ALWAYS do, and they are simply not.

So, I must have struck a nerve. I never said I was any better than anyone else, I don't know what "issues" you're talking about that are "difficult for [me] to suss out" and I'm also not sure what word it is that I originally mischaracterized, as you say. It amuses me that you refuse to answer a simple question....a "no" would suffice, you know, if you're not one of the blindly devoted. But whatever. Keep talking in circles, and we don't get anywhere.

          Newdaydawning, I was merely saying that attempting to converse with you is an exercise in futility.

          Anita, you are completely off the mark, like newdaydawning, as usual. I will not argue race with you, as that was clearly not the focus of my comment. And in any case, sexist slurs have been uttered by politicians and recorded and mentioned on the news. Exhibit 1: Brown campaign's use of the word "whore". Perhaps you should likewise check your history.

          I was making a point about hypocrites and lemmings (of both political parties) who defend indefensible actions solely because of the letter behind a candidate's name.

          I'm not arguing anything else besides that point, which you people seem unable to grasp.

          As with newdaydawning, I'm not interested in going around in circles with you, Anita, on issues that I never raised or views that you see fit to cast upon me. But, both of you, have a nice day. I'm off of work today, but I'll still be working....so much to do, so little time!

            Always, Anita. Poor Jill. Still trying. I keep trying to find away to make it simple enough for her to understand, but apparently, it is going to be difficult. So, one more time, just for the sake of giving Jill EVERY opportunity: You, Jill, see yourself as the National Scold. That is, you present yourself as being "too good" to take sides, and perceive yourself as taking shots at both. An objective observer of this thread would find that ridiculous. I am honest about what I am. I am a Liberal, in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson. You would be far better accepted if you would be honest too. I agree with Anita; You do bring race into this, and you do that particularly with Anita. It is a very unattractive characteristic. Perhaps you would re think your approach.

                  Wow ...

                  A certain class of professional tax paying working women in Nevada being connected to Meg Whitman? Sure gives them a bad rap.

                  $140 million spent and the Whitman camp is down to this?

                  Just more crap being thrown around...

                  What double standards! Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred, his apparent partner in crime, is relentlessly pursuing Meg Whitman for her allegedly knowingly hiring of an illegal alien to work as her housekeeper. The whole Democrat establishment is in a hyper-tizzy at the prospect of Jerry pulling off a win in November after these juice "revelations" about Whitman. Now a women's group is coming out in support of old Jerry, shoving his outrageous "whore" remarks under the rug. All in the name of a win for Jerry. Tables will not be turned on Jerry due to these outrageous remarks. He will survive because there are too many liberal loons in California to vote for him no matter what he says or does. Luckily people have a little more sense in other parts of the country, where most Democrats governors and candidates for Congress will lose or voted out of office, hopefully never to appear again to bother and upset the public.

                  Yep, notice also the typical stupidity from Wash DC. Napolitano, and the Feds are suing AZ saying they can't enforce Immigration laws...then when asked about the extortionist maid, and if the Feds are going to have her deported...said it would be up to the State of Ca and its voters???? WHAT? Whenever you see this insane Hypocrisy and a Dem standing with thier thumb up thier buttocks...you realize they ALL need to go.

                  BTW a whore does it for money too, and I'd say she sold out to corporate interests when she sent jobs overseas. What a corporate sell out!

                  The leader of the California National Organization of Women was interviewed, endorse Bown, and indicated that it was appropriate to call Meg Whitman a whore.

                  so men, if you do get PO'ed at a woman, is it now proper to use that term to define your opion of that woman?

                    How can some one say she is me having admitted to be practicing witchcraft?

                    "I am you." What a very stupid and laughable statement!!!. She can never be

                    Me or even be anybody else. She is herself with her witchcraft. Let her now not

                    pretend to be “Me” because she wants my support. I am a Christian and do not tolerate witchcraft.

                    Her supporters in the Fox News channel and Republican radio channels initially

                    lied to people that this woman is a Christian because she is Republican.

                    No wonder they do not care about the needy as our Lord Jesus commanded.

                    You will never know what Christianity these Republicans

                      How fascinating to read a lot of these posts. Folks often come to this site with their minds made up, having never even bothered to read the article, and post what they've already decided to say. It's almost graffiti for your party of choice- a tag on a vacant wall, little but a proof of presence- a tag reducing future credibility.

                      Is Brown responsible for this debacle? That's an excellent, if somewhat amoral question. It was, after all, a private conversation. Someone forgot to hang up- and the person at the far end was unprincipled enough to illegally record and then broadcast that private conversation. If you wanted to pillory someone, it would be the scumbag with the recorder, not those who left themselves open to being spied upon- perhaps mistakenly assuming some vestigial honor existed in the people being talked to. Failing to address this is like ignoring the peeping Tom because he took some REALLY GOOD shots and posted them on line.

                      Those joining the hue and cry are merely second hand eavesdroppers looking for sensationalism without responsibility; if anyone ever wanted a demonstration of the depths to which American media was willing to stoop, this was your moment, and I hope you enjoyed it. We just took the Gold Medal for the Ethical Limbo Dancing Demonstration: our entry went so far under that pole that they passed through Satan's Smoking Room and returned with a lit cigar and a hand-written invitation to prove it.

                      California is just so screwed up with the radical liberal socialists in their legislature that it doesn't matter who wins. Arnold tried to solve the states financial problems but the radical Democrats controlling the legislature, the unions, nurses, and teachers just stopped every attempt. Until the population of California come to their senses it is hopeless. California is a write off, just let the homosexual anti religion radical socialist liberal Democrats have it all. Just no federal bailouts for this Democrat destroyed state.

                      If you live in a Red State, we probably help support your economy. Quit flipping out over the idea that we might be taking something back after propping you parasites up for the last fifty years. Show some respect for the 7th largest economy in the world. In fact, I'd love to see you dare to raise your eyes from the propaganda for just five minutes- and rediscover how the middle class made America great instead of sucking up to your destroyers in the vain hope that some scrap might fall to the floor in fiscal parody of the failed "trickle down" economic model you probably still believe in.

                          You must remember, to Jerry Brown the word "Whore" is a title of honor. That is a woman who is capable of selling herself on the open market for whatever the market bares and not just some cheap slut who gives it away freely.

                            "O’Donnell has been dogged by an old appearance on Politically Incorrect where she told host Bill Maher that she had “dabbled in witchcraft.” Quoted from Yahoo! News.

                            So who hasn't dabbled in something, the liberal media only picks out the conservative candidate to investigate and show clips of. When Al Fraken was running for senate two years ago, I never saw any old clips of some of the stupid things he said and done in the past. You never hear the liberal media talk about the papers Chis Coons wrote in collage about being a Marxist. Which would be a worst senator, a witch or a Marxist. I'll take the witch.

                            What Brown's staff said was "inappropriate," Clifford said. But, Clifford said he also found it "interesting" that this recording surfaces just three days before the next Whitman/Brown debate...

                            Inappropriate...???.... is THAT MSNBC's ACCEPTABLE word to describe a totally innocent woman of being a WHORE ???

                            The liberal left has definitely crossed the line with their DISGUSTING terms for people whom they HATE !!!.... They should be sued and imprisoned !!!

                            Would they also think it would be "appropriate" to refer to other women in the political spotlight such as Barbara Boxer, Mrs. Palin, Mrs. Obama, etc... as being WHORES !!!

                            And, as for Mr. Clifford finding it "interesting" that this recording is just now surfacing only 3 days before the debate.... WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE ???...... He should not imply that saying it at an earlier or later time would make it much more "APPROPRIATE" !!!

                            No wonder America is voting conservative.... seeing through the hatred and lies from the liberal leftists is simply so easy.

                            I wonder if Mr. Clifford found it "interesting" that the house keeper issue with Meg Whitman, surfaced 15 months after she was fired for being an illegal with phony documents. And I suppose it was perfectly alright for Gloria Allred not to protect her client as required. The only questions that have been answered in the Nikki Diaz case is that Meg Whitman did nothing wrong. Brown's campaign is only interested in winning at any cost to anyone.

                              First of all she wouldn't be wearing shoes, she would be wearing stiletto heels. Seattle Sue you probably think a snuggie is lingerie. It's no wonder why so many guys from Washington State come down south to get hitched.

                                When Brown was governor of California, he was known as "Governor Moonbeam" because of his far out actions.
