Josh Mandel Calls Sherrod Brown 'Liar' In Debate

seems the new right wing golden boy was trying to emulate the radical disrespectful blow hard MO of the majority of republican members and it didn't work for him. 
The Republican nominee for an Ohio U.S. Senate seat, state Treasurer Josh Mandel, was booed at the second debate Thursday evening after telling his Democratic opponent, Sen. Sherrod Brown, to "calm down."
The contentious, hour-long debate also featured Mandel calling Brown "a liar." The "calm down" outburst came after Brown exceeded his time limit answering a question on trade practices, prompting a warning from the moderator and an apology from Brown. Mandel pounced.
"Calm down, Senator, calm down," Mandel said, bringing boos from the audience.
Mandel earlier accused Brown of being "a liar" and of telling the "lie of the year" -- a Brown attack on Mandel's record as state treasurer. Brown criticized Mandel's job performance, including reports that he had skipped 14 months of state Board of Deposit meetings, which he chairs, and said Mandel is more interested in running for the next job. Mandel's record as treasurer, including Board of Deposit attendance andhis hiring practices, have dominated the Senate race.
"He is hardly someone who will go to Washington and be 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,'" Brown said, citing the legendary Frank Capra movie.
 the right wing vitriol is becoming deluded by overkill, even their fall back "the other side does it too", i defy them to quote a progressive politician that says stuff on the radical level that they do, and fraught with lies and innuendo. i keep saying they do the dirt then try to shovel it on the Pres.'s shoes
