Left Wing Fascists
Today is the day when Connecticut Democratic primary voters will decide on whether or not Joe Lieberman or Ned Lamont will be their Senate candidate, and to a certain extent, determine the near-term future of the Democratic Party. I'm pulling for Ned Lamont.
Why? Ned Lamont, a proven liar (yes, anyone who pals around with Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake, let's her film his campaign commercials starring lfty netroots superstar Kos, and then states, "I don't know anything about the blogs." is a liar, pure and simple) is precisely the kind of extremist that exposes the far left for the opportunistic, back-stabbing lynch mob that they so transparently are. An example of their viciousness comes from none other than Lanny Davis, former special counsel to President Clinton, in the WSJ OpinionJournal (via Instapundit):This is the face of the rabid netroots that I'd like to see exposed to America's apolitical and moderate voters, those swing voters that decide elections. Take the mask off the beast, and show America the rotten, seething, vicious core that the totalitarian Left represents. Show America a radical left wing that shares the political goals of Hamas and Hezbollah in a defeated American military, a left wing that seeks to lynch American soldiers without the benefit of a trial, that seeks to make America subservient, docile, and weak. This is face of "liberalism" that I want the world to see, it all of its repulsive glory. So please, Connecticut, vote for Ned Lamont. It's just what Dr. Rove ordered.
A friend of mine just returned from Connecticut, where he had spoken on several occasions on behalf of Joe Lieberman. He happens to be a liberal antiwar Democrat, just as I am. He is also a lawyer. He told me that within a day of a Lamont event--where he asked the candidate some critical questions--some of his clients were blitzed with emails attacking him and threatening boycotts of their products if they did not drop him as their attorney. He has actually decided not to return to Connecticut for the primary today; he is fearful for his physical safety.

I'm not sure what will happen though. Joe was closing the "poll" gap pretty quickly for the last few days. I think more of the moderates are waking up. We'll see. I still think Joe will win the general election.

BTW - one of the leftist nuts hacked into Lieberman's site yesterday and took it down. But - I know - they all play so fair and ethically. Yea - right

Oh, and Specter, Lieberman's site went down because he was only spending a whopping $15.99 a month for his hosting. Deal.

New here eh? Welcome. Not scared at all - I've said all along Joe will win in the November election. Doesn't that worry you? It should. He's no friend of Demoncrats anymore. But there are lots and lots of Republicans in CT.
Site was still hacked and official investigation ongoing.
