Rep John Larson halts the LIEberthugs -- "Ned's with us."

[understandinglife]

<clip>It was the Return of the Lieberthugz, Part II.

Yup, you read that right: at the beginning of today's Veterans Day parade in downtown Hartford, Joe smiled and shook Ned's hand, and then quickly sent his folks out to try physically bar Ned from marching with Congressman John Larson and other Democrats who invited him to march. It was one of those moments where all you could think of saying was wow, stay classy Joe Lieberman.

Ned decided not to listen, and jogged around the Lieberman folks while we distracted them, and caught back up to the Democrats. When the Lieberman people again tried to physically remove Ned from the parade, Larson backed them off once and for all telling them simply: "Ned's with us." That could be the bumper sticker slogan of this campaign, as it perfectly sums up how in more and more people's minds, Ned represents standing up for regular people, and Joe represents standing up for the status quo.

I'll be frank: I was a bit nervous about the parade from the get-go because Joe has joined with Vice President Cheney to try to liken Ned and the majority of Connecticut who want change in Iraq to Osama bin Laden fans. But my concerns were allayed as we walked through Hartford - veterans kept coming up to Ned thanking him for having the guts to run in this race, and the guts to stand up and say what needs to be said about the war in Iraq.

Anyone seen Hillary or Bill in CT campaigning for the Democratic Party candidate for US Senate? It's not like they'd have to drive very far.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq .... and, now he willfully provided nuke-making instructions to terrorists -- if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ...

7. No, I hadn't Willy ... LIEbermann is simply disgusting, in every way.

6. Seems clear where Joe is spending his campaign's $380,000 in "petty cash".

I guess good GOONing doesn't come cheap these days.

8. Ned Lamont's campaign was the vanguard of the American peoples' revolt

against Bush's heinous war. Win or lose, he has the patriotic status of Eugene McCarthy, and our deepest thanks. Lot of war profiteers need to keep Lieberman in there fighting for their interests. Lieberman is also no doubt point man to prevent impeachment and to protect top Bushites and war profiteers in potentially devastating House investigations. Lamont can't help that. He did a very courageous thing with this challenge. He may also have saved a lot of lives.

11. Thank you!!

:thumbsup:

And, ya gotta like:

Nice picture of Joe with Republican Nancy Johnson, too. But they weren't campaigning together. They were … uh … swapping chili recipies. :evilgrin: (inserted by me)

Can anyone explain why, in a year when the GOP is struggling to finance all those house races, all their donors have maxed out to Lieberman (to the tune of about $20 million now)? It's awfully important to them that he retain this Senate seat. If that smells funny to you, ...
