Fox News Acting as Lieberman's Field Staff?

Fox News: Lieberman's Field Staff?
Just heard this story that came from one of our volunteers in Milford… apparently, he was the only person from any campaign pollstanding at a polling place in Milford earlier this morning. All of a sudden, two or three out-of-state Fox News vans pull up and unload a bunch of Lieberman lawn signs, placed right in front of the Lamont signs that had already been planted. And, what do you know, after a few more minutes, who shows up but Joe himself, ready for the cameras.

Who needs a field organization (or an advance team) when you’ve got Fox?

We've come an awfully long way since the Fairness Doctrine.

2. Here is my fervent wish for Lieberman:

I wish not only for him to lose and lose big, but also for him to be unable to have a career as a lobbyist because he burnt so many bridges that no one on the Hill will take his calls after the election.

3. That say's it all people! Fuck you Shmoe Lie and Fuck you Fox

[Voltaire269]

4. We need photos of this as its happening, or we shall be labeled left wing nuts

yes stuff like this sucks, but we need video and or photos of this as its happening or it means nothing!

[The Count]

5. The smoke & mirrors campaign - like W had in 2004

Can they steal it in CT or you have levers all over the state?

[LTR]

6. HOLY SHIT!!!

:wow:

Can it get more blatant than this? Do these people have no shame?

BTW: Isn't it illegal to prop up all those campaign signs outside a polling place?

[LynzM]

8. No, not illegal, just a distance requirement

Some places it's at least 50 feet, some at least 75, on upward. Depends on the state, maybe on the town/district, etc.

And yeah, they have nO shame. Beating up Lamont supporters? No shame.

7. the bush* family sending in their loyal retainers to aid another loyal retainer.

We should not be surprised.

[badgerpup]

17. ...loyal until Joe gets caught with his pants down...

either figuratively or literally.
Then they barely knew the guy...he'll be just one more of the many schmucks who wander Captitol Hill sucking up to George Bush and his so-far-as-yet unbusted BFF...:sarcasm:

[Raster]

18. bushco* can count on Holy Joe to deliver when it counts. That's all that

matters. There is a REASON so much rethuglican money and influence went to Holy Joe. The rethuglican high command put more into Holy Joe than they did their own guy.

[progressoid]

9. Holy Shit.

That's all. Just, holy shit.

[AllexxisF1]

10. ...

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

[civildisoBDence]

11. Wish I'd been there...

to pull up the Lamong signs and replace them right in front of the Lieberman signs.

Fight fire with fire.

And when your opposition won't play by the rules, fight fire with dynamite.

16. you and me both civildisoBDence ......... that one might have been worth

getting arrested for.

:hurts:

[KoKo]

12. That's so disgusting and if only there were photos this could be a

big issue for us. Without photo's or another witness they will get away with it. Thanks for posting this, though. Who else might Fox be helping if they are hauling signs for photo ops of Lieberman.

[happydreams]

13. Wow! Faux helping out a democrat for a change....

((((hee, hee.)))

[David Zephyr]

14. Fox anchors pointed out the "Lieberman" signs by the road while wating for Joe to arrive.

I was watching Imus who was also waiting for Joe to arrive to vote, switched over to Fox and saw the camera angle from the road side with the Lieberman signs in the foreground and the polling place in the distance. Fox anchors pointed out the Lieberman signs to the audience. You could not see any Lamont signs.

Your story fills in the blanks.

Fox, they make up the news for you.

[H2O Man]

15. They have adopted him

as one of their own. The guy is a neoliberal, which is just another species of neoconservative.
