Lieberman's Likely Win Will Be Embarrassing for Democrats

Michael Moore and left-wing bloggers were all atwitter last week when they could gloat over Ned Lamont beating Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary. The flagship of the far left on the Internet, the Daily Kos, demanded Lieberman be kicked off all committees in the Senate immediately and all Democrats be forced to vow to support Lamont immediately.

Michael Moore wrote an open letter to Democrats who voted for the war. Either recant your vote, disavow your pro-war stance, or else. He specifically threatened Hillary Clinton. Look at what happened to Lieberman they crowed. We targeted him because of his war vote and we can target you. Be afraid, be very afraid. I called them the Pol Pots of the far left, the Khmer Rouge. I said they wanted a mountain of skulls. People said I was being excessive. Perhaps, but no more excessive that the braying lefties screeching at any war supporters, I thought. Then today, news that Michael Moore and the Daily Kos and the others may have spoken too soon.

The Quinnipiac poll says Connecticut voters actually favor Lieberman in the general election — running as an independent — over Democrat Lamont by 11 points. Among Republicans, Lieberman has a 62-point lead over Lamont. And among independents, Lieberman has a 22-point lead over Lamont.

This poll director said: "Senator Lieberman's support among Republicans is nothing short of amazing. It more than offsets what he has lost among Democrats." This is going to be embarrassing for Democrats this fall. Lieberman was supposed to go away quietly, chastised by his party for wanting to regime change Saddam. Instead it looks like he's going to beat the anti-war Democrat.

1. Yea! If John Gibson says it, then it must NOT be true.

Ergo, Lamont will win.

:hi:

2. Ugh! That picture gives me the creeps.

[LostInAnomie]

3. Gibson is an embarrASSment to the human race.

Fuck him and LIEberman.

[billbradley]

29. Gibson

}( Gibson is simply an ass. I hope Joe chokes on his dinner

[maxsolomon]

4. they don't even know what they mean by Far Left

DailyKos is a communist? an anarcho syndicalist?

[formernaderite]

11. that is true and you can blame

Clinton for pushing the party and politics in general to the right. That's why the press has free reign in calling Howard Dean far left...and now Ned Lamont. Neither are very far left at all.

[Turbineguy]

5. Don't expect these people

to go away quietly. And don't expect them to ever tell the truth.

[hobbit709]

6. Would you buy a used car from this twit

If so, I'll sell you a bridge cheap-I'll even throw in a couple of monuments.

[Skittles]

7. fuck you, Gibson

bush whore

[swimmernsecretsea]

12. Short, and to the point.

I like it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. What do you mean by that?

LOL

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. Democrats = Khmer Rouge. Whatever. Now, the hyperbole is getting

into the upper levels of sublime.

MKJ

[bigwillq]

9. Lamont is going to win a close one.

I just feel it. :bounce:

[ribrepin]

10. Joe is no longer a Democrat

and now he is in charge of his own party. When he steps up to the mike @ the 2008 Republican convention to give his Zell Miller speech, he can't claim to be a Democrat.

[City Lights]

14. Gawd he gives me the creeps.

:puke:

[speedoo]

15. John Gibson is a stupid twit. nt

[sendero]

16. This douchebag..

... will let everything he said fall down the memory hole come November. The fact that Lamont is polling behind at this moment doesn't mean much, the election is not tomorrow.

[59millionmorons]

17. Dear John

Dear John

No matter what happens this seat will still be won by a Democrat. So in the end you still lose. hah hah hah

[Seabiscuit]

18. Gibson has nothing better to do than try to out-Hannity Sean Hannity.

Nauseating.

[EndElectoral]

19. THe GOP abandoning their own candidate is hugely embarassing.

[wisteria]

20. John Crow and Fox News better not crow to soon. It isn't over

till it is over.

[WCGreen]

21. Just a quick question...

Has this guy ever gotten laid...

I mean look at him....

Jeeeezzz...

I think even Ann Coulter would pass on that....

[zulchzulu]

22. Fox News! Thank you for supporting Loserman! Really, thank you!!!!!

If there was ever a reason to vote against Loserman in CT, it's the backing of Fox News...no better way to make someone who was thinking about voting for Loserman to change their mind!

Brilliant, Fox News! Please keep turning more potential Lieberman supporters OFF with your endorsement FROM HELL.!!!

I always knew Fox News was stupid, but this is just precious.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

23. Moore was hardly present in the race

yet this weird-looking normal amur'can can't help but sneer another refernece to him in by digging up a three-yea-old email

[Superman Returns]

24. ummmmmmmmm

Don't ever post that picture again. :)

[snowbear]

25. WHat is even MORE EMBARRASING...

...is that someone here actually watches that GARBAGE!

Now THAT is embarrassing!

[snowbear]

26. delete-dupe

[Spirochete]

27. You just had to

post that picture of the buck-toothed retard, didn't you? :puke:
He's so full of shit.

[underpants]

28. Be nice

that only happens when he takes the wrong chemicals

[Spirochete]

31. Who, Gibson

or Human Torch. The latter is excused, and I'm trying to find him the RIGHT chemicals. hehe
The former can go Cheney himself.

[billbradley]

30. Hannity says (yuk)

Sean Hannity said today that the TERRORISTS are just waiting for a Democratic win in 2006 and 2008 . Will these scare tactics ever end????

Its time for TRUTH in broadcasting and the FAIRNESS Doctrine

[rniel]

32. Isn't that the Gopher from caddyshack

Looks just like John Gibson

[Cha]

33. Don't count your fucking chickenshithawks

yet, gibson. Your boy bush is the embarrassment to the world.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

34. Pretty much everything he says is true.

Although I don't agree with his spin on events, his factual claims are basically accurate. Lieberman is likely to beat Lamont, and it will be embarrasing for the anti-war left if he does.
