1. Tone and context are everything.

Lamont is being misrepresented.

2. Old news. The full text of the email was posted in GD Politics.

Here is a link to the full email text:

3. Old news. When you read the ENTIRE letter from Lamont, it is clear

that he is politely asking Lieberman to back the fuck off.

Sorry if you've missed all the times this nonsense has been already been flogged by DU's resident DLCers -- you're a few days late for this particular bandwagon.

4. No...

The reporter didn't read the entire f--king email and as such Lamont's feelings from 1998 are being very badly misrepresented by this report.

5. You have it all wrong. Here's the actual e-mail-

Looks like a polite, backhanded way of saying Joe did the wrong thing, even if Ned might have agreed with him.

And what's with Sunset Joe publicizing a constituent's letter anyway? Isn't some level of privacy implied? AND if it was sent to Joe's govt site, isn't its use for campaign purposes illegal?

9. Thank you for providing the context.

It helps to able to see the entire statement.

6. The hypocrisy is all Loserman's and his mouthpieces..

and those who are pertetuating this gross misrepresentation.

Read LaMont's email, and then you should consider editing your post.

7. A reminder on the rules.

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

This post looks like you're advocating for Lieberman and against Democratic nominee Lamont.

I did no such thing

I pointed out Lamont said one thing then and another now, I didn't say anything about supporting Lieberman

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. And yet you haven't responded to the utter debunking of this nonsense

There's something hypocritical going on, alright...

:eyes:

11. No, you referred to a badly written and biased news story.

The full LaMont e-mail has been provided for you to read. Have you read it yet?
