TPM Reader MM says the anti-Joe campaign is getting out of hand …
C’mon Josh, quit accepting the standards of the disinfo crowd, when did Lieberman say he would be campaigning as both independent and democrat at the same time? He said that if he lost the democratic primary, he would run as an independent.. but that’s not quite the same thing. Lieberman isn’t my favorite guy in the world, but this propaganda campaign is getting a bit pathetic. Back in the day, Lieberman was activist and fighting to end Jim Crow, the propagandists from outside CT who are waging war against him can’t even be bothered to care about the issues of poverty and class.. for Christ’s sake, some of them who post on TPM are against the labor movement and rationales for class inequity.
If you’re looking for parallels between extremes, start looking at some of those in your own backyard.
I’m not really sure where MM is coming from. The only way you ‘run’ to get on the ballot as an Independent is to collect signatures, which he’s doing. So I’m not sure there’s anything unfair or incorrect about what I said below.
