First, Billion Dollar Cheney says that the voters in Connecticut who supported Ned Lamont might encourage “the al Qaida types who want to break the will of the American people,” and Cheney quite rightly is repudiated for being the scumbag that he is.Then “Holy Joe” Lieberman, who is supposedly such a nice guy, takes his cue from Cheney and states that Ned Lamont’s plan for Iraq “would strengthen terrorists,” and Lieberman is taken to task also.
On top of that, CNN anchor Chuck Roberts recently referred to Lamont as “the al Qaida candidate,” and Arianna Huffington quite properly eviscerates him (post is updated from yesterday).
Update: Chuck Roberts is a class act. Good for him.
Today, conservative propagandists Glenn McCoy and Cal Thomas did their part. McCoy penned a cartoon that appeared in the Inquirer of Democratic donkeys tossing Lieberman into some kind of sludge pit since Lieberman chose to speak as a voice of dissent in the “lockstep” Democratic party (too funny), and Thomas (in the Bucks County Courier Times, of course, which also ran a story stating that high gas prices are because of "demand") referred to those who supported Lamont as “Taliban Democrats” (and by the way, I have found no information to indicate whether or not either McCoy or Thomas served in the military).
And finally (is enough ever enough with these people?), Don Imus on his radio show has said that he plans to ban Democrats who support Ned Lamont (so much for Imus and Chris Matthews supposedly “taking a hard stance against Dubya’s foreign policy”).
(Imus is a fossil as far as I’m concerned; why anyone would take him seriously is an insoluble mystery to me…maybe because he proved his “cred” with the wingers by attacking President Clinton at the White House press dinner in 1996. James Wolcott destroyed him a little while ago, and that should have been that, but the freepers will always find a voice somewhere in our supposedly “liberal” media, as we know.)
I suppose we can expect this nonsense to continue until November, but this is all instructive as far as I’m concerned. It shows our bought-and-paid-for corporate media in all of its utter repugnance, and it illustrates the scope of the battle we must fight against our adversaries to advocate for the truth as much as we possibly can.

Imus is a sexist pig who should've lost his job after he and his gang of thugs sexually harassed Contessa Brewer on the air a while back. Why all the Washington types fall all over themselves trying to get on his program is totally beyond my understanding.
I also wonder why somebody doesn't do some investigating of that "cancer ranch" thing he and his wife are running. I guess it's nice to have friends in high places.
Howard absolutely "cleans his clock" when it comes to ratings anyway, even for satellite radio (which is the way of the future that will make Imus less and less relevant).
