Today's Lieberman Charge: Hacker Redux?
"The Lieberman campaign should get some grip on reality before they start making baseless charges against our campaign," said Lamont campaign manager Tom Swan. "We had nothing to do with this. We don't condone it or encourage it. We saw this with the hacking accusations -- they continue to make baseless charges."
Swan added that the only name he had heard in relation to the effort to strip Lieberman of his Democratic registration was Henry Lowendorf, a member of the New Haven Peace Council who he says is unaffiliated with the campaign.
We asked Lieberman spokesman Dan Gerstein if he knows anything more than that. We are waiting for his reply.
--Jason Horowitz UPDATE: Dan Gerstein sends along Exhibit A about the Lamont supporters they're accusing of trying to kick Lieberman out of the party, with the following explanatory note:Tom Swan asked for evidence that Lamont supporters were behind today's effort to purge Joe Lieberman from the New Haven Democratic Party rolls. Here is one cite we found from an online radio interview with Henry Lowendorf of the Greater New Haven Peace Council, which we are told was responsible for the complaint to the New Haven registrar. We will send others as we find them.
FURTHER UPDATE: More from Gerstein:
According to a report from the New Haven Independent:Other activists signing Lowendorf's letter to Ferrucci included veteran activists Paul Hodel and Tom Holahan, a former Democratic alderman.
According to this posting on myleftnutmeg.com, Hodel was campaigning on behalf of Lamont in New Haven in July.
Lamont campaign did the same with the "blackface" Joe pictured with Bill Clinton. A major contributor and supporter of Lamont did it. No rebuke, no condemnations. They just say the campaign didn't do it and continue to embrace the perpetrator. Sounds like Lamont campaign is ready to embrace the terrorists too.
that's right, those Lamonties are embracing, let's see (what name would please you best?):
Jihadists, Islamofascists, Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah....
are you really such a simpleton, or do you just play one on the internet?
Excuse me, Snoopwhatever...Please get your facts straight before you display your ignorance in public. Ned Lamont's campaign had nothing to do with the "blackface" Joe issue. If you would do a little research, you will discover that it was posted by an blogger associated with the blog, "Firedoglake.com" and was the sole inspiration of one of the authors, Jane Hamsher. This was cleared up immediately and in case you missed it, it was proven that she is simply a blogger who detests, and understandbly so, Joe Lieberman. She was/is an avid supporter of Lamont but she has no official affiliation with his campaign.
Lieberman lost. Get over it.
By Gerstein's, Lieberman's, and Scoop's logic then I guess Mrs. Fields cookies are also responsible for the stunt to strip lieberman of his Dem ID. I mean, all of those involved do love and support Mrs. Fields cookies right? Therefore Mrs. Fields cookies MUST be responsible for this outrage! I demand that they immediately make these people stop!
The President's approval ratings are at record lows and the democrats decide to eat their own - once again, democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Run the country? I don't think so...
WOW - the smoking gun!
Hodel also uses a babsyitter, who once owned a dog that looks just like one that pooped in my backyard -- I know Lamont was behind it all along.
