Lamont campaign’s new ads against Lieberman call him a “turncoat”
Via AP:
Lamont’s campaign is spending $93,000 this week on a series of statewide television ads that call Lieberman a “turncoat.” One ad suggests that Connecticut residents should wear their coats inside-out to protest Lieberman’s general election campaign.
Lamont predicted the ads will appeal to his base and undecided voters. “It was a humorous look at a guy that’s been a lifelong Democrat who overnight changed his stripes,” he said.
So we go from “subverting the democratic process” to “turncoat” in a matter of a few weeks.
This is what happens when one doesn’t worship at the altar of the Nutroots. Those who don’t must pay the price.
By the way, here are the latest numbers on the race between Lieberman and Lamont.

I saw the commercial. Nothing compared to the stuff they are saying on the left wing blogs, but still pretty vicious. I think being vicious is a losing strategy, but I guess we’ll see real soon.
“Lamont’s campaign is spending $93,000 this week…”
Hmmm, sounds like somebody’s a little worried about Lieberman.
I wonder how well the Press would take a Liebermann ad campaign if it called LaMont a Commie Bastard. Do you think they’d see it as humorous?
I know I’d get a laugh at it! “Truth in Advertising!”
I would love to see a response from Liebermans group as, “Mr. Lamont thinks changing parties from Democrat to Independent is making me a so-called “turncoat”.
But to Mr. Lamont, I say, “What do you do when your own party abandons you?”
Even as a Independent I can can still hold to the values I had as a Democrat, nothing is changed, expect I will no longer be associated with the democrat party that abandoned me.
While I thank Mr. Lamont or his “concern”, I reall think we should concentrate on the issues and not party affiliation.
I would love to see Lieberman hit back like that.
Even democratic strategists have said this was a major mistake by the Lamont campaign. Lieberman still has a large following in Conn. and they feel that this campaign may very well swing in favor of Joe.
We can only hope!
