Just a couple of things today:

· Brendan Loy has a look at the latest "accusations" against Joe Lieberman: Lieberman lied? Uh, nope. (and the post and comments are interesting beside, in shining a little light once again on the distortions of certain of Dick Cheney's past remarks):

...This is precisely the sort of tactic that makes me so incredibly hostile to the entire anti-Lieberman movement. As I’ve said repeatedly, if Connecticut voters feel so strongly about Lieberman’s stance on the war that they want to vote against him on that basis alone, I have no problem with that, even though I disagree. But instead of running an honest campaign on the issue(s), Lamont and his allies — and before anyone tries to distance Kos from Ned, let’s recall that they appeared in a campaign ad together — have consistently smeared Lieberman’s character and distorted his record, painting him as a liar, a power-hungry scoundrel, a friend of Bush, a DINO, a traitor to his party, a conservative in liberal’s clothing, and so forth, even though none of these things are factually correct. (And I’m talking before the primary, before Lieberman bolted the party, as well as after. These lies are a big part of the reason Lieberman lost the primary and thus wound up running as an independent in the first place.)...

· Al Sharpton is accusing Joe Lieberman of...wait for it...borderline racism for attempting to associate him (Sharpton) with Lamont's campaign. Kinda weird on a couple of levels don't you think?

Al Sharpton should know all about being a lying race-baiter, after all it was he who incited a riot in Harlem against the "Diamond Merchants" causing a Jewish Owned store to be burned down and its owner dying inside of it. The Jewish guy had been running that store from the Harlem location for over 40 years.
