LieberThugs at work
They started out at the street, holding signs and chanting, a clot of 25 to 30 thick-necked Young Republican types. Then they moved up the driveway to the Senior Center and blocked the bus. They formed a noisy, chanting mob around the bus door and blocked anyone from getting out. Eventually Ned and some others managed to push out through the crowd, but the noise only increased and the LieberYouth pressed tighter, chanting so that the news cameras and microphones couldn't pick up a word Ned was saying.
It was an ugly and intense little scene. The few seniors who had come outside were rushed back in by the Percival Smith staff. I did manage to ask one bright-eyed little senior lady what she thought of all this, but she just pointed at her temple and twirled her finger in the universal sign for "crazy" and then she was whisked away by a staffer.

So this is what it has come down to, Mr. Lieberman? Sending your thugs out to physically intimidate old people? Nice. Classy.

Right out of the Rove playbook:

1. Bastards.
Somebody really needs to teach them some manners.

This is not "free speech," it's abuse.

3. If the campaign was wise enough or lucky enough to document
this on video, I think it would be the perfect basis for a last lap effort to show what LIEberman and his supporters really stand for.

4. agreed, tech,....
it would make one hell of a last minute TV commercial!

And, as an added bonus, it's TRUE! Using "TRUTH" is still "fair game" last time I checked.....
