Michael Moore says (on Twitter):

[Redstone]

"People of Connecticut: What have u done 2 this country? We hold u responsible. Start recall of Lieberman 2day or we'll boycott your state."

I say to Michael Moore (on DU): Go fuck yourself, Mikey. You and "we" ("we" who, exactly?) are going to "boycott my state?" I'd enjoy that, so please do so.

Get over yourself, fathead. And stop telling me what to do, if you don't mind.

1. Says the man who bought a Honda to punish GM.

Nothing like kicking people when they're down.

[Redstone]

2. Ooh, I bet that REALLY hurt GM. I'm getting damn sick of Fatmouth Moore.

Redstone

[Kalyke]

49. You probably put some union member out of a job, though.

[Mira]

3. Must you really be so rude to MMoore? He is not asking for an ad hominem attack

by you, he is asking for you to re-call Lieberman. If that is possible, I would like to join him in the request.

[Redstone]

5. We can't DO a fucking recall in Connecticut. He should know that before

shooting off his mouth like that.

Redstone

[LiberalAndProud]

33. Senators (Federal office holders) are not subject to state recall.

It doesn't matter which state. MMoore should know this.

[WeDidIt]

23. If he knew WTF he was talking about, people would be less rude.

It's unconstitutional for states to recall federal officials.

Can't be done by any state in the Union.

Moore's a fucking idiot bloviating about shit he knows nothing about.

[KakistocracyHater]

32. how did they recall Gray Davis in California then? Repeat that there.

pull him out.

[brendan120678]

42. Gov. Davis was not a Federal officer...

he was governor of a State. The State constitution of California allows State officials to be recalled.
Connecticut doesn't have any recall procedures in its Constitution at all - Local, State or Federal.

[WeDidIt]

43. Gray Davis was GOVERNOR of California, not a US Senator and not a US Congressman

So that's how they could recall him.

California CANNOT recall US Senators or US Congressmen. The power to remove these officials rests solely within those respective bodies via a two-thirds vote to expel.

There is NO OTHER WAY to remove a sitting US Senator or US Congressperson.

[cyclezealot]

37. Go to the Moore website. He said

Boycott Connecticut business' that have supported Joe Lieberman.. I see nothing wrong with that and could well support such.. The business that gave us Lieberman.. Betcha some include the insurance giants.. that I would love to do.. I'd burn their policies right in front of their glass towers in Hartford.. Have not had such fun since many of us burnt our draft cards..

[brendan120678]

41. Yeah...boycott some of the largest employers in the state...

make them go broke so our unemployment soars even higher.

That'll teach us people of Connecticut what dumb-fucks we are.

[cyclezealot]

46. Should you work for Aetna.

That is not my problem.. I am sure Aetna gives big time to Lieberman. We've been screwed over by them too many times.. If you are one of their employees, hope its not you. I've read many Big Insurance companies are not even insuring their own employees. Should a Connecticut company not be a Lieberman financial backer, then they should not be boycotted.

[Redstone]

47. Amen. Excellent point.

Redstone

[crazyjoe]

50. I thought the voters gave us Lieberman? Do businesses vote in Conecticut?

[ZombieHorde]

4. If you would enjoy the boycott why are you upset he in encaging in the boycott?

Your OP does not make any sense.

[Redstone]

29. Because he's being such an asshole.

Redstone

[Frank Cannon]

34. Any more of an asshole...

than your douchebag Senator?

[MrMickeysMom]

6. I'm pretty sure he didn't say that...

... but AWFULLY sure you have something stuck in your paw.

Do something useful like write your Senators about the shitty excuse for health care reform... you'll feel better in a while.

[AllentownJake]

7. You know what is odd

People signing post attacking progressives.

[Redstone]

9. You now what is odd? A "progressive" insulting the people of a Democratic state.

He asks "What have u done 2 this country?"

What we've done FOR this country is to elect a WHOLE fucking bunch of Democratic people.

And now he blames US for the country's troubles? Fuck him.

Redstone

[AllentownJake]

11. I have a good friend from CT

She is ashamed of Lieberman, as after next year, with the way things are going, I'm going to be apologizing for Toomey.

[Redstone]

14. Are you from Allentown, PA? If so, let me ask you about the Allentown Fair:

Have you been there lately? If so, is that hilarious guy who works the "dunk tank" still around?

Funniest guy I've ever seen. Makes Don Rickles look like a first-grader.

PS: Yes, I'm embarrassed by Senator L, but there's not a damnn thing I can do about that. We don't have a recall law in this state.

Redstone

[AllentownJake]

17. I'm not sure

The past two years I've been there I've been stuck in the Lehigh County Democratic Party tent next to an annoying organ and puppet show. Could be worse, the GOP camp out at the pig races. We tell people they hang out with the swine.

[rebel with a cause]

31. lieberman is independent and was elected over a democrat.

I blame the repubs for his election, but he is yours whether you like it or not. We had one some years back (a repub) and I cringed every time I heard his name. :shrug:

As for Moore, sometimes what he says is helpful and sometimes it is just his own rantings. Like with anyone else, I listen to what I think is important and ignore the rest.

[Matariki]

8. Micheal Moore's dirty old insoles are better than your crappy post

sorry. but it's the truth.

[Redstone]

12. Oh yeah, like we (of one of the bluest states there is) are responsible for

the country's problems. We elect Democrat after Democrat, but NOOOO, that's not GOOD enough for Saint Michael.

Redstone

[ShamelessHussy]

21. isn't that war mongering fool shilling for the Ins. companies from 'your' state?

then, yes... 'your' state is responsible for our country's problems.

[Redstone]

25. Oh, and the states that elected Republicans are NOT responsible?

Redstone

[Libertas1776]

10. Linky please n/t

[Libertas1776]

15. Thanks

If he was smart, he would have Googled and found out that Conn is not one of the 18 state's that can recall its senator.

[Redstone]

16. My point exactly. We Democrats and independents did NOT elect him; the

Republicans did after stabbing their own candidate in the back.

Redstone

[Redstone]

28. It's also prominently featured on his website: michaelmoore.com

[JNelson6563]

18. Sometimes MM really doesn't know what he is talking about.

I went to a Dem thing in the county he currently lives in a few years back. He took the floor (of course,that man loooooooves to soapbox). He then went on to bitch about the State House Dem caucus and a few other things and it was stunning to me how little he knew of how things he was commenting on really worked.

He should stick to things he does know about.

[Redstone]

30. But not knowing the facts doesn't slow him down, as you've seen.

Redstone

[Forkboy]

19. Love the guy, but this kind of stuff is essentially collective punishment.

And as such, it's a no go for me.

[ShamelessHussy]

20. same 2 u

:hi:

[WeDidIt]

22. Moore is an idiot

Senators cannot be recalled by any state.

It's unconstitutional.

[and-justice-for-all]

24. Thanks Mike, I agree with you as well...nt

[Redstone]

26. Since you agree with him, how exactly do you propose we recall him, when

we don't have a law that allows us to do so?

Any suggestions?

Redstone

[WeDidIt]

44. Even if you had a law to allow it, you couldn't do it

Only the Senate can expel a Senator via a two-thirds vote. That is a power reserved to the Senate. No state has the power to remove a Senator. It's unconstitutional.

[and-justice-for-all]

65. I agree with the context of Moore's sentiment on the matter

and that residents of Connecticut should be strongly encouraged to make sure LIEberman is not elected again.

[cyclezealot]

36. I agree with Moore to the extent a state's constituents should

lobby their senator.. Connecticut residents could help the country by making life difficult for Lieberman.. Are they.?

[Redstone]

27. And, of course, I can't tell him that to his (virtual) face, because you have to

register to leave a comment on his website.

Kinda chickenshit, that.

Redstone

[Behind the Aegis]

35. He has some good things to say on occasion. This would not be such an occasion.

It exposes his ignorance and his lack of understanding of the political process of CT,as well as, the current debacle that is the HCR.

[Spider Jerusalem]

38. Moore is a self-righteous and ignorant twit.

As well as a moron, who should probably learn that recall isn't something that Connecticut OR the US Senate has a provision for.

[SpiralHawk]

39. Go pound nutmeg, Redstone

What have you Quintehticutters done to America with Lieberman?

[harun]

40. Go email Moore, why you bring this bone headed crap here?

[Richardo]

51. 'Twas ever thus.

He's an attention-whoring manipulative blowhard, but since he's a lefty, he gets a pass.

[ima_sinnic]

53. wow it's easy to see who the small-d "democrats" are on this board

I seem to recall nearly unanimous approval for such efforts as Sicko and latest, Capitalism--but now that the corpos are under attack, the same crew that's been trolling here "hates" him.

And what have YOU done?

[Richardo]

55. I'm not allowed to dislike Moore? I've failed your purity test? I must not be a Democrat?

Woe is me. :cry:

I'm no recent nay-sayer. My disdain for Moore goes back to 'Roger and Me'. I find him manipulative and misleading and self-serving. I don't respect that from either side of the political spectrum.

If he were a right winger and used those tactics everyone on this board would hate him. He gets a pass because he's a lefty.

[ima_sinnic]

56. oh, whatever. you just sound bitter about "lefties" & that's pretty weird

for a "lefty board."

[Redstone]

59. "the crew that's been trolling here?" Richardo is NO troll. Nor am I. Thank you

for the gratuitous insult, though.

Redstone

[Richardo]

62. Thanks bud.

:pals:

[Lex]

52. "stop telling me what to do"

LOL.

[KatyMan]

54. Now you know what it's like for Texans

We put up with this kind of shit all the time.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

57. OK.

I will hereby pledge I will never spend any of my tourist money vacationing in Connecticut.

[Redstone]

58. Good. One less car on the roads.

Redstone

[Electric Monk]

60. Get over yourself, fathead. And stop telling Michael Moore what to do, if you don't mind.

[Redstone]

63. I'm not telling him to do anything. And I'm not trying to rally some fictional

"troops" to stage some fictional (and idiotic) "boycott."

Redstone

[Shagbark Hickory]

61. The biggest UNREC ever! If it weren't for MM, we wouldn't even be talking about healthcare right now

[Redstone]

64. Yeah, sure. Was his success in making that happen because he called for

a "boycott" of a different blue state? And threatened the citizens thereof? And DEMANDED that they "recall" a senator, which CAN'T BE DONE?

Which state would that have been?

His ego has overwhelmed him and driven every bit of sense out of his brain.

Redstone

[Shagbark Hickory]

66. He's trying to get lazy americans to demand change. But no lets sit around our computers and bitch

[Geek_Girl]

67. I'm boycotting your state
