Commenting on the Connecticut Democratic primary race between businessman Ned Lamont and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol claimed that Democrats who oppose Lieberman do so because Lieberman is "unashamedly pro-American," while right-wing pundit Ann Coulter asserted that those favoring Lamont as Connecticut's U.S. senatorial candidate are "anti-American." In his column for the August 14 issue of The Weekly Standard (posted on The Weekly Standard's website on August 4), Kristol wrote that "[w]hat drives so many Democrats crazy about Lieberman is not simply his support for the Iraq war. It's that he's unashamedly pro-American." Similarly, on the August 9 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, Coulter asserted that Lamont's victory in the Connecticut primary illustrates that "the anti-American wing" of the Democratic Party is "absolutely in the ascendancy right now."

As Media Matters for America recently noted, CNN congressional correspondent Dana Bash twice uncritically reported that Republicans planned to cast the victory by Lamont over Lieberman as evidence that Democrats are "defeatist" and "weak on security" because of Lamont's criticism of Lieberman's support for the Iraq war. Bash further reported that Republicans were "already licking their chops" over Lamont's victory, because they believe it shows that the Democratic Party is "being taken over by the left wing of their party. And from their perspective, that's not good for the country."

Hey! What happened to the 7 homeless eccentrics in Ninja costumes they arrested in Miami a few weeks ago. They were 'terra'-ist plotters I thought.
Lamont supporters no doubt.
But don't worry 'Bad Boy' Billy Kristol will protect you with his imaginary hand gun.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it. There's a solid majority of Americans who oppose the current occupation of Iraq. So beware the desparate whining of fascists like Coulter & Kristol.
