MyDD’s Google Bombing Campaign

It’s almost cute how the Nutroots crowd is openly trying to use nerdy Google-scamming techniques to tilt the mid-term election: MyDD :: Direct Democracy for People-Powered Politics. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Almost.

Some people fake National Guard records. Others promote Google bombs. Same mindset, different day.

Meanwhile, mainstream media is fighting a losing battle trying to promote Nutroots candidate Ned Lamont: Lamont calls Iraq Lieberman’s ‘war of choice’.

Notice how the Associated Press just brushes right past the fact that Lamont is trailing badly in the polls, in an otherwise totally sycophantic piece:

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Trailing in the polls, Democrat Ned Lamont called the Iraq conflict Sen. Joe Lieberman’s “war of choice” and compared his rival to former Republican President Nixon.

Putting a fresh focus on the issue that powered him to victory in August’s Democratic primary, Lamont mentioned Vietnam in criticizing Lieberman, who is running as an independent in his re-election bid.

“Iraq is Joe’s war of choice, and he’s been its strongest and staunchest supporter every step of the way,” Lamont said in a speech Tuesday at the University of Hartford. “And in the greatest act of audacity of all, he is now asking Connecticut voters not just for a fourth term, but to hold him harmless for his role in the most dangerous foreign policy blunder of our generation.”

The criticisms were some of Lamont’s strongest yet of Lieberman.
