Moonbats in Blackface

Little Green Footballs ran a story yesterday on a Huffington Post article by Jane Hamsher that denigrates Joe Lieberman. Lieberman, a Senator from Connecticut, is one of the last of the sane Democrats. Because of that, he is fighting his own party for his political life. A leftwinger named Ned Lamont has mounted a strong challenge to Lieberman in the Democrat primary election.

Moonbat Hamsher's otherwise forgettable article was accompanied by a Photoshopped picture of Lieberman in blackface. I assume this was an attempt to cast aspersions on Lieberman's qualifications and not an early observance of black history month (especially since the latter occurs in February).

I find this racial reference ironic, since those two authentic negative stereotypes, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, are supporting Lieberman's opponent.

Was Hamsher (in childhood I once raised hamshers as pets) appealing to ugly racial stereotypes in an effort to insult Lieberman? Hamsher denies it. An AP photo of her below illustrates her response to these charges.

Ms. Hamsher then invited the press corps over to her log cabin for pancakes.
