Michael Moore Calls for Connecticut Boycott

mikeConstroversial  (and socialist) filmaker Micheal Moore announced that he is determined to boycott the state of Connecticut due to Senator Joe Lieberman's position on the healthcare bill. 

Even though Majority Leader Harry Reid made some changes within the bill to attract more "centrist" votes, Senator Lieberman still opposes it.

Moore is very upset at the fact that the citizens of Connecticut voted for Lieberman over Democratic Candidate Ned Lamont in the 2006 November  elections.

Moore stated in his Twitter: "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."

What does that even mean?  What does boycotting an area of land entail exactly?

Michael and I agree - we would both love to have Lieberman out of office.

Lieberman was voted in by a majority of unprincipled Republicans and Democrats alike.  The loyal Republicans voted for the Republican candidate.  The loyal Democrats voted for Ned Lamont, the Democrat candidate.  Everyone else voted for Lieberman, the incumbent.

Looks like his boycott of proper grammar and spelling is also well under way.

There's another reason to boycott Connecticut, and it's an even bigger reason- Chris Dodd.

Why does Moore insist on boycotting Connecticut? Boycotting Connecticut would most likely include boycotting products that are from Connecticut.

Great idea, Mr. Moore. Let's boycott products from Connecticut that are produced by the lower to middle classes that way they lose their jobs and suffer even more.

Ah, the classic "we are the state" fallacy... when the government does something, by definition it's what the people wanted!
