I can't defend the people who put up, then took down, something so terribly racist and definitely beyond the vein of parody... but what is served by saying that you would rather be rid of all Democrats? Wouldn't it be better to simply state your position, back it up with some reasonable, logically sound premise, then carry on an intelligent debate, rather than simply point fingers and call someone the equivalent of a "doody head"? (As a disclaimer, I live in Connecticut and haven't agreed with Lieberman for a long time, stemming back from his very conservative views on censorship. Then again, I'd rather candidates be evaluated on their stand on the issues, not purile name-calling and hiding behind party lines.)
