Boycott The Voters

As you may have heard, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman has proven to be a big obstacle to the current attempts at healthcare “reform”.  So ... yes, you in the back with the baseball cap and mediocre movies?

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Thursday called for a boycott of the state of Connecticut in reaction to Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-Conn.) opposition to key provisions of healthcare reform legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) recently removed the public option and Medicare-buy in proposal, which the centrist Lieberman opposes, from the bill in order to attract centrist votes. Reid needs 60 votes in order to break a Republican filibuster of the bill.

Moore focused his anger on the Connecticut voters who reelected Lieberman in favor of liberal candidate Ned Lamont (D-Conn.) in the 2006 elections. He tweeted:

“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.”

Considering the Moore wants single payer anyway, I’m not sure why he’s upset that Pelosicare is going down in flames.  Surely that clears the path to Bankrupt Medicare for all, no?

How do you boycott a state, anyway, in our inter-connected economy?  Does this mean he won’t be doing speaking engagements at Yale?

PS - Mike’s twitter feed is MMFlint, which is funny since he lives nowhere near Flint.
