Michael Moore says we should boycott Connecticut, because Liebermann is opposing the public option portion of Reidcare, thus preventing it from moving on to a final vote.
What exactly does it mean to “boycott” a state - Just stop vacationing there? Stop buying CT-made products? I don’t even know what CT sells, let alone how to get those things. Actually, I think I’ll START shopping for CT-made items, like I started shopping at Whole Foods when its president wrote an editorial opposing a public option. And, of course, I’ll continue to boycott Moore’s idiotic, faux jingoistic p.o.c. movies. :)
From thehill.com:
“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.
Lieberman has become the scourge of the left for withholding his vote on healthcare reform due to the inclusion of the public health insurance option and the Medicare buy-in proposals.
There is no provision in the state of Connecticut to recall public officials. “
I bolded that last part because it’s funny that Moore thinks recalling an official is something they even do there. He could’ve checked that fact first, before he reacted. But, we know that’s not his style…

...and how do you recall a Senator?
Gotta love Michael.
Please...his effect is not so strong anymore since his last movie bombed. Who really looks up to him?
All I can think of is the portrayal of him in "Team America" and I about spit my soup.
He looks like he doesn't wear deoderant...and I don't mean in a "chic" "French" way - I mean like, bus stop stank.
It's true, he doesn't pull as much rank as he once did. That healthcare "film" was full of holes. Cuba's health care is better than the U.S.?? Hmm... so why does no one find rafts full of diseased Americans headed down to sunny Coo-ba? Ridiculous.
Recall a senator? I've yet to find good evidence that you can even do that, unless we're talking about federal crimes committed by them... Then again, we all remember Blago, don't we? :)
