Michael Moore calls for boycott of Connecticut By Jordan Fabian - 12/16/09 01:04 PM ET

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.) recerntly 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.

LOL! A lot of FReepers have been bashing Joe lately but he sure has stirred up the moonbats into a frenzy and caused them to want to kill the bill too, for socialist reasons of course, but a dead bad bill is still a dead bad bill.

I hope that all of your hotel rooms are clean because you’re going to need them.

I can think of many reasons to boycott Connecticut. This is not one of them.

I promise I will not go to Connecticut for at least three weeks (until after New Year. Of course I had no intention to go there anyway but now I feel like I belong.). Does that work?

If I call for a boycott of New Mexico will that keep the fat one away (and I don't mean Santa)?

Fat Bastard needs to do another crock-u-mentary to impress his galary. He must be getting less Liberal revenue/worship these days.

Rumor has it that Moore smells bad. Doesn’t bathe much. Maybe Conn. insisted he bathe before entering?

I believe I already boycott Connecticut. They don’t make, guns, ammo, vehicles, gasoline, cows or fish there do they? Those and cable are about all I spend money on these days.

I don’t believe there’s any recall allowed there.

I’m one of the Freepers who bashed Joe yesterday after the word came out that his price had been met. After hearing the moonbats meltdown Im reconsidering my feelings towards him. Could it be he knew this was going to happen?
