The Campaign of Good Manners

Both Lieberman and Lamont are being heckled, according to the Hartford Courant:

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman’s musical nightmare, the singing hecklers who have twice disrupted his public appearances, returned Friday to lend a surreal note to the closing days of a long, eventful campaign season.

Like Whiffenpoofs from Hell, the followers of Lyndon H. LaRouche surrounded Lieberman at a campaign stop, harassing him in harmony.

Hartford police arrested four of the singers after they pelted the senator and his supporters with fliers that tried to link Lieberman to Dick Cheney, William F. Buckley Jr. and fascism.

Across town, Lieberman campaign workers surrounded Ned Lamont when he made a stop at a seniors’ housing complex across the street from Lieberman headquarters. They kept shouting until Lamont retreated to his campaign bus.
