Let the (Online) Smear Campaigns Begin!
ImpeachPAC has unveiled the progressive blogosphere's first attack ad.
In the closely-watched Democratic primary battle between incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman and his progressive challenger Ned Lamont, attack ads have found their way onto the internet.
IPAC has issued both a written internet ad and a YouTube video asserting that Lieberman, along with other Republican officials, has interests in keeping extremists (such as professed Neo-Nazi Robert Lee West) in the military.
Some viewers have expressed discontent with the style of the ad:
Wallymar: I'm all for Ted Lamont winning this race with Lieberman and there are many ways to make a good supporting case. This is not one of them and I doubt that Ted Lamont would approve of this message.
And so the ever so popular smear campaign finds its way into the internet world. I anticipate this will be the first of many to come in the 2006 race.
