Peter King Thinks We're All Bigots

King said the Connecticut primary has no bearing on his re-election race because "fortunately, the Third District is not composed of the left-wing bigots who went after Joe Lieberman."

I and every other Democrat - Connecticut native or otherwise - should demand Lieberman to denounce Peter King for calling Connecticut Democrats bigots. There's no place in politics for this brand of attack and Lieberman should not condone King and his sentiments by refusing to denounce this slur.

I found this quote via Dave Mejias' diary at DailyKos. Mejias is running against King and has said he'll support Lamont as winner of the Democratic primary. (Full disclosure: I am informally advising the Mejias campaign on their blog strategy and have avoided posting on his race. I am writing about him now because of King's reprehensible attack on CT's voters.)
