I sincerely apologize to anyone who was genuinely offended by the choice of images accompanying my blog post today on .&nbsp; It’s also important to note that I do not, nor have I ever worked for Ned Lamont’s campaign.&nbsp; However, at their request, I removed the image earlier today.Unfortunately, Senator Lieberman’s campaign has used this in attempt to hurt Ned and score political points, mustering their own faux indignation in attempt to further distract from the issues important to the voters of Connecticut.&nbsp;For weeks, Senator Lieberman has attempted to woo African Americans by pretending to be someone he clearly is not.&nbsp; Meanwhile, his campaign has liberally that have the "paid for by" Joe’s campaign disclaimer at the bottom, lying to the press about their intended recipients.But for some reason, more questions have been asked about me, a blogger.&nbsp; With so much at stake this election, is the choice of images used by a mere supporter really newsworthy?To the extent that rightwing Republicans like are trying to harm Ned Lamont with this ginned up controversy by "defending" his opponent with these absurd charges of racism — I regret it and I invite them to take it up with the person who did it, namely me. I answer to nobody and I operate entirely on my own volition.&nbsp; If you have a problem with something I’ve written, you know where to find me.But perhaps it’s also time people started asking why the Republicans suddenly feel they have a dog in this fight in the first place.&nbsp; First David Horowitz, then the and now the rightwing blogosphere are all championing a particular Democrat in a Democratic primary.&nbsp; Perhaps they have come to admire what seem to be ever increasing Rovian tactics, such as that flyer accusing Lamont of being a racist (which inspired the satirical graphic in the first place.) Whatever it is, it certainly should give Connecticut voters pause as they consider whether they are really voting for a Democrat in the Democratic primary on August 8th.&nbsp;Shadowproof is a financially independent news organization.
