Wes Clark to Joe: Stop demonizing your opponents!

Just received an email newsletter from Wesley Clark. As other dem leaders he is endorsing Lamont for the general election. And he is doing it with strong words:

You see, despite what Joe Lieberman believes, invading Iraq and diverting our attention away from Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden is not being strong on national security.  Blind allegiance to George W. Bush and his failed "stay the course" strategy is not being strong on national security.  And no, Senator Lieberman, no matter how you demonize your opponents, there is no "antisecurity wing" of the Democratic Party.

[...]

Because too much is at stake with our troubles abroad and at home, we cannot play games this Election Day.  That's why I call on all loyal Democrats to join me in urging Senator Lieberman to drop his bid for the Senate as an Independent and endorse the duly nominated Democrat.

We should thank him for his service and invite him to stay active, or even run again someday, but as a party we cannot let Joe Lieberman be this year's Ralph Nader.

I would have wished, the general had taken sides BEFORE the primary. But he lays out very nicely that Lieberman is about to betray the Democratic Party and that he cant be allowed to do this...
