Personal Political Attacks on Sen. Lieberman

Sen. Joe Lieberman's blog was inundated with unbelievably nasty personal attacks, forcing the campaign to turn off the function. The comments came from supporters of Ned Lamont, who is running against Lieberman in Connecticut, but disavows any involvement. Nonetheless, I somehow think less of Lamont for it. You can see a representative sample of the comments here.

I think it's time for candidates to be pro-active about this (after all, this happens regularly, whether it's blogs or other type of media). Sending out Rules of Engagement to their supporters would be a good start.
