CNN anchor Chuck Roberts calls Ned Lamont "the al Qaeda candidate"

Based on absolutely nothing, zero evidence, no sources, he referred to Lamont as "the al Qaeda candidate."

Arianna has a scathing report on the entire thing, and she's absolutely right. What Roberts did was despicable. He used Bush's old canard of quoting the omnipresent "some people" when in reality NOBODY has said any such thing. It's what you say when you simply want to make shit up.

Media Matters is demanding that Roberts be disciplined.
