Lieberman defends Iraq War(CNN-Wolf)

"Because Saddam was a brutal dictator, there are mass graves and Saddam had plans to dominate the Arab world"

"We saw the Iraq threat through the prism of 9/11" (here he is repeating Paul Wolfowitz word for word like a parrot).

Let's substitute Israel for "the Vatican" and then Lieberman" with "JFK". And let's assume it's 1959-1960.

But this goes to show that Lieberman's religion plays a role in some people disliking him.

..."The war was justified, the pResident just oversold the case and he didn't have to."

F*** YOU JOE!

... he could not convince 7/8th of the world as to its necessity.

Way to spin delusion Joe.

'He is weak on defense and wants to raise taxes on the middle class"
"soft on crime, big spender"
BULLSHIT

LOSERMAN the LIAR

Tax and spend? Dean? Hope everyone that saw this also caught the front page WP piece which turns *that* charge to swiss cheese.

There is but one Democrat at this point who will never receive my vote. Joseph Lieberman has lost my vote forever. If he wins, I will acdtively campaign against his ass.

He didn't support Gore's recount. A vice-presidential candidate is suppose to support the party's presidential nominee on an issue like that.

The war was NOT justified, Joe.

Notice how he didn't even say the word "lie." "The pResident just oversold the case and he didn't have to." Good GAWD. Oversold the case my ASS.

I'd HATE to think it'd come to the point next summer where we'd all have to hold our nose and vote for THAT schmuck. In that case, unfortunately, more people would go Green, and more people would see no reason not to vote for bush, because there's no visible difference between him and Lieberman. It's a guaranteed lose-lose proposition. I hope his campaign stays on the skids. Sooner or later hopefully he'll realize it and put it out of its misery (and ours).

no difference, no difference whatsoever. You'll never make a Lieberlubber outta me, Holy Joe! Ack! :grr: :puke:

JL: Dean is weak on defense.

JL: Dean raises taxes on the middle-class.

The verbal molitovs have resumed...

He's doing a far better job than any Republican ever could.

Is there any way that we can stage a revolt and kick his flabby ass out of the party?

I just despised him before. Now I hate him. And I'm not a Dean supporter. This is just damaging to the Democratic Party.

Grrrrrrrr. I'm furious.

There's your answer.

A war built on lies that not only has caused and is still causing death and misery, but has severely damaged our relationships with other governments and our standing in the world, hurt the effort against Al Qeada, and set a scary precedent of pre-emptive invasion - and its all fine with joe.

I hope he comes in dead last in every primary until he drops out.

But I think a lot of the reason why people don't like him is encapsulated in reply #1 in this thread.

how about you look just a bit higher than reply 1.

could it be that "defends Iraq War"/attack Dean stuff that pisses people off?

NAW. Never.

can we?

Reply #1 basically said that Lieberman should move to Israel if I recall.

"Israel is Joe's wife, while the US is only his Mistress"

Someone complained about it apparently and had it deleted. I dont recall JFK calling for an invasion of Northern Ireland and England. Imagine someone getting strange ideas about "motivations" of neo-cons in the middle east, crazy huh ?

I commend the deletion

I think the spectre of rising anti-semitism among the new left is something that needs to be dealt with head-on, and that simply isn't possible when these anti-semitic posts are deleted. I'd much rather have these posts stand as a constant reminder to those who choose to defend the new left at all costs.

Still, the sight of it here would not be welcome.

Before I agree or disagree, I would like to see it spelled out.

Too bad we can't have at least a hint of what these deleted messages are about. It kind of ruins the natural flow of the thread, n'est-ce pas?

If he should by some twisted trick of fate get the nomination I will stay home.

Quoting Rumsfeld, no less.

Joe, just change parties and make it official. You are a rethug at heart!

makes me hate him even more.

who just doesn't get it.

A jew acting like a republican is NEVER EVER gonna be taken seriously by republicans.

Apparently he's running as a republican, since those are the votes he seems to be going after.

This guy just made my blood boil. What a waffling IDJIT. He said NOTHING but garbage, stood for NOTHING but garbage, and then spewed even more GARBAGE. HEY JOE ever thought of becoming a garbage man?

Fuck off Holy Joe you speak shit because you are FULL of it. The PEOPLE want you because you're strong on defence? Sorry Joe you can't pass go. This ain't American Idol it's reality (you know as in real reality not some game show.)

Throw this ass-hat out the fucking window.

Crikey I hate this smarmy toad.

:kick:

sick on Meet the Press. While he wasn't necessarily supporting the madmonkey*, he was sure supporting his war. He was afraid Iraq would take over the Middle East. With what? Buried airplanes and junk buried under the rosebushes.

He sure trashed Dean, too. I hate him.

These soldiers died for NOTHING.

:kick:

Remember him he was Barry Goldwater's Veep Nominee in 1964.

Lieberman is a little piss ant.

Saddam was only a threat to his own people. The world pretty much castrated Iraq in terms of military power.

Piss off, Lieberman.

I can't believe I ever thought this guy was good or honest.

an Israeli prism. Joe is taking the same position that many of my Jewish friends are...Iraq was a threat to Israel and therefore a threat to world peace. I'm talking about folks that were strong Barak supporters that are taking this position, a very disturbing development.

know Joseph Lieberman (my wife taught his daughters in elementary school) and I cant stand him either. Next time I see him (saw him a couple months back in a restaurant) I will let him have it. It's sick that we have soldiers dieing everyday in Iraq because of lies by Bush and Lieberman supports the bastard pResident. I think if his daughters were in Iraq now and in the military he would have a different opinion. But because of his whacked out politics it's okay for others to drop dead on the battlefield because of Bush lies.

He claims that the war on Iraq was a just war.On what grounds, he would not say. I guess he will say that arab terrorists would be detrred from carrying out terror acts in Israel.On ething he forgets to mention is that the Palestinians are not terrorists, they are carrying out a war of national liberation ( Intifada) against Israel.
It is one of the great achievements of the Jewish lobby within the U.S. to demonize the arabs and to characterize every act of resistance against Israeli occupation a "terrorist"act.

Now here comes Lieberman and the PNAC gang making Israel's never ending wars against just about every arab America's war and then having the gall to call it a just war. In this propaganda war they now allies such as Bush ( an overgrown child with low ego and self esteem bent on seeking revenge for his Dad's defeat), the right wing imperialists (Cheney and Rumsfeld), British imperialist revivalists( Blair, Straw, Hoon) and the ever unctuous Christian crusaders
( Robertson, Falwell, Graham).In this disgraceful charade for world hegemony, the price is being paid by America's poor ( white, black and hispanic) and of course, the innocent Iraqi civilians.
If this was such a moral and just war, why are Israeli soldiers not
patrolling the streets of Baghdad and bearing some of the costs of this war?Would like to hear from Joe on this one.

To me there are only two or three real choices on the democratic side: Dean, Graham ( for President), Clark, Kucinich for VP.
Joe, please spare us and quit our party.We are sick of the despicable role you played in the impeachment of a popular democratic President, we are sick of your cozying up to the
Accounting lobby and help conceal the dimensions of the Enron debacle
which hurt thousands of middle class workers and, now to top it all off you claim this war is just even after all the lies have been exposed.You have not expressed one word of remorse for the dead soldiers and the civilians killed in Iraq.

You are the perfect embodiment of what one of our greatest living writers Gore Vidal has called a "sanctmonious hustler". We will never vote for you and ask that you quit while you are ahead and join the other hustler Zell Miller.

I cant believe the media continues to tell us this guy is popular and he is the favorite choice. I have never heard anyone in the real world say they like him.

Must see

The treacherous McCain-Lieberman partnership has been a major fact of life in American politics since no later than the July 4th weekend of 2001, when the two men gathered at McCain's ranch in Arizona. They met to launch their "Bull Moose" campaign to blackmail the Bush Administration into fully adopting the Anglo-American agenda of "perpetual war,"

Haven't read all the responses but when was that ever an issue?

Yes Saddam was brutal dictator. There are brutal dictators in other countries.

Yes there were mass graves... but when did they die and what were the circumstances? There are mass graves in this country. There are mass graves in Texas and Florida.

Lieberman needs to find where he lost his brain.

If he gets the Nomination I'm going back to the green party. and then leaving the country

DEAN FOR AMERICA

What an A-hole.....what is he, a Republican plant? I think we all need to make our opinions known to the National Democratic Party. They need to know that their constituents are sick of this. We want Democratics not Republicans registered as Democrats...

GO DEAN...The lean, the keen the Dean Machine.
