Joe Lieberman to attend Beck rally
June 7, 2011
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) plans to attend a Glenn Beck rally in Jerusalem.

"The idea of the 'Restoring Courage' gathering in Jerusalem is an important idea and a very constructive one at a very important time for Israel," Lieberman said in a video posted on the right wing talk show provocatuer's website this week. "It's not against anybody or any group, it's to stand with Israel at a time when a lot of the rest of the world is attempting to delegitimize Israel."

The Jerusalem rally is scheduled for Aug. 20.

Beck last summer drew major crowds to Washington for a rally to "restore honor."

Lieberman and Beck have been close since the talk show host moved to Connecticut in the 1990s. Lieberman was the first Jew to appear on a national presidential ticket when Al Gore selected him as his running mate in 2000,

1. Good grief, what a scum bucket pair

I would be hard pressed to decide which was worse.

[MikeMc]

20. Don't judge too quick, maybe Breitbart and Palin will attend

[RandomThoughts]

2. What does the state of Israel have to do with the teachings of the Jewish faith?

On a side note.

Why when I spelt Isreal that way for years, someone posted on this web site, that they didn't like when someone uses the Biblical spelling of Isreal.

Can someone explain that?

ah Is ra el
or Is re al.

That might explain it.

12. That makes no sense

Israel is a reasonable enough transliteration of the Hebrew name (although Yisrael is closer). Isreal isn't; it's just a misspelling.

[RandomThoughts]

16. That was not the question I was asking.

Shakespeare knows what I am talking about.


A rose is a rose by any other name.

[DavidDvorkin]

21. Well, that's random.

[Chef Eric]

35. Hey RandomThoughts, I can misspell your name too.

For example, if I rearrange the letters, I get:
Rand Ghost Mouth

Hmmmm.

[MisterP]

3. who needs Bob Novak or Mona Charen "Dems" like Droopy Dog?

he needs to read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Dilling

[wordpix]

4. all I can say is, whatta way for Joe to end his Senate career, with Blech

[sakabatou]

5. Ugh

Joe, my grandfather who sat next to you in shul, is spinning in his grave.

7. Joe Liberman to attend Beck rally

I am embarrassed to say I voted for him, what a mistake. he is a total embarrassment to one of the original 13 colonies. He certainly does not represent the state of CT and is showing his true colors now since he is retiring from the senate

[Jefferson23]

8. So this is about an undivided Jerusalem.

This is Liberman's idea of restoring courage, pairing up with Beck.

"Beck, who is ardently pro-Israel, nonetheless angered an array of Jewish groups recently for likening the quest for "social justice" to Nazism and for falsely insinuating that liberal philanthropist and Holocaust survivor George Soros was a Nazi collaborator."

[muntrv]

9. Ick! Joe and Glenn teabagging!!

[madrchsod]

10. joe is getting a bit touched in the head...

why would any jew think that these christian racists give a shit about them? it was`t all that long ago that jews were just above black people in the minds of these christian racists.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Isn't he a little old for this?

[Grassy Knoll]

29. Don't believe everything that you breathe.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. Extra security for that is going to cost the Israeli taxpayers a bundle

Hmm. Beck and Lieberman at the same time.

[tomm2thumbs]

14. Ha! Beck deserves every last, annoying, pathetic, droning minute of his attention

stick together you two - you'll move mountains (of Bullsh*t)

[DesertFlower]

15. they deserve each other.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

17. Isn't Beck a believer in the rapture apocalypse

fantasy?

[City Lights]

18. A match made in heaven!

:puke:

[MikeMc]

19. This is a SHOCKER..... But, sincerely, thanks for posting, kp.

I am a fan of your posts, and I didnae know this, 'til you told me.

Beck restores america's honor. Palin restores america's history, Beck restores america & israel's courage. Then bush restores america's brain, I guess.

Boy, do the repugs suck. Including the 'Conn. for Liebermann' repugs.

[ClarkUSA]

22. I hated Bush II POTUS selection, but this makes me glad Joementum never became Gore's VP.

[No Elephants]

39. What about Gore's naming Lieberman as his running mate?

DLC heaven

[cosmicone]

23. Will they both sob in sync and share a kleenex? n/t

[still_one]

24. and al gore choose that idiot as a running mate? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! /nt

[oNobodyo]

26. Actually no...

LIEberman was forced on him by the powers that be within the party under the theory that Gore was too far left and they needed to balance him out with LIEberman...

[still_one]

44. and Gore didn't have a mind of his own, or allowed his handlers to control him. That doesn't say

much for him?

[Egnever]

45. Do you seriously think someone makes it to presidential candidate

with a mind of their own? You cant possibly reach that level without making commitments to many people. You can not run for president on your own you need help and sometimes that help comes with strings attached.

[still_one]

49. Yes I do. As the most inane example, it was mccain who choose palin, not his advisors /nt

27. Shouldn't you be part of a group, to rally it?

What is the Mormon population of Israel, anyways?:eyes:

[russspeakeasy]

[BREMPRO]

30. showing his true colors.. looney toons.. that's all folks!

[Brother Buzz]

31. So, I guess the Palin bus driving gig fell through

[AndyTiedye]

32. The Connecticut Boll Weevil

[Larkspur]

33. Sounds like Lieberman is beginning his Swan Song Tour

or is it the Good Riddance Tour?

[freshwest]

34. He has been extorting progressives for years with his caucusing. Amazed CT kept him.

It was important for having a technical majority after years of solid GOP rule but he did everything he could to sabotage the party.

[krabigirl]

36. what a puke-worthy event!

[Blasphemer]

38. At this point, I'm willing to believe Joe has Dementia.... nt

[No Elephants]

40. Pub Lite showing its true colors.

[BlueStater]

41. Wow. Just when I thought this turd couldn't sink any lower, he comes out and surprises me.

Bravo, Joe.

[fascisthunter]

42. still think there are no moles in our party?

he was one that was exposed...

[hifiguy]

43. Why doesn't someone give Moldy Joe

an enema.

You could bury him in a matchbox afterwards.

47. Glenn Beck's Anti-Semitic Attacks

by Michelle Goldberg
... If you know this history, you’ll understand why Glenn Beck’s two-part “exposé” on George Soros, whom Beck calls “The Puppet Master,” was so shocking, even by Beck’s degraded standards. The program, which aired Tuesday and Wednesday, was a symphony of anti-Semitic dog-whistles. Nothing like it has ever been on American television before ...

48. More on Glenn Beck's new favorite anti-Semitic author, Elizabeth Dilling

June 04, 2010 3:46 pm ET by Simon Maloy

As I noted earlier, Glenn Beck this morning had some kind words for Elizabeth Dilling's 1934 anti-communist book, The Red Network, saying: "This is a book -- and I'm a getting a ton of these -- from people who were doing what we're doing now. We now are documenting who all of these people are. Well, there were Americans in the first 50 years of this nation that took this seriously, and they documented it." As I also noted earlier, had Beck taken just a few moments to Google Elizabeth Dilling, he would have discovered that she was one of the more prolific anti-Semites of the mid-20th century.

It just so happens that Dilling has her own entry in The Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right ...
