Dems Need to Take the Gloves Off With Lieberman--Including Obama

[StuffyJones]

I know all they can do is strip him of his committee positions officially, but the Dems need to take on Lieberman.

Lieberman needs to be ATTACKED (metaphorically of course, not physically) by ALL of the Dem leadership...including Obama in a forceful manner.

He needs to be denounced as egoistical, unethical, disloyal and stupid.

I don't think Obama and the Dems can let anyone associated with the Democratic Party speak on behalf of McCain. It's too big of a deal and with a war and health care there is too much to risk.

1. StuffyJones you are absolutely correct

Joe Lieberwhore has erased any doubt of whose side he is on. ONce he speaks at the Repug convention, the Democratic party at that point must take off of the gloves. Lieberwhore has made his bed let him sleep in it.

Once we have our Democratic President in office not only do they strip him of all of his comittee postions but they neuter him and make his last years in the Senate as miserable as possible for him, so he never forgets the betrayel that he foisted upon the Democratic party.

Welcome to DU!!:hi:

2. Thanks-- Joementum will be made a HUGE deal of regardless, better to attack him first, show spine

Look at the GOP lineup for the convention...Lieberman is their only star attraction. The media will be talking about it for weeks.

3. And...Obama will look weak if he let's him speak without cutting him down

Lieberman forced this on himself. It's obvious the Dems haven't wanted to step on his toes. But he's about to sh#t all over Obama.

4. Obama backed him into a wall and bit off a piece of his ass. Does that count?

5. It's a start but apparantly Lieberwhore is ignoring the warning

he got.

The Repug convention will seal Lieberwhore's fate.

6. That was great, good call... But LIeberman is spitting in Obama's face, O has to hit him

Obama will look like a sissy otherwise. And a Democrat just can't be seen that way. I don't know why we have this need for macho crap...but I think that's ultimately what Kerry failed to do with the Swift-Boaters.

I think the Swift-Boaters were calling him a liar and he needed a more visceral response with real anger. Like, "how dare you question my service!"...

Even if you disagree about Kerry, I think Lieberman is delivering a VERY public insult to Obama that he has GOT to answer with vigor and emotion.

7. Let Lieberman be fed to the Repigs

They will eat him up. We can watch with delight.
