the hatred of Bush is as grossly wrong as the hatred of Clinton was. Joe L

[Hamlette]

so says Joe Lieberman.

If the war and his position on Schiavo isn't enough, mull that quote. (I missed this first go around, apparently the link was posted on Kos and others last March.)

So, having sex with an intern really IS as bad to Joe as all of Bush's failures and lies.

1. joe apparently does not know the difference between right and wrong and

is unaware of the concept of justice or responsiblity.

[eleny]

2. Your subject header would make a great slogan for any Dem vs Repub

I can see it as a bumper sticker. Republicans don't know right from wrong.

[TahitiNut]

10. (Hmmmm...)

The GOP is just as blind to the wrongs of the right as they are to the rights of the wronged!

Not bad. :shrug:

[eleny]

14. I'm working on one right now

Keeping it very simple since it'll be a b/sticker.
"Republicans Don't Know Right From Wrong"

I figure that'll get under skins pretty fast. If they key my car, they'll prove to themselves what schmucks they can be.

[TahitiNut]

28. Well, there really isn't any difference between far right and dead wrong.

:evilgrin:

[Bobbieo]

7. On top of the lies and corruption in the * administration

is the total lack of organization. That bunch can't do anything right!!!

[RufusEarl]

3. This speaks volumes about Joe,

and his lack of understanding of the problem that over half of the americans people have with this war. The Big Dog had a 60% approvals rating at the end of his second term, i dare say the Decider will stay in the 30's.

[BOSSHOG]

8. And he will stay in the 30's

only because there is a segment of our society who are either too ignorant or too proud to admit they were wrong. Proud, ignorant people, the base of the gop.

[RufusEarl]

25. I'm still holding out for 20%, by the end of the year!

And i'll be working hard, to help the Decider make this monumental plateau.

[knowbody0]

4. joe's off his nut

certifiable

[BOSSHOG]

5. Sorry Joe you are wrong, wrong, wrong

The hatred of clinton was a phenomenon planned and orchestrated by a very active and well financed right wing disinformation machine fed by a very ignorant and easily swayed base of carbon life forms. The hatred of bush is based on what he has done since he has been president. (I hate the sonofabitch for stuff he did before he was president) but I'll limit the study to his selected years. bush intentionally lied to the American People, that lie resulting in 10's of thousands of deaths, Clinton killed his own sperm cells. No contest joe.

And I thank you hamlette. I have been sitting out the lieberman situation but thanks to this post, joe has lost me for good. Not that it will matter since I'm not a connecticut resident but my opinion on this guy has solidified.

[TahitiNut]

6. Bullshit, Joe. A blowjob doesn't make one a war crimnal.

How fucking blind can one get? :grr:

[Greybnk48]

35. You said, word for word, what I was going to say TahitiNut

he must be living in another universe with Rummy.

[hfojvt]

39. perhaps Joe would say

that we only think he is a war criminal because we hate him. It is interesting that the right wing was very concerned about civilian casualties and infrastructure damage during Clinton's Kosovo campaign. Paul Harvey used to say that we were making enemies by doing that, and when Clinton was not convicted he quoted some woman writing from Nebraska "so long America, you were great while you lasted". Ted Rall also called Clinton a war criminal.

In a sense Joe is right, the right wing whipped up hatred of Clinton because they did not like his policies. Our hatred of Bush is mostly based not only on policies which harm America, in our view, but also on the dishonest way Bush tries to sell his policies. Funny with all the fires in California that nobody is talking about Bush's "Healthy Forests Initiative" and how it apparently did not work, except in its true purpose - making profits for the logging industry. There is no problem so bad in this country that Bush cannot make it worse by using it as an excuse to despoil the environment, take away civil rights, and enrich his base - "the haves and the have mores".

[TahitiNut]

42. I say to my right-wing family members: "I'd agree if I believed that."

What I've seen repeatedly is people who begin with a bias and then feed it with falsehoods and half-truths, using such lies to feed their animosities. When, however, one begins with facts and a steadfast perspective of balance, one can distinguish between "I disagree" and "He's a war criminal." In this regime's case, they're actually war criminals. The facts lead to the animosity instead of the bias causing happy acceptance of falsehoods taken as 'facts' excusing a rush to animosity. It's all in the intellectual honesty - honesty with one's self being the key.

"Good people" do "bad things" based on false beliefs. So has it ever been from Caligula to Son of Sam to Andrea Yates.

[enuffs_enuffs]

9. Thanks Joe!

For proving time and time again why your a DINO and are suffering ever waning support.

Pls Joe... continue to choke on yer' own garbage!

[itzamirakul]

11. Did anybody ask Lieberman what it feels like to have to crawl to

Clinton to get his support after dissing him so badly during Monica?

Well, Monica serviced the front and Lieberman is kissing the rear.

[demosincebirth]

17. ...and Bill, is man enough to forgive the Lieberman slight and

come back and support him as a Dem.

[itzamirakul]

24. Bill is doing as he is told by his bosses...

the Lobby...

[demosincebirth]

26. I read your link, Didn't see Bill's name mentioned.

[Hamlette]

32. better link, he says it at the end, the whole interview is disturbing

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/03/22.html#a7623

This is the radio interview he talks about in the article. Joe says it near the end. I backed it up and listened a few times to make sure I got the quote correctly. He says some other outrageous things in the interview too.

[Beelzebud]

12. He would know. Didn't he vote to impeach?

[Codeblue]

13. I'm glad I don't live in Connecticut

I don't want to be anywhere near this guy. I'd vote for nearly anyone over this freak.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Does anyone pay attention to what Joe says any more?

Why anybody ever listened to his sermons at any time is beyond me.

[Bill McBlueState]

16. way to repeat the right-wing meme, Joe

Calling the legitimate political grievances we have with the current administration "hatred" is playing right into their hands. It suggests that our reaction to Bush's policies is standard partisan complaining, and not a justified response to their terrible policies.

[WI_DEM]

18. The right wing hated Clinton long before Monica

and they drove it where the media looked into every unwarranted induendo about Clinton. It was eight years of unrelenting negative coverage from the MSM--compared with the relative softball way the media has treated Bush and his worse crimes.

[QuestionAll...]

19. what a pathetic little man.

I'm certainly no fanatical Bill fan, but for Joe to even compare the two and their evil deeds.

He must be put out of our misery.

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Amazing, considering he stood with the Cons BOTH TIMES!!!

On both occasions, he seeks to criticize Democrats. With Clinton, he stood up and spoke out against Clinton (Democrat) and with the Cons. With Bush...well, he stands with Bush and criticizes Democrats.

Get a CLUE, Joe!

[MyNameGoesHere]

21. I agree Joe,

now STFU and lose the election. I hate * because of the tyranny he commits against my soul everyday. If he just got a blowjob i would not care.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Good political strategy...

way to bring the progressives and liberals back to the fold, Joe. :wtf:

[Skidmore]

23. I will party when Joe goes down...err....errrr...loses that election.

If ever a politician deserves to be defeated, it is Backstabbin' Joe.

[Prophet 451]

27. Lemme get this straight

Getting a blowjob off an intern while cheating on one's wife (admittedly, not good but mainly because of the adultery) is equal to two wars, coming up on three thousand dead squaddies, an economy in the toilet, an international reputation rapidly approaching the U-bend as a psychotic bully with a superiority complex, rampant corruption and social policies led by religious fanatics?

Wow. Dunno what Joe's smoking but someone send me a bag of it!

[Hubert Flottz]

29. HEEEEEEEY Joe!

Can't get the girls or the votes...that's gotta' hurt!

[warrens]

30. Yeah, Clinton got us involved in an endless war

Bankrupted the middle class, exploded the deficit by giving away trillions to the ultra-wealthy, trashed the healthcare system, and all the other crimes he committed. Buh-bye Joe. This ain't one issue anymore. Your Israel-love is blinding you to fascism. Just so long as they kiss Likud butt, they can do whatever else they want, right Joe?

[Initech]

31. I think this is the reason Bush's hatred is justified:

Because he's an insane religious whackjob who panders to his religious whackjob base, which in turn sees Bush as infalliable. That scares the shit out of me.

[Bake]

33. I think Joe is TRYING to lose.

Every single thing he says seems calculated to piss off the last remaining Democrat who still supports him. That's just CRAZY for him to say a thing like that.

I guess being the "Conscience of the Senate" has been too heavy a load for him.

Bake

[City Lights]

34. Well that about does it for me.

Joementum has officially lost his marbles. :crazy:

[Hamlette]

40. his position on Schiavo did it for me, this just makes me madder

I'm sorry I'm not in CT to vote against him but I have sent Lamont money. What pisses me off is that you never see stuff like this in the MSM. To the pundits, this is all just about Bush haters and the war.

Hardly.

I bit my tongue when he ran as VP. And I did see his charm and humor. But he is too pious and out of touch to be in office.

[MadHound]

36. Joe's lost it

If he can't tell the difference between a blow job and death due to an illegal, immoral war, well then, he doesn't deserve the job of dogcatcher, much less Senator.

[lpbk2713]

37. And I guess Joe thinks we were all wrong about Zell Miller.

Poor misunderstood Zell.

[KurtNYC]

38. Lieberman 41% Lamont 51%

Primary on August 8th. After that Lieberman will have lots of time to ponder such questions; hopefully no one will give ink to his answers.

[Hamlette]

43. the pathetic thing is Joe said this when Lamont was polling like 10%

Joe should be a republican, he is so "entitled". How DARE anyone say anything bad about me let alone run against me.

If you hold an unpopular position you better be able to defend it. If you can't, get yourself over to the GOP where that is respected as are bullies.

I've hated Joe since he beat Lowell, my favorite republican. Lowell, for those of you who don't remember, wanted to stop being so silly about Cuba. Lifting travel restrictions etc. Joe got money from CANF and beat Weiker in large part on that issue.

Joe also wanted the us to keep Elian here in the US. He is on the wrong side of so many issues but to listen to the press you'd think we are against him only because of his war vote.

[Mandate My Ass]

41. Joe was only too eager to point out Clinton's "moral failings"

and fueled the flames being directed at a member of his own party. But it's the justified disgust with the war criminal and his cabal that gets Joe's knickers in a twist. Get bent, Joe.
