Lieberman says Connecticut voters who oppose him have forgotten 9/11

[cal04]

How dare he.

Now Joe Lieberman is the only Democrat who apparently cares about national security. Just ask him.
Lieberman said that this race is about whether the Democratic Party “will accept a diversity of opinion” on national security. He defined himself as a Democrat in the mold of John F. Kennedy, Harry S Truman and Bill Clinton – that is, one with “a real socially progressive record, and strong on national security.”

He said a victory for Lamont will send a message to the country: “In the Democratic Party, there’s no room for strong-on-security Dems.” He said that would be disastrous for the Democrats. “You can’t win in this country,” he said, “unless you assure people" that you aren’t going to compromise on national security. He said he has backed the war on terror because he never forgets about the “radical Islamic terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 and want to do it again.”
Oh, so folks who are unhappy with Lieberman are soft on national security and don't remember September 11.

What a self-serving, selfish, egotistical piece of Republican trash this man has become. So Joe Lieberman is claiming that everything is going great in Iraq not because he's out of touch, not because he has a seemingly inquenchable desire to pander to George Bush and defend him at all costs. Oh no. Joe Lieberman says that Iraq is going great because HE remembers September 11 and YOU don't. Because he is strong on national defense and YOU aren't.

[McCamy Taylor]

1. Has he no shame?

[The Backlash Cometh]

54. That argument is only going to make things worse for him.

He's out of touch, and needs a new reality. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. Well, I think he's a DINO and...

I remember 9-11 so well that I start crying every time I see the WTC movie trailer , because I remember the people I lost on 9-11. So much for his theory.

[Cha]

66. May they rest

in Peace!

Who's advising joe on his Demogoguery..bush handlers?

[Richard Steele]

3. Seriously, Joe: go fuck yourself, you assholish arch-douche.

[tridim]

21. Nobody has forgotton 9/11 and nobody ever will

I freaking hate that bullshit line.

[bananarepublican]

38. Don't go comparing yourself to JFK on my watch... PUNK!

I seriously agree with your sentiment here Mr Steele.

[Richard Steele]

41. Welcome to DU, bananarepublican! nm

[unhappycamper]

46. Come on now,

tell me how you really feel. Don't hold back.

[MadMaddie]

4. That * comment should make up any CT voters mind...

unbelievable....he is fucking desperate now....despicable.....so now he is saying any Dem that is against the War is soft on Terrorism....CT wake up he just proved that he needs his ass kicked out of the seat....

[Imagevision]

80. Sounds like Liberman is taking talking points/advice from Rove...

[bluethruandthru]

5. That's right Joe...

Iraq was a HUGE threat to our national security! We showed them, right? :sarcasm:

[neoblues]

6. He Truly Has Sunk to New Lows...

and, consider just HOW LOW I considered him to be, that is amazing!

[Nikki Stone 1]

7. Cheap shot, worthy of the neocons

Very disappointing.

[BushOut06]

8. Sean Hannity is writing his speeches now?

I swear, that sounds like something that Hammity would say almost word-for-word.

[Scurrilous]

11. Sounds like something...

...Daryl Worley would sing.

[Change has come]

23. . . .

:rofl: :applause:

[Wilms]

9. Pathetic n/t

[Punkingal]

10. I could never stand him...

Ever since he stood in the Senate and blathered on with his self-righteous bullshit about Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Nothing he would say or do could surprise me. I can't wait for tomorrow night when his sanctimonious ass loses his Senate seat.

[Justice Is Comin]

12. If he had a moral

it would take him a year to remember where he left it.

[TrueFunkSoldier]

13. Lamont should be all over this...

...he should make it clear that it is Zell LIEberman who has forgotten 911, since the deaths of over 3,000 people have yet to be avenged. 911 has NOTHING to do with Iraq. Lamont should come right back at LIEberman about this distortion. He is desperate and has taken a page right out of the Rovian playbook.

Lamont needs to be fighting back HARD!!!!!!

[MzNov]

14. You are no JFK to be sure

but Lamont, now there's a Bobby Kennedy democrat. He is truly awesome and CT needs him, the country needs him. Lieberman will become a Republican, I'll bet my last dollar on it, because that's the only choice he'll have left. He truly is not fooling the intelligent CT voters, and they will show that they will not be insulted.

Nedrenaline!

:bounce:

[bananarepublican]

39. Ms. November... you beat me to the punch. I should have made my earlier...

... post under yours. Sorry! I agree with your post 100+%.

P.S. Lieberman will - over the next few years - morph into (Z)ie(l)berman.

[DanCa]

15. Joe keeps screwing Joe

You know am a big tent party kinda guy. I was on the fence about him until he started slamming Lamont during the cspan debates. Joe this is what got you into trouble, it was more than your voting record. It was your constant pandering to the right wing and your continued use of right wing talking points that got you into trouble. The party didn't leave you Joe, you left the party.

[blonndee]

16. "The party didn't leave you Joe, you left the party."

Right on!

[AnnieBW]

17. Okay...

He's definitely going to jump ship and become a Repug. He's starting to use "9/11" and "terra" as a panacea.

[Atman]

18. What is "socially progressive" about acting like a conservative war hawk?

I don't get your terminology, Joe. If what you mean is that you are being a self-centered jackass, then you're right...we have no room for you in the party. Joe, dammit, you should have listened to the people who voted for you BEFORE you got to this point. It's too late, pally. You're done.

[Liberal_Dog]

19. Here's My Reaction

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[yourout]

20. Joe has forgotten what it is to be a Dem.

Or maybe he never knew.

At any rate Joe deserted the Dems......they did not desert him.

[Swamp Rat]

[tnlefty]

65. LOL!

That's the best post I've seen in a while! Thanks for the laugh :thumbsup:

[Generic Other]

73. Who is Lieberman's speech writer? Rove?

Did he once make this same speech in front of a pig farm with Laura Bush at his side? Cause I'm almost positive I've heard it before!

:puke:

[Swamp Rat]

77. Or Frum

[senseandsensibility]

24. Is lamont receiving any air time?

Is he appearing on any national shows or cable shows? I haven't read any threads about them if he has, but this %##@@%$$ needs to be countered. Obviously, all the news shows are bending over backwards to give their pet, Joey, airtime. Are they actually freezing lamont out?

[tulsakatz]

29. I haven't seen Lamont on any national shows.....

...but plenty of them are talking about it!

Tonight on Hardball, there were 3 journalists on. 2 said Lieberman would lose and 1 said he wasn't going to make a prediction. One of the 2 who said Lieberman would lose was E J Dionne. And when the guy said he wouldn't make a prediction, Dionne said he thought he was being optimistic because every other journalist he has talked to has predicted a Lamont win.

I expect they will want to interview Lamont after he wins.........and I can't wait until tomorrow night!!

[senseandsensibility]

30. Thanks!

I still think it's terrible that they're not allowing Lamont on the shows. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked, though.

[guinivere]

25. Well, he's officially a bush-bot.

He's got some nerve saying he's a JFK or a Bill Clinton. Dream on, bush-bot.

[DemonFighterLives]

33. I don't know why, but that got me

:rofl:

GFY joey, I'll take my chances with the dems. and Lamont!

[Guaranteed]

26. This is not what you tell Democrats if you're

trying to convince them of your loyalty.

[B Calm]

27. No Joe we haven't forgotten. We think the Bush Crime Family did it!

[cgrindley]

49. No, *we* don't

A really freaking disturbing fringe of DU'ers apparently think that 9/11 was some sort of right wing plot, but the majority of us do not think that way.

PS we still hate Bush and his pals

[Clark2008]

75. Freakish distrubing fringe?

Because it was all too convenient?
Because EVERYONE on the 9/11 Commission had a vested interest in seeing that the outcome of their report supported the "official" version?
Because steel doesn't melt at the temperatures ascribed to the jet fuel (which mostly burned outside the buildings upon impact) and the office materials that burned inside the buildings?
Because no other building of similar construction has crashed in its own footprint without the help of controlled-demolition dynamite sticks?
Because jets weren't immediately scrambled since there were convenient war games that day?
Because newspapers in other countries have interviewed and spoken with the so-called dead terrorists?

Honestly, you may believe the official conspiracy theory and that's your right, but you don't have to allege that those who don't are "freakish," "disturbing" or "fringe." Personally, I find it harder to believe a lot of the load of crap that the government sold us that day than some of the information put out by learned physics scholars and actual witnesses.

I'm not sure it was a right-wing plot, but I'm almost nearly positive that the right-wing government, who was warned - and we know they were warned - didn't do jack to stop it.

[B Calm]

78. A lot of us think it was an inside job and a few don't!

[tulsakatz]

28. that does it!

Now that he's used the 9/11 excuse.....it's official! He's become a Republican!!

[Lindacooks]

31. Right out of KKKarl's playbook.

9/11!!! Terror!!! Duck!!! Oh, did we mention 9/11!!!

[fishwax]

32. still parroting those right wing talking points

this election isn't about whether democrats will accept someone who cares about national security, it's about whether democrats will support someone who continues to echo right-wing rhetoric about those who oppose the war. Since 9/11--and especially since the iraq war started--lieberman has echoed the rw assertion that criticism of the president equates to hurting the war on terror and hurting america.

Democrats believe in national security. We can even (grudgingly) accept someone who has supported the iraq war (witness our last nominee for president). But someone who vocally supports the bullshit white house assertion that those who ain't with "him" are against america has no place in the democratic leadership.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

34. I had totally forgotten 9-11!!!

Thanks, Joe, for reminding me...

[flyarm]

35. fuck you joe..and if you had done your job joe we would know who

killed my co-workers! you f$#king sick f$#k!

you motherf%$#@!$$%..facsist!!!!!!!!!

i want you out of my party and now is not soon enough you fucekr!

i will never forget 9/11 you prick!

and i will never forget you kissing the ass of the f$#@ker who was and is complicit in my co-workers murder!

you sick pathetic prick!

56. If I could recommend a specific post, I would this one...bravo

[LeahD]

36. May you go down without a life preserver in arm's reach, Joe. n/t

[mmonk]

37. The 9/11 card. No further proof needed, he's a bush

clone as far as his foreign policy goes and anyone who uses fear and the tactics of neocon idealogues to govern a nation is garbage in my book. May he be crushed in the primary tomorrow. The democratic party needs more of a "Clean Break" from bush and the Cheney neocons because if it doesn't seek that break, it won't exist much longer.

[Skittles]

40. he really is a f***ing republican

he can go to hell

[2008]

42. bye bye asshole

you can not question the President's decisions for free now

the Dems aren't going to pay you for that anymore

[donheld]

43. Is Karl Rove running his campaign?`

Wouldn't surprise me.

[Lerkfish]

57. Isn't it obvious?

rove's fingerprints are all over his campaign, and Joe's lipprints are all over Bush's ass.

[0rganism]

44. A set-up to ensure that his replacement is a republican, eh?

Yeppers, he's going to run as a spoiler, and his big "point" is going to be how weak the Dems are on defense issues.

Then, when Lamont loses due to the 3-way split favoring the republican, Lieberman will be on all the talk shows spouting off about how he was a moderate, and couldn't stand aside while the "far left" tries to take over the Democratic party.

And he'll be paid fantastically well for being the next Zell Miller.

45. Illegal wars aren't security, you dumbfuck.

He is a Republican, for sure.

52. ....

HANNITY: Last question. If you ever want me to do anything, for you and your re-election, I think we ought to have Conservatives for Lieberman, a big fundraiser in Connecticut, and if I could ever do that, I'd make it the biggest blowout celebration ever.

LIEBERMAN: Thanks, pal. You're a great guy. It would just be fun to be with you. My wife, my daughters, my sons...

HANNITY: I don't know why they like me.

LIEBERMAN: You know, you're... well, you're a straight talker, that's one thing they like.

HANNITY: Alright, Senator.

LIEBERMAN: And you're a good to their... husband and father, so how could they not like you?

HANNITY: You're a great American, Senator.

LIEBERMAN: You too, pal.

HANNITY: Senator Lieberman. "Oh Hannity, you never like Democ..." Yes I do, I like Democrats. There's one good guy.

[lebkuchen]

53. More fucking fear mongering

It's going to be a sad day for me if Lieberman wins.

Well, Lieberman will think that, anyway.

60. Tell us again what Iraq had to do with 911, Joey baby...

Even if you win, you'll be a pariah.

Can somebody please fill me in?

[IronLionZion]

62. What? Did something happen on 9/11?

I must have missed it. :sarcasm:

Wow, maybe Joe really is a Republican. I won't be surprised if he makes it official. At least then he will be a very socially responsible Republican.

[MANative]

63. I'll never forget 9/11 - I lived through it personally in Manhattan..

but I also remember 1776 and 1789. There's more to this republic than security, and I don't see that he's done anything to protect the liberties for which our forefathers fought and died.

[Cha]

64. Freakin' DemoGOGUE!

LIE-man needs a wake up call!

A couple of days ago on August 6th, 6 years AGO..the bushits could have done something about 9/11 besides SNOOZE. That's your fucking National Security for ya!

69. Kennedy, Truman, and Clinton all won wars.

or avoided losing them. Kennedy was integral in defeating Communism. Truman finished WW2. Clinton helped put an end to an genocidal government in Europe. Democrats know more about succesfully securing the country than Republicans including Lieberman ever could hope to.

Or he wants voters to forget it.

[Batgirl]

76. Vote for me or I'll throw you all under the bus!

He already tried holding his breath until his face turned blue. If he loses today his contingency plan is to wish all those bad, mean, weak-on-security dems into the cornfield.

[mcscajun]

79. Become? He's always been a self-serving, selfish, egotistical

piece of Republican trash. He's just much more out in the open about it since his position was challenged by Lamont.
