Remember back when Lieberman was running against the Democratic candidate Ned Lamont and many DUers

[Stinky The Clown]

..... found it in their heads and hearts to defend Joe, citing his reliable support for social issues, even as he was a strong war supporter.

Will anyone now own up to supporting him? Or even defending him? Or even saying something nice about him?

[AndyA]

1. I seem to remember someone attacking me over the Lamont/Liebershit thing.

I just couldn't understand how ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN wouldn't want Ned Lamont in that seat. Some of us knew better at the time. Joe has always been a bit of a problem, and there was no reason to think otherwise at that time. After all, Democrats rejected him and that wasn't good enough for him.

He needs to go, and I do believe he will be gone after 2012.

2. As far as I know he has never engaged in counterfeiting US currency

That's the nicest thing I could think of.

[martymar64]

31. Nor has he ever jacked off in front of kindergartners. . . as far as I know

That's pretty nice.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. I really love it that Joe's fan clubbers are unrecing this.

Don't be shy, unreccers .... come forward and identify yourself. Have the courage of your convictions.

Its sad how this pronographic observation gets made over and over .......

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

4. What was also revealed was that the will of the voters meant squat

to some Dems who went ahead and campaigned with Lieberman out of "friendship" regardless of the wishes of the Dem primary voters.

And now he is the man trying to singlehandedly kill off healthcare reform.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Yup ..........

..... that was one of the reasons I couldn't get behind Clinton in the last primary. Not that she's alone. Far, far, far from it ..... but still .....

[saracat]

22. Obama campaigned for Lieberman! And let him keep his chairmanship!

[derby378]

5. I think a lot of Lieberman's diehard supporters got tombstoned in 2006

This was right after the state primary in CT, when Lamont clinched it and Lieberman decided to go indie.

[rufus dog]

7. I can say something nice.

I would be more than happy to shove my foot nicely between his ass cheeks.

[alstephenson]

8. No. No. And no.

[barbtries]

9. nope.

weren't me.

[NNN0LHI]

10. I voted for him

In 2000.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. Heh! Didn't we all?

I file that vote under the header "What Was Gore Thinking?"

[nashville_brook]

18. i was at the rally in Nashville when Al introduced him, and was crestfallen.

i couldn't understand it. we'd waited so long, and this is what we got. it made no sense, and still makes no sense. i actually wanted to like him -- like the crappy boyfriend your best friend just brought home for introductions (what does she see in him?! is this calculated to piss off the ex?).

i put my vote next to HIS name and i'll feel good about it. the vote was for AL. period. Lieberman was the dingleberry, crappy boyfriend that we would've had to put up with. would'a been better than Bush, but then, a turnip would have also been better.

[Canuckistanian]

12. As I recall

Lieberman supporters were pretty much slapped around after Lamont won the primary and Joe went independent.

They either left, eventually saw the errors of their ways and repented.... or got tombstoned.

[redqueen]

13. God... yes, I remember it.

But no, I don't expect anyone to own up to it.

Maybe a couple of our resident DLC supporters...

[Lerkfish]

14. well...

I never supported him, except when he was Gore's running mate.
I have never defended him
I can not really find anything nice to say about him. He's twofaced, a traitor and an enabler of the worst GOP policies to come down the pike, He attacks democrats while trying to pretend he's a democrat, should have been stripped of any positions he had and supports war, limbaugh, McCain, Palin, big Pharma, is against anything that helps the american people...


Sorry, I cannot think of any good reason to say anything nice about the man. it is people like him, that make me also hate the DLC.

15. bull. a scarce handful of DUers defended Lieberman when he ran

against Ned.

I wish people like you would stop making shit up.

[Malikshah]

17. Care to back up that claim, or is making shit up

something close to one's heart.

People need to own their shit.

It is called accountability. It is part of being an adult.

[cali]

grab a frickin' clue. The OP is the one that made the initial claim

did he back it up, darlin'? Why no. And as he first made the claim, it's up to him to provide evidence for it. duh.

[Malikshah]

20. Predictable non-response. One finds that when one comes across an internet

"bully" all one has to do is call on them and they get all flustered.

Still waiting.

[Kolesar]

26. bull. a scarce handful of DUers defended Lieberman when he ran against Ned

I wish people ... would stop making shit up.

[Malikshah]

29. Wow... Send in the clones

Or at least program defendobots with a new line

[nashville_brook]

19. a scarce, vocal handful. made for some interesting threads. they're there -- use the google.

it was a vocal minority, as it is with most rotten things.

[HughMoran]

16. I remember that as well

:mad:

[Iggo]

21. Link?

;-)

[ecstatic]

23. I agree with cali. Lieberman has been shit around here for a long long time

I doubt many people supported him on du.

[Kingofalldems]

24. I know somebody who still supports him--albeit secretly

Lieberman supporters seem to be quite sneaky.

[DainBramaged]

25. Search my posts, I vilified the dirtbag....

[Arugula Latte]

27. I detest that man, and my loathing has only grown stronger over the years.

Anyone who defends Traitor Joe is an asshat.

[chill_wind]

28. I'm clean.

I pretty much haven't had any enthusiasm for him, going at least as far back to his hot-tub gig on SNL.

:-)

[Odin2005]

30. I don't remeber anyone here defending Looserman.

[DU GrovelBot]

33. His cartoons were funny.

[Freddie Stubbs]

34. No. I do not remember that

Do you have any links of DUers (other that ones who have been tombstoned) who supported Lieberman after the primary?
