Lieberman attacks Soros
By John Amato Sunday Jul 01, 2007 9:01pm
Holy Joe (when will he be given a job at the AEI?) gives Bill O'Reilly a wet kiss with this interview in NewsMax.
But Lieberman's most pointed critique was aimed squarely at George Soros.Lieberman says of Soros, "His view of America is so negative. The places he's put his money are, in my opinion, so destructive that it unsettles me."
Soros, who gave $18 million to Democratic advocacy groups seeking to defeat President Bush in 2004, has said he supports Barack Obama for 2008. That troubles Lieberman, who says he doesn't respect Soros' values.
"This is the danger — somebody who has real potential like Obama gets co-opted by people whose hostile view of America and how to protect it and advance it is so different from mine and the views of most Americans," Lieberman says.
What's it going to take for Harry Reid to step up and do something about this guy already? He's a major obstructionist when it comes to oversight and now Lieberman is clearly attacking Obama.
None of the 08 candidates, save John Edwards, has had the stones to speak out against Lieberman and his insane calls to attack Iran. Joe has now placed Obama in an extremely precarious position where, in order to defend a loyal supporter, he has to also feed into all the right wing narratives that attend Soros. He ought to have the guts to do it anyway

Reid can't strip Sen. Palpatine Lieberman of his committee chairs and assignments
On the plus side, Lieberman can't flip Senate control back to the GOP even if he joins the party
Lieberman needs to be very publicly repudiated by the Dems, as harshly as possible and at every possible opportunity
And why that idiot Kristol thinks Lieberman's desire to bomb Iran will be a winner with the US voters, I have no idea
Newsmax is a vial sack of crap not even worthy of being called yellow journalism.
and we move on. What does God damned Holy Joe think about setting convicted felons who have obstructed justice free???? Does god damned holy joe think that is just wonderful?
god damned criminal republicans
The press report that Lieberman makes a vague statement for which he provides no context or support:
"...places he’s [Soros] put his money are, in my opinion, so destructive that it unsettles me."
Then they helpfully explain exactly what he meant:
"Soros, who gave $18 million to Democratic advocacy groups..."
So destructive......
Lieberman is a radical. I can't stand this crap anymore they have to yank his seats jesus christ.
Holy Joe is a Shakesperean tragedy. So consumed with ego and rage, he's become everything he once stood against simply as retribution on those who dared question his piety. His arrogance is his self destruction, and he will go to his grave never truly realizing why he was so angry, and how that rage consumed whatever integrity or honor he once had.
He is scum.
well of course he thinks soros is destructive. He gave money to a black man. didn't Bill O'Reilly say that the liberals want to tear down the white male dominated power structure that he and holy joe love so much. Soro's views about the republicans is negative and rightly so, soros feels very positive about america. republicans and repulijoe are the ones who are very negative and destructive for america. look how far we have fallen in six short years under criminal republican leadership. republijoe has his thinking all backwards
Reid CAN strip Lieberman of his Chairmanship, and the Committees remain in the Dems hands under the Senate rules.
Didn't Obama support Lieberman in his run against Lamont? Nice payback...swift and sharp to the back.
'Tis a shame Holy Joe doesn't believe in Hell, because he's going to spend an eternity (and them some) down there.
They can't kick joe out of the party because if they do and he caucuses with the Republicans they loose their narrow majority in the house and it becomes a tie. If that happens Cheney really will become a member of the Senate because he will have to vote on a lot of bills. I would rather have Joe shooting his mouth off, that he will do anyhow, than loose all the benefits of a democratic majority.
Thanks again, Connecticut.
"His view of America is so negative. The places where he puts his money are...so destructive..."
Thanks so little, you shriveled, hypocritical schmuck. Coming from the poster boy of negative and arrogant you have a lot of nerve. But I guess sociopaths don't have any empathy or concern for anyone except themselves anyway.
And that money will be used to get rid of every one the fascist bastard Republicans you call your brand new friends. With those friends--you really don't need enemies. But I know you don't care. Hanging with them is just a convenient opportunity to display your schmucksmanship till the next election.
So get this straight right now Joe---you had your fun at our expense. But we aren't laughing. But we will be when ream the Repubs a new one in November 2008 and kick your sorry ass up to your elbows and politically marginalize you for good.
If I were you I'd get fitted for that kevlar vest real soon. You are one of the sorriest bastards to walk the earth.
Here's the letter I just sent to Obama, Clinton, Reid, Menendez, and Lautenburg:
Dear Senator:
The pardon of Scooter Libby by President Bush coupled with the blatant Constitutional disregard of VP Cheney should be the final nail in the coffin for this administration. The long list of High Crimes and Misdemeanors perpetrated on the American people by these traitorous criminals can not go unpunished any longer.
It is your Constitutional and moral obligation to introduce IMPEACHMENT into the public dialogue, encourage the House to bring articles of impeachment, and vote to remove these dangerous people from office.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
(my name and contact info)
Yeah! Let's pretend the Dems will show some nads. I've held my breath waiting for the dems to do something. No more.
2008:NO DLC
2008:NO DSCC
2008:NO DCCC
2008:NO REPUGS
Simple and easy!
BTW, is Obie going to get rid of the two 'advisors' he got from pal joey liar? I think it's a setup. Link Obie to Soros; taint Obie and backdoor support for hilLIARy. all this noise has a purpose!
Listening to Lieberman is like putting a stethoscope on your anus a few hours after a seven -bean salad.
Shawn Fassett @ 8:
LIEberman is proof of the two-party system: the incumbent party(repugs, dlc, dscc, dccc) and the 'rest-of-them' party.
Tom Doff @ 15:
Now THAT is totally vile!
So now Droopy Dog joins the Loon Brigade? No surprise. The only surprise is that Harry lets Joe toss his feces in Harry's face.
Earth to Joe Lieberman:
The American people do not agree with you. This mystical center that you keep describing does not exist except in your own head. Please, please, please jump to the Republican Party. You will be doing us all a world of good.
LIEberman is in full melt-down. Friends of mine, here in CT, who were still defending him a couple of months ago are now calling him a delusional idiot.
George Soros needs to buy out CNN.
Any Dem who voted for him has to be on suicide watch.
Remember when Lieberman's stooges called Lamont an anti-Semite? Now Lieberman is throwing in with people like Falafel O'Reilly, who slimes George Soros with the same filth used by Birchers and other bigots against Jews: Soros has too much money; he's after your kids; he controls the media, he manipulates currency...
The only thing they haven't tried to pin on Soros is making matzo out of the blood of Christian babies.
Elmer Fudd Lieberman is just another scum bag traitor ala George , Dickhead and the rest of the neocon psychopaths , another human being that the planet would be better off without . I wonder is this guy completely nuts , evil and or so out of touch with reality that he actually believes his own bullshit ? Then again I wonder that about all neocons ( and remaining Bush supporters ) . I am not superstitious but I swear it is as if they are possessed and not by the Tooth Fairy either . Where are the Ghost Busters when we need them ?
You guys can't fool me, that is not Joe Loserman....that is that little funny guy from Hogan's Heroes. I heard that he is still attending autograph signings in malls and wars.

This is a great letter. I'll join you in sending something like it. I encourage you to send a version of it to your local papers as well.
I will NEVER understand what Al Gore was thinking for picking Lieberman his running mate...
Obama/Clark
Did everyone see this?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070702/ap_on_bi_ge/wolfowitz_aei
Wolfie has officially been hired by AEI. What a shocker!!
That is so typical of you, Joe, putting yourself first.
And one more thing: your views are not the same as the majority of most Americans
The Senator from Israel thinks Soros is opposed to Bush's War on Arabs, uh, make that War on Terror.....
Why did Al Gore ever pick this sniveling weenie as his running mate?!?
Lieberman is a Zionist pig. Thanks to Bush-Cheney and their America destoying agenda we stand to gain at the very least 1 more senate seat in the next election and Lieberman can be stripped of his commitee chair. Then the bastard can defect and he will be even more irrelevant in the minority party and his departure will not tip the balance of the senate to the Rethuglicans.
Why on earth should Obama defend anything? No response is the best response when it comes to Lieberman, and why dignify or engage the Sharpei about his sucking-sound opinions...which are only intended to slam Obama into his squealing mud-splashed swine hole.
There was some discussion on Firedog Lake as to whether Liberman is suffering from Alzhiemers, or some other mental disorder.
Send Joe an email so he can feel the love.
JEW FIGHT!. I went to a college that had 1/3 Jewish students. The various factions would sometimes get into screaming fights with each other. But when a Goy would try to understand what was going on they would gang up and accuse the Goy of Antisemitism because the Goy could not understand what was going on. (basicallly "you are not a semite so you are incapable of understanding antisemitism but you are guilty of it" - typical sophomoric college logic but if yelled loud enough was intimidating).
Lieberman is such an embarrassment to himself. He just sprays vitriol at dems any chance he can now. What a bitter little man he's become.
...AND by the way...I love Soros in the Springtime...I love Soros in the Fall...I love Soros in the summer, when it sizzles.... Great work Mr. Soros, now if you could just make a little adjustment on the brakes of Lieberman's car....
I've posted this before! Lieberman looks cute in that army suit!
I called Gore headquarters and b*tched them out the morning after they put Joe on the ticket.
One could just see the debate Droopy would present against Darth Vader.
It ended up worse than one could imagine.
He was a big p*ssy and said nothing to excite core voters.
And now he feels compelled to turn complete tory on us.
Love you too traitor.
Lieberman: Oiling his way across the floor, with the reek of human sewage oozing from every pore.
(sorry for the extra syllable)
If it's one thing Lieberman hates more than anything else it's a Jew who won't become a heel-clicking neocon. Sorry George Soros, Holy Joe sees you as a self-loathing infidel.
Klipper @ 13:
And this has what to do with Holy Joe and newsmax? just askin
We should mount Mr. Soros on our shoulders, shoot off fireworks in a cascade of flower petals up the steps of the whitehouse.
And while we're there ask why congress (we want NAMES) WHO voted down the impeachment of Cheney today. It just keeps getting stranger and stranger and impossible to fathom.
Our views are irrelevant and we will soon be occupying the halliburton camps that the fascists have ready and waiting.
Atta boy joe !
Gotta love a guy who thinks only he can save America and anyone who thinks different from him is "hostile".
Until politicians actually start debating again things will only get worse.
The time is right for Impeachment. Let the proceedings begin. Cheney, Bush and Gonzalas, all three simutaneously. Don’t forget, Libby can be subpeonaed to testify before Congress. If he lies before Congress he can still be charged again. It won’t be a get out of jail free if Bush and Cheney are under impeachment.
I have rewritten an updated version of our Declaration of Independence for 2007. Ihope you all will take a few minutes to read it and pass it on to friends and relatives.
http://myfightfordemocracy.blo…..-2007.html
I've heard Soros say with great pain in his voice, that americans don't understand the despair of living in a dictatorship (he does) and that he'll do anything he can to countermeasure that from happening here.
He backs Obama (I surmise) to prevent Hillary Clinton from exercising her truer intentions.
Fozetti @ 33:
Joe is suffering from a disorder. It's called the neocon syndrom. Incuracle at last check.
Joe's 'disorder' is the cold clear hit of power going up his nose.
According to Wikipedia, Soros donates money to:
The Million Mom March
Toward internet infrastructure for regional Russian universities
The Millennium Promise to help eradicate extreme poverty in Africa
The Central European University
Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus, for economic development in the third world
MoveOn.org
America Coming Together
Further:
Which of these does Lieberman find "destructive"?
I am drinking heavily tonight.
And by the way Joe, how's the Impeachment movement to get rid of you by the Independent Party of Connecticut going?
Let's stick ol' Joe in a time machine back to Hitler's Germany
so he can work as a collaborator, sending his own people to
the camps.
What a DISASTER of a human being.
On the other hand, Conservapedia says that he eats white, christian babies after boiling them alive, and that he once spoke French (or something that sounded like it).
Xerxes wins the Godwin award!!!
Fuck the Godwin Award.
Old Billy @ 51:
Well, for one Lieberman doesn't see his name on the list. Duh. ;)
Old Billy @ 55:
I think that might have been won by Adolf @ 45.
Anyone who cares about the facts concerning Soros's activities -- what he funds and cares about -- should take a few minutes looking around two sites: www.soros.org and www.opensocietyinstitute.org.
For Lieberman to say that Soros is hostile to what most people think of as American values is so beyond despicable, I'm practically speechless.
Well folks, the great thing is Lieberman's legacy is now in the dumps. His career is over, he will be voted out within a few years, and then he will have a decade or so of bitter memories of going from a vice-presidential hopeful to a turd-polisher.
fiver @ 58:
Ooo... That's subtle.
Sorry, Xerxes, I'm just joshing you.
That's the thing with Nazis... they're often subtle. Sometimes they're just hiding in the Bushes.

To John Amato:
You have a wise political geiger counter. I've been reading your posts carefully for the past year, and I am struck by how your slightest objection can broadcast a mountain of insight. Lieberman is out to get Obama. You are entirely correct. So is the entire AIPAC organization. They can't control Obama. They need a 110%-Israeli fop, and Obama mouths shit at the conventions then runs off the stage into his car. They can control Clinton, or so they think. She, on the other hand, doesn't care who is perceived to control her as long as she gets the nomination. She wants her old bed back. She'd be for Darfur genocide if it got her there.
Anyway, the point of my writing you this — and this is to you personally — is to express admiration.
[...] Clark Link to Article john edwards Lieberman attacks Soros » Posted at Crooks and Liars on Monday, [...]
• If Lieberman switches parties, it has NO EFFECT on the Dem leadership of the Senate or the committee chairmanships. That much has been established (contrary to what others above have said).
• As for his chairmanship of the HS Committee, flipping him out of that is probably more trouble than it would be worth. Does it really matter?
• Leader Reid is following the course of IGNORING LIBERMAN as the nonentity that he actually is. He has very little support in CN, and almost none elsewhere.
• An attack on Iran is quite likely in the coming months, say around September 11th. But removing Lieberman's chairmanship would have no effect on that, and would serve little purpose.
"She wants her old bed back. She’d be for Darfur genocide if it got her there." -- harel
That's a despicable statement. Whatever her geopolitical views, the idea that she would support a genocide is scurrilious slander.
Given that Clinton receives most of her support by liberals, and that a lot of those same liberals are anxious to do something about Darfur (and similar events in Congo, etc.), she would be very likely to support actions that would win approval from that constituency.
• That said, VP Gore or Sen. Kerry both have my vote -- already cast for elections that THEY WON -- before ANY of the 2nd tier candidates currently in front of us. If neither will run, and the primary goes her way, I have no compunction about voting for her if she wins the nomination.
And neither should any of you.
What a chickenhawk sack of shit. Once again, WHO CARES what smokin' joe has to say about anything. Can't wait for 2008, when another 10 Democrats get elected in to the Senate and joe can come out of the closet.
What’s it going to take for Harry Reid to step up and do something about this guy already? He’s a major obstructionist when it comes to oversight and now Lieberman is clearly attacking Obama.
Harry doesn't know what to do. Democrats don't know what to do.
So
They do nothing unless given guidance by Republicans.
They they vote for Republican initiatives.
Democratic initiatives somehow aren't worth fighting for, so the Democrats adopt Republican initiatives. The Democrats mention initiatives to their voters, but then don't bother following through with them after they've been elected. They lie to get votes and then thumb their noses at the voters once the voters have foolishly believed them again.
i have said it before, and i will say it again....holy joe is evil...just plain evil
I've been telling people since the 2000 election that Joe Lieberman was a Republican plant in the Democratic party. His intention has always been to torpedo the Democrats any way he can, and now he's attacking one of the major Democratic candidates.
He must be expelled from all congressional committees. Immediately. He should also be investigated for his $400 thousand dollar campaign slush fund. Where did all that cash go? Isn't it illegal to have such a slush fund?
that's all for Lieberman, folks. time for him to get on board the bush express to oblivion, maybe they could find a job for him cleaning out the toilets, although I doubt he's qualified, but then neither is bush.
[Do not advocate violence or issue threats on this site. This will be your only warning, banning is next]
Paul in LA @ 67:
No, Paul, not a chance. I will never vote for her. Not ever. There's a good chance the House and Senate will go Dem in the next election. A Repub Prez would then provide a balance if one were to be elected because of Hillary's nomination. Because I will not vote for Hillary. She's not experienced. She cannot stick her neck out. She has no principles. She is incapable of standing up to vested interests. She's a carpetbagger.
A Hillary nomination is a Republican wet dream.
Ron @ 47:
http://myfightfordemocracy.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-declaration-of-indep...
Joe has absolutely no business spending our tax dollars on his sun-glass and rug thrift shopping tours.
Why doesn't Joe follow up on Gen Taguba's story that he was ordered not to investigate up the chain of command in the " Abu Graib conservative torture fun-fest ", instead of his shopping sprees at taxpayers expense.
"Harry doesn’t know what to do. Democrats don’t know what to do."
That's nonsense. We are heading into a much bigger fight in the military appropriation bill in two weeks. YOU want Leader Reid to take his attention off the amendment process and preparation to attempt to shut down or slow Bushco policy overseas, in order to have a petty fight with Lieberman over his chairmanship?
• What a TOTAL waste of time. Good thing Leader Reid is a lot smarter than you about what's priority.
"They do nothing unless given guidance by Republicans. They they vote for Republican initiatives."
Nonsense. Nine-eleven never happened; the anthrax attacks never happened; the war hysteria never happened; the executive LYING never happened -- and most importantly the SIXTY PERCENT NAY vote on the Iraq Resolution and Pelosi replacing Gephardt to become the first female Minority Leader in US history -- never happened.
No, in your world those events had no impact on what you could get done for your country. Oh, that's right -- you're on the sidelines barking like a dog at people who are actually dealing with this coup.
"No, Paul, not a chance. I will never vote for her. Not ever."
Great. So if she wins the primary -- which is far from sure -- then you can waste your vote. Congratulations!
Robt @ 76:
That seems like a reasonable question. Why isn't someone investigating that?
A Hillary nomination is a Republican wet dream.
Got that right. Remember how Time joined the sales team touting her as "The Phenonmenon"? There was so MUCH of that going on, out of nowhere.
Like trying to enjoy the image of hyenas mating.
Clinton is dangerous. All that Pink she wears to soften the rage just under the surface.
Her "handlers" are coaxing her with red meat to not attack people for disagreeing with her, which sounds a helluva lot like our two charm-boys of the current admin.
....excuse me, did I really really hear it would be o.k. to have another repub prez and a dem senate and house would provide a "nice balance"?
On which planet do you reside, may I ask? Did you just get back?
So Leiberman has a problem with Soros' values and where he places his money. Ummm, yea sure Mr. Leiberman. I guess in Leiberman's mind its perfectly logical to give millions of dollars to people like him who are the most corrupt and incompetent group ever assembled.
In the future, look for Lieberman and the Scooter to get a job at FOX.
Go right ahead and call me anti American and anti Semitic for hating this evil Senator Palatine. I hate the sound of his whiney kermit like voice. I hate the fact that he is representing Zionist Israel, and not the U.S. Constitution. Maybe I'm just a few months ahead of you'all but this dude should be 'brought to justice'!
Some folks have opined that Holy Joe is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. However, the symptoms he's displaying, along with his bosom buddy, Baby Caligula, are pure paranoid-schizophrenia.
So they're worried some other unscrupulous monetary master may step in and take over their payroll? Is that the problem? Because hearing people like leebercrutch and cronies fear monger about Soros is beyond hilarious considering they're all bought and paid for themselves.
Remember when getting a blowjob and lying about it was an impeachable offense by Republican standards? May the voters reward these hypocritical low lifes with crushing defeats in the next election.
Now he's trashing George Soros? Can a passionate condemnation of cypher Ward Churchill be far behind? Lieberman's completely in the Fox/Neocon loop, right down the talking points expressing fake indignation over fake issues, condemning a philanthropist because he supports Democrats.
Voters in Connecticut "here's your sign"
picaresque @ 19:
Unfortunately enough agreed with him to him re-elected.
"What’s it going to take for Harry Reid to step up and do something about this guy already?"
That two-faced corrupt little chickenshit will have to grow a pair in order to do something about Lieberman. But the fact is, he has no interest in doing anything about Lieberman, who's a member of the club, so he gets a pass.
As I said above....
CT Voters...your poor, poor bastards...
"He gets CT money & funding we need"....really, how sure are you about that? 'Oh...and that should be the ONLY reason you vote for someone'...wow...didn't know they had that level of stupid above the mason-dixon....
Ruthless People @ 31:
Certainly adds a lot to this discussion. Perhaps you can share with us how you view other people of different religions and races
For LIEberman to give an interview with "News"Max shows how far off track Holy Joe has gone.
He must be stripped of his committee chairmanship(s). Wake up Mr. Reid!
I can't stand this creep. It's embarrassing that he was Dem VP candidate. We need different Dems in Congress, people who have integrity, not stock in all the major corporations.
Check out the ads on the NewsMax page. Quack medicine and get-rich-quick ads are very popular with the gullible and slow witted folks. NewsMax's adveritsers sure do know its target audience well, LOL.
I heard Lieberman was reelected in Connecticut because that state has the largest munitions manufacture in the nation, and he is the hand at the helm to protect that industry.
The Independent party he used is impeaching him out. Of course, he would be unaffected being a 'democratic' senator or somesuch logistical slime.
This demented shitbag doesn't like Obamma? That's the final bit of info I needed to convince me that Obamma is probably not a corporatist and therefore one of the good guys. You got my vote, Barrack!
Paul, that's a maybe. Obama needs to answer direct questions about how he intends to handle corporate interests. You've inspired me to search that one.
GI Joe Lieberman fighting for Democracy and the American Way.
sniff... I'm soooo proud.
We've got to pickup some seats in the '08 elections in order to neutralize this bastard. Sen. Reid can't do anything to alienate him, or he'll really jump parties. Plus, he's a whiny sonofabitch.
Lieberman is so utterly irrelevant, he's not worth the pixels.
I'd be surprised if a single person in Connecticut would vote for him again after his inability to abandon his disturbed "rosey lenses" worldview.
