Joe Lieberman memories from 2006:
By John Amato Saturday Mar 29, 2008 4:45pm
He's turned into Zellieberman now. Zell Lieberman. What ever you want to call him---the fact remains that he's an embarrassment to himself and to his politics. The media should be howling about his own flip flop. He said this in '06 because he wanted to still be Senator. What lie will he tell next?
"I want Democrats to be back in the majority in Washington and elect a Democratic president in 2008. This man [Ned Lamont] and his supporters will frustrate and defeat our hopes of doing that." --07/06/06, Connecticut Primary Debate
It looks like Zell Lieberman is the one working to defeat the hopes and dreams of the Democratic Party.

yeah lets get on to iran!!! zell!
This jerk sickens me.
The people of Conn. should be ashamed!!!
Joe's seen the light, he knows we can't have dems in charge...
LIEberman. Blech. How did this turd EVER get elected?

Why's that?
I have feeling that he had himself in mind when he said "I want to get a Democrat elected president in '08" Funny that it took him this long to figure out what an unrealistic fantasy that was.
Hello, Harry Reid?
Not sure what show and I may be mistaken but, as I shaved this morning, I thought that I heard Lieberman or the moderator state that Holy Joe was an Independent.
Has Lieberman dropped his Democrat affiliation? If so, doesn't he have to submit to the same decertification as Jim Jeffords did in 2001?
die already, please, and leave us alone.
You can't hang with neo-cons for that long without their slime rubbing off, on to you.
I'm fortunate to live in Japan and work on a military base. As much as neo-cons like to sabre rattle, the truth is, they are scared shitless of those who are actually walking the walk, so I remain relatively slime free.
Shame On U.S. @ 8:
Yes, he has. In 2006, he lost narrowly in the Democratic primary for his CT Senate seat and chose the run in the general election as and Independent. He still caucuses with the Democrats, but is listed as an "Independent Democrat" because he is not technically a member of the party.
Ah, memories.
lieberman is sick. claiming that iran is a threat to world peace! based on what!? claims they are res[onsible for the lives of "hundreds" of americans. that number would still be zero had we not invaded iraq. and how many lives are we responsible for , joe?
Michael @ 11:
Thanks Michael.
I could have sworn McCain was the Republican nominee..
Holy Joe's got about 9 more months to act like he matters. When the Dems get a real Senate majority, it's back to being the historical footnote he was always destined to be.

Are you sure he isn't a dues paying member of the Party, though? I know he isn't serving as a Democrat, because he lost in the primary. But does that mean he's not a member at all?
ConcernedCanuck @ 5:
Don't think the dems can command as much respect around the world as John McCain, "We don't want to be loved we want to be respected" remember that?

As a registered 'Independent', Joe now makes me want to switch party's. Is 'Communist USA' still a registered party?
I think old Joe makes a fine Demopublicrat.
Err...or something.
*sighs*
Too bad he wasn't born a few years earlier, he could have founded 'Jews For Hitler'.
QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK.....
I hear Al Gore will be the Democratic nominee, will enter the scene and just tell Obama, "the last 2 years have been good practice for you boy, now step aside. I am Al Gore."
"Now let me run against John McCain. My VP will be no other than proven partner Joe Lieberman."
Geez. Is this party insane already to insult the Obama supporters like that? Who's coming up with such f**cked up ideas? Hillbots? Bill or Joe himself? Evidently someone's had it with the donkey.
Even in '06, he shoulda' been busted for political cross-dressing!

The economy is in the tank. The debt is enormous. The military is playing police officer in a nation they have no business being in. The military in Afghanistan is chasing goat herders. And you are worried about respect Chris? Sorry dude, but the Republican Brand has lost respect worldwide, and McCain is not the answer to getting it back. Wars cost money and your economy is in the tank, and the piggy bank is empty.
He is more vested into the interests of Israel than the USA...always has been.
And yet there is no "pravda news network" to call HIM out on this shit?? Such a shame.
This guy is a worthless politician. At least zell miller had some fire up his ass. This wet toast dumb shit looks like he's going to break out crying at any given moment.
he must be the ugliest giant rat of this country's sewers
I would like to take a big shit in his mouth.

When the Israel Lobby spent all its money with Democrats, Lieberman was a Democrat. Now that the Lobby has to deal with the Bush Administration, Lieberman is a closet Republican, who calls himself an "Independent".
The media should be referring to him as Joseph Lieberman,(I-ISR)
That good Democrats would have failed to support Lamont and allowed Republicans to elect this turncoat is unbelievable to me. What is wrong in Connecticut? Are you all too stupid to see a liar and a thief when he shows who he really is? Put your religion aside for a minute and look at the results of your stupidity. Lieberman is a fraud. He is loyal to a very small minority of the Israeli electorate. Or were there serious voting manipulations there? The Democratic leadership better start looking at the process. They fail to do so at their peril.

I couldn't tell you that. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that is the case, but it may very well be.
frank @ 23:
There's no chance of that happening...it's just EXTREMELY wishful thinking on the pary of some fervent Gore supporters.

Mc-LIAR-man Mcspeakith...

I can't believe the people of Connecticut drank Lieberman's Koolaid again and again and again, what will it take for the people of this state to wake up and realize they've been had, snake oil salesman Lieberman is the King of the all.
Thank you John for the video of Zelllieberman! And those words from Willie Loman Lickerman would certainly come back to bite him in the ass.
Lieberman like many others involved with 9/11 like Silverstein and Wolfowitz actually are Israeli citizens, I love the Israeli people but they should get rid of their neonazicons... acting exactly like Nazis is not the answer to preventing future Holocausts, Abu Graib, Lebanon, Gaza...
Once again, we can't have a discussion about the contemptible Lieberman without hearing that he is a tool of Israel.
As a Jew who has lived and worked in Israel, I want to point out the following: a major part of the hyper-orthodox Jews and the settler movement consists of U.S. expatriates and their families. The views of these people, and Lieberman, do not represent the attitudes of the Israeli populace in general, nor of the Israeli government. I invite anyone who doubts this to read the website of Haaretz for a few weeks. You will find that most Israelis are far more ready to confront the wrongs of their government than Americans are, and far more pragmatic about the future.
This issue is important, because it lets Lieberman and the Neocons off the hook to suggest that they are just doing someone else's bidding, rather than engaging in their vicious, warmongering stupidity on their own.
Well said, Green Eagle.
Sorry to comment again so soon, but 37-birdflewover's remarks were posted while I was writing.
Lieberman is really a citizen of Israel? How strange. Do you know of any other U.S. Senators in the history of our country that were citizens of other countries? Isn't it funny that this never became an issue during his various election campaigns?
By the way, accusing Jews of acting just like Nazis reveals the speaker to be an antisemite. If you don't get why, that just puts you in the same class as Southern crackers who don't understand why anyone would object to the term "Nigra".
Green Eagle @ 38:
i have to agree with green eagle
under the bush administration, israel has experienced more strife than anytime since the late 60s early 70s....
this is due to the hands off policy of the bushies
there is no way that israel wanted a destabilized mideast, which has led to more radicalism
holy joe only cares about himself...as is shown in the above clip
he lied through his teeth to hold onto moderate dem voters
When the Dems have a solid majority in the Senate they wont need the support of the independent Lieberman. The can tell him to take a hike.
birdflewover @ 37:
boy, are you delusional
"Zell? Zell?"
What movie?
ConcernedCanuck @ 5:
Better of asking a turd why it expelled the chicken.
Ken @ 42:
When the Dems have a solid majority of spines, then I'll expect this to happen.
Lieberman is a joke, he should be ashamed to be in politics and get off American teevee.
He can stay on American t.v., but he has to refrain from venturing outside of his Droopy Dog cartoon.
BFAC!
(Big F---ing Ass Clown)
He's spent the last year and a half blackmailing the Democrats into letting him caucus with them as he twists a knife into their backs.
To call him and Bernie Sanders both independents is an affront to the ethical independence that Senator Sanders has stood for.
"When the Dems have a solid majority in the Senate, they won't need the support of the independent Lieberman. Then they can tell him to take a hike."
Which is exactly why he's thrown in with McCain. Lieberman knows his relevance in the Senate is on borrowed time. Once the Dems have an increased majority in the Senate following this November, I fully expect the Dems to strip him of his committe chairmanship (where he has been utterly useless, especially in comparison to Henry Waxman, his House counterpart) and kick him to the curb. So he's desperate for McCain to get elected so he can get a cushy Cabinet gig or something. Add in the fact they are both die-hard Iraq supporters who are so eager to take out Iran next that you can see the drool on their chins and it's a match made in hell.
Look up the word sonderkommando.

Green-
People do need to realize that Israel and The Israel Lobby are not the same thing.
The people of Israel, like most people around the world, including America, want to live in relative peace and security. The Israel Lobby and the Neoconservative movement want to create war and chaos, because as they say, out of chaos comes opportunity. Lieberman isn't a tool of Israel, he is just a politician looking for an opportunity. If he has to climb in bed with the Lobby, or Cheney and his crew, that's what he will do.
Ahhhhh yes , Elmer Fudd , what a weasel ! Connecticut ( and Gore ) what on earth were you thinking ?
What a cancerous tumor of a man! I received an email in the last few days asking me to support Senator Mary Landrieu who, if you remember, was a passionate supporter of turncoat Joe. After a derisive snort of laughter I informed them that I would NEVER support her re-election and I will NEVER forget each of th assholes that helped put the yoke of Liberman on our necks.
It is time for these idiots to reap what they sow.
You know, if I were a Republican, I don't think I'd trust Joe Lieberman, either. After all, he did say that electing him to the senate would help get more Democrats in office in 2008. And now look at the way the election is shaping up, with Joe Lieberman whispering in John McCain's ear.
Maybe it's the old triple-cross, that clever old coot!
McCain/Lieberman in 2008! Say it ain't so, Joe!
If his lips are moving, he's lying.
i would really like to see an elmer fudd and mccain ticket on the republican side. any pretense by this turncoat weasel would be stripped away. I still say ask the two dem candidates how they now, right now, feel about lieberman. it would be interesting to see if they cover their response in political rhetoric or are they capable of giving a dennis kucinich FU all straight answer. the one who could do that in no uncertain terms has my vote. but to get that from either one, you need to wait for proverbial hell to freeeze over first. hillary, you virtually have no chance, so why not take a chance and say it and see how it flies. god knows you've tried everything else. Obama, if you say it, you can finally give some substance to your beautiful rhetoric. so just do it.
President PNACcio @ 52:
It would be nice to see some facts. Not a whole lot of substance.
