Lieberman continues to push Obama/Hamas smear
By SilentPatriot Sunday May 11, 2008 7:00pmNo need to worry though, guys...he supports us on everything else.
When Wolf Blitzer pointed out that Obama also labels Hamas a terrorist organization, making his position the same as McCain's, Lieberman said, "that's true," adding that Obama "clearly doesn't support any of the values and goals of Hamas."
Then, with depressing predictability, came the inevitable caveat:
But the fact that the spokesperson for Hamas would say they would welcome the election of Senator Obama really does raise the question, "Why?"
And it suggests the difference between these two candidates.
This ridiculous guilt-by-association crap needs to stop already. Ed Schultz made a great point the other day: What if someone in, say, the KKK came out and said they would welcome the election of McCain over Obama? Does that have bearing on McCain, his candidacy or his beliefs? Of course not. But we wouldn't then go around, adding the caveat, "Why does the KKK support him?"
Only desperate neocons stoop that low (see: Joe Lieberman, above.)

Note to dems: with friends like these, who needs enemas?
I hope Osama Bin Laden endorses McCain at some point.
That would really throw the Republicans into turmoil.
Yeah, someone has got to find out who David Duke's choice is, QUICK!
LOSERMAN!
What a tool.
Hopefully he will be a VP candidate that loses once again.
What did Al Gore ever see in this jackass?
And, can you believe it?, the NYT has given that old AIPAC neocon Edward Luttwack space to bring up the Muslim smear again?
sophiedog @ 4:
Just think: this guy could have been Vice President for the last eight years. What could be worse than that? (heh heh heh...)
Has Lieberman crossed Reid's line yet? Just asking.
Maybe we should just hold a convention of terrorists and whoever they vote for loses the presidential election. The deciders on the US Supreme Court would likely say it is allowed under the Patriot Act, if it meant a Repug won.
Is there a more loathsome figure in US politics today? Bush is a simpleton, so yu can't really hold that against him. Cheney is at least up-front about being the Dark Lord. Lieberman, on the other hand, is a mewling little toady. If Harry Reid had a hair on his ass, he would have sent Lieberman to the basement of the Hart building months ago.
i again would like to thank the great people of ct for reeclecting holy joe asshat
btw, there are dems in wv who still think that obama is a muslim
Does anuone gets it? Liberman continue to support Israel, not the United States!
uncle joe hussein mccarthy @ 11:
He isn't, as far as Hillary knows.
Joe certainly makes a very insightful point. He is so patriotic. (sarcasm)
Really, I can't wait until we can have a real democratic majority in the Sentate
so this little smear baby fully achieves irrelevancy.
McCain getting a KKK endorsement would go a long way to energize his base.
Only trouble is: Where to announce--O 'Really, Limppaw, Clannity? Somebody's gonna get their little black heart a-broken...
America isn't quite as stupid as it once was to buy this BS . . . hence the recent losses of 2 long held Republican House seats. The Republican party is on it's way to the dustbin of history. Will take a while, but it is clearly dying. Thank goodness for the internet.
If what a terrorist organisation talking crap is so important to the character of a politicians, why hasn't Lieberman been asking why Bush wasn't called to the carpet for Al Qaeda thanking him for the fiasco in Iraq?
uncle joe hussein mccarthy @ 11:
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.
My partner recently had a very disturbing conversation with her grandmother, who condemned her vote for Obama because [brace yourselves], "He's an Iranian terrorist."
Hamas, Hizb'allah, Al Sadr's militias aren't terrorist organizations, they are protecting their homelands, in their homelands. They provide social services. I believe that the IDF and the U.S. Military is a terrorist organization. Terror is the use of fear or violence for political gain. Bush hasn't gained much in political capitol but the whole War of Terror has been a fabulous success for all of them. I can't stand that Zionist Hoodlum Jeo Lieberman. I can't stand that Kermit talker.
Ed Schultz made a great point the other day: What if someone in, say, the KKK came out and said they would welcome the election of McCain over Obama? Does that have bearing on McCain, his candidacy or his beliefs? Of course not. But we wouldn’t then go around, adding the caveat, “Why does the KKK support him?”
I like Jon Stewart's response to McCain. When McCain mentioned that Hamas indeed says that they prefer Obama, Stewart responded, "And you take Hamas at its word?"
Lisa Williamson @ 6:
If that were the case, he could be the president for the next eight years.
Actually, it would be hilarious if the KKK endorsed Obama over McRepublican...
Harry Reid still sucks up to this opportunist. Now I would ask of HIM. WH
The electorate voted in a Democratic majority in 2006 in order to pull in the reigns of the out-of-control Bush administration, yet they have failed miserably. And yet all the while complaing that they did not have a large enough majority to override Bush's vetoes. So WHY is Lieberman's false support so important?
The Dems should cut loose this albatross around their necks. I cannot see how it would make any difference in their abilities to rebalance the power structure of our government.
Harry Reid still sucks up to this opportunist. Now I would ask of HIM. WHY?
Traitor Joe Lie-to-Dems is a duplicitous egomaniac. When we have a genuine Senatorial majority next year, he should not merely lose his chairmanship. He should be relegated to a dark, basement office, and stripped of all privileges the majority party holds.

Mike Mid City @ 20:
Highly doubtful. Although vice presidents often assume the presidency upon the president's death, they rarely win elections upon the end of their president's term.
In fact, in the post-12th Amendment era, it's only happened twice:
George H.W. Bush succeeded Ronald Reagan; and
Martin van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson.
Let me disclose straight off that I don't know much about parliamentary procedure.
Since the '06 erections, the Dems have used the old "gotta have 60 votes in Senate" excuse, so I'm guessing there must be committee or sub-committee chairmanship details involved in going from, what is it, 50-49? to, I guess 49-49.
If anyone can indulge my ignorant and lazy question, I'd be much obliged.
It evidently has not occured to either Saint John the Clueless or his vessel Joe Lie-berman that someone at Hamas might just be unstupid enough to anticipate that "endorsing" Obama would be seized upon by Saint John and Lie-berman as a weapon to use against Obama. To rephrase Lie-berman's question, "Why, then, would they endorse Obama if they want him to win?" One obvious answer is that Hamas actually wants the Great Fool wannabees to win and continue the ineffectual and stupid policies of the current Great Fool.
So, is Saint John Hamas' "worst nightmare" or their "wet dream?"
Che's Lounge @ 22:
They'd lose the Senate altogether. It would become 50/50 with Cheney breaking every tie, and Traitor Joe is just petty enough to begin voting with the Republicans on everything for spite.
Corporate Amerika wanted Hillary to run against McCain. Now that Hillary has lost the nomination, Corporate Amerika is stuck supporting McCain. The Corporate media is not going to be able to sell McCain to public. My right-wing Republican dad told me yesterday that he likes Obama. A lot of rank and file GOP members are jumping ship and re-registering as Democrats or Independents. Like my dad said, the GOP is been taken over by a bunch of religious nuts and carpet baggers from Texas.
Widespread @ 27:
I'd be happy to try to answer your question, but....might you rephrase it? I'm actually not sure what you're asking.
We all know why the KKK would support McSame. The difference is, liberals try go beyond it. The Dems are running against schoolyard bullies. It's hard to keep dignified.
Bin Laden and every terrorist in the world endorses the American Republican Party and its foreign policy.
After all that's 100% of their recruitment strategy. Why quit something that has worked so well?
Joe must eat tainted meat. He's a good candidate for nothing but Alzheimer's.
Obamas hustling pool games in Kentucky today not hanging out with Hamas.

That, and the media treats the Senile Saint (and virtually all Republicans) differently. When these kinds of accusations are hurled, the media will feign fairness and hold debates. However......
When McCain says, "Hamas supports Obama," the talking heads will debate whether and why the accusation matters.
If Obama were to say, "The KKK supports McCain," the talking heads would debate whether the accusation were fair.
I am he, and I endorse McCain.
Obama wants diplomacy. McCain wants to drop bombs. I'd wager most foreign leaders would prefer the former. Go figure.

5 Myths on Who's Really 'Pro-Israel'
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR200805...
______
Sen. John McCain has said he will be Hamas' worst nightmare. It's a juvenile thing to say. The line sounded more convincing when Sly Stallone said it in one of his Rambo movies.
What does the senator propose to do to Hamas? Refuse to recognize the Hamas members who are the legitimately elected representatives of the Palestinians? It's already been done. Assassinate Hamas' leadership? The Israelis do that every chance they get. Put Hamas' elected officeholders in prison? Done that. Seal off the Gaza Strip and impose collective punishment on a million innocent people? The Israelis have done that. Set up roadblocks? Done. Periodically attack the Palestinians with advanced weapons? Done.

Post Americans @ 18:
Precisely. And if you want to spin this Hamas/Obama endorsement the other way, you could say they endorse Obama becuase they know it will cause fear in America which leads to a vote for McCain which leads to more of the same clueless, money-bleeding, stumbling-around-in-the-middle-east America. Just America's enemies like it.
That knocks the chicken shit o-meter for a loop.
Way to marginalize yourself Lieberman.
Hamas was democraticlly elected; actually, much more so than the media generated election of the US of A; but perhaps they feel with a sane US gov't in place they might well be able to negociate a peace.
But that wouldn't fit into the Lieberman (or neocons) view, so it must be wrong.
Asimov stated that violence (war) is the last refuge of the incompetent, and certainly the Repugs proved him right.
McCains being dumped by "conservatives" today for Global Warming.
"The global warming bullsh!t he was spewing today has completely erased any chance of my voting for him."
"Sadly, McCain has now given me a compelling reason to ‘stay home’. I won’t won’t Dem, but I may not pull any lever for POTUS come November."
"In my mind McCain is a moderate to liberal democrat and I will never vote for him."
"McCain lost me a long time ago. This crap today was the real McCain. Liberal RAT with a R by his name."
I agree that Joe L. is giving us all a taste of the best ammo the Repubicans have in their aresenal. Guilt by Association. Classic cheap politics playing to the dumbest denominator in the American electorate. That's it, that's all they have.
Those tactics only convince fools and suckers. I don't believe that a majority of Americans are fools and suckers. I hope to God I'm right.
Obama/Clinton '08!!!
What Lieberman is trying to tell us is that we should always capitulate to our enemies and let their their rhetoric guide our policy decisions, like children on whom child psychology works.
I would ask Lieberman if the rantings of those we don't like is any reason to vote or not vote for someone, and does this play a major factor in the policy decisions he makes.
I think that Hamas probably does support Obama over McCain, given McCain's endorsement of Bush and neocon foreign policy. What they are leaving out is that likely most of the rest of the world also wishes for Obama's election over McCain. In other words' most of British citizens, most of French citizens, most of Belgium citizens, most of (you name it) .....
Probably because Bush's foreign policy was influenced by dual citizens like Pearl, Wolfowitz, Feith and others, the government of Israel probably wants continuation of the same neocon policies, namely a "spare no expense" Middle East makeover policy championed by McCain and coined "Rouge state rollback". That also seems to be Lieberman's stance.
But with the U.S. spending about half the world's military expenditures, I think a lot of the world considers the U.S. the number 1 threat to world peace, and therefore desire a change in policy. This desire is not confined to Hamas.
Lieberman is scum. On second thought, that's insulting to scum. Lieberman is less than scum.
Karen @ 26:
And only one of those was even a remotely successfull Presidency. Hint: it wasn't the Reagan third term.

Actually, I misread that: BOTH vice-presidents were voted out of office after a single term.
Not the ticket to a successful Presidency, one assumes.
How much money is required for one to sell his Soul? Only Lieberman knows the
answer to that question. This Guy is nothing more than a Lying Bottom Feeder.
Is there anyone outside the U.S. (other than Bin Laden) that wants McCain to win?
Karen @ 29,
They’d lose the Senate altogether. It would become 50/50 with Cheney breaking every tie, and Traitor Joe is just petty enough to begin voting with the Republicans on everything for spite.
As opposed to what? What significant legislation has passed because Lieberman remains an "indy"? Please refresh my memory, because I don't see how he has helped the Dems (or prevented the repugs) in any way since becoming and independent.
I think it's fairly obvious why Hamas would say they want the Democrat to win. Because they know that Americans will do the exact opposite, elect another Republican bull in the world china shop, make more of the world hate America, and they can get more recruits! The LAST thing Hamas wants is somebody who'll convince the Arab world that America is not so bad, and is NOT worth becoming a suicide bomber in order to help with its destruction.
I wonder what the French Resistance during World War II was labeled by the Nazis. Where they called "terrorists"?
The Bush administration calls Kurdish radicals in northern Iran "freedom fighters", but those in Turkey are "terrorists", yet back in 2003 those Kurds in northern Iraq, were freedom fighters, good friends of the U.S..
Besides, what's the difference between the indiscriminate shooting of peaceful protesters, flying low with fighter jets at super sonic speeds so as to cause property damage (shattered windows in Gaza), cause pregnant women to miscarry, refusing medical care to a dying boy with cancer AND launching rockets into a town, or bombing a bus?
What is the difference? You tell me! If one organization states overtly to have shelled an entire family by mistake, yet covertly has aimed at the systematic killing of an entire people while another openly says that it will use whatever means necessary to end the occupation, what's the difference?
Watch the Israeli media, listen to the radio, read the school textbooks and listen to the government's rhetoric and the cumulative effect is that, if you were a young 18 year old Israeli, about to enlist, you're going to be eager to join the Israeli military so you can "kick some Arab ass".
You're kidding yourselves if you think there's a difference between Hamas and the Israeli government when it comes to the use of violence (never mind their stated goals). Coincidentally, both provide their own people with social and medical services. And they were both elected democratically. Sure, it shatters your entire belief system, especially if Israel represents something so infallible and holy to you, but you can't run away from reality.
And to to be fair, David Ben Gurion and other Israeli leaders, weren't exactly saints, just like Arafat wasn't exactly a saint. Ben Gurion was one of many who belonged to a Jewish organization called the Hagana which was responsible for bombing the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, among other acts of "terrorism" aimed at scaring Palestinians into submission and the forcing the British into leaving.
This whole charade of holier-than-thou rhetoric is ridiculous. At the end of the day, unless you're Ghandi or Mother Teresa, you shouldn't point the finger and say "terrorist" while that same finger is dripping blood from a recent "liberation" (Iraq) or some such mumbo jumbo operation. Israel's Grapes of Wrath in 1996 where more than 200 refugees were bombed and killed at a UN base comes to mind. Israel said: "Sorry", but Hizbollah made us do it.
votingvet @ 47:
Don't bet on it. The American public was handed budget surpluses as far as the eye could see under Clinton and threw it all away by electing Bush over Gore. I don't want to hear about Florida - it shouldn't been a close election. Only a population of fools would let that happen, especially with the need for fiscal responsibility if Social Security was to be funded. Now Bush has raided the trust fund, and seeks to stiff recipients through "reform". In 2004, the election should have been about fiscal responsibility, Iraq and health care, yet the month before the election centered around Vietnam and Kerry.
Once again in 2008, McCain is close. He shouldn't be close. Only a lot of morons make this race close. If this nation was half way intelligent, they would concentrate on not only electing the Democrat candidate for President, but also throwing out the Bush enablers in the Senate and House. Right now, as pointed out by Harry Reid, the Democrat "majority" in the Senate was a Republican majority on foreign policy for most of the last two years because of Lieberman and the illness and absence of Sen. Tim Johnson D-South Dakota.
We have to get out the vote like it has never been gotten out before if we're going to turn things around.
No mention in the MSM to this point that Hamas is an enemy of Israel, and has not attacked the USA.
Che's Lounge @ 55:
No legislation passes at all because the Republicans filibuster everything on the Democratic agenda.
The risk in pissing off Traitor Joe Lie-to-Dems is that the Republicans will end up controlling the agenda. They'll propose legislation that the Democrats won't be able to filibuster (because enough DINOs will allow votes to come to the floor) and Traitor Joe will vote with them, ensuring that the legislation passes.
At the moment, we can't pass anything, but Traitor Joe won't give the Republicans control if we give him his chairmanship.
But hey, there are certainly arguments in favor of just letting Lie-to-Dems loose. Let him do what he wants, so that Connecticut can really see who he is. And call his bluff by threatening not to be offer a sliver of compassion when the Democratic majority increases next year. And I understand thinking that it wouldn't make any tangible difference at this point if he did become a full-fledged Republican.
I stopped giving a rat's ass what Quisling Bin Lieberman thinks about anything some time ago (although good for comic relief as to what a dirtbag Joe really is).
What a miserable skunk.
Someone please flush the toilet , I am sick of the is Lieberman turd , he stinks .
Lieberman is a very sick man with his own agenda that has nothing to do with reality. This is my biggest gripe about Harry Reid--that he has continued to allow this man to have a bigger role than he deserves.
Lieberman just needs one of those Charles Manson jobs on his forehead and then he'll be complete! If you put the two together it's hard to figure out which one is more insane!

that he supports that flip flopper is so he can continue to deplete America's treasure in the Middle

american people know what AIPAC represents and how much of a detriment this organization has
been to our nation. What a rancid, rancorous,stupid old white man, (like Michael Moore would say).Damn!
bankrolled by neocons to retain his seat in 2006 under the guise of 'independent', we all know joe LIEberman is a turncoat, his days of ruling will end come November 4th, 2008 when his seat is returned to a rightfully deserving democrat!
So long joe, you suck!!!
fastfeat @ 22:
...you see,that's why all this talk's a joke...If Hamas really wanted to see a candidate elected, they'd opt for the most conservative, in the hope that it would fuel confrontation and war, and thus solidify their street level support in the Arab World.
I wonder if Obama got rid of the 'Advisors' he got from LIEberman!?
Connecticut,
What did America ever do to you?
Hamas was installed by the Bush administration because they thought the other guys would win. They didn't do any polling to find out Hamas was the heavy favorite to win the election. So they installed Hamas. And Joltin' Joe is the only one that can talk about it because he was supposed to be a democrat then. Why doesn't anyone mention that it was the repugnant that forced this election on Israel and even Israel told them they were wrong and that Hamas would win?
brilliant we are not dealing with here.
I was so offended by this. Let's just make sure more Democrats are elected this year so that Lieberman can drift off.
don't know if anyone mentioned... but do ya notice that the neo-conservatives just take a fact and reverse the meaning by leaving out the proper context?
example.
(paraphrased) "the iraqies think this is a republican war and they don't want another republican as the next president" (probably because they are seeing uncontrolled and only mediated bloodhshed on a daily basis)
to what joe ends up piping "But the fact that the spokesperson for Hamas would say they would welcome the election of Senator Obama really does raise the question, “Why?”
he just reshaped the information in front of our eyes!
also i know that hamas and the iraqies are in some regard far removed but the share the same struggle... a war without diplomacy.

How can so many voters in Connecticut be so freaking stupid? We are ALL paying the price for your mistake.
Dear Connecticut,
Are you proud?
Sincerely,

Anytime someone brings up the "why does Hamas support him" question we should answer "reverse psychology". Hamas knows no one in the US will vote FOR someone based on their endorsement, but they might vote AGAINST him. So the question becomes, why does Hamas fear Obama so much more than McCain?
When the Republicans have decidedly lost the Senate, Lieberman needs to be stripped of every leadership position. He's not just a conservative, he's one of their star players-- one of their most extreme, most reliable team players.
Hell, I believe that Lindsey Graham is more "independent" than Joe.
as reality sets in, neocons like newt and joe LIE berman will see the ERROR of their ways...but too late...it's all over!!!
Obama Leads McCain as Bush, GOP Hit Record Lows
"Americans are gloomier about the direction of the country than at any point since 1992, and Democrats have matched their biggest advantage in 25 years as the party better able to deal with the nation's main problems," according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
"Overall, Democrats enjoy a 21-point advantage over Republicans as the party best-equipped to handle the nation's problems."
However, in a general election match up, Sen. Barack Obama leads Sen. John McCain, 51% to 44%, indicating McCain "continues to elude some of the anger aimed at his party and at President Bush."
President Bush got a record low 31% approval rating in the poll.

19 Percent Approve of Bush
by David Swanson
February 20, 2008 at 13:56:54
George W. Bush has set a record for unpopularity that may stand for all time: He now has a 19 percent approval rating. And, remember that Cheney has always polled LOWER than Bush. Imagine if the Democrats were to do something we care about (preserving the Constitution) by doing something they care about (winning elections) by forcing John McCain to choose between supporting impeachment and supporting these characters who may soon be less popular than the flu. Remember, Congress moved to impeach Nixon and STILL nobody liked him, but he was more popular than Bush or Cheney: He stayed at around 25 percent through the process. Clinton climbed from about 60 to 65 percent as a reaction to Congress prying into his personal life and attacking him for a non-impeachable offense. Which scenario do YOU think is more like the current one, Clinton's impeachment or Nixon's? Truman's popularity sank as Congress moved to impeach him too, but it never sank as low as Bush's and Cheney's.

Poll: Bush sinks, voters angry and concerned
Posted on May 12th, 2008 by political buzz
Judging by the results of a new ABC News/Washington Post poll gauging views on subjects from the popularity of President Bush to the direction of the country, the upcoming general election campaign will be full of Bush bashing (even from McCain) and attempts by the candidates to “feel the pain” of voters who feel that the U.s. has gone off the rails. May the toughest politician win, because that’s who voters are looking for. But is the toughest ‘08 candidate on the verge of leaving the race (Hillary)?
Lots of gloomy numbers, so let’s take a look:
Public disgruntlement neared a record high and President Bush slipped to his career low in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Eighty-two percent of Americans now say the country’s seriously off on the wrong track, up 10 points in the last year to a point from its record high in polls since 1973. And 31 percent approve of Bush’s job performance overall, while 66 percent disapprove.
Bush’s approval rating has been extraordinarily stable — before today’s 31 percent it had been 32 percent or 33 percent in nine ABC/Post polls from July through last month. In presidential approval polls by Gallup since 1934, just three presidents have gone lower: Jimmy Carter, who bottomed out at 28 percent approval in July 1979; Richard Nixon, 24 percent in July and August 1974; and Harry Truman, 22 percent in February 1952.
Bush now has gone 40 months without majority approval, beating Truman’s record (also during economic discontent and an unpopular war) of 38 months from 1949-52.
Beyond the president’s overall rating, intensity of sentiment is heavily against Bush. Fifty-two percent of Americans not only disapprove of his work but do so strongly, matching the high in ABC News/Washington Post polls set in July. Just 15 percent strongly approve.
