Lieberman To Speak at the 2008 GOP Convention?
By Bill W. Saturday Aug 02, 2008 2:00pm
On this week's Meet the Press, Tom Brokaw wondered if McCain supporter and Democratic turncoat Sen. Joe Lieberman was still planning on infiltrating caucusing with the Democrats following this November's election and got around to asking him point blank whether he planned on being this year's Zell Miller at the GOP convention:

Brokaw: Are you going to speak at the Republican convention? [...]
Lieberman: That decision hasn't been made. If Senator McCain feels that I can help his candidacy, which I think it's so important to elect him our next President, I will do it. [...] And frankly, I’m going to go to a partisan convention and tell them — if I go — why it’s so important that we start to act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers. [...]
Brokaw: Sounds like you're going to go.
Lieberman: Well, we'll see.
Kerry: Sounds like that to me too.
Before asking, Brokaw pointed out the growing dissatisfaction with Lieberman's support for the Republican nominee and even mentioned the online petition 'Lieberman Must Go' dedicated to ending this poser's Democratic party leadership positions on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committees. Have you signed onto it yet?

I'm sure a man as well-respected by both parties as Joe Lieberman will be a great choice for the GOP.
Mr. Gore is a great man and American for a multitude of reasons; choosing this vile POS as his VP is not one of them.
Thanks again, Connecticut.
Droopy Dog trying to pull the country together with his "can't we all get along" rhetoric. Why don't you just admit you're a republican and get it over with. Oh, 'cause Ct. won't elect you next cycle? Rather just take pot shots at the dems from the neutral zone? I hope to god you lose heartily in the next election. Then you and Rove can go have a tea party.
Joe Lieberman's still alive; ergo, there is no god.
Lieberman is not a Democrat he's a Republican. A neo-con, plain and simple.
I'm suprised that Lie-berman's name hasn't come up more often as McCain's possible VP choice . Look for it to happen. Both have had unflattering physical photos taken embracing the Shrub.
@#2, it's unbelievable that I had a sign with his name on it in my window 8 years ago.
iraqhusseinconcilable @ 7:
Lieberman would be a great choice to help McCain overcome his charisma deficit. Lieberman simply oozes charisma.
If Lieberman challenges Chris Matthews to a duel I hope Chris accepts his challenge just to see the look of fear in Lieberman's eyes when he thinks he might actually have to duel.
I think I am right in giving credit to Jesus General for this, but all apologies if not -
Give 'Em Zell, Joe!
I wish Lieberman would choke on a pork chop!
Obama campaigned for him, remember? Only very reluctantly later endorsed LaMont
In that club, incumbency is the "Greatest (Only) Good."
What an ugly, loathsome person. I'm glad he didn't get elected back in the day. I don't think I could have handled seeing him any more than I do now.
Well, one way to neutralize this dipshit pullling a Zell Miller at the Republican convention is to have Chuck Hagel and Colin Powell speak at the Democratic convention. Both have basically endorsed Obama's position on Iraq and the Middle East, so they don't have to say much other than praise Obama's foreign policies. Nobody gives a shit what Elmer Fudd has to say anyway, other than Sean Hannity. I mean, even the jews don't like him.
Of course, if Obama doesn't pre-empt Zell Lieberman, both he and the Republicans are gonna take a huge shit on both him and the liberal bloggers.
Scott @ 6:
So are most Democrats.. including Pelosi.
"I'm not going to to the republican convention and spend my time attacking Barack Obama."
B.S. That's ALL he does now. That's ALL he's done for months. There are videos of it on Huffingtonpost, Crooksandliars, everywhere.
He thinks we're idiots.
when will senate dems cease being nice to holy joe
during his campaign, he promised to help elect a dem president
he made no stipulations
yes, he won because he got repug support...but he wouldve lost had all the ct dems known that he was lying (we all knew he was lying, but whatever)
even if the dems do not win a huge majority in the senate...this man must be stripped of all his power
he is filth
Brokaw allowed Lieberman to dominate every exchange.
He's no Russert for sure.
iraqhusseinconcilable @ 7:
A LIEbemann/McGramps ticket would all but ensure an Obama victory in November.
Try to imagine how the fools in Connecticut feel about re-electing this asshole.
They deserve exactly what they've got...it's America that got the shaft.
My congratulations and condolences to the author of this piece for listening to this WHINY POS.
Doesn't matter what he says, he whines it out.
Rusty Shackleford's $520 Loafers @ 9:
He oozes something, I'm not sure it's charisma, smells like shit.
i don't care if he speaks at the convention. i want him off the committee(s) and out of the party. not because of working with both parties because that will be his excuse because he is warmonger and a liar. he is a NEOCON and they believe they know better than the public and i don't totally agree with that philosophy.
It seems more and more like Brokaw is auditioning for Brit Hume's job!
Ron @ 23:
i smell shit........no whiffs of charisma...sniff sniff no just shit
What are they saying in Connecticut about him?
He doesn't have to be far left, but does he have to be so far to the right that you think he's being paid off? I'm still pissed that he shoved Repug talking points, verbatim, even if it was off topic all morning.
SM, great screen grab by the way.
:)
I would like just once for any of these clowns in the media to ask a question without framing it in neo-con terms. It's become so childish and frankly boring. Brokaw and the rest don't realize how they're marginalizing themselves. They're just becoming so completely irrelevent.
Doesn't Lieberman look and talk like that old Tex Avery cartoon character, Droopy The Dog?
iraqhusseinconcilable @ 7:
no way.....two older guys and both have some perceived
direct/indirectconnection to the democratic party...not to forget past voting records
#11 Marco:
You stole my line. Or rather my concept of Lieberman being the new Zell Miller. I curse you: may all your relatives stink of elderberries.
Kerry was getting pissed ( yea I suffered thru the whole show ) I was hoping he would give joe a Jet Li backhand . joe must go is a must , if he is an ID then Im a conservative anarchist .
Dr. Britney Hussein Matt @ 2:
My guess is Lieberman was implanted as Dem VP candidate just in case GW didn't "win" the election.
Just like LBJ as JFK's VP - just in case Nixon lost in 1960.
Just one little bullet and *poof* .. the Military Industrial Complex is back in action.
LIEberman only wants McCain elected because he wants the U.S. to keep large amounts of troops in the Middle east for Israel's protection.

Joseph Lieberman, aka Droopy Poodle, but usually just called Droopy, was the first and longest-lasting character created by Tex Avery for MGM. Under the name "Happy Hound.

Flackman @ 30:
Zionist Dog. Only this cartoon's not funny, it's deadly.
Of course Lieberman can step across the aisle so easily. Because the aisle doesn't exist except in the know nothing, sound-bite following, pharmacologically brainwashed, false history knowing, false religion indoctrinated, manipulated on every level, and overtly apathetic general public.
They are all criminals. Right wing or left wing. They are both wings of the same criminally negligent, amoral, and predatory creature.
You have been duped your entire life. Joe Lieberman is your enemy, yes. And so are the rest of this eugenic class of murderers who rule this place and turn it into Planet Idiot. Assassins in suits. They are SPECTRE. They are CHAOS. They are the Borg. They are a disease that infects this planet like no other in history.
Lieberman's act is all about self-preservation and remaining relevant. He knows he's one Democratic senate seat away from loosing his committee chair and being kicked to the curb by the Democrats. That's why he's gunning for McCain so if McCain wins he will be rewarded with a cabinet post in a McCain administration. Lieberman is a true neocon, self and self preservation over the welfare of the nation.
it kills me that McCheese's campaign is painting Obama as someone who is not like you or me, and I ask how many people are like McCain?
What percentage of people have left their first wives to marry another woman with much more money?
What percentage of people think rape is ever a funny topic?
What percentage of people in this country would call their wife a c**t in public?
What percentage of people in this country would allow someone else to degrade their own child to win a political race and then when given a face to face with the bastard who used your child in that way, and would give him a hug?
Nobody is like McChilly...and since Obama is the first black man to be a serious candidate for the White House...I'm guessing not many of us are exactly like him either...but it doesn't matter!
Site Monitor: Do us a favor and don't use the C-word. It will not pass through our filters.

constituent @ 37:
watch this if you get a chance it's pretty good it's anti- mccain so i like it.. those of you voting for mcBush won't
appreciate it
Joe is the ONLY reason I am thankful Gore lost... but that aint sayin much.
WHO'S a partisan mud-slinger?
Party affiliation is meaningless here.
*
Let him speak. He is not a popular man in America...may be to AIPAC and Neocons..But that's not America.
I wish he speaks,and divide the Republican party.
Not all Republicans are Hagee's and AIPAC'S lovers like he is.
He is supporting McCain because he is on a mission to see Israel's enemies destroyed using US military power,money and prestige and nothing else.
He sponsered the Iraq act in 1998 under Clinton to topple the Iraqi regimes of Saddam Hissein,and now he sponsered Lieberman/Kyle act against Iran.
He sees that McCain is faster in pulling the trigger for another war against Iran and Syria than Obama..and that's why he is hanging around McCain.
Lieberman always talks about how he despises division ,partisanship and talks always of unity,but he has the sleaziest dividing character of any Senator in Washington.
He is a true Neocon.
Randy @ 45:
bravo.......well said
how liberal is he on economic issues??
Why bother? The Democrats are as large a bunch of gutless,
do-nothing, ass-kissing morons as are the Republicans. If
impeachment is "off the table," why would anyone think the
kind of crap Lieberman does would even register, at all?
#32 gempei
i swears it wasn't me, for realizes. I am not that clever. Had to be JG.
HARD TO HIDE HIS TRAITOROUS HISTORY ISN'T IT.
Joe crossed party lines to keep the WAR MACHINE going so that we can continue to
DEFEND ISRAEL.
No I do not want the end of Israel. I am pro Israeli. I am just ANTI WAR.
spoken like a true partisan mud slinger, mr. lieberman.
Ruthless People @ 38:
Not bad. Only 38 posts for the first anti-Zionist comment to appear.

LIEberman could be Obama's or McCain's pick for VP.
If he does speak at their convention, watch for the thirty foot inflatable rat that the folks from Connecticut will place outside the convention hall. They are ready to rock and roll with it.
Lieberman is probably McCain's first choice for VP. Don't be surprised when it's announced.
lieberman did it again "rock star" "celebrity" this is code for fad not ready,young and inexperienced. i've been saying for months obama needs to denounce this....he knows how to do it without being defensive.
can we say mccain is old and been in the government his entire life......this was rove linguistic negative framing. lieberman says funny humor bullshxt that is talking points.
I already signed my 'Lieberman Must Go' petition. It was called voting Nader.
lilorphant @ 56:
i will be surprised.. of course you could be correct that would be Grumpy Old Men 3 or 4.....i just think it would throw the (R) completely off identity..
Make hay while the sun shines Joe. After Novembers election you will be whale shit.
in the good old days, Joe the Liar would have been tarred,
feathered, and then run out of town on a rail.
ah, sweet nostalgia.
return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear!!
he's going to get his just desserts come the middle of November,
I hope.
Lieberman is nothing but a whiney-assed bullshit artist who continually acts as if he has no choice on anything, because he's a victim of circumstances. He absolutely loves the role he has placed himself in because people are forced to listen to what this charletan thinks. Enough already . . . do us all a favor, Connecticut democrats, and vote this SOB out of office. Everyone, except McCain, is sick to death of this guy.
Does it even matter if this loser speaks at another loser's republican convention?
Honestly, does he even carry any weight with anybody anymore?
Uncle Joe has burned so many bridges that his days are numbered. The Retuglicans are using him and the Democrats use him, when they can, for his vote. After the elections this fall I doubt what he says will carry much weight with either party.
"act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers"
Yeah Zell-berman, the mud's ok if it's aimed at your former team.
If it's Traitor Joe for veep why not squeeze in Hayseed for a pallid menage a grouch?
Dahgrostab'ph-r-i @ 10:
Spitballs at ten paces?
AS A JEW.... i beg you.... can we vote him out of the religon ???
his support of JOHN "THE BUSH REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN in his UNHOLY-WAR does NOT represent the Jewish People
This makes me extra proud that our nominee-in-waiting campaigned for this slug.
Obama said he hoped the people of Connecticut would have the "good sense" to reelect Joe.
Another election.
Another farce.
Did you happen to see George Walker Bush signing of FISA in the Rose Garden? George Walker Bush looked as perplexed as he usually did, Cheney doubled over with laughter in delight and Joe Lieberman looking for another place to land as the rats were beginning to jump the sinking ship.
Jeon Ji-Yung @ 3:
Come-on. Give us a break. We are 'Nutmegers, after all.
The senator from Tel Aviv. The interests of our Israeli allies outweigh all other interests.
His stepson, a rabbi, endorsed Obama. Wouldn't you love to hear THAT family story?
Lieberman to kiss ass at the GOP convention. How can I miss it?
LIEberman is the new fucking Judas.
anything for himself. bastard
Sweet Mother of God I hate the stink of this guy.
Just the unmitigated gaul it takes to be in the tank for McCain and a party that has done nothing but operate in a savagely ruthless partisan fashion and mewl like a simpering PUNK about how gosh darned important it is to "act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers".
Holy jumping Jesus on a trampoline you slimey little SOB.
You're simply evil and that's all there is to it.
Are you embarrassed enough yet Connecticut? After "double penetration Joe", your state owes the Democratic party for years to come.
Um...who voted for Stalker Joe and thought that he'd be better than Lamont? Thanks CT :-(
Didnt joey say he was so proud that Al Gore picked him as a running mate , that it would of been the highest office held by a jew , is that playing the race card ??? I think so .
iraqhusseinconcilable @ 7:
I'll say it again as I've said this many times before:
McCain will choose Lieberman as his VP.
I'll now say that Obama will have to be very careful with his pick to counter that.
The embodiment of a FALSE-FLAG OPERATIVE.
Good Lord, can we stop complaining about these holograms and TAKE THEIR JOBS ALREADY!?!?!?!
Loserman reminds me of those slimy slugs I have in the garden
Lieberman is worst than a scab... hopefully he will lose the next election so we don't have to hear his whiny words anymore.
Why does he have ANY status or committee assignments at all?
Oh -that's right - it's the gormless democrats in charge, who haven't got the cajones to kick his sorry ass out of the party.
No Surprise.
couldn't have said it better myself. he is the most massive type of loser there is.

Nice going there with half the story.
What is it going to take to get Reid to throw this asshole out of the Democratic caucus?
We should thank Mr. Lieberman for saying that Mr Obama "A GOOD YOUNG MAN". That is what the country needs at this time a GOOD YOUNG MAN not a old man.
Sign the petition!
I guess I'd rather he put Republican delegates to sleep than Democratic ones.
