Lieberman: Good Question To Ask If Obama Is A Marxist

Think Progress:

In his New York Times column today, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol claimed that Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) now-infamous "bitter" remarks sound like Karl Marx's "famous statement about religion." On the Brian and the Judge radio show today, Fox News' senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano asked Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) if Obama is "a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case?"

"I must say that's a good question," replied Lieberman, before stepping back to say that he would "hesitate to say he's a Marxist":

Wait, you forgot somebody for when there is no teleprompter in sight: Lieberman

McCain / Clinton / Lieberman '08

manage-a-trois / ala cascot, with a cherry on top

Lieberman can also serve as McCain's fern policy altweisser and whisper sweet nothings into McCains ear while having a map to point to wherever he goes. He will simply say to McCain's ear, now, these are the bad guys, these are the good guys. Now, these can have nuclear facilities, these cannot. These cannot violate Geneva Conventions, oh, but these can. These can't violate UN Resolutions, but these can. These can accept the latest made US weaponry, these can go fly a kite.

And the world will be all a happier place; once the nuclear dust has settled.

Forget global warming. What the world will experience here will be more BANG for the failing buck.

Hmmmm.... -maybe shoulda said: ...with a Cheney on top

Gee, Joe, why should we care what a couple of Likud fascists have to say?

[SeriousBlack]

And Joe Lieberman is not a polygamous, cross-dressing, serial killer.

As far as I know.

[PioneerKing]

Who's Joe Lieberman? Is this guy the former democratic senator from Connecticut? Is this the guy who's Sen. McCain's puppetmaster? Is this the guy who's bitter because he didn't get selected as Sen. Kerry's running mate? Whoever, he is Lieberman is so irrelevant that his constituents don't even care about what he says.

Who's Joe Lieberman? Can you say "J-u-d-a-s"?

Obama Rallies State Democrats, Throws Support Behind Lieberman
from March 2006

HARTFORD, Conn. –U.S. Sen. Barack Obama rallied Connecticut Democrats at their annual dinner Thursday night, throwing his support behind mentor and Senate colleague Joe Lieberman

…”The fact of the matter is, I know some in the party have differences with Joe. I’m going to go ahead and say it,” Obama told the 1,700-plus party members who gathered in a ballroom at the Connecticut Convention Center for the $175-per-head fundraiser.

“I am absolutely certain Connecticut is going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate so he can continue to serve on our behalf,” he said.

…Lieberman became Obama’s mentor when Obama was sworn into the Senate in 2005. They stayed close at Thursday night’s event, too, entering the room together and working the crowd in tandem.

Lieberman is one sick puppy. He is just another one of the Bush Nazis.

" "I must say that's a good question," replied Lieberman, before stepping back to say that he would "hesitate to say he's a Marxist":"
The real question is ~ is Lieberman a supporter of the Bush fascist, neo-con empire!
Communist, Liberal, Socialist and Leftist do not mean spit in todays world. The only real difference of importance is the future of the "haves" and the "haves not." All other distinctions are illusionary!

[moonwatcher]

We have just watched eight years of an imperial Presidency. A man who thinks very little about the average American. I man who sent our country into Iraq. I doubt that President Obama could do more damage to this country than Bush or LIeberman.

[BrighterStar]

I think that is a good question. He has the most liberal voting record in the senate. He comes down on the leftist side on every issue he has had to vote on. At no point has he ever said, “that is to far to the left for me to go.” He also tends to surround himself by radical leftists like his minister. His words are devoid of substance and his actions show he at least leans to Marxism.

[GOP4MoreTears]

Blackhole vitriol, seems your not so bright, give us a break.

[BrighterStar]

If that silly little statement is the best you can come up with you are just making my point. It is becomming clear that Obama's empty rhetoric is hitting home with people like you who seem unable or unwilling think.

[SeriousBlack]

At no point have I ever said, "I do not want to be hit by a bus."

I guess I actually want to be hit by a bus, hunh?

Fabulous logic.

[BatMasterson2]

Better question, Has Lieberman lost his ffing mind? He is absolutely the most whiny sounding man I have ever heard.

[IRIE]

AIPAC Stooge

[Manx]

Sounds like Lieberman is close to resurrecting that old invective, "pinko-commie-faggot." Lieberman is such a sub-human, it wouldn't surprise me.

I don't think you'll ever find Obama on anything as socialized as a kibbutz. That's Lieberman's territory.

[fourex]

Would Iago drip with envy watching Lieberman?

[supergranny]

Will someone PLEASE CHANGE LIEBERMAN'S DIAPERS!?! My god that whining old lady has got to be the most transparently insincere save Israel from it's reality whore we have ever had. How that worthless crybaby has gotten this far is astounding.

[Opus007]

Do you notice that in the Democratic Party the DLCers Like Lieberman and the Clintons are always the problem?

[bobo209]

Lieberman will become a WEDDING SINGER IN A CENTURY VILLAGE IN FLORIDA. HAWANIGILAHAHEHEHOUIIVEYY.EYECON ENOUGH WITH THAT ANTISEMITE CRAP..U CANT HIDE BEHIND IT..

[lowry99]

to people like you the only good Jews are ones who jump into the ovens themselves.

[GoodwithWood]

You can't hide behind it either.
