Lieberman Parrots Obama Hamas Smear

Election Central:

It was only a matter of time, really. If you ever doubted that Joe Lieberman would be using what's left of his "Independent Democrat" credentials to legitimize the GOP's bogus "Hamas endorsed Obama" attack, here he is on CNN doing just that...

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.

Joe, Thank you for your decades of service to the United States. We commend you for your independence, you are a true patriot.

Obama has associated with a terrorist whose organization bombed our buildings. I don't care when that happened, I certainly wouldn't associate with a former Nazi or al-Qaeda operative.

Obama's mentor is an anti-US racist. Obama associated with him for 20 years.

Who is the true patriot? Who has character and principles?

Pretty obvious to me.

Wright served his country in the 1960's as a marine. What branch of the military did you or Lieberman serve in? A true patriot has more going for him/her than just lip service, and has a right to criticize his government when appropriate. Wright actually fought for that right, too bad Lieberman can't say the same, maybe if he did, he would have a better sense of what a disaster and failure preemptive wars usually turn out to be.

[transendentilist]

"disaster and failure preemptive wars usually turn out to be."



Usually? This is the first time in US history that we have used "pre-emptive," military strikes. It's wrong on every level imaginable. It's like the cops coming to your house to arrest you because they "think," you are going to commit a crime.

Lierberman is the lowest form of gutter trash. Why does he have the respect of anyone in the senate I dont know.

[KOisGod]

Obama doesn't have to compete with Lieberman. Lieberman just has to open his mouth and all the evidence is there

Of a self promoting shill for Israel, and the first volunteer to fly the initial bombing run into Tehran. I bet he'll even volunteer to ride that nuke tipped penetrator all the way into the rocks.

Every one on this comment board has adequately expressed the contempt I feel for this treasonous Zionist piece of filth.

US Casualties to date: 29,395 wounded; 4,064 Dead according to Global Security.com.

This is real; this is what matters and for Senator Liberman to waste time and energy with some ridiculous attempt to insult our citizens by linking his colleague, Senator Obama with Hamas is inexcusable; campaign or no campaign.

On Friday past, I forced myself to watch a news story depicting a wounded veteran who has endured over ninety surgeries. His facial deformity took away my breath and for many of the medical services he required, his dad became his primary advocate to fight against our government to help this young man. This sophmoric bantering by our leaders and irresponsible goading of leaders from foreign lands must cease. Fortunately, when President Bush leaves office the cowboy mentality will end and we will return to an intelligent dialogue of our differences and end some of these hostilities.

After this November's elections, Lieberman will be inconsequential. Irrelevant. Persona non grata.

[JICC]

Joe, retire to a kibbutz, leave us alone. Chop-chop, get going.

[JessWonderin]

Lierman is an insult to America and an embarrassment.

Counting the days until he is reduced to a junior seat on the Senate Committee on Human Waste Disposal with no parking space . . .

[sierrarisings1]

These old school, back in the day REPUBLICANS are just mad and tired. They need new young people to step up in their party. It's time for them to go home.

[yeswecancan]

To all of the Connecticut Democrats, who abandoned your party's choice in the primary and voted for this clown, I hope you can be instructive to Clinton supporters that are threatening to do the same to Sen. Obama. You get no quarter from deserting your party out of vengeance. Joe Lieberman has been a hatchet man since he shivved Lowell weicker in 1988 by saying he was too close to Fidel Castro. He puts on this pious hair shirt and then delivers the nastiest bunk. It's not new, but instructive. Don't get fooled by these folks. And remember -- if you choose to hold your breath and "punish" your party's nominee, you might not get quite what you bargained for.

[abouttime]

Isn't Joe Lieberman the McCain ventrilloquest? You Know whispering in McCain's ear all the time. McCain is a Lieberman's puppet and needs him as VP.

[Tom95134]

Yeah, shaking the hand of Joe. You never know where it has been shoved to get MCain's lips to move.

[researcher]

he is a zionist and the really sad part most americans dont have a clue. we pay israel 5 billion dollars a year not to invade egypt. worst yet carter won a nobel peace prize for that buy out.

he knows mc war will bomb iran for israel. could he be the vp?

mc war wants a win under his belt to gain respect not of americans but his grandfathers.

well he picked the right country to support his war. bring on the fear and americans will war monger all you want. vietnam and iraq are perfect examples.

most americans did not even know who we were fighting in vietnam the viet cong at first.

nice going conn you got us another war monger with your votes. hey I live in az now so we are no better with our war monger senator.

to americans a gook was a gook or they called them charlie or gooks to dehumanize them. makes it easier to kill them that way. we killed over one million of them. aint we the good christians.

got to go time to go shopping at wal mart. love those cheap prices and they even greet you at the door. my goal in life is to be a wal mart greeter. dont know why. I used to live in ohio could that be the reason.

[Davwbaird]

Yes, lieberbenedict will be the "unity" VP of McCains, think about it. Time to disown the creep.

[Roose]

Another cretin who cares more about Israel than America and who thinks that our military should do Israel's dirty work.

[Balzac]

Lieberman is one of the most disgusting human beings ever to walk the earth.

[RageAgainstTheNeoCons]

Didn't Lieberman used to play Mr. Drummond on Different Strokes?

Phew. I thought it was Benedict 16 or whatever that's about...

[BadCompany]

These neocons confuse me.
I was under the impression that the terrists were crazy killers and we were not supposed to concern ourselves with what they think or want.
