Joe Lieberman Responds To 'Lieberman Must Go' Campaign
Source: The Huffington Post

This week, Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films launched LiebermanMustGo.com, a website petitioning Senate Democrats to strip Sen. Joseph Lieberman of his powerful committee positions in 2009.

Lieberman still holds a top rank within the Senate Democratic Caucus as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The Senate Democratic Steering Committee needs to know just how much of a conflict of interest this is. That's why we created Lieberman Must Go.

Here's what you can do: Sign our petition today and tell the Senate Democratic Steering Committee to strip Lieberman of his leadership role in Congress. Then, e-mail this video to everyone you know and spread it on sites like Digg and elsewhere.


When asked about the new www.LiebermanMustGo.com Web site, Sen. Joe Lieberman said this afternoon that it certainly had the right to collect signatures demanding he be shoved out of his Democratic Party positions next year. But he said, "I think most people in this country are really tired of this kind of partisan politicking."

4. Well, what else would he say?
"I think most Democrats are sick to death of the way I'm sticking it to 'em at the same time I'm sucking Bush's dick?"

10. I'm not going to go for the obvious punch line that follows that question...
...I ALMOST did, but I stopped myself in the nick of time!

16. In a very indirect way, yes
Not mentioning him by name, specifically, but you're in the ballpark.

Now get out of the ballpark! Which part of "I'm not gonna take the bait" did you not understand?

:rofl:

25. OK, fine. If you want to perch on your non-bait-taking pedestal and be that way,
then FINE.

18. What a coinydik..
Publicans.com refers to the collectors that just recently fucked up a simple transaction of over 1,500 dollars to the State for back taxes dating back to 2003, and the State thoughtfully sent in garnisment warning to my employer, and said employer confirms that the said taxes were paid.

Idiots.

13. I don't like him one iota.
But at least he's out front with his turned-coat, unlike so many other Dems I don't care to mention!

Backstabbing pieces of elephant poop!

17. I think most Liebermans in this country are really tired. Period.
The photo in the OP supports my conclusion.

Spending every day reminding McCain which country he supports war with must really take it out of you.

19. An avowed Democrat supporting a far right Republican for president sure is non-partisan, Joe
Tell me, Joe, in 2004, when you were a Democratic Senator (supposedly) for real,
did you really vote for John Kerry, or is that just a nasty rumor people are
spreading around?

22. Tired of fighting treason? We have just begun this kind of politicking
He's a NeoCon Rim-licker.

We need to add 9 Blue senators to the total in Nov. and drop his sorry ass out on the cold cold ground.

23. Ignore Lieberman until the election is over. THEN we can act.
Edited on Fri Jun-27-08 04:20 PM by LiberalFighter
Let sleeping dogs lie until your ready to act.

The creator of the website do not understand the process involved.

28. Once again...will Harry Reid EVER apologize for sabotaging Ned Lamont after the primary?
If Harry had backed Ned like the Leader is supposed to back the ACTUAL Democratic candidate, HolyWarJoe wouldn't still be there.

Harry has to go as leader after we increase our majority.
