Reply #70: As opposed to making a lot of sh*t up?

All these threads about Lieberman running as a Republican is nothing but wishful thinking on the part of DU'ers who seeth and obsess over Liberman to the point of being psychopatic. As per traditional scapegoating strategy, you seek to dehumanize Lieberman by painting him as an "other." So naturally you ignore the decades he's spent supporting the Democratic Party, both in and out of office, and his lifetime of support for Democratic causes like civil rights and the environment. You either ignore the support he has received, and continues to receive, from Democratic office holders and unions in the state, or you dismiss this support as the product of some evil machination on the part of the evil puppetmaster Lieberman. The thought that a Democratic official or union leader could, out of their own free will, support Lieberman's reelection is something that simply declared beyond the realm of tolerable discourse. Just as scapegoaters of the past sought to deny the humanity of their targets, the DU community seeks to deny the Democratic status of Lieberman, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
