Joe Lieberman Is, Quite Simply, A Malignant, Vile Scumbag

[Beetwasher]

And a nasty, vicious little worm.

That is all.

[marmar]

1. You're far too kind.

[Octafish]

2. C'mon Beetwasher! You're being a little harsh on Scumbags.

Scumbags fill a function that benefits society.

[closeupready]

3. He is a part of the problem, yes.

But additionally, why was it that when Republicans controlled DC, they shoved stuff through without bipartisanship of any kind. Yet, Democrats can't do anything without knowing in advance that they have a filibuster-proof majority?

[Beetwasher]

7. So Dems Should Be Like Republicans?

No thanks. They march in lockstep like good little Nazi's, that's why they were able to ram through every piece of crap they wanted. Additionally, they had moles planted in the Dem party like Lieberman and Zell Miller who actively sabotage the Democrats.

[closeupready]

8. I guess if you prefer getting nothing done, then you can't complain about Lieberman

too much. He's just a scapegoat for the larger ineffectiveness of the Democratic Party, and I'm surprised that you don't see that.

[Beetwasher]

9. Give Me A Fucking Break

Maybe Reid should just take him out, huh? What the fuck do you propose should be done about the Senators obstructing the legislation? Huh, jeenyus? What should be done? Should they threaten his family? Should they take him out hunting and shoot him in the face? There's not much you can do unless you're willing to go all Cheney.

[closeupready]

18. You're funny; complain about Lieberman when he is only one of 100 Senators.

And he doesn't even identify as a Democrat anymore.

But I'm done here; enjoy your bitch-fest. :hi:

[Beetwasher]

23. So Jeenyus, What Should Be Done About Him?

You ready to get all Cheney?

[dmr]

28. Lieberman a scapegoat?

That's one statement I never thought I'd hear by a Dem.
:crazy:

[closeupready]

31. He's a whipping boy for the Democratic crooks in Congress.

4. OK, now

tell us how you REALLY feel about Asshat Lieberman:evilgrin:

10. That's him. He's also a whiny, butt-ugly, d-bag. nt

[davsand]

11. Am I the only person that still shudders to think of Holy Joe as Gore's running mate?

I ask this in all seriousness. When I stop to think about Gore having chosen Lieberman as his running mate it makes me feel sick to my stomach. We almost put that nasty shitbag one heartbeat away from the Whitehouse.


:puke:

12. From now on, he's Kapo Joe.

If he had been born a couple generations earlier in Europe, and been sent to a Nazi concentration camp, he would have been one of the "kapos" who sold out and kicked around his fellow Jews in exchange for an extra piece of moldy bread...

[Le Taz Hot]

15. Unrec

for trying to distract people away from what the Democrats are NOT doing. How many threads re Lieberman have we seen just this morning?

How about addressing Obama and his "we must have war to have peace speech?" How about the fact that the DEMOCRATS are talking about relaxing regulation on derivatives? Lieberman is a DISTRACTION and you guys are falling for it hook, line & sinker.

[Beetwasher]

17. Address Whatever The Fuck YOU Want, Einstein

Don't tell me what to post. I'll post whatever the fuck I want. To bad, Chester. Don't read it then.

What kind of idiotic comment is that? Lieberman is a distraction? Oh, because HCR is not important? Whatsamatter? Too difficult for you to walk and chew gum? If you feel distracted maybe you should consider that fact that the internets are too difficult for you to deal with.

[Le Taz Hot]

25. Woah!

Dude(ette), put the pom poms down and switch to Decaf. :shrug:

1) Either my name is Einstein or Chester but you really do need to make a decision here.

2) No one told you what to post, I was just pointing out the obvious purpose of the post.

The remainder of your answer is jibberish so there's really nothing to address.


Oh yeah, and for the cheerleaders: Yay! Ben Nelson! :eyes:

[Beetwasher]

27. "How about addressing Obama and his "we must have war to have peace speech?" "

"No one told you what to post..."

Sure sounds like you are.

Talk about jibberish:

"Oh yeah, and for the cheerleaders: Yay! Ben Nelson!"

What the fuck does that have to do with anything, Chester Einstein?

[Le Taz Hot]

32. That was a suggestion, not an order.

Learn to recognize the difference. Just as you have the right to post distraction threads, I have a right to unrec and announce why.

The Ben Nelson reference was a feel-good homage to DU's resident cheerleaders.

And "Chester Einstein?" Really? :eyes:

[Beetwasher]

33. I Have A Suggestion About What You Can Do With Your Suggestion

I could give a shit if you unrec. Only an idiot would care about that.

"The Ben Nelson reference was a feel-good homage to DU's resident cheerleaders."

As I said, jibberish, idiotic, non-sequitor.

[Jackpine Radical]

49. Sorry to interrupt a nice shit-slinging match, but

wasn't that "Norman Einstein?"

55. Ha!

[closeupready]

19. Beetwasher doesn't want constructive suggestions here.

Apparently. :crazy:

[Beetwasher]

22. What Do I Want Then?

I know what you want. You want someone to "do something" about Lieberman but you just don't have a fucking clue what that might be.

[ananda]

16. with apologies to all scumbags for the comparison.

;-)

[Bumblebee]

20. He is also assuming that GOP will win a bunch of seats in 2010

so he wants them to owe him big by making sure Dems will stand to lose even more if they don't pass the health legislation. I blame Reid and other Dems -- including Obama, in this case -- for being his enablers. He should have been stripped of his chairmanship a long time ago.

[Fumesucker]

21. And yet people who voted for Nader/LaDuke over Gore/Lieberman in 2000 are vilified here regularly..

Lieberman hasn't changed, anyone paying attention in 2000 could tell what he was like.

And Al Gore chose Lieberman as his running mate.

I personally like Gore but choosing Lieberman as a running mate was catastrophically bad judgment.

[Bumblebee]

24. For a good reason! They gave us fucking 8 years of Bush. Give me a break!

Gore at the top of the administration would have of course been much better and we would not be in the mess in which we are now.

[Fumesucker]

26. Actually the Democratic party gave us eight years of Bush..

By supporting a policy which disenfranchised one in six of the Democrat's by far strongest voting block..

Without that policy and the resulting disenfranchisement Democrats would have handily won Florida in 2000.

Can you guess what the voting block is and what the policy is that disenfranchised them?

[euphoria12leo]

29. Joe Lieberman is a disgusting POS

and worse. But what about Harry Reid? He said Joe was the least of his worries so I figured he would do something about Lieberman. Taking away his chairmanship is a start. So far he hasn't done one damn thing not even issued a threat that I've heard about. So I wonder, what is really going on with the Dems? If Reid doesn't do anything about Joe then I feel they're all in this together. It's a sinking ship and we're all going down with it. One third of Democrats say they won't vote in 2010 (hope I got that right) if that happens, we're dead. Not voting isn't going to help at all.


:think:

[joeybee12]

30. Hey I like worms! They serve a purpose...keeping soil fertile...

...what purpose does Holy Joe serve?

[blues90]

34. yes Lieberman is s freak yet many have a short memory here

I was Lieberman who took Obama under his wing when Obama became a senator and it was Obama who went to Connecticut in 2006 when Lieberman was losing and told conn people that Holy Joe was a kind man of the heart and deserves to be voted in again and it was Obama who put Lieberman back in the committee that Reid took Lieberman out of.

I don't have the time or inclination to post links just look it up.

[Fumesucker]

36. Well said, thanks for posting. n/t

[Beetwasher]

38. Oh, So It's All Obama's Fault!

I see. :eyes:

What a load of horseshit. Obama is not responsible for the dipshit's behavior. What should Obama do? Threaten to have him killed? Seriously, WTF should he do? Joe's on a personal vendetta and unfortunately because of the way the Senate works, he's in a unique position to fuck everything up just for personal kicks and there's not really a damn thing anyone can do about it unless they are willing to go all Cheney.

I don't fault Obama for being gracious initially. That's his style. If he was nasty to Joe would it have made a difference? I don't think so and you can't say for sure it would.

[blues90]

39. Oh come on. Obama had to know Lieberman and where he stood

Obama had no problem tossing others who threatened his campaign and Gracious has nothing to do with it. It comes down to who Obama supports , his DC buddies or the people, pick one. No I did not say Obama is responsible for Liebermans behavour what I did say was he allowed Lieberman his position and knew Lieberman and stood up for him all along.

[Beetwasher]

40. Obama "Allowed" Nothing

Obama wasn't making decisions about the Senate. That wasn't his job. Did he support Lieberman? Yes, but ultimately it was Reid's decision, not Obama's.

I don't fault Obama for being a gracious winner. I fault Lieberman for being a piece of shit.

The only people who blame Obama for this are people who want to blame him for everything and anything to begin with.

[blues90]

43. You just keep telling yourself that.

Why not do a search , look up Obama and Lieberman before the 2006 midterm voting and look up Obama when he got into the senate. Look up when Reid wanted Lieberman off the committy when Obama over road Reid.

Obama sets the tone and blame goes where it is deserved, just like any other president.

[Beetwasher]

44. Obama Can't Over Ride Reid

It was Reid's call. What fucking planet do you live on? Obama may have spoken up for Lieberman, but it was still Reid's call. Period.

And if they stripped Lieberman of his chair, it would NOT HAVE MADE ONE SINGLE BIT OF A DIFFERENCE NOW. It would change NOTHING. We would STILL be where we are. It's apparent Lieberman never intended to support this no matter what.

People who want to blame Obama are quite simply pathetic. Lieberman is responsible for his own fucking behavior. Period.

[blues90]

45. All you have is the blame Obama come back .

Fine, I could care less if you have no critical thinking to tap into. Live in your fantasy world. I have nothing more top say to you.

[Beetwasher]

47. LOL! Umm, That's All You Do Is Blame Obama!

And no, that wasn't the substance of my post. You ignored that:

"It was Reid's call. What fucking planet do you live on? Obama may have spoken up for Lieberman, but it was still Reid's call. Period.

And if they stripped Lieberman of his chair, it would NOT HAVE MADE ONE SINGLE BIT OF A DIFFERENCE NOW. It would change NOTHING. We would STILL be where we are. It's apparent Lieberman never intended to support this no matter what."

[DinahMoeHum]

35. I hate that fucking goniff. . .

and I would not shed any tears if something bad happened to him.

[ladjf]

37. He is first and foremost an opportunist. The fact that one greedy

person can so easily thwart the will of the American majority points out the terrible flaws in our Senate processes. If we can't do away with the Senate completely, we could , at least, set up the rules so that the majority party can vote up or down without the archaic and destructive filibuster
rules.

[samsingh]

41. you're being too kind to him

[librechik]

42. That's an insult to worms

[moondust]

46. Joe serving Joe.

I think Joe has read the tea leaves and knows this is his last dance in the U.S. Senate. He is now easing into his new job as a corporate influence peddler/lobbyist. He's securing his own future.

48. Remember Joe Lieberman was Obama’s Mentor in the Senate

Remember Joe Lieberman was Obama’s Mentor in the Senate
By: fflambeau Monday December 14, 2009 10:05 pm

Those who are up in arms over Sen. Joe Lieberman’s "veto" of the extension of Medicare should remember this. When Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Washington, D.C. in 2005, he selected as his mentor none other than: Joe Lieberman.

Here’s David Sirota writing about this, after discussing Obama’s stab in the back of the progressive Lamont in Connecticut and his stab in the back of the progressive Christine Cegelis (Obama backed Duckworth) way back in 2006:

54. So?

Makes what Liberman is doing even worse and more scummy.

50. I don't blame Lieberman. I blame Obama

End of story.

53. Stupid

End of story.

52. Which is worse - BEING the scumbag or empowering him? Lieberman SUCKS

and the Dem Party allows it.

Fucking COWARDS!
