Have you ever noticed that whenever a "moderate" Republican disagrees with conservative positions, he/she is hailed by the media as being a "maverick?" However, whenever a Democrat offers a contrary view to the prevailing liberal line you will NEVER hear of the media applying the "maverick" label to this person. Usually such apostates are treated as kooks such as the case with Zell Miller or are just flat out ignored as what happened this week with Joe Lieberman. If a Republican senator had expressed opposition to the Bush Iraq policy, that senator would have been HAILED in the media and would be invited to appear on all sorts of interview shows. In Lieberman's case, he is being treated as a non-person by the media. Although ignored by the mainstream media, the DUmmies are looking upon Lieberman as a treacherous Emmanuel Goldstein. Yes, they are lined up in front of their computer screens screaming HATE in the direction of Lieberman as you can see in this THREAD titled, "'We Do Have a Plan' (Iraq - Lieberman)" as well as this THREAD titled, "Lieberman in Iraq - American forces will remain until mission complete." So let us now watch the DUmmies begin the Hate Week proceedings in Bolshevik Red while screaming at the screen image of Lieberman while the commentary of your humble correspondent, picturing Pied Piper Pitt as Inner Party Member O'Brien, is in the [brackets]:
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, just back from Iraq, wants President Bush to give the American people details about the progress being made in that country - from military triumphs to the proliferation of cellphones and satellite dishes. But Lieberman, D-Conn., who spent Wednesday and Thursday in Iraq, saw strong evidence that a workable American plan is in place. "We do have a strategy," he said. "We do have a plan. I saw a strategy that's being implemented."
[According to that Hartford Courant article, Lieberman is NOT in lockstep with the liberal Democrats. He MUST be tombstoned from the Senate!!!]
The plan is to kill off enough militants and dissidants so that the US armed and trained neo-colonial regime can more or less control the country. Although I'm sure in Lieberman's fevered brain this somehow means peace and stability.
[Shame on Lieberman for not defining the terrorists as "dissidents."]
Hey Lieberman, go F* yourself! change party already. Whining stinking bastard!
[You are hereby appointed as the Group Think Leader of the Hate Week Festivities.]
How do we go about kicking him out of the party?
[All who do not engage in GroupThink MUST be PURGED!]
he is really getting Dems in CT upset with his BushCo apologist rhetoric and a lot of us want him GONE
[Lieberman's failure to completely follow the Party Line is making you soil your diapers.]
How can he allow himself to be nothing but a tool for the Bush war machine?
[Rovian Mind Control?]
I always wondered what the pukes found while cleaning up the anthrax. what a great way to get access to all those offices and computers. By the way have we caught the anthrax mailer yet. No reason, he did his job well for the rePukes.
[I wonder if Karl Rove filed a 1099 form for the anthrax mailer's services?]
This is all about Israel wanting a huge U.S. military presence in the ME, and nothing more for Liebershitz. I can't blame Israel for wanting a big bully presence at their back door, so draft-dodger Liebershitz should just be honest about his intentions for BSing us about Iraq.
[You should be more subtle about your hate by calling Lieberman a "neocon."]
Anyone else see the need to purge the democratic party of undemocratic people? Sheesh, what's the use. I just need to move to a country with a somewhat honest government and an impartial informative press.
[You'll love the party purge policy of the People's Republic of North Korea.]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN?????????? He is blatantly propagandizing for this administration--and I want to know why. He came back from Dante's Inferno--and put a flowery glow on it. He lied. I want to know why.
[I repeat: Rovian Mind Control.]
No one I know, left or right, cares in the slightest what he has to say.
[Sorry to inform you but even though the Left is shunning Lieberman, the Right is enjoying the spectacle of him sticking his finger in the Liberal eye.]
Joementum is a tool for the RNC and right wing radio and sites such as free republic - no more, no less.
[And the DUmmie FUnnies! Don't forget the DUmmie FUnnies.]
What was Gore thinking when he went with him as VP?
[What was Gore thinking when he stuck his tongue down Tipper's throat on a convention stage?]
Lieberman is the root of all evil, imho. If Gore hadn't chosen such an asshat as his V. P., then the election wouldn't have been close enough to steal. Good God, he's an idiot....
[Yeah. Lieberman FORCED Gore to act like a shmuck at the 2000 debates after painting Gore's face orange.]
Worst. VP Choice. Ever.
[How about Jack Kemp?]
Joe, shut the f*ck up already, we are all tired of your wanna-be repube... bullshit. that man is a failure and a disgrace to the Democratic party.
[A disgrace to the Democrat party? Sounds like an endorsement for Joe to me.]
Not a popular truth but AIPAC just shovels the money at their whores in both parties.
[Psst! The proper term is "neocons."]
He's just Zell Miller without the spittle and the bulging forehead veins.
[But Zell has better hair.]
Joe is an infiltrate and Uncle Tom for the Republicans. Notice how they trot him out in those most desperate of times to do his best performance of a Democrat. Im sure the 'establishment' shoved spoiler Lieberman on the 2000 ticket. Joe Lieberman is a murderer and a war profiteer. The blood is now on his hands as well.
[Fortunately, spoiler Kerry was shoved onto the 2004 ticket.]
Out of all the people that get sliced & diced here at the DU, Holy Joe gets it the worst. The threads are a mile long, and they are funny. I've never laughed as much as when I've read them.
[Me too. Drooling DUmmie hate-filled spittle is always good for laughs.]
Look how Zarcowi (sic)apologized for hurting jordanians at a wedding.
[Even "Zarcowi" is more beloved in DUmmieland than Lieberman.]
The mission for Joe is the protection of Israel. Will it ever be completed. Israel will not behave towards it's neighbors thus the only solution seems to be the destruction of it's neighbors which Israel's leaders have called for since it's 20th century inception. Look at the quotes made by all of the Israeli leaders since it was created by Britain....they have threatened the death of their neighbors for decades...how will the mission EVER be completed?
[Psst! Say "neocons." Much more polite.]
Dear Joe, please go to Iraq and personally oversee the mission...because you are f*cking useless as a Democratic Senator over here and the cost to our party of your constant right-wing enabling is simply catostrophic...
[Simply "catostrophic" for Liberal GroupThink.]
Is that you, David DUke?
The libtards at DU really take the cake. When Bush had a giant approval rating, they couldn't care less. Now that its low (mostly due to undersampling Republicans) they act like it is the most important thing ever. Too bad Bush doesn't stick his finger in the wind like their adulterous hero.
These guys are scarier than usual today. I suppose they have a source for this kind of charge?
I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL !!!!
That was just not necessary.
Lieberman is the root of all evil, imho.
I like this 'unhinged' quote best. Michelle nailed it. I suppose this Stalin wannabe would have made Lieberman disappear by now. Paranoia is always entertaining as long as the paranoid is powerless.
"Guaranteed to pull at least 40% of the vote."
Sad, but probably true.
FReeper joe_mentum prepares to log in:
Algore knows a good kisser when he sees one:
Is that you, Geraldine Ferraro?
What happened to PNAC?
I checker her profile at DU -- but I get:
ERROR: No such user profile
The user has disabled his/her user profile.
Hmmmmmm.....
Oh yeah. I forgot about her. However, Jack Kemp was a really lousy VP candidate. In his 1996 debate with Algore, he basically apologized for being a Republican.
"US armed and trained neo-colonial regime.."
What? Do these twits just sit around all day making this crap up?
ATTENTION DU LURKERS!
You are by far and away the biggest bunch of non-functioning idiots, the most useless of space-takers, and the largest waste of air on the face of the Earth. Please kill yourselves at the earliest opportunity. You'll be glad you did when the Rove anti-twit machine is finished!
I don't think she's a DUmmie. The Leesa Martin I googled is director of market research for Nationwide insurance, if that's her. Which would make sense since another interviewee was a guy that worked for Nationwide. I don't see how she'd have time, especially since the Ins co lists her as "Mrs."
But I will say the NYTimes article really isn't that negative. The headline is misleading. The article has several people with positive comments.
Overall I think it's just a bland boring article.
"Hurting"? "Hurting"?????????
How about "killing" and "maiming"? Call it what it is!!!! I suppose that just because "Zarcowi" apologized, that makes everything OK. Geez.
Ummmm...I thought it was the other way around. Silly me.
