Lieberman’s version of oversight.
By on Dec 28th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Lieberman’s version of oversight.
According to Mother Jones, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, chaired by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), has conducted zero “proactive investigations into Bush administration malfeasance” this year. The Committee is known as “the Senate’s version of Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) Oversight Committee in the House.”

Every sinse the State Of The Union Bush/Lieberman Judas kiss, I’ve wondered how much Joe sold us out for. Or perhaps, what is it exactly that the Bush regime has on Joe? Something’s obviously amiss.

I’m going to have to disagree with that.
Unfortunately, our collective actions over the past several years has definately weakened my argument.
Too few people in this country are actually involved in the process, Voting, contacting their elected officials, etc. etc… I think it’s more apathy than stupidity. However, in the case of those that voted for this turncoat Lieberman, I’m sticking with Stupidity!
December 28th, 2007 at 12:20 pmLieberman has done more harm to America than Osama bin Laden. Lieberman reminds me of Judas and Benedict Arnold combined.

That’s because countless people have tried voting and contacting their elected officials… to absolutely no avail. It’s beyond that at this point. My advice is to stock up on ammo.

And how does this make him any different from other U.S. policymakers since 1967? We shouldn’t single out Lieberman for continuing what generations of AIPAC darlings have been doing for decades. If we want change on U.S./Israel policy, we need to look at the big picture.

Hmmm, cryptic and compelling in a sinister sort of way.
I don’t suppose you would be willing to clue the rest of us in, seeing as how you already offered the advice to “stock up on ammo”? I would just like to know whats coming, what disaster I need to prepare for.
December 28th, 2007 at 1:23 pmLieberman is very busy trying to make sure the US bombs Iran and Syria for Israel. That’s the job he has to do, nothing else matters. Just let the US soldiers die so that Israel can get Middle East land for themselves. If Lieberman could pull it off he’d have the United States bomb the Palestinians off their land.
December 28th, 2007 at 1:26 pmWhat’s the difference between Lieberman’s rheotric and Hitler’s rhetoric? Both of them have demonized people who’ve been driven from their homes and forced to live in concentration camps. Hitler did it to the Jews and Lieberman does it to Palestinians.

You have to be willing to keep up with the times even as you hold on to tradition.
December 28th, 2007 at 1:39 pmWe wear the brown ones to meetings and socials. The black ones when we storm villages.
Ah, I understand now. Hopefully the next time you and Joe fly-off somewhere to raze a Palestinian village and murder its inhabitants, that your luggage isn’t lost.
Could you imagine the outrage were you to storm the village while wearing the brown uniform?
December 28th, 2007 at 1:41 pmLieberman murders women and children the same way that Hitler killed women and children. Lieberman and Hitler incited others to do the dirty work for them. Actually, Hitler and Lieberman remind me of Bush and Cheney.
December 28th, 2007 at 1:42 pmLet’s keep it simple: Lieberman is a traitor to his country, and he should be tried and convicted for his treason, and receive the stiffest punishment for his crimes.

In the best tradition of the nazis which have gained such a presence in this particular thread, we have the statement of “trying and convicting” as opposed to trying and perhaps convicting.

Well since you rethugs have turned the country over to fascism it seems like all the guilty parties claim executive privilege and refuse to testify or if they do can’t remember an effing thing. Of course they don’t bother to hold trials for all the terrorists they are holding. In the old days before we became a fascist state they would have been “alleged terrorists” but Bushco knows a terrorist when it illegally seizes one and so no trials are needed. Just waterboarding and other kinds of abuse that are no longer considered torture.

Lieberman actually try to hold W accountable for anything relating to the Dept of Homeland Security, like he actually promised during his last general-election campaign?
Why, that would require a spine, something Lieberman doesn’t possess
But not to worry, Lieberman’s lips firmly attached to W’s ass no doubt hold him in good stead for the GOP faithful

December 28th, 2007 at 2:25 pmThis thread started as a nice “Lieberman is an Israeli-loving Jew traitor” and has gone completely off-track.
I suggest we get back to vilifying Joe for his pro-war stance and advocate for his trial and subsequent hanging.

I would say that you are wrong. Please show me any liberal blog site where you will be banned simply for expressing a contrary point of view, and within 30 minutes no less. That’s what happened to me at Redstate.
If you are banned from a liberal blog, it will be because you made a total a$$ out of yourself by flinging feces on the wall just to see if you could incite the other posters. Or, because you made unsavory comments like Jason saying that 3,800 American deaths means nothing.

Enough with this gibberish about impeaching Lieberman. For 1 thing, there has been no crime committed. Sinful and abandonment of the people’s wishes isn’t illegal. Too bad. Secondly, going after the smaller fish instead of the real perpetrators has become the norm for this regime. I’m sure the White House would simply write him off as a “bad apple” as the bus wheels chewed him up and oil, Halliburton, et al. continued to prosper.

I agree with you. And I would like to enfasize here that When I express anger twards the USA, does not mean that my feelings for its people are the same. You mention Apathy. I beleive one of the intentions of the 9/11 home made show was to acheive precisely that. And let me tell you that the World community feels the same, that is, We hate the USA’s foringner policies (they are dated) and we feel great simpathy and sorrow that you have to endure this transition from a DEMOCRATIC STATE to a FACIST ONE.

December 28th, 2007 at 2:46 pmBut you’re not at DU are you lobelessman? Most of us don’t even know what DU is or care for that matter. Is that all you pansies can do is whine all day? That is rhetorical, numbnutz.

Sort of defeats the purpose of arguing about who has more censorship on “their” blogs, doesn’t it?
Anyhow, let’s get back to the idea of unconstitutionally impeaching Lieberman because he supports Israel, or because he supports the Iraq war, or because of whatever.

Thankfully you cleared that up and reposted your capitalized rant once again for further enjoyment.
December 28th, 2007 at 2:48 pmAre they still Nazi boots or did you mean to refer to them as “boots worn by a Nazi�

YES.

Actually that particular line was started by delafield who insisted that jdc and Lieberman were flying around the world in their Nazi uniforms and murdering people.
I just decided to tag along for a while, if for no other reason than to experience the netherworld that American democrats call home.
December 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmAnyhow, let’s get back to the idea of unconstitutionally impeaching Lieberman because he supports Israel, or because he supports the Iraq war, or because of whatever.
Comment by Lobishomen — December 28, 2007 @ 2:47 pm
Is the topic of this thread impeaching Lieberman, no it is not. You are off topic. I know it’s difficult but try to focus on the lack of oversight coming from Lieberman’s committee.
December 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmWe cleared that up too. I guess you were self absorbed again at that time.
Comment by justasking — December 28, 2007 @ 2:49 pm
Actually I am always self-absorbed and if you could see my good looks, you would know why.

But delafield isn’t here any more is he. You should try staying on topic or get the hell out of here.

Too bad you can’t fix stupid. Looks are definitely not everything.

Sorry about that, it was hard to focus on the topic when the first few posts spent their time referring to Joe as Lieberchimp, bastard, a tool and Lieberman (I-Israel).

Comment by Shayne — December 28, 2007 @ 2:56 pm
Don’t worry so much about your looks or stupidity, it’s the inner person that counts!
December 28th, 2007 at 2:58 pmSo you start talking about a Nazi uniform? And that helps the debate?
Comment by justasking — December 28, 2007 @ 2:58 pm
You must admit that the thread didn’t start well when the very first post referred to Lieberman as a tool or Lieberchimp. I figure if you guys are unwilling to police your own that you wouldn’t have much call to attack others.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:00 pmBut delafield isn’t here any more is he. You should try staying on topic or get the hell out of here.
Comment by Shayne — December 28, 2007 @ 2:55 pm
You seem to be spending an awful lot of time attacking me, shouldn’t you be taking your own advice and…well…stay on topic?
December 28th, 2007 at 3:02 pmHow would you know. You’re self absorbed.

True, but occasionally I deign to grace you with my presence.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:03 pmSee how tempting it is bilbo?
Comment by justasking
Yep, sometimes I can’t resist. But for the most part I do.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:11 pmOh my, you mean a private blog kicked you out for saying something they didn’t agree with? Wow, next thing you know, Hebrew temples won’t allow you to post your pics of Hitler on the wall.
Comment by Lobishomen
Redstate is private the way that TP is private. Do you see TP kicking you out of here after your first inane post? They won’t kick you out of here until you stink up the place to the point where everyone flags you and makes you go away. BTW, Jason, you can change your name but you can’t change your soul.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:15 pmWhy is this SO familiar. I seem to remember a Mr. President a while back blathering something similar to this…
Welcome to THink Progress, Lobishomen. Too bad you had to go all trollish on what appears to be one of your first threads. Well, if you act like Mr. President, don’t be surprised if you get treated like Mr. President.
Some points:
1) We refer to Lieberman by various putdowns on his name because we do honestly believe that he lies (LIEberman), supports Dubya who himself looks like a chimpanzee (Lieberchimp), and seems like he supports Israel more than the US (I-Israel). The democratic voters did not support him in his primary, but he was an attractive candidate for non-Democrats who supported him in his bid against the winner of the Democratic primary, Lamont. It’s not a far toss to make to assume that Conservatives had something to do with this as he does manage to divide the Democrats’ house.
2) If true, the assertion that his department has had no oversight over the President just confirms Democrat’s views that he’s pro-Bush. That’s the heart of this article. I agree — Lieberman may have been a liberal at one time, but something has happened in the last 7 years.
Maybe he’s been compromised by a Republican intel op like the one that Nixon pulled back before I was born.
Maybe they’ve got something on him, something damning.
Or just possibly he’s gotten hard, cynical, and Conservative in his old age, and he really should be a Republican.
Caucusing with the Democrats? He’s got something they want (his vote) and they’ve got something he wants (power for whichever purpose). They tell him to take a hike, he jumps aisles, and with Cheney’s vote, the R’s call the shots in the Senate.
I do believe Lieberman is a slightly Right-Of-Center Democrat today, with how he’s been voting lockstep with the Republicans. The Democratic Party has many such members. Unless and until the Dems get more votes, though, he’s a necessary evil, but just because he’s necessary does not give him a pass.
Sorry, trolls. The Democrats only have to tolerate him, not like him, and don’t be too surprised if he doesn’t join the Republicans in 2008 if the Democrats get their majority and tell him to piss off.

Comment by Lobishomen — December 28, 2007 @ 2:58 pm
That’s right and you just get in touch with your inner fascist after all you’re the only one who thinks it’s funny to be a fascist.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:51 pmYou seem to be spending an awful lot of time attacking me, shouldn’t you be taking your own advice and…well…stay on topic?
Comment by Lobishomen — December 28, 2007 @ 3:02 pm
Well you’re just so attackable. And if you want to spout stupid you should without getting attacked you should hang out with your fellow inbreds at Red State.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:53 pmTrue, but occasionally I deign to grace you with my presence.
Comment by Lobishomen — December 28, 2007 @ 3:03 pm
You wouldn’t know grace if it kicked you in the crotch.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:54 pmBTW, Jason, you can change your name but you can’t change your soul.

This guy has a soul! I don’t think so.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:55 pmFunny thing about Censorship and RedState… awhile back I went over there to have a look around and something got stuck in my craw, (don’t remember what exactly…), so I decided to post a comment (using the same handle as I use here) and I was banned before my post was even put up. Guess they didn’t like my name? ;)
December 28th, 2007 at 4:19 pm0r couldn’t handle the truth it implies?
TRRiRW:
Funny how that works, eh? We’ve all seen the liberals hate freedom type handles of trolls who post on here, and how hard it is to get trolls removed here.

Jews, the Church,and the History of the World
In this series, I will explain why Jews and Catholics have had such a rocky history and why Jews and traditional Catholics still have difficulties with each other (as groups) today. Most people who’ve been educated in American public schools, who’ve have had a steady diet of Hollywood, PBS, NPR, and the like, or who have received an education at the typical university, will end up with at least the “sense” of the following equations: Catholics=bad, Jews=good;
Catholics=persecuters, Jews=persecuted. They will end up acquiring a blend of very Anglo-centric, Protestant, secular, Jewish, and Marxist views of such things as the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the role of Pope Pius XII in WWII, etc. — views “supported” by wildly exaggerated statistics, omitting context, ignoring the Catholic view of these incidents, out and out blatant falsifications, and by simply not having a clear understanding of political theory (along with, in the case of members of Protestant sects, not having a clear understanding of orthodox Christian teaching).
Ignorance of the true nature of “Jewish-Catholic relations” goes deep. Very deep. Writing about it will involve revisiting over 2,000 years of history, taking what we think we know and turning 90% of it 45o right-side up. Just have an open mind and conduct your own research into the things I write about.
