Lieberman confirms he will speak at Hagee’s conference.
Yesterday, Max Blumenthal reported that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) is scheduled to be a headlining speaker at controversial pastor John Hagee’s upcoming Christians United For Israel Washington-Israel Summit on July 22. Though Lieberman’s close political ally, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), finally rejected Hagee’s endorsement last week, Lieberman confirmed to the AP today that he will still appear at the Hagee event this summer:
Sen. Joe Lieberman says he’ll speak at a July conference hosted by Rev. John Hagee, whose endorsement was recently rejected by Republican John McCain because of Hagee’s controversial remarks about religion.
Lieberman, one of presumed GOP presidential nominee McCain’s strongest supporters, said Wednesday while Hagee’s comments were unacceptable and hurtful, he will judge him on his life work fighting anti-Semitism and building bridges between Christians and Jews.

…he will judge him on his life work fighting anti-Semitism and building bridges between Christians and Jews.
Except Catholics of course.

I’ll bet the Nutmeggers have Ned Lamont Buyers Remorse.
May 28th, 2008 at 3:54 pmLieberman is a shame before the Goyim.

Nope. Real Christians like Wright get judged by a ten-second YouTube clip. Hagee’s ilk prefer the fake Christians who build bridges of hate between people.

And where the Hell do these bridges lead to?
Damn, I answered my own question.
Thanks Connecticut, and to think I was once proud to have lived there.

May 28th, 2008 at 3:58 pmBe fair, you have to invite everyone you owe your religion company to.
Jebus. Ol’ Joe is sure a piece of work. An anti-semitic Jew. A Republican who calls himself a Democrat – or used to, anyway.
Yikes. Freud would have a field day.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:00 pmSeriously – “building bridges between Christians and Jews” is such a perfectly apt metaphor for what Hagee does. Never mind that the Rapturists eventually plan to drive tanks over this bridge and destroy the world with Armageddon. Funny how Lieberman neglects to mention this part.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:00 pmA VP should have more sense than that.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:01 pmLieberman confirms he will speak at Hagee’s conference.
What better way to introduce a shithead than by having another shithead perform the introduction ………….
May 28th, 2008 at 4:02 pmhe will judge him on his life work fighting anti-Semitism and BURNING bridges between Christians and Jews
LIEberman is sucking Christofascist Kock to get the VP from Grampy McSame.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:04 pmI’m waiting for someone at one of these Hagee events to ask Joe if he has excepted Jesus as his personal saviour. The way I understand it is that only the Jews that turn to Christ will be spared the end o’ days wrath that is waiting for all those don’t convert.
It would be fun to see Joe stammer his way thru that one.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:08 pmPlease let Lieberman speak in a time slot sandwiched between Hagee and Parsley (or similar) saying all sorts of objectionable things. Then let Lieberman watch the YouTube clips as he runs for Veep.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:12 pmyeah, mofo, keep building bridges of hate. He forgets that Catholics are Christians. He is an idiot. Christianity is not a religion. Protestant religions are. Catholics are. Judaism is. The Muslim religion is. The idiot is an elitist, excluding and insulting the Roman Catholic faith. Sorry, guys, I’m Christian who happens to be Catholic. Don’t mean to lecture.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pmApparently there are some Christians out there who have a big problem with Hagee’s new book “In Defense of Israel”.
This review from a Christian website ends this way:
May 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pm‘These are the apostate antichrist teachings of John Hagee. He explicitly and repeatedly denies that Jesus came to be the Messiah to the Jews. John Hagee needs to repent. All faithful and orthodox Christians need to warn others of his false teachings.’
and I respect whether or not you believe the Messiah came and went but like don’t insult my belief, you know what I mean? he’s a political imbecile.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:16 pmI should write a book called, “In defense of Mother Theresa”
May 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pmwow, mary, that review is really interesting.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:22 pmIs LIEberman ‘the great whore’ Hagee was referring to? I mean, here’s a Jew who is going to address a Christian fundamentalist group that just compared Hitler to God’s servant?
WTF?
Joe, you’re on a slippery slope here. I know, you started sliding backwards about the time you were ‘outed’ by Democrats, but selling your soul to Satan can’t be good for your image, your career or your life.
Your 15 minutes of fame may well backfire on you, Joe…
let’s hope so.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:26 pmTie this around McIIIrd’s neck and throw it in the deep end.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pmHey, Johnny McHypocrite – HOWSABOUT A LITTLE GUILT BY ASSOCIATION???
May 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pmWhen I read the story a scene from a movie flashed before my eyes. Its the scene in Dr. Strangelove where Major Kong is riding a hydrogen bomb to the ground, screaming Yeehhhaaaa! all the way down. My vision, however, has that stalwart Repub..er Independent, Joe Liebermann, atop the bomb, yet still screaming with boundless entheusiasm. Its almost sad, yet irrepressibly funny to see the insane, innane antics they’re reveling in. Obviously its absolute idiocy, not pride, that cometh before a fall.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:34 pmImpeach Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!

But remember; Harry Reid says that LIEberman supports us (who is us?) on everything except the war. A politician wouldn’t lie, would he?

Back on thread – this is a quote from Lieberman made last July while addressing Hagee’s group:
May 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm“You understand that there is a difference between good and evil, between eternal and temporal, between Israel and other nations . . . . “
the link on that quote from Joe (I) in case you’re curious:

May 28th, 2008 at 4:42 pmJoe Lieberman, a traitor to Democrats, a traitor to all Jews and working at being the one of the worst Americans ever.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pmHagee is not about “building bridges” between Christians and Jews. He doesn’t even believe Jews go to heaven. His angle is all about protecting Israel from the A-rabs. If that should lead to Judgment day, then so much the better. Hagee will get his “Rapture” at the expense of everybody else. In my book that’s not a very Christian sentiment.
To further this goal Hagee constantly pressures various Republicans/neo-cons to increase aid and weapon sales to Israel. In his foolishness Lieberman deems this “building bridges.” I just can’t imagine how any “bridge” made from guns and money would be safe or sturdy.

Lucky for him he’s of the same political generation as Dumbya.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:00 pmDon’t you think there is still a connection between the McSame campaign and old Joe? Such a clever way of letting the base know they are still being catered to.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:12 pmWhat bridges are Hagee building between Jews and Christians in the occupied territories? Where are the bridges to the 100.000 Palestinian Christians suffering under Israeli occupation and oppression?
May 28th, 2008 at 5:22 pmBirds of a feather, flock together.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:24 pmMary, I think these people really are dangerous. To intertwine the belief systems of many and distort and disect scripture for personal gain is downright evil. To focus on Israel and fundamentalists who are focused on Israel and then to discard the rest of the world like say, for example, those 90 miles away in Cuba or Haiti even, that is an elitist.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:33 pmthe bottom line is: rapture or not, Islam, Judaism or Protestant Fundamentalism or Roman Catholicism, no one has a right to judge who is anyone to put one nation or people over others. that sounds like a Hitlerism to me.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:37 pmBy putting Israel first, they send the message that everyone else are second or in the Muslim people’s case, last if at all. This is the message these corrupt greedy ambitious freaks want the Fox news audience to believe because you just spoon feed it to them while they’re watching O’Rally.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pmLieberman is now a self-hating Jew who supports Israel, because he needs to kowtow to the likes of Hagee to make political headway for his own self-interests. It’s like in Lord of the Rings, when the Balrog and Gandalf fight in the seemingly bottomless pit, but Hagee and Lieberman hold each other real close and embrace the abyss.
So in-essence, we can call Liarman a “Rabbi Tom” because he is nothing but a sellout and one step away from cannibalizing himself for that lapel pin he so covets.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:14 pmHas Joe registered as an Israeli lobbyist yet?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:58 pmMossad Agent?
It’s simpler than all that. Joe Lieberman is willing to denounce all Democrats in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, but he won’t denounce Hagee because Hagee wants to bomb Iran too. It’s simple. Just scarier.
This is what it’s all about:

Is Joe Lieberman going to be the last person in America to realize that Joe Lieberman is a traitor? Joe, you are one pathetic loser.
