		<description>&quot;Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States.&quot; - Joe Lieberman

I am thrilled to death that men with loads of experience are protecting us; otherwise, we might become involved in an unnecessary and expensive war and a small nation might use our military and resources to fight its wars. We might neglect our childrens&#039; health care and education. These experienced leaders have also undermined the rule of law, and eviscerated the Constitution. I cannot speak for others, but their experience is a wonder to observe in action.</description>

One nut job per century? Then who on earth should the democratic presidential candidate be? That would exclude the black equivalent of the kkk - Obama and his clan.

That’s right. I called him a racist. But racism in reverse is socially and politically exceptable, correct?
____________________________________________________________

You must be a relatively new troll, so I will explain a couple of fundamentals you need to know in order to participate here.  The droppings you left won&#039;t be taken seriously because A) they are off-topic, and B) you are merely flinging poo around without anything of substance to back it up.

No, racism is never acceptable (and that&#039;s how you spell it, by the way), whether it&#039;s white vs. black, black vs. white, or any other kind.

But Obama is bi-racial, half black and half white.  Which half is exhibiting the racism?  And against whom?  And what are your irrefutable examples of this racism?

I&#039;m just trying to help you make a coherent, intelligent argument to back up your point.  If you really want to pursue this line of discussion, I recommend you post your response in the ThinkFast thread.  That&#039;s generally considered an open thread.  This way, you don&#039;t drag other threads off-topic.</description>

when Obama institutes voting “tests” for white people, then you might have a case for claiming ‘racism.’ Til then, not so much…&lt;/em&gt;

Amazing that all these small minded racist  come  out  of  the  woodwork  and  project  their  own  racism  upon  Obama. 

Not surprising  though.</description>

		<description>Unlike everyone else here who just shoots bile at the guy, try to remember what you thought of him in 2000.  I really liked Joe, especially seeing the coverage the day he got &#039;the call&#039; from Gore to be his VP.  It was inspirational.  

Now I see someone who&#039;s going out of his way to help Republicans, and I can&#039;t figure out why.  It&#039;s not because Democrats went against him in his reelection campaign, because his views had already changed by that point.  What brought him to that point?  Is he just looking for attention?  Was 9/11 really that big a turning point for him?  Other Jewish people didn&#039;t suddenly fall in behind Bush after 9/11, why did Joe?  

It&#039;s clear that the guy has lost his marbles.  I just hope he doesn&#039;t totally betray the party he&#039;s been affiliated with for decades and speak that the Repub convention, like that other lunatic from 2004 (ol&#039; whatshisname).  

This sort of thing makes me more sad than angry.  Defending Hagee is something no rational person, let alone a Jewish person, would do.</description>

		<description>LIEBERMAN: &lt;em&gt;&quot;...I don&#039;t know of anybody who has been more committed to Israel, more against anti-Semitism and worked harder to build bridges between Christians and Jews than Pastor John Hagee.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

&quot;Anti-semitism&quot; as in the &quot;new anti-semitism&quot; encompassing all criticism of Zionism and Israeli occupation?

And which Christians and which Jews Joe? Hagee only builds bridges between a small group of like minded influential rightwing Christians and Zionist Jews. Wheres the bridges to the tens of thousands Palestinian Christians suffering under Israeli occupation? 

Besides whats urgently needed today is not bridges between Jews and Christians. But bridges between the West and the Muslim world, bridges Hagee works relentlessly to burn</description>

		<description>Does anyone take Lieberman seriously anymore? Democrats don&#039;t, Republicans don&#039;t. Even Jews don&#039;t like Lieberman that much, He should just stop talking.</description>

		<description>Hey Joe, since you are an Orthodox Jew, let me fill you in on the fundy support of Israel. All they see is a runway for the landing strip for Jeebus coming back. Once he&#039;s there, they will throw you into their Revelations firepit for not bowing to him as the Savior. So Joe you go ahead with this shit. On Judgement Day, you can plan on being in Hagee&#039;s barbeque...as the roast, not the guest.</description>

		<description>All right class listen up! Today’s word is “progress”. Use whenever referring to “working”. Ex: “We are making progress. The Surge is “working”. The Surge is working in the sense that it has stalled Americans for another couple of Friedman Units. When one pays off his enemy not to kill him, while at the same time giving “Stand Down” orders to one’s military casualties will go down. No “Search and Destroy” missions and hanging out at the bases nearly guarantees one’s safety considering that the murder rate in Birmingham, Alabama is over twice that of Iraq explains why some things are thought of as relative.

Why would Americans want to win a war that their country should not have gotten into in the first place? This is not about winning or losing; it is about ending a stupid foreign policy and embarking on a more targeted intelligent one. It also means taking responsibility for the deaths of nearly a half-million Iraqis. It means caring about the children with an illiteracy rate of 92% and most of them are suffering from PTSD. It means that all those who could and the most talented Iraqis left the country, leaving it in the hands of the least competent. It means two to three million refugees. It means a population in which most of the male labor force is dead, in poverty, fighting with the insurgents, or has lost their mind. It means no means of food distribution, clean water, and electricity four hours per day tops. It means being occupied by foreigners in more ways then one.

On all the cable and broadcast networks progress and “is working” have been repeated hundreds if not thousands of time. All of them chimed in at once, without skepticism, critical thinking, doubt, or learning from past experience. In other words it is deliberate.</description>

		<description>Joe Lieberman, a Jew, worships a man who would be fine with the destruction of Israel? Huh. And I thought Joe &amp; others were pissed off at the president of Iran? Guess not. They obviously all think alike. Spit.</description>
