WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Lieberman, I-Conn., will speak at Hagee's "Christians United for Israel" summit in Washington.

Will McCain have to reject Joe's endorsement now?

interesting sidebar - this has now moved from the blogsphere to the MSM....

1. Joe, joe, joe...why are you making it so difficult for us to not hate you?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

4. Gotta love Traitor Joe. He knows how to piss people off.

[notadmblnd]

2. Lieberman is such a tool

does he even know that the only reason that Hagee is "building bridges" between Jews and Christian Zionists, is to hurry up the destruction of them?

[jzodda]

3. This guy was sooooo close to being Vice President?

How how O how did this happen?

[AndyTiedye]

6. Liebeman Was their "Plan B"

If they couldn't steal the election for Bush*, then Gore would have been assassinated by "terrorists", providing the pretext for President Lieberman to attack Iraq and wherever else…

[primavera]

24. That one boggles my mind, too

Personally, I'm conviunced that Lieberpuke is actually a covert operative for the Repukes. His publicly-stated position in favor of accepting any and all unsigned, undated, invalid ballots from overseas military personnel contributed to the loss of FLorida in 2000 and he's been nothing but a Repuke supporter ever since. How on earth did Gore come to select this treacherous weasel out of all the available candidates for the VP slot? It makes no sense! :shrug:

5. Lieberman - the pathetic jackass needs to be removed from the party ASAP n/t

[IronLionZion]

10. He's an independent. nt

[Bjorn Against]

13. An independent who receives all the benefits of being a Democrat...

He needs to be stripped of his position on the committees, if he is not a Democrat then the Democrats do not need to allow him to chair any committees.

[IronLionZion]

15. Elect more Dems, then we won't need his vote on procedural legislation

because all it takes to get the benefits of the Dem leadership, is to caucus with the Dems on party line procedural votes.

Fortunately I think we will gain quite a few seats this time and make him irrelevant.

[primavera]

25. Here's praying...

He's had us over a barrel since 2006, able to blackmail Dems with the threat of caucusing with the Repukes and costing Dems the majority, and able to wheedle favors from Repukes by enticing them with the same. He's consequently got the solid platinum ticket right now and both parties kowtow to this loathsome traitor until he can be rendered irrelevant.

7. I couldn't be happier...

Hopefully, this will be the final straw for all those in my home state of CT to stop voting for this guy.

This should be his last term as Senator.

(yay!)

[DefenseLawyer]

8. In case of Rapture, this empty suit will be unmanned! n/t

[Dhalgren]

11. Joe's a Jew, no rapture for him!

He'll just have to burn in Hell with all the other Christ deniers (not to mention the Christ killers!)! I am an atheist so all of this shit is just funny to me - a little sad, but mostly funny...

:rofl:

[DefenseLawyer]

14. So you would think...

But look at the numerous videos of Holy Joe speaking to Hagee's CUFI Rapture convention and it would seem he is a true believer.

[Dhalgren]

16. Joe? Born again? The question must be put to him!

"Joe, have you been washed in the Blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Have you eaten the flesh of God and drank His blood?" Joe should be asked...

[MidwestTransplant]

9. Yes, he must reject and denounce Jomentum. As we know, in this campaign season, your pastors friend

is your responsibility.

[Bjorn Against]

12. So in order to build bridges between Christians and Jews...

Lieberman thinks we should rally behind a guy who thinks that Hitler was sent by God to help get the Jews to Israel? Yeah I'm sure that will work real well. What the fuck is Lieberman's problem?

[New Dawn]

17. Does anyone still doubt that Lieberman is a fascist, now?!

[fascisthunter]

18. Good..... He Needs to Convince the Right WIng that He's for Real

and this will fail as well. A turncoat is always a turncoat. Good luck Joe, and thanks for helping us destroy McCain's chances.

[eridani]

19. Maybe Joe's planning on being one of the 144,000 Jews left

--after the great battles in which all the rest of them will be killed according to Hagee and similar whackjobs.

[Joe Bacon]

20. He can't, UNLESS

...Wacko Hagee says that at Armageddon, all the Jewish people will be exterminated EXCEPT for 144,000 male virgins who will convert to Christianity. I think LIEberman doen't get a pass to be one of them...

[Virginia Dare]

21. He probably thinks they'll elect him King...n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. should he wait for pre-conditions?

[Imagevision]

23. It's only fair the public learns of the content being exchange between Joe & the pastor

[Ishoutandscream2]

26. Extra, extra! Holy Joe confirms he's batshit, religiously insane!

This is the icing on the cake.
