Bush insinuates that Obama is a Nazi appeaser, Lieberman agrees.

[dailykoff]

Just heard it on NPR. Bush apparently said it in Israel. Biden called Bushler a disgrace. Looking for link now.

How much more obscene is this circus going to get before somebody finally shuts it down? :banghead:

1. Of course Lieberman agrees.

I would have died of shock if he didn't.

[anigbrowl]

3. What a jerk that guy has turned out to be. to think we almost had him as VP.

I'd give anything to hear Gore unoload on him.

[redstate_democrat]

2. Lieberman is a disgrace. What is WRONG with him?

How could he DEFEND GEORGE BUSH of all people? I know he is a neo-con, but damn, does he not ever want to be reelected?

[Kool Kitty]

7. Oh, he's not worried about that.

The repigs put him in this time, they'll elect him again.

[Jawja]

28. Lieberman is a Zionist foremost.

That's why Lieberman supports the Bush-Cheney criminal invasion of Iraq and that's why he is supporting the "saber rattling" toward Iran. Lieberman's chief interest is Israel, not America. He has the same loyalties as Pearle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Kristol, and all of the other Zionists who have influenced American foreign policy.

So if George W. Bush goes way out into left field to invoke Nazi Germany to an Israeli audience, Lieberman is going to be one of the first to agree and applaud.

[casus belli]

4. I smell a McCain/Lieberman ticket brewing.

And I hope to God I'm right. Not only would the ticket stand exactly no chance in hell of winning, but it might actually give Lieberman's supporters the reason they need to show him the door finally. Funny that Carville sought it fit to call Richardson "Judas" for his betrayal. Lieberman's has been a far worse betrayal.

[BlooInBloo]

5. There's not the remotest chance of that.

[anigbrowl]

23. Oh I don't know. The Republicans are going in for masochism in a big way lately

It would certainly a sight to see. But I think Mittens is a more likely VP choice. The righties find him tolerable and like his business record.

[boppers]

8. Hm.... Judas took the fall for task of letting the messiah fulfill his destiny?

Lieberman's pieces of silver might not be looking too shiny right now, but if it fulfills the wishes of his prophet, what's he gonna do?

[casus belli]

10. I don't think Lieberman is out to benefit anyone except Lieberman.

He's already proven he is incapable of considering anyone but himself. McCain probably sees him as his ticket to the Reagan Democrats and undecided moderates. Lieberman most likely would see only his own chance to fulfill a destiny I'm sure he thinks he deserves.

[boppers]

17. Oy.

Okay, With Lieberman as McCain's VP, we'd have a "black" dude, a "rich white" dude, a "jewish" dude...

Maybe Obama can pick a "hispanic lesbian" VP choice, and we can turn the whole freaking country into GD : P overnight. Non-stop epithet and codeword slinging, barely masking underlying prejudices.

That'd be.... fun. Sort of like how chewing on aluminum foil while being tasered and splashed with monkeys flinging their poo is fun.

[Franks Wild Years]

26. A plan which would be destined to fail.

He positions himself as some sort of savour of Israel, the ultimate Jewish authority but the truth is simple: He's a right wing shill. A deplorable, war-mongering nutcase. Let me tell you now, the vast majority of Jewish people I know are repulsed by the man so even if McCain picks him as VP I think it unlikely to make a significant difference. I quote a friend: "In so many ways, he's the living embodiment of a far-right charicature of a Jew! He even manages to look like a stupid cartoon. I SWEAR he's on a drive to set us back decades."

[MrModerate]

11. I'm licking my chops at the notion of McCain/Lieberman . . .

I think they're really 1) desperate enough to try something as wacky as that and 2) deranged enough to think it'd work!

[casus belli]

16. The idea of Lieberman losing on two party's presidential ticket...

almost makes up for the sting of his loss on the first. Almost.

[Tesha]

29. The Republicans would never be so stupid as to do that.

While Lieberman is a highly useful fool for them, he
is also a Jew and the Republican racist, fundagellical
base would no sooner vote for a Jew than they would a
Muslim. McCain/Lieberman ain't gonna happen. Lieberman
*WILL* campaign extensively for McCain, though, because
Lieberman is a useful fool.

6. "Lieberman agree". What a suprise!

:rofl:

[dailykoff]

12. They've got the whole PNAC circus out dog whistling.

Glad I'm not a dog. :mad:

[Catherina]

14. DLC siding with their PNAC friends. What another suprise!

There's no time like the present to flush them out though. What's that old saying? Better late than never?

[dailykoff]

19. Very good idea.

Here's a little contribution to the cause. :hurts:

9. "Bush vs. Obama: War of words"

Sen. Barack Obama accused President Bush of "a false political attack" Thursday after Bush compared negotiating with terrorists today to World War II appeasement -- early salvos in a general election presidential campaign that's quickly heating up.

Last update: May 15, 2008 - 11:15 PM

President Bush used a speech to the Israeli Parliament on Thursday to denounce those who would negotiate with "terrorists and radicals" -- a remark that was widely interpreted as a rebuke to Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential contender, who has argued that the United States should talk directly with such countries as Iran and Syria. The White House said his remarks were not aimed at the senator, though they created a political firestorm in Washington nonetheless.

The reaction

Other Democrats leapt to Obama's defense, among them Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois. "The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water's edge," Emanuel said in a statement. "President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head."

White House press secretary Dana Perino said the comment was not a reference to Obama. "I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you -- that is not always true and it is not true in this case," she said.

Best link I could find.. all the other ones are busy. This must be burning up the wires.

[Carrieyazel]

13. Shrub is irrelevant. Why are you paying attention to that soon-to-be gone clown.

Few others are. Democrats are running against McLame, not Shrub, not Deadeye Dick, but J. McLame.

[dailykoff]

15. If we could get the damn GE started we would be.

Meanwhile we've got wall-to-wall Clintonitis. :mad:

[Hutzpa]

18. Did Lieberman know what appeaser stands for?

because he was quick to come to the defence of *'s comment.

[dailykoff]

20. I'm sure he approved the script.

Dumya can't even take a leak without permission except when he's home in Waco.

[Hippo_Tron]

21. Democrats should've thought twice before supporting Lieberman in the primary

[Boz]

22. It does demonstrate a larger picture, if it quacks like a duck, it pretends to be a democrat

There is a group of people with like minded goals and like positions, that dont fit the two parties, left or right, democrat or republican, but they have the same positions and pretend to be either.

Thats how Bush got in pretending to be religious, and McCain pretended to be a maverick and Lieberman and Clinton(both Bill and Hillary) pretended to be democrat.

They are ALL centrist corporate carpet baggers and ALL have the peoples interest second to their own.

Wake up, theyre all quacking. FUCK EM, power to the people.

[MrSlayer]

24. Right on the head. The neos are in both parties.

Neo-Con, Neo-Lib. They claim the social issues of one of the two parties but they have the same business goals.

[anigbrowl]

25. Yeah...well, at least we learn from our mistakes.

Watching Lieberman babysit McCain in Iraq was fucking surreal. I think he wants to be Cheney 2.0.

[ruby slippers]

27. Bush = Prescott = grandfather = Pfizer = funding = Holocaust

just some stray guilt, I think, in his statements.....
