Let me be more precise. Just shut your fking piehole. Forever. You useless walking, bloodstained pile of casual death.

Lieberman said that he would urge lawmakers -- including his "amigos," Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) -- to approve an action in Syria. "I'm sure that our enemies are cheering now as a result of this decision because they realize it's not clear the president will get authority, and our allies are worried," he concluded. "That's why, again, this resolution or something like it has to pass Congress."
Let us be clear. There is no blazing, murderous maw into which Joe Lieberman would not be willing to feed someone else's child. There is no fiery death from above that he is not willing to inflict upon children in a distant land. The man could care less about the dead. He'd feed on them himself, if he could.

Fk him with a Hellfire.

Now that my throat's clear, let's start the day.

1. "You useless walking, bloodstained pile of casual death."

Eight words that paint a complete picture of Joe (casual death) LIEberman.

[Fuddnik]

2. Pierce has always had such a nice way with words.

[spanone]

3. thank god he's out of office...he would 'urge lawmakers' fuck you joe

[XemaSab]

4. .

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Wow.

Righteous rant against the 2-deferment war hawk.

[liberalhistorian]

10. And the comments are even better

and generally right on the mark, and it was especially good to see that those of his former constituents who posted slammed him. It's good to see that the vast majority can see right through this hateful tool. I just wish CT had done the right thing and told him to go the fuck away back in '06 instead of voting him in as a "Joe, party of one" "independent."

His arrogance in not accepting his primary loss that year, and insisting on running anyway as his own party because, ya know, CT and the nation and, well, hell, the entire world, should not be deprived of his greatness and the little people just didn't know what they were doing when they voted him out in the primary, was simply unbelievable, even for him.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Most egregious was that he was a vocal anti-single payer shill.

And he threatened to filibuster a public option.

Good riddance and so sorry for the poor folks in CT who were duped.

[Blue_Tires]

39. If you want a good laugh

go digging in the DU archives and see how many big-name DUers of the time were unashamedly kneecapping Ned Lamont's race in '06 while carrying water for "Joementum"

(fun fact: a few of those DUers are still around today)

[dmr]

52. In all fairness, the majority of DU was anti-Lieberman

long before (and after) there was a Lamont.

There's always people with differing opinions. As a Liberal, it's hard to understand how other Liberals could support a war hawk and opportunist like Lieberman.

But, the majority of DUers were pro-Lamont who donated to and worked for his campaign.

[Oilwellian]

16. Someone referred to him as...

Rubber lips.

[Paladin]

6. Thank you, Mr. Pierce. A thousand times, thank you.

[Schema Thing]

7. my thoughts exactly.

And I lean towards striking Assad. But that doesn't make Joe Lieberman any less of an amoral shitstain.

[OnyxCollie]

Lieberman 2006: I Will Help Obama "Reach to the Stars"
http://crooksandliars.com/2008/08/31/lieberman-2006-i-will-help-obama-reach-to-the-stars

"As far as I'm concerned (Barack Obama) is a 'Baruch,' which means a blessing. He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America, and to our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country."

[magical thyme]

11. ok, I'm trying to eat breakfast here...

and I just vomited a little back into my mouth.

[truebluegreen]

15. Told me all I needed to know when Obama backed that piece of sh1t

over Ned Lamont.

[nikto]

26. "Reaching for the stars"=

"Reaching for the stars"=Bombing from the sky.

[Erose999]

36. I'm convinced they've dome a Vulcan mind meld. Obama becomes more like "clueless Joe" every day.

[valerief]

9. Mr. Pierce, tell us how you really feel. Don't sugarcoat it.

I wholeheartedly agree!

[grahamhgreen]

13. Why not err on the side of not killing for once.

[Dragonfli]

64. Because the only way to have a clear conscience is by killing others according to "those in the know

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023590911

[truebluegreen]

14. A heartfelt REC and shout out to Mr. Pierce:

Fk LIEberman with a Hellfire!

[Greybnk48]

17. I had a post hidden by jury yesterday for using similar language

on DU about someone I can't stand other than Lieberman. The gist of the comments about my post was that we did not want to lower the tone of discussion on DU to a level such as this.

I called someone in the news a "vile shitass," a term that was popular among kids in the 50's and 60's that meant essentially that someone was childlike or a baby (shitting his pants). It wasn't a Democrat, or a well liked Independant. I agree I should not revert to name calling in place of intelligent discussion but it happens. What is mind-boggling to me is how selective this site can be.

[MH1]

24. You didn't know about the Charles Pierce exception?

Pierce gets away with it (mostly), because he is just so damn eloquent in how he says it.

When you can write like Pierce does, and do it on another site, it will probably be linked to and quoted here and not be hidden.

But if Pierce has a userid here and wrote exactly the same thing, he'd be taking his chances like all of us.

Except that there seems to be a Lieberman exception too. So it would probably be fine.

[Greybnk48]

33. Ahhh. Now I get it!

Thanks for clearing things up MH1.

[MisterP]

53. "journoterrorism" and "these soldiers don't want us to go to war because they're racist" is allowed

[cui bono]

55. Also "firebagger" is apparently allowed when directed at fellow DUers.

But posts that are purely factual with no derogatory name calling in them, posts purely about policy will not only get hidden, but will get you banned from certain groups. I won't bog you down with the details.

[DirkGently]

18. Lieberman's another who can be counted on to be wrong.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Send GI Joe Lieberman in on the first Tomahawk missile!

He will wipe out the bad guys singlehandedly before breakfast and be back in Israel before morning break!

Lets pay for everything by raising Joe's taxes.

[Iggo]

29. You got my vote.

[unhappycamper]

69. Works for me.

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

20. That's my child he wants to feed

to the blazing, murderous maw. Fuck him.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. I was sure the headline was referring to Dick Cheney...

Or possibly even Bush the lesser.

[GoneFishin]

22. Awesome. Just awesome. nt.

[Little Star]

23. Good rant!!! I did think it was going to be about GWB.....

There's just too many useless walking, bloodstained pile's of casual death to chose from.

[nikto]

25. Joe Lieberman is a GHOUL

Dude's a ghoul, plain and simple.

He is all about DEATH.

[Scuba]

27. I appreciate Mr. Pierce's thoughtful essay on Joe Lieberman. It's spot-on!

[Iggo]

28. Killing people to save face.

Fucking asshole.

[polichick]

30. Is Lieberman still a U.S. citizen?

[rhett o rick]

31. Good. Thanks for posting. nm

[Phlem]

32. K&R!

-p

[TBF]

34. I thought this was going to be a post about death-threat guy ...

that's usually the kind of stuff he leaves in my in-box.

[Rain Mcloud]

35. (Paraphrasing)Said he would encourage his Amigo's to approve action in Syria.

Seems Lieberman is stroking a Saudi Murderboner.
Wonder if this is analogous to Dubyuh playing Kissyface with Prince Abdullah(all puns intended though not achieved).
For years Lieberman led a fatwa against video games even to proposing a constitutional ban.
Later when the Games industry outgrew Movies then he softened his stance.

He is finally gone from office after de-railing Al Gore's 2000 presidential and Energy Policy aspirations.
So what interest does he have for urging the war hawks to action against a country which has done nothing to us?
Humanitarian murder,that is the ticket!
Is this another Gulf War,to appease OPEC and the Domestic Producers?
Given the clues,sounds logical to me.

[Highway61]

37. Well said

Lieberman has always been nothing more a whiny, no good weasel.

[Blue Owl]

38. Time for Traitor Joe to go Cheney on yo' ass

[Ocelot]

40. Lieberman can go suck Prince Bandar's ass

As can ANYONE who's in favor of attacking Syria.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. Has Lieberman ever met an "Arab" that he didn't want to kill?

[Catherina]

42. Thanks Mr Pierce. Ditto for every single one of the death hawks n/t

[woo me with science]

57. [phone]

[bobGandolf]

43. Ha,ha thanks for that Lieberman comment.

It was perfect.

[kpete]

44. I like the way you lol, so here is more:

peace, kp

[emsimon33]

46. Love it!!!!!

[emsimon33]

45. Man oh man do I agree

Can Slow Joe just fade into the sunset or into a quiet grave? I had enough of him for too many years.

[Snake Plissken]

47. Lieberman's loyalty has never been the United State so why would anyone expect anything different

He has always put the interests of Israel above the United States, every single time.

Thankfully he's now irrelevant and no longer a lawmaker serving a foreign government.

[polly7]

48. K&R. And apply it to every one of the warmongers. nt.

[Enrique]

49. i knew this was going to be Charles Pierce

either that or E.J. Dionne. just kidding

[blkmusclmachine]

50. And yet LIEberman was our VP pick in '04.

[MH1]

59. He was?

psst. check again.

[libodem]

51. He and that soulless Cantor

Would dine on the bones of children, with glee. Having them pound the war drums shines a light on the source of the push to be involved in this conflict.

[Enthusiast]

54. When we evaluate Lieberman, as a man of principle,

we are left with the unmistakable conclusion that the fix was in in 2,000, no matter what happened in Florida.

Is there any reason to think things have changed since then?

We really do need to take our country back.

Don't vote for Hillary and get more of the same.

TPTB leave very little to chance.

[Denis 11]

56. I fully concur! {NT}

[Rockyj]

58. I love Charlie!

Well said, especially Fking piehole!

[sulphurdunn]

60. I think it is fairly obnvious

who Lieberman works for and always has. If we had a third conservative party Joe would have been a Likudnik.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

61. Somewhere in Connecticut.....

there is a yard missing its lawn gnome.

That's his proper job.

[indepat]

62. Sometimes get the idea that Charles P. Pierce must dislike Herr Lieberman almost as much as I

[lonestarnot]

63. Droopy Dog is just never going to go away. Pig.

[paulrandfu]

65. I thought you were talking about Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld

who opened his worthless fking piehole today.

[avaistheone1]

66. If our allies are so damned worried why don't they jump in and take care of the job themselves.

They are a bunch of whiny chickenhawk candy asses.

Joe Liberman is a sad joke.

[mimi85]

67. So articulate!

[rug]

68. Thank goodness for the quotation marks. For a moment there I thought I was in GD.

Oh, wait . . . .

[ElsewheresDaughter]

70. why the fuck is that evil fuck still talking...fuck you Holy Joe
