181 Reasons Not to Vote for Lieberman

here are the top 10:

1. Joe Lieberman has been endorsed by Ann Coulter, the nastiest, most evil, and sickest person in America. Ann Coulter is on record as blaming Jews for the Holocaust, supporting the murder of billions of non-Christians, advocating murdering Supreme Court Justices, calling the Jersey girls harpies, and saying that her only regret about Timothy McVeigh is that he didn't blow up the New York Times building. http://www.newshounds.us/...

2. Lieberman believes right wing medical providers should be allowed to deny emergency contraceptives to rape victims, callously says to rape victims "go to another hospital," effectively denying their ability to receive contraceptive drugs." http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

3. Lieberman gave 33 million dollars of public money to a pharmaceutical company a month after they hired his millionaire lobbyist wife Haddasah and put her on their board. http://salon.com/...

4. Lieberman favored federal govt intervention with Terri Schiavo, then says politicians should not get involved.

5. Sends Liebergoons to harass Ned Lamont's family, then denies it, then said the Liebergoons were well behaved.

6. Lieberman calls crazy right winger Glenn Beck a "good friend." Beck once stated "You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year." Beck has also said he hates the Katrina victims + fantasizes about burning blind people with hot coffee when they use Braille in public places. Lieberman goes on his show August 23.
