I want revenge

[cali]

I want revenge on that pitiful little creep, Joe Lieberman. In fact, I'm getting slightly obsessive about it. I knoe Reid doesn't have the spine or whatever to do anything about Lieberman, but I'm betting Obama does when he becomes President Obama. And I think he'll have the clout to push Reid to actually strip Lieberman of his committee chairmanship and maybe some of his plum committee assignments. And Lieberman has plenty of those:

"In the 110th Congress, Lieberman is Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which is responsible for assuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the Federal Government. In addition, he is a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee; Senate Armed Services Committee, where he is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Air Land Forces and sits on the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities; and the Small Business Committee."

It would be wonderful to see LIEberman forced out of the dem caucus.

1. I want revenge on the fuckwit electorate that gave him his job....

I hope in particular, that one day a Louisiana gets the chance to fuck over CT people. Really hard.

EDIT: Let's not forget how he got there:

10. Nice charts

I hope Lieberman gets thrown out of the Dem Caucus on his ear after November. The Democrats should disown him.

14. Thanks - took it from cnn...

38. Lieberman lied to them. He said he wanted the troops out of Iraq.

What a load of BULLSHIT.

He has as much integrity as Dick Cheney and George W. Bush.

[11 Bravo]

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I want that miserable shitstain stripped of his chair and every single committee assignment. Then I want his office space switched to the dingiest corner they can find. Then I want his key to the Senate restroom confiscated so that he has to wander over to a construction site and beg to use a Porta-Potty. And I want the construction workers to refuse.

[SwampG8r]

18. and he has to eat bad mexican food every day too

so he really NEEDS that portapotty!

[5X]

3. Almost sounds like lieberman is the one in charge.

Maybe he is telling bush what to do.

7. dangerous territory

any mention of Israel that doesn't support the status quo is lethal, semantically; but it's win win for fascism. They win because the insane cruelty used to crush an innocent people in the WW2 holocaust can legitimately be used to terrorise the Palestinians forever (and wage war on the arabs beyond that)
Lieberman is a war criminal, as bad as julius streicher, who'd be right at home at the Bushytail News network, and pals with joe...

[roguevalley]

47. I want Joe to be McCain's running mate. Can you imagine? HA!

McCain/Lieberman, the Unity Ticket. This would be the blow out election of the century. :)

[independentpiney]

4. He's out as long as we gain a solid majority in the Senate

which should be the case in November.Not out of the Senate, but I don't see any way he'll retain any committee chairs, or be accepted to caucus with the Dems. Then he can choose whether to finish his last term with an 'I' or 'R' behind his name.

[DeeDeeNY]

5. I agree absolutely

Reid made a comment on The Daily Show a few weeks ago that Lieberman votes with the Democrats on almost all issues other than the war. He's nuts!

:wtf:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

6. joe was Obam'as mentor I don't think Obama will do anything...but I agree with you 100% that joe is

a slimeball and I want to see him thrown out of the Dem party on his face!

[cali]

8. you know better. how disappointing. YOU know damn fucking well that

Lieberman was assigned to Obama as a mentor by Senate leadership when Obama entered the Senate. It was a nut and bolts kind of mentorship, not one of political philosophy. And as I said you know that, and that makes your post disgustingly disingenuous. Surprise, surprise. Or not.

You changed your little spots. Not really. You're still trying to slime Obama with falshoods even as you claim to support him.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. no I didn't know that and I see you still have a lot of hostility towards Clinton supporters

[Occam Bandage]

25. Hostility towards people who keep pushing misleading anti-Obama smears is expected.

[BlooInBloo]

16. There's 2 or 3 of them that you expect that from.

[SwampG8r]

19. i have seen 2 more from the old opposition

doing the same
they are tightrope walking but very very careful
they get you to respond and then put the onus on you
same crowd
smaller but the same
different methods but intending the same result

[AspenRose]

11. Well, after that "confrontation" Obama had in chambers with Joe

I don't think it's accurate to think Obama wouldn't do anything....anything's possible

[ElsewheresDaughter]

12. what was that confrontation about? was it about joe's endorsing McCain?

I hope it was and is there any articles or links about it?

[skooooo]

13. I think it was about..

....Lieberman's comments about Obama's speech to the that Israeli-PAC - raising questions about Obama's "loyalty" or whatever to Israel.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. okay thanks... I thought that was what it prob was about but wasn't sure

[dionysus]

17. wait... you're on DU every day and you didn't read any of the 10,000 threads on that?

uh-huh
:eyes:

[SwampG8r]

20. covering tracks is what its called

[ElsewheresDaughter]

24. ummm okay, thanks, Webster

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. I don't spend my entire day on here like some

[Occam Bandage]

23. You apparently spent exactly enough time to pick up each of the anti-Obama smears,

yet not quite enough to pick up that they were false.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

26. what are you talking about? ahh never mind... I see... it's a pile on the Clinton supporter thingy

so much for the unity thing eh?

was it just words?

[Occam Bandage]

27. ...

:eyes:

[SwampG8r]

28. you cant really ever

be a martyr if you light yourself on fire

:eyes:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. .....

[SwampG8r]

30. there you go let it all out

did you train the dog to do that?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

35. hey, it's your dog

[SwampG8r]

36. my dog is a beautiful

irish setter who doesnt do things like that
tasha was rescued from a miami shelter and she loves everyone

40. Obama has already confronted Lieberdweeb quite forcefully on the

Senate floor. My guess is that he has no love for the dweeb.

[Danger Mouse]

43. i seriously doubt that obama has any great love of lieberman.

[mcctatas]

21. Rise above it....

the best revenge is doing everything we can to increase the dem. majority in the senate and elect Barack Obama president. Besides, isn't the fact that he has to wake up every morning being a pitiful little creep kinda revenge enough?

[tritsofme]

31. With the way that the Senate works, I don't know how possible it is.

IIRC the organizing resolution that dictates the composure of committees, chairmanships, ect, carries over to the next Congress unless changed.

A change to the resolution meant to punish Lieberman could be filibustered.

[crankychatter]

32. there was a contest to nickname a deviant sexual act "Santorum" and now if you Google him...

...from now until the end of time... Google Santorum and you will be grossed out

we should do no less for Holy Joe

maybe mix and match... disgusting new slang definition for his name... and a permanent Benedict Arnold jacket to go along with it

[SwampG8r]

39. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[dailykoff]

33. So Joe is chair of the senate Anti-Muslim Propaganda Committee.

Figures.

[Bucky]

34. The best revenge is served cold. Let it sit till January and it'll have cooled off.

Seriously, you're taking your eyes off the goal. Man you station and quit jerking off. The game is the election and getting snarky about Lieberman, who the Dems are powerless to control.

He's not worth the effort.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

41. My desire for revenge extends to the CT Democratic Party

officials who supported and endorsed him after he lost the primary.

[Danger Mouse]

42. He will be in November. Even Reid is sick of the disgusting little toad.

[mdmc]

44. God bless Joe Leiberman

I am pretty sure that I am one of the few remaining supporters of Joe here on DU.

He is actually pretty liberal, with the exception of his hawkish bullshit.

But he is not a green, or a liberal, or whatever left leaning non-dlc democrats want to call themselves (progressive :eyes: ).

He wants to protect America, protect the corporations that make America great, and is pretty much the epitome of a DLC dem.

I am very proud that he is part of our caucus.

It really shows where we are as a party.

I remember when he was Gore's veep. Remember the Joementum vs. Cheney debate? My God! The two parties are almost identical! Yet somehow "progressives" blame Nader for Gore's defeat :eyes:

[Colobo]

46. Joe is a POS.

[invictus]

49. Ditto. n/t

[Cha]

48. lieman needs to be held accountable for

all his traitorous actions and his lies. lieberman is traitor to his country and to the Democrats of Connecticut who voted him in over Lamont.
