Joe Lieberman holds views similar to the racist Avigdor Lieberman (no relation), who is among those that danced in the streets when Rabin was assassinated.
Joe Lieberman is to the RIGHT of ruling party Kadima, the party founded by Ariel Sharon.
Joe Lieberman has broken every promise he made when he was made chair of Homeland Security Committee, including the one about investigating wrongdoing in the aftermath of Katrina.
It is up to us to let our Democratic senators know how we feel about Lieberman.Here is text of e-mail I sent to Evan Bayh using his website:
You and the other Democratic Senators are going to caucus next Tuesday. Lieberman will be the major topic. Obama's suggestion on keeping Lieberman in the caucus notwithstanding, it doesn't follow that Lieberman keep his chair of the Homeland Security Committee.
I don't care whether you vote to keep Lieberman in the Democratic Caucus or not. I do care about Lieberman retaining his Chair of the Homeland Security Committee.
Two reasons:
Lieberman Lends His Name To Fear-Mongering Documentary On American Muslims And Terrorism
By Justin Elliott - November 10, 2008, 4:56PM Joe Lieberman, who is locked in a fight to hold onto his Senate Homeland Security Committee chairmanship, is lending his name to a lurid sequel of the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West. That film, which was distributed through newspaper inserts and mass mailings to 28 million swing-state households during the campaign, was denounced by religious leaders for painting all Muslims with the same broad brush and for its cartoonish portrayal of Islamic terrorism.
The new documentary, called The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America, focuses on the "hidden war against the freedom and values we all take for granted" being waged by radical Islamists trying to take down America from within. Among other things, the film warns of the "subtle dangers of non-violent cultural jihad and its influence in America's universities."

Remove Lieberman from all Domestic Security and National Security Roles
Steve Clemons Joe Lieberman wants to keep his status and committees and caucus with the Democrats. He has been a fear-monger and someone who has promoted a dangerous, reckless false choice between American relations with Israel and other parts of the Middle East. He is a devout neoconservative who has been a key enabler of many of the most nefarious groups that promoted the Iraq War and who want a series of new wars in the region.
But more than that, he strongly supported someone a heartbeat away from the presidency who knew virtually nothing about America's place in the world, who knew nothing of American history and its leaders and conventions and founders.
Lieberman is dangerous on so many levels -- and he has not apologized for any of his positions or offered any explanation that should make Americans feel comfortable with this Senator in the next four years as Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security.
If Dems would like to keep Joe Lieberman in the caucus, give him responsibility for education policy, telecom policy, health care -- but the price for the Dems keeping this fearmonger is that he be removed from any position with key responsibility for national security or domestic security matters.
It is useful to refresh the memory of what Joe Lieberman said about Sarah Palin, on stage with her, and what he remained on stage listening to as Sarah Palin talked about "Barack Obama's terrorist friends. . ."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-clemons/remove-lieberman-from-all_b_142447.htmlI beg of you Senator Bayh, that you join Senator Schumer and strip Lieberman of his chairmanship of Homeland Security. Lieberman is a threat to our civil liberties and a potential threat to the incoming Obama Administration.
Thank you for your consideration.
