What Was It That Lieberman Said About Obama?

[MannyGoldstein]

I think that I recall Lieberman saying at least one awful thing, but I can't remember what.

(No, I'm not interested in defending Lieberman.)

[Thrill]

1. He pretty much called him a Marxist

2. Marxist and more, though this is going back a bit...

– Said Investigating Response To Katrina Would Be Playing ‘Gotcha’: Lieberman said he was not interested in “looking back, and assigning blame would be a waste of Congress’ time.” Lieberman said he was reluctant to mount an investigation of the failures of the initial response, saying “We don’t want to play ‘gotcha’ anymore.”

– Claimed That A Progressive Economic Stimulus Would Lead To A Depression: Speaking at Dartmouth University, “Lieberman compared Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama’s economic plan to former president Herbert Hoover’s approach, which he said ‘turned a recession into a depression.’”

– Supported Attorney General Alberto Gonzales To The Bitter End: Reacting to Gonzales’s resignation, Lieberman commented, “The Attorney General’s resignation removes a distraction from the important work of the Department of Justice,” but added, “As he leaves public service, the Attorney General deserves our appreciation for his work for our nation.”

– Suggested That Obama Could Be A Marxist: When asked if Obama is “a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case,” Lieberman replied, “Well, you know, I must say that’s a good question.”

3. The Quote Re: Torquemada Gonzales Is Way Worse Than The Other Stuff

Truly appalling.

5. Lieberman is a Republican groupie

Lieberman is a Republican groupie

Lieberman told lies about Obama that he didn't put the country first, not tested in war, not ready to lead etc. Liberman should be catapulted from the nearest human cannon.
