Bwahaha! Video of a really pissed-off Lieberman
Right after the debate.

I'd like to add that while Lieberman is trying to slink out the back stairway, Lamont and Schlesinger are outside talking with the media.

1. I would have asked him about The Franklin Savings and Loan Scandal
Just to really rattle his cage.

5. Did I miss something?
I thought I'd compiled a pretty exhaustive list of all the ways Lieberman's screwed the country, but did he have his hand in that too?

7. Something to do with fighting accounting standards reform?
Similar to how he enabled Enron?

I'm just guessing here. Googling isn't helping.

8. Much worse... The Child sex ring that reached Bush/Reagan Whitehouse


This was the biggest scandal in the history of the U.S.A history. The story received some newspaper coverage but there was a TV News Media blackout on the subject. For this reason, most Americans have never heard of it.

Former republican Senator John Decamp was involved in the production a documentary called "Conspiracy of Silence" it was to air May 3, 1994 on the Discovery Channel. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired.

Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed. A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired F.B.I. chief, Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved. You can purchase a VHS copy at this link. Or you can view an online copy at this page. Franklin Cover up video page

Boy prostitutes 15 years old (and younger) were taking midnight tours of the Whitehouse. There are 19 more Washington Times articles in full text about this case available here at this link.

Franklin Coverup Scandal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Franklin Coverup Scandal is a conspiracy theory which began on June 29, 1989, when the front page of the Washington Times bore the headline "Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush". The article, by Washington Times journalists Paul M. Rodriguez and George Archibald, alleged that key officials of the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations were connected to an elaborate Washington, D.C male prostitution ring, and reported that two of these prostitutes even entered the White House late at night. The investigation also included, among other things, "abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion". <1>

Key persons named in the investigation were Craig J. Spence, a Washington lobbyist, and Lawrence "Larry" King, then manager of the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Nebraska. According to the December 15, 1989 New York Times, Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers came forward with reports of "boys and girls, some of them from foster homes, who had been transported around the country by airplane to provide sexual favors, for which they were rewarded." <2>

King — not to be confused with the talk show host — was one of the Republican party's rising stars, performing the national anthem at the 1984 and 1988 Republican Conventions. According to testimony of children rescued from the child prostitution ring, they were forced to have sex not only with King and other officials, but then-Vice-President Bush. This story was met with considerable skepticism, especially after some of the kids recanted their story. Others maintain that they were harassed and frightened into changing their story. <3> <4>

On January 10, 1989, the Nebraska State legislature constituted a special committee to look into the allegations with State Senator Loran Schmit as Chairman. On January 30, 1990, Nebraska State Attorney General, Robert Spire, called for a grand jury to investigate allegations. February 6, 1990, former County District Judge Samuel Van Pelt was appointed a special prosecutor for the Douglas County Grand Jury, which convened on March 12, 1990. On July 23, 1990, after hearing many hours of testimony, the grand jury threw out all of the allegations concerning sexual child abuse and labeling the charges a "carefully crafted hoax".

Former Nebraska State Senator John DeCamp wrote a book, The Franklin Coverup, and continues to research the subject today.

The Franklin Coverup was the subject of Conspiracy of Silence, a 1994 documentary that never aired, allegedly due to either defamation issues or as claimed by the films supporters, "pressure from unknown members of Congress." Copies of the film have circulated around the Internet. The documentary, produced by Britain's Yorkshire TV, was scheduled to have aired on May 3, 1994 — and appeared in TV Guide as such — but disappeared. <5> <6>

11. Hey, come around more often if that's the kind of work you do!
Good job, fellow activist. I really hope that Lieberman loses. "When I get back there...." self assured prick, isn't he? Time to retire the Lie.

14. He'll Caucus With AIPAC
Last weekend, my wife got a call from a Jewish group she had donated to...the person asked if she'd help in a "special project" and then the person went on about how important it was for Joementum to stay in the Senate and was asking for a "small" one-time contribution (she was told others had given between $250 and $500)...and if Joementum were defeated, this could allow the Palestinians to over-run Israel. It was fear mongering with a good doseage of Jewish guilt thrown in.

My wife let the lady finish her spiel and then asked "Does Senator Liebermann still kiss up to george booooosh?" You could hear the crickets while she waited for a response...then said "I have a draft age son, Liebermann has kissed up to people who have made his life and the rest of ours more dangerous...while I care about Israel, I'm an American first, and can't support an appeaser of george boooosh". More crickets. After what seemed like an hour of silence, the lady on the other end says something like "well I guess we can't count on you to defend Israel"...my wife had had enough and said "take my name off your lists and please never call here again". <click>

I'm proud of her...

We just took some of that money and gave it to MYDD...so the kiss mobile can roll again.

15. I don't even care if he wins anymore
The ration of shiite he's been given is worth it all....

Its wonderful to see him trying to perch on that fence, pretending to be a democrat, running as an independent and now not knowing what his fate in the senate will be.

He deserves it ALL

16. I like Ned Lamont. I think the Connecticut Democrats who don't see
him as a refreshing change are crazy.
