Lieberman: A recap of hypocricy
As some of you may know, Lieberman was one of the main political figures waging war against "violent" video games - saying things like "it corrupts the youth" and "creates violent behavior" and "is responsible for the increase in adolescent violence."

Because sending adolescents to war doesn't?

After attacking games like "Vice City" and "Counter-Strike" (conveiniently ignoring to criticise the most realistic violent game made to date: "America's Army" developed by the army as a recruitment tool) Joe supports continued aggressions in Iraq and new aggressions in Iran (as you well know).

I have a question for Mr Protector Of The Youth: What do you think really creates more violence, video games, or a MOTHERF*CKING WAR???? And do you believe that the youth of this country is so messed up in the head that a video game will make them kill someone, but watching what our country is doing in the name of a "just cause" won't?

Oh shit. Shouldn't have said that, now Mr Lieberman will want to have and age identification process in order to watch the news. Or he may just want to ban it altogether.
