[bobthedrummer]

by Paul Owen, Richard Adams & Ewen MacAskill (12-7-10 Guardian)

Chair of Senate homeland security committee tells Fox News paper has committed "at least an act of, at best, bad citizenship, but whether they have committed a crime is a matter of discussion"

3. they should investigate his ass

might find his head

4. "A matter of discussion?"

How about a "matter of law"?

Whether Lieberman is a dick is a "matter of discussion". Personally, I consider it a "matter of fact".

5. I think there may be something about Joe in some of the so far unreleased cables.

He seems to be afraid of something.

6. We can examine a bit of Senator Lieberman right here in this thread

I'll start with his Source Watch profile (The Center for Media and Democracy)

Joseph Lieberman

Add your own bits and links about the current Chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee that resembles Senator Joseph McCarthy and his various forms of "Americanism".

This was Al Gore's running mate :puke: when our democracy was hijacked and the criminal Bush/Cheney regime installed-now that was, at best, a stealthy legalistic coup imo.

I didn't mean to go offtopic-let's discuss Senator Joe Lieberman related topics in this thread-and perhaps what his comments about the NYT, delivered via Fox, :puke: could "really" mean.

7. Eat shit and die, Lieberman. You have no credibility

Anybody who didn't scream bloody murder treason when Valerie Plame was outed should just STFU about WikiLeaks.

8. If they let the NYT investigate, you can be sure they won't find anything...

or maybe they'll just find WMD's.

9. Right Web profile: Joe Lieberman

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Lieberman_Joe

No wonder he's so much like a 21st century Senator Joe McCarthy.

What do you think?

10. Joe Lieberman has become very comfortable with the fascism implemented by the last two presidents.

[bobthedrummer]

12. Welcome to DU, Write Left..I agree that we have non-totalitarian fascism here btw n/t

[Poll_Blind]

11. YES, THANK YOU! Joe, this will be your fucking undoing. Thank you for taking the bait.

Fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

14. UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES

Has he no shame?

[bobthedrummer]

15. None at all imo eShirl-and your post prompts this bit of political history from me

HUAC page (Third World Traveler)

It's much more insidious than McCarthyism though, isn't it?

16. I heard that Lieberman's website has been cyber-attacked by some folks. Kick.
