Joe Lieberman calls on Dean to APOLOGIZE to the Republican party

[Julius Civitatus]

For real. I'm not making this up:

Piling On (Salon.com)

(...) Sen. Joseph Lieberman -- never afraid to take a strong stand, especially when it involves selling out his own party -- said Dean's comments were "way over the top" and called on the chairman to apologize.

Dean's Words Draw Democratic Rebukes (WP)

(...) Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.), one of Dean's opponents in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, said the comment was "way over the top" and said he will ask Dean to explain himself during a previously scheduled meeting with Senate Democrats today. "I'm sure I won't be the only one," Lieberman said.

1. I have a better idea..

Joe Lieberman should apologize to the Democratic Party.

[chicagojoe]

4. Joe Lieberman should LEAVE the Democratic Party.

[dajoki]

52. BULLSHIT!!!!

why are we supposed to apologize for speaking the truth! cheynut never apologized for telling sen. leahy to go f**k himself, on the senate floor no less. i am personally sick of all this kind of crap, we can't open uor mouths without everything getting taken out of context, twisted and spun with thier venom. if anyone should apologize it's, the shrub admin. to the american people and the world for the lies and damage it has done!!

[iwantmycountryback]

53. I concur.

In fact he should be thrown out of it for being an embarassment to the party and to the good people of Connecticut.

[Justitia]

2. WHEN HELL FUCKING FREEZES OVER

Over my dead body.

[Skidmore]

3. Jomentum still hasn't apologized for smooching

Little Boots.

[JDPriestly]

5. Sen. Lieberman should apologize

to all Americans for having either lost the 2000 election or for having allowed it to be stolen. He and Gore and all the "nice" Democrats who let Bush take over this country are to blame for the mess we are in today. The nerve of him.

[SoCalifer]

12. I Agree

And I also think Lieberman should apologize to all Democrats for his actions unbecoming of a Democrat and that more suitable of being a Republican.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

23. Biggest Pussy since the MGM Lion...

nt

[hfojvt]

47. I was gonna say he should apologize to the Democratic Party

I will sign a petition to that effect too. In fact, I have a $100 donation to any serious Democratic opponent to him in a primary. I am sick of him, and Connecticut deserves better. I am not happy about what Dean said, but I wouldn't mind seeing him go after JoJo. Get back, JoJo, get back to where you once belonged (to the private sector, if not to the Democratic Party)

[kanrok]

6. Hey Joe: BLOW ME!

[KoKo]

7. What a "Toady" he is.....sheesh. I was waiting for him. Who's next

to come out and demand an apology? Who will be the first to call for Dean's resignation?

[bluedog]

8. Joe blow boy

can totally go to hell..he is one of the people who has turned on our country and fellow Democrats............his tone is "kiss Bush's ass..no matter what.....I wish the hell people would vote his ass out of the party....he does nothing for us.has done nothing...hot air Joe.asks bush which ass cheek to kiss first.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Hey Joe yuo are now going to go face a real primary

that should be your clue

[Elidor]

10. Little late to the dogpile, aren't ya, Joe?

I guess you had to gauge the wind first. POS.

Since when do we force the head of the party to kneel prostrate before our enemies? WTF??? Goddamn idiotic bullshit.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

24. His fax machine was on the fritz...

So he didn't get his RNC Talking Points until today.

[DemNoir]

11. Joe's Plan

This will assure him a spot on every Fox news show though the weekend.

He bashed Kerry they entire campaign, why would he be any more loyal to Dean?

[Democrat 4 Ever]

30. Think I'll send greetings to Turncoat Joe - sit down, shut up,

and get the hell out of the way for real Democrats.

Just in case somebody want to email the a$$wipe and tell him what you think of Howard Dean.

Here is my letter -

I respectfully request that you shut up about Howard Dean. You might not realize it just yet but the Democratic Party has evolved in the last few months from a group that will not sit by and let a Democrat Senator beat up on our leader. We have had enough of playing nice and the gloves are off. If this is too difficult (or "unSenatorial") for you then you might consider not speaking at all.

We will no longer be the party of shooting ourselves in the foot by supporting Democrats such as yourself. We have to unite to fight the evil that is in control of Washington today. As someone once lamely said, "You are either with us or against us."

If you really feel the need to discuss the hateful discourse going on in the political scene today why don't you address Ken Mehlman, Bill Frist, Tom DeLay or any of the other hosts of people willing to advocate silencing half of the American public through rhetoric, lies and intimadation?

You sir are out of line and you should apologize to Mr. Dean and the rest of the Dem party for your hurting the party. This isn't your idea of the Democrat Party anymore.

[Catt03]

41. That is a good letter.....

[truebrit71]

13. Fuck you Joe. You are a disgrace to the Democratic Party. Go join Zell in

..obscurity...You traitorous republican fuck.... :grr:

[Al-CIAda]

14. Unfuckingreal. This fucker needs to GO!!!! n/t

[Carolab]

15. Howard Dean calls on Lieberman to JOIN the Republican party!

n/t

[KingFlorez]

16. Stupid

How stupid can Lieberman get?

[Sanity Claws]

17. I just emailed him

I told him that I think he owes Dr. Dean and the Democratic Party an apology. Alternatively you should feel free to leave the Party and join Zell Miller. I also asked for an explanation as to why he disrespected our party by his comments.

[Carolab]

20. Me too. Much the same words.

And added: I think the Republican party owes US an apology!!!

[KurtNYC]

18. Why would pointing out the fact that 82% of the GOP

is white and claims to be Christian be something to apologize for?

[meti57b]

19. Form circle, now, ready, aim, .... fire! Thanks Joe, just what we needed.

[whistle]

21. Joe needs to read the Rude Pundit today

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/06/howard-dean-will-fuck-your-shit-up.html

[comsymp]

29. EVERYBODY needs to read the Rude Pundit today

Make that, everybody needs to read the Rude Pundit, regularly.

Hard to pick a favorite part of today's, but the closer is nice, tight and absolutely right:

Besides, ain't it fun to watch Hannity and Coulter and Gingrich and Hume and all the other hate-filled sociopaths flail about and try to take Dean down? You've seen Dean's arms? Big, thick sons of bitches. He can bear it. And he can throw it back at them. As long as those behind him don't put him in handcuffs.

[XemaSab]

46. Thanks for the laugh

No, seriously, Howard's buff... he could take out Washington if he got mad. The man could beat up half the town and visciously insult the rest without breaking a sweat.

[bunny planet]

22. Joe is still so pissed that Gore endorsed Dean for the nomination over

him. Shut the f*ck up DinoJoementum. Leave the party or be voted out.

[illini]

25. F*ck you Joe.

nt

[manly]

26. Lieberman is a snake

Lieberman is a snake in the grass, a turncoat, a traitor to Democratic ideals, a two-faced asshole and a republican at heart. To hell with him, I say. What a slime ball!

[eek]

33. Joe: how many times must we tell you:

S T F U

:eyes:

He never opens his piehole unless it ois to weigh in on something "his" party does something
retrograde to "His Real" party's wishes .

And he never gets his pissy little remarks aired unless His Party's media outlets OK his words.

When's Boring Joementumless up for re-election? :+

[Neshanic]

27. Shut up Joe. Go have lunch with Rove for your next assignment.

[BlueIris]

28. Gee, all I was going to post was: Senator? Please, shut up.

But I think y'all have The Response covered.

[XemaSab]

31. Like seriously, what was Gore thinking?

on edit: not for endorsing Dean over Joe, but for picking Joe for VP in the first place?

That's the only bad thing I can say about Gore.

[stopbush]

32. Asshole. Remember when he dissed Clinton on the floor of the Senate

over Monicagate? Has he done the same over * and his illegal war? NFW!

Fuck you, Joe. Please put us out of our Dem misery and switch sides. You're old news and an albatross around the neck of the party. You call on Dean to apologize? Have you called on Mehlman to apologize for his outlandish lies? How about your fellow R Senators who imply that Dems are unpatriotic? Any apology needed there? Thought not, you fucking asshole.

Dean's the man. Reid's the man. You're the scam.

[Selteri]

34. I call on Lieberman to leave the Democrat party! NT

[Broken Acorn]

35. Wasn't he being considered last year for a Cabinet position?

I think for Agriculture if my memory is still good.

What a sellout and I hope he goes Zell Miller on us and rots in Repub hell.

[punpirate]

36. Joe's been able to stay in office by being a Republican to...

... his Republican constituency. The Greenwich country club crowd and the insurance and accounting industries won't like him any more unless he stands up for them... and Joementum knows it.

Hell, Lowell Weicker was more of a Democrat than Lieberman, and Weicker was a Republican....

[tallahasseedem]

37. When is this asshat's term up.

It time to pack him up and ship him off to Freep town. Kiss my ass Lieberman.

[Rob H.]

38. My gentle, heartfelt advice for Joe

Fuck off. Seriously. You're a DINO anyway, so it really comes as no surprise to anyone that you'd pile on Dean's comments (late to the party as usual, I might add, no pun intended). Do you honestly think real Democrats take anything you say seriously any more?

Oh, and one more thing. Instead of asking Dean to explain himself, how about standing up for once in your wormlike existence and ask Bush to explain himself with regard to the Downing Street Memo? Or does the fact that he's a Republican make it all okay?

Bastard. :grr:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

39. Could Clueless Joe accept an apology on the GOP's behalf?

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. Lieberman should apologize to all Democrats

for being a Republican in body, mind, and soul.

It sounds like Joe's pretty confident about his campaign finances for re-election. Big corporate donors are probably writing out the checks as we speak! :dilemma:

[Duncan Grant]

42. Fuck you, Joe.

Who the hell do you think you are? Tell me again: What Democrats look to you for leadership?? Laughable, Joe - truly.

[killbotfactory]

43. Go fuck yourself, Joe

you stupid shitbag

[Raiden]

44. Hey Joe, Condi's away and

Bush needs his blowjob!

[Elidor]

45. Trent Lott calls on RNC chair Gillespie to apologize to Dems for remarks

What's that, you say? Never happen? Goddamn right. Kinda puts it in perspective.

[Morose]

48. I call on Lieberman to take a flying leap

he is welcome to land on the other side of the isle if he wishes.

Seriously...beyond enough with tearing apart those actually doing WORK for our party!

I'm not even a Deaniac...but the attacks on him are making me more of one every day.

[ecstatic]

49. Joe is REPUB trash! nt

[AntiCoup2K4]

50. Wow, another DLC loser calls on Dean to "apologize"

Who's next? Mary "Geezus, can I get one vote right" Landrieu?

Evan "is my dad embarrassed about me or what?" Bayh??

[Generator]

51. Poor Joe

He's just upset because he's Jewish, and just realized he can't be a Republican.

Condolence card is in the mail from Melhman.

[Lugnut]

54. Go sit down, Joe

With Democrats like you who needs Republicans? :mad:

[brentspeak]

55. Well, that is indeed stupid, even coming from Joe

Dean made some dumb comments, but not as dumb as the one Lieberman just made.

[Triana]

56. How about if Joseph Liebermann apologizes to the DEM party...

...then gets the hell OUT?

[DinahMoeHum]

57. STFU, Joe. . .and while you're at it either defect to the Repukes

or plan on getting your ass kicked come spring 2006 (primary)

We don't need DINOs like you in our party now.

We need ass-kickers like Dean, not arse-lickers like yourself.


:kick:

[Chemical Bill]

58. Here's my email to joe

I support Howard Dean and his campaign to take the country back from (rich, white, so-called christian) republicans. Since you and the DLC could not get the job done, please shut up and get out of the way. If Mr. Dean should ever tell someone to go f**k themselves on the floor of the senate you may be correct in demanding an apology.

[jonnyblitz]

59. its great to see everybody in agreement about this idiot

on this thread. (so far anyway) :thumbsup:

[WillyT]

60. Hey Joe... Your Tutu Is Showing Again !!!

Bite me Lieberman!!!



:puke:

[ISUGRADIA]

61. "way over the top"

but can Joe say that it's a lie? No, 'cause the truth hurts.

Joe needs to say bye bye to his Senate seat.

[montana500]

62. IDIOT

kick him out.

[JRob]

63. Lieberman! I've got you apology over here...

[LittleClarkie]

64. Okay

I'm sorry you're a bunch of rich, white Christians. All better now?

[lancdem]

65. Nobody takes Lieberman seriously

His voting record actualy is pretty good, but he comes across as such a milquetoast I can't stand it.

[bunkerbuster1]

66. Sometimes I think Joementum just wants to piss off liberals

I read a lot of that in the New Republic these days. Lots of self-loathing.

If it's not just about getting attention, then I don't get it at all. Joe (and the New Republic, for that matter) really are on the right side of a lot of issues, for me, but there's this apologetic, we're-so-sorry-if-we-were-ever-soft-on-Terra-or-Communism genuflecting that is, how you say, to barf.

[Blue Belle]

67. Who here gives a shit what Lieberman thinks???

He's such a Jackass.

[NoPasaran]

68. I respectfully disagree

with the Senator from Connecticut
