How much do you hate Joe Lieberman?

Poll question: How much do you hate Joe Lieberman?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Since when is challenging the position of a candidate hatred?

Can't you defend him with a rational thought?

[Flying_Pig]

3. LOL!!

:evilgrin:

[sujan]

2. here's something to feed you

I voted 1.

[Iverson]

4. misguided effort

As a Green, I appreciate that Lieberman supporters feel beleaguered. Greens certainly do too around here, often at the hands of those same Lieberman supporters.

However, the conception of this thread, clearly to illustrate frustration, may only further the simplistic, dualistic political discourse that is at the root of what Lieberman supporters purport to object to (again, when they're not busy doing it to Greens).

It is better to lead by example, preferably with thoughtfulness instead of sarcasm or exasperation.

5. Indifferent

He's running an awful campaign, and is completely out of touch. That's the worst I can say about him.

[Aidoneus]

6. don't like him, don't think of him much..

but if I see his name mentioned in this forum again I'll scream.

[leftofthedial]

7. don't like him much

But if he is the Democratic nominee, I will vote for him.

That is the ONLY way to depose the Bush Junta.

[Rowdyboy]

8. Started out this election cycle....

actually respecting him. Since then he has driven me away steadily. Currently, I dislike him-but hate is not a word I would use about any Democrat.

[TheBigGuy]

9. Jesus h Christ..the top three choics got a quarter of the votes so far.

....man, thats alot of hate.

I personally am indifferent to him. Not a particularly inspiring candidate. Not one I really dislike either....

11. wow, what a pathetic little thread.

[pansypoo53219]

12. i pity the fool!

just give it up joe.

[liberalmuse]

13. I don't hate him...

I just think he (and we) might be better served if he ran on the Republican ticket, is all. I don't get what is liberal about him, other than the stereotype of 'Jews as liberals', which just isn't true in a lot of cases.

14. It is my opinion that your first choice advocates violence

against a candidate and therefore is not only a violation of DU rules, is also a violation of the law.

[dolstein]

16. Asking someone if they advocate violence against Lieberman

isn't the same as advocating violence against Lieberman. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Of course it is entirely expected that you would lash out at me rather than then three people who checked that response to the poll. You never fail to amuse and apall.

[Walt Starr]

17. You are the one who posted the advocation of violence

I have absolutely no way of knowing who may have voted for that advocation of violence (with the exception of one person who *claims* to have voted that way).

For all I know you actually voted for a violent act against Lieberman.

I chose not to vote in a poll which advocates violence.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. Violence is ok...sometimes...

We like to call it population control...God, if only killing stupid people weren't illegal...Oh, how beautiful a world this would be. :grouphug: LOL..I'm not really homicidal...I just joke about everything.

18. We will need Joe on the campaign trail to support the Dem nominee.

With this in mind, I will be bashing Joe to a lesser degree.

[Walt Starr]

20. I expect him to support Bush over the Democratic nominee

just like he supported Bush over his own party in the rose garden.

[stevedeshazer]

19. I actually like the guy

Joe gets a bum rap.

I see you working, dolstein.

What I don't get is DUers who would vote for *W over Joe.

I'll go with Joe any day given this choice.

[GemMom]

21. I'm with you.

I wholeheartedly agree.

[mlawson]

22. I don't think this post is very helpful.

I do not hate Joe, but I do hope that he is not the nominee; his message, especially on Iraq, in wrong for the Party.

But polling us on how much we HATE him, is IMO, WAY over the top.

[quinnox]

23. dislike, but not hate

I don't hate anyone, not even Bush.

[Walt Starr]

25. If I had actually cast my votre in this poll

that's where my vote would be :)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I'm Not A Big Joe Fan But Some Of The Responses Display An

authoritarian mindset... Ideological rigidity isn't endemic to Freepers...

It's a pity...


To quote Robert F Kennedy on the eve of Martin Luther King's assasination

"What we need in the United States is not division, what we need in the United States is not hatred, what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness, but love and wisdom, and compassion towards one another..."

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

26. Bookmarking for when I need a laugh.

Best poll ever.




(dislike his RW moralism)

[Sterling]

27. I take great joy in seeing his candidacy fail so miserably.

I also consider it a validation that his message has been rejected by most potential Democratic voters.

I encourage his supporters to get behind one of the candidates who has a chance to win the nomination but I bet many will vote Republican if Dean or anyone against the Crusade is nominated.

I think the Democratic Party would be far better of if he and people like him left the party to for the DLC party or just joined the Repubs al together. The message of the left of center would be less muddy with Neo Con thinking.

28. Let's see, the same 5 guys that hated Lieberman in another poll

because he was Jewish, are the same 5 guys that in this poll say they "hope he suffers a prolonged, painful, violent death."

Out of 30,000 registered users in DU, we have 5 bona fide Lieberman haters, on religious grounds no less. Do those 5 votes provide the basis for dolstein's argument that the animus towards Lieberman in DU is based on anti-Semitism?

I think that you are stretching it a bit!
