Hilarious Dean hit piece: Dean isn't the right man -- Lieberman is

[ProfessorPlum]

You'll love this, it hits all of the high notes, deliberately misleading and of course misreading everything about Dean as sinisterly as possible. It even calls him a Trojan Horse!!!! Thought I would post it before another poster whose initials are Nicholas_J does. And I love it when Freepers, as this guy most obviously is, try to put on their "Democrat" hats and give us the good advice that if we would just vote for their pal Lieberman, he'll lay down quietly and lose like a good boy and no one will get hurt. Thanks for the advice!

While Dean has said the United States should not "take sides" in the Middle East -- a sudden and sharp departure from 50 years of U.S. policy in support of Israel -- he recently said that "We have to get the Israelis out of the West Bank," and that "an enormous number of settlements" would have to be disbanded.

Oh yeah, Dean's very anti-Israel. Wait, wasn't he being bashed for being way TOO pro-Israel? Me confused.

Quite frankly, I still have yet to figure out which Howard Dean is running for president: the liberal supporter of civil unions and abortions or the man who boasts to having an "A" approval rating from the National Rifle Association. I'm not even sure if he knows himself.

"My head can't comprehend anything but a one-dimensional axis with 'conservative' on one end and 'traitor' on the other."
Maybe Dean needs to try earth tones, ya think?

What the Democratic party needs is a candidate with wide appeal, extensive experience, and concrete policies. Fortunately, one candidate possesses all of these qualities -- Joe Lieberman.

What can I say? This is the proverbial money quote from this budding comedian. He'll be at Laughlines in New Haven all this week - check him out and be sure to try the veal.

1. No offense

But the guy raises some valid points - nothing we haven't seen here before.

Unfortunately, he has to go and waste the whole piece supporting Lieberman. I will say this though: the thought of Joe Lieberman running for President is about as exciting to me as two hours in a Bed, Bath and Beyond -- but the guy has not pandered to audiences.

4. No, lieberman the putz has just pandered to bush...

and he thinks he's right..so he's just stupid.

[Fabio]

6. Pandering to Bush..

and sharing some of the same philosophy hardly seem the same to me.

[ProfessorPlum]

10. and yet Lieberman seems able to do both at the same time

the amazing Lieberman!

2. LOL, Professor

3. Another influential article in Yale Daily News

written by a freshman from Berkeley college!! We're going to have to win this guy over to our side!!</sarcasm>

5. It just gets so old.

The criticisms of Dean, that is. He's too liberal! No wait, too conservative! No, too angry! No, um... um, wait...

If Lieberman were (by some ridiculous stroke of luck) win the nomination, we all might as well slit our wrists.

7. The criticism that will never be mentioned in the open:

He's got too big of a lead on my candidate!

[ProfessorPlum]

9. heh heh

Giddy up!

8. Lieberman had his chance to hand Cheney his ass

once. How many Democrats have that opportunity on primetime, network TV with the whole world watching?

I guess that's why I find him so distasteful. If he were really a fighter, he would have studied up for that debate and gone for the jugular. He knew what kind of person Cheney is, and yet he sat there chuckling chummily with the prince of darkness, as Cheney claimed his personal fortune "didn't have anything to do with the public sector". He didn't shove Halliburton's contracts with Iraq down his throat. He didn't bring up the fact that Cheney hasn't voted in the last 23 years, or whatever it is.

He's proven that he will let a golden opportunity to speak the truth to America slide right past him. That's why he doesn't deserve a second chance.

12. If Lieberman Wins the Nomination, It Won't Be By A Stroke of Luck

Lieberman is still "Plan B", and we can expect that a lot of the new voting machinez will vote for him in the primaries.

With Bush vs. Lieberman, Likud and PNAC can't lose.

[ProfessorPlum]

13. good point, but pass the tinfoil!

[MrPeepers]

15. I'd rather

have Lieberman in the White House than Bush any day. At least Lieberman might have a shot in a general election.
