Well, well, well: Lieberman defends Democratic war critics

[CatWoman]

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Sen.
Joe Lieberman on Friday criticized Republicans who accuse Democratic critics of the Iraq war of encouraging terrorists, arguing such talk "demeans the freedom we are all fighting for."

This week, House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Democrats "are more interested in protecting the terrorists than protecting the American people." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has raised the specter of Nazi appeasers in his attacks on war critics, part of the GOP's steady drumbeat of rhetoric contending Democrats are weak on national security.

"It is wrong for some on the right to imply that some Democrats don't care if the terrorists succeed, or that debating the merits of the president's policies on the war on terrorism emboldens our enemies," Lieberman said in a speech at Fairfield University.

"That kind of attack on the motives of our fellow Americans and our right to debate and dissent demeans the freedom we are all fighting for and divides and weakens us as a nation," he said.

1. Oh please.

Joe "we undermine the President at our own peril" Lieberman would whore his own grandmother out to keep his Senate seat. Notice I said HIS Senate seat because that's exactly what he thinks it is--monogrammed with J.L. on the seat where he parks his ass very rarely to vote on his precious war.

2. Damn you!

Stunning in his political magnetism. He just can't help it!

3. Is this the same Joe Lieberman who said

that it "undermines" the ability of the president to call his actions in wartime into question?

Fuck him.

And for anyone who might be appalled that I say this about a Democrat - he's not one in either name or truth. He is now running as an Independent.
