On edit:
Do you think you can get your mother to write a short piece on the experience, from her point of view?

[me b zola]

2. Wouldn't it save us all alot of trouble if he would just resign??

At the very least he should run for re-election as a rethug.

on edit: Let's see how much love he'd get from the gop if he were actually one of them in name. :spray:

[Vidar]

10. For the times they are a-changin' ...

by Bob Dylan http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/times.html

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

[Ecumenist]

11. BWAHAHAHAHAHA......

:spray:

[Rose Siding]

12. Not enough information

Did Joe demand an apology? Did he storm out? Stamp his little feet?

Was the crowd Ned-ucated?

I'll be checking for info on this ALL NIGHT! :D

[Jacobin]

17. he prolly just whined

and called his BushBoy and cried

[babylonsister]

31. "Stamp his little feet?" Bwhahahaha! nt

[Cronus Protagonist]

45. It's so nice to hear he was rejected once more

His last resounding rejection was in his run for President. Apparently he hasn't learned much since then....

[LeahD]

56. Link to another thread on DU and an AP article about the event.....

Here’s a link to a thread in General Discussion: Politics....Leiberman booed at state party dinner:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2543906

And within that thread is a link for AP article about the Connecticut event:

http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/local/state/hc-30222017.apds.m0042.bc-ct--obammar30,0,2221245.story?coll=hc-headlines-local-wire

And one of the best quotes from the Advocate.....

“Some at Thursday's dinner said that while they were pleased with Lieberman's success in bringing Obama to Connecticut, they still consider Lieberman uncomfortably tolerant of the Bush administration.”

[Rose Siding]

58. Thank you Leah

:hi:

Bit disappointing about Obama.

[LeahD]

60. You're welcome! Very disappointing indeed.

[Atman]

70. $175 a plate fundraiser?

That's just a regular dinner in NYC. Joe's really reaching for the stars, ain't he!?

:rofl:

[LeahD]

79. Guess he doesn't have a "Pioneer" program in place...like our leader.

[AuntiBush]

13. Good for them...

Bad for LIEberman. It seems hes pretty blatent about his dinoism.

[fooj]

14. Right on!

Peace.

[nicknameless]

15. Woo-Hoo!

K&R

[connecticut yankee]

18. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

If he was booed by the Party muck-a-mucks,think what the unwashed masses must feel!

[bigwillq]

20. WOO HOO!

That's good to hear! :bounce:

[CottonBear]

21. Sam Seder & Atrios talking about this just now on Majority Report!

DU rocks! We knew it before AAR broadcast it! :)

[Nutmegger]

23. Hello CottonBear

I hope you are well. :)

[CottonBear]

24. I'm well! It has been a beautiful spring day here in GA. How are you?

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

22. Need to put the word out: carry a recorder if going anywhere he'll be!

If the word gets out, seems likely that there'll ALWAYS be a recording (sound or video) of his appearance ANYWHERE.

I'd love to see joementum turn into joe-get-the-hell-outta-here..... over and over and over....

[Canuckistanian]

25. I think what we're seeing now is Joenertia

Joementum has come to an end.

[CottonBear]

28. Joenertia! Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

:rofl:

[Atman]

71. Or, Joesaster. Joetastrophe. Joe-back. Joebacle. or my favorite...

Joebliteration.

[Hardrada]

52. That's good!

Also Joeterdämmerung!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

55. The resistance an object has to a change in it's state of motion.

Joenertia.

:mysideissplitting:

[Autonomy]

61. LOL

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. YAY!!! I hope he gets the message...LOUD AND CLEAR....

that some people in the Dem party think he's a turncoat. He needs to just leave the party.:grr:

[CottonBear]

27. IN Gov Mitch Daniels-R getting booed at Reggie Millers retirement cermony

[dolstein]

30. No surprise there -- we already knew Lamont's supporters were rude SOB's

Of course, there are plenty of voters all across the political spectrum who don't particularly care for that kind of behavior. Personally, I hope Lamont's supporters keep pulling these cheap stunts, because I think ultimately they hurt Lamont far more than they hurt Lieberman.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. Still keeping that Joementum going, eh, dolstein?

It really is admirable. It really is.

[dionysus]

35. Do you think he might ACTUALLY BE JOE?

posting from his blackberry as he sulks in the corner at the dinner after being laughed at?

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. It's so funny you'd say that

It was the last thing I entertained after I finished that post. It crossed my mind for a split second.

But no. Hell, I actually like dolstein, despite the weirdo Bushwar support and Joementum flailing. He's often right on other shit.

[Marr]

50. Nah, Joe posts on the Hannity boards.

Cause you know- the crowd there is so much more "sensible".

[babylonsister]

33. And what exactly do you think Lieberman has done in the past

few years to benefit you or the Democratic party? For me, his being for this war is a big negative, as is his constant kissing up to the blivet. But I await your words of wisdom. :eyes:

[dionysus]

34. I think you meant "I already knew"...

please produce at least 5 Joementum supporters to back you up, if you can...

[dionysus]

41. *crickets*

chirp chirp

[bpilgrim]

37. yeah, it's always somebody else... he and other NEVER take responsibility

nor some of their die hard supporters.

times are a chang'n, though... maybe he'll wake the fuck up :shrug:

peace

[Media_Lies_Daily]

38. Give it up. Joe's a NeoCon in Democratic Party clothing....

...pretty lame on your part for blaming this on Lamont's supporters.

Joe's done this to himself all on his own.

[UTUSN]

40. dolstein!!!!! Great to see you after so long. You're a great Dem

(so am I, and so are we almost-all). I know you'll defend Joementum to the end. And *I* believe he is a decent human *and* a good Dem on 90+ percent of things. But I didn't like his performance against CHEENEE in the 2000 debates, am vastly underwhelmed by his namby-pamby persona, and am SEVERELY turned off by his support of the Shrubbite agenda.

I'm going to say this, not deserving to be flamed, but I believe that his number one, dominating issue is anthing-for-Israel, and this is why he is in Shrub's corner on the Iraq Attack. It is the invisible elephant in the room, not only for Joementum, but for a lot of Dem politicians. If this is considered to be flame bait, I hope the Mods will delete this post forthwith. (I think it's true, though.)

Anyway, good to see you, dolstein.

[Hardrada]

54. It is known to everyone Joementum is in Israel's corner

on all relevant issues. It is no accident that he supports the Bush wars so vigorously. I don't think he is booed for that, however, but for his kissing-up to Shrub all the time.

[mondo joe]

49. I wish I could have been there to boo. And I'm as polite as can be.

This was called for.

[hippywife]

64. Joe got booed here

several times during the first forum for Dem presidential candidates back before the primary. It's not Lamont supporters. It's Dems the country over calling him on his stands.

[Tesha]

66. Just like when we protest Bush, right? Useless, counterproductive gestures

> I think ultimately they hurt Lamont far more than they hurt Lieberman.

Just like when we protest Bush, right? Useless, counterproductive
gestures right?

Well, my money's already gone (and going) to Lamont.

"Hey Joe; you're a DINO; you must go."
"Hey Joe; you're a DINO; you must go."

Tesha

[wordpix]

78. hey, watch what you're saying there---I just switched over to Ned's side

because Joe is acting repuke---I didn't attend the $500/plate cocktail party so I didn't boo but Joe is LOSING SUPPORT because he's acting too repug for my liking---others feel the same way, I'm sure.

[AlCzervik]

36. He must feel just like McCain at a gop dinner.

[ElboRuum]

39. DINOs should be booed...

They're always throwing off the math...

Are there N Republicans in the Senate? D'oh! There's N+1, I forgot Joe Lieberman again!

[newyawker99]

74. Hi ElboRuum!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ElboRuum]

76. Thanks! n/t

[skipos]

42. But why are his approval ratings so high?

Why does it seem like he will be renominated and re-elected? It seems CT likes somthing about him.

[dionysus]

43. It's like asking

why some girls stay with boyfriends who beat them. No clear answer.

[kohodog]

47. Things are changing

I was at a town Dem Meeting last week where Lamonte spoke. He got numerous rounds of applause. Then Lieberman's spokesman got up and started by saying that the Dem's have a big tent and we don't all need to agree on issues like the occupation Iraq (my words, he said 'war on Iraq'), and was booed. I don't know what the vote for delegates for the primary was, but in Greenwich he garnered 16 0f the 22 delegate votes and Lieberman got none.

Lieberman is more popular with Republicans and conservative undeclared voters than with Dem's. He should be worried about the primary. Personally, I can see him losing the primary. The only chance a Republican has is if he loses the primary and runs as an independent. Then the Dem/Progressive vote will be split and a Repub stands a chance

[beltanefauve]

62. Could it be

PORK? Connecticut has a lot of defense contract work, I hear.

[CTyankee]

72. I think it's hard for Ned to get the visibility he needs

I get a quizzical look from some folks when I bring up Ned's challenge to Joe. Joe gets all the ink, Ned gets a little, even tho he's going to every town in CT, and there are over 160 of them.

As for Dolstein's observation, I have to laugh. I was at Ned's strategy session in New Haven a few weeks ago and there were seniors. League of Women Voters types, Fairfield County matrons, Yalies, 30 somethings. Not a rude voice in the room. It was what is sometimes called "a nice group" of people. So where Dolstein gets the idea that all these rude people support Ned, I don't know. Is he even in CT?

BTW, booing is not necessarily rude. And people who won't sit down and shut up are not necessarily rude.

[DemGirl7]

44. HAHA

that is funny....:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[mdmc]

48. A kick for Joementum!

I love the guy

[DanCa]

51. What's Libermen doing at a Democratic dinner party?

I'd thought he'd be hanging out with his pals Sean Hannity, and Zell Miller.

[Montagnard]

53. A dog bites man story….not surprising

I booed Lieberman just reading his name.

[Ms. Clio]

57. Kick him to the curb -- help Ned Lamont reach 3000 contributions

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/9354

[katinmn]

59. Why is Obama endorsing Joenertia?

I keep thinking back to his speech in 2004.

Maybe the person who wrote the speech should run for office.

[sellitman]

63. Why are you all complaining about Lieberman?

Put your money where you mouth is and donate money to Ned Lamont.


Please!!!!!!

[Peter Frank]

65. Fuck Lieberman -- He's a plant ... n/t

[Tesha]

67. As in "a shrub"? ...a "bush"? (NT)

[Coexist]

68. Oh my...

the reaping isn't half as much fun as the sowing, eh?!

[Peter Frank]

69. I've been around many elections...

Lieberman appears to be yesterday's news -- but he was useful in '04 to bring the "right" agenda to undecided Democrats.

Now Liebrman is firmly established as what he's always been -- A totalitarian.

The Jews I know don't like being associated with this kind of hegemony.

[mmonk]

73. I hope this message can be sustained.

the message: Democrats seeking to be like republicans and voting with the president on illegal warfare and making no efforts to be truthful over policy will be in trouble in the primaries.

[DinahMoeHum]

75. JOE GOTTA GO. JOE GOTTA GO. JOE GOTTA GO.

and that's the long and the short of it.

:kick:

[ooglymoogly]

77. if joe blubbermann loses to a real dem

we will have gained another vote in the senate....since he mostly votes on the repug side. so...goodby joe, you gotta go me-oh my-oh...
