Top Ten Horrible Things done to Us by Outgoing Sen. Joe Lieberman
Posted on 01/19/2011 by Juan

Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) announced Tuesday that he would not seek reelection in 2012, and progressive Americans breathed a sigh of collective relief. It is worth reviewing the most horrible things Lieberman has done to us since he has been in office.


10. Undermined Jeffersonian ideals by joining with George W. Bush to throw government money to religious organizations.



9. Revived, with Lynn Cheney, McCarthyite techniques in order to harass and intimidate university professors who dared attempt to explain the historical and political context for the rise of al-Qaeda and its attacks on the United States. He even put out a blacklist of 40 university professors and administrators, including the President of Wesleyan University.



..................

2. Repeatedly called from 2006 for aggression against Iran by the US Air Force.


1. Defected to the Republicans in 2008 and tried to make Sarah Palin Vice President of the United States, saying ‘everyone should listen to Sarah Palin.’

4. I hate him most for blocking lowering Medicare eligibility age to 55.

They have it as #7 as blocking the public option, but same diff.

Go make lots of money as a private citizen, Joe. And for fuck's sake stay off of the TeeVee.

6. I just hope he does NOT come back to live here in Connecticut. We already have Glenn Beck living

here, are we not tortured enough?
I will always have extreme anger towards Lieberman for his terrible foreign policy ideas. So glad some decent Dem might get in this seat.

7. #7 Killed the Public Option

It's LIEberman's fault. Not Obama's as many would have you believe.
