Worthy News: Anitwar Candidate Lamont Defeats Lieberman in Conn. Democ

[RGR]

Why did we (USA and Britain) invade Iraq then. Even at the time those behind it seemed a little confused.

Was it for those mythical weapons of mass destruction?

Was it to defeat Al Qaida, who had no presence in pre-war Iraq, but are now their in force?

Was it to remove a murderous tyrant, with whom Rumsfeld and others had happily done business with, when he was at the peak of his killing spree?

Was it to improve the lives of Iraqi people, who are now being killed in greater numbers than before the war?

Even the cheap oil argument doesn't work as oil prices have gone through the roof.

You proclaim your support for this foolhardy chaotic and bloody venture Marnie, why don't you explain why it was launched at what great things it has actually achieved?

Once again, I find it necessary to do your work for you.

Here, and here, and here, and here.

But don't you worry about a thing; you just fix your poneytail, put on some zitar tunes, take your Birks off and enjoy the freedom our soldiers have secured for you. But I wouldn't light up that joint...it destroys brain cells. Obviously.

I cannot help but wonder if the folks would change their vote had the voting occured today ...

Sen. Lieberman Unfairly Attacked With Anti-Semitic Slurs

Wednesday, August 09, 2006

By Bill O'Reilly

The anti-Semitic stuff directed at Joe Lieberman is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."

As you may know, some radical left Americans have been vilifying Lieberman for his support of the Iraq war. The usual suspects on the Net have smeared the man. And now Lieberman's campaign is accusing radical bloggers of hacking into their Web site and damaging it.

But far worse are the anti-Semitic rants. This was posted on the far left Daily Kos Web site: "As everybody knows, Jews ONLY care about the welfare of other Jews. We might better ignore all that Jewish propaganda about participating in the civil rights movement."

And this was allowed on the Huffington blog: "Leiberman [sic] cannot escape the religious bond he represents. Hell, his wife's name is Haggadah or Muffeletta or Diaspora or something you eat at Passover."

Nice. But the media has generally ignored the far-left hatred directed towards the senator and his family. I wonder how Mel Gibson feels about that.

Writing today in The Wall Street Journal, former counsel to President Clinton, Lanny Davis says: "I came to believe that we liberals couldn't possibly be so intolerant and hateful, because our ideology was famous for ACLU-type commitments to free speech, dissent and, especially, tolerance for those who differed with us. Now in the closing days of the Lieberman primary campaign, I have reluctantly concluded that I was wrong."

Well, Lanny Davis has learned what Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen learned, what Hillary Clinton has experienced, and what those of us who see things clearly have known for years. The far left in America is dominated by haters, people who despise their own country and want to injure those with whom they disagree.

The smear merchants are now all over the mainstream media and have spread like lice on the Net. They are truly misguided and in some cases emotionally disturbed human beings.

So how do you combat them? Exposition is the best way. My upcoming book "Culture Warrior" does that. It documents who these people are and what they're doing behind the scenes.

Secondly, condemn their behavior as Lanny Davis did today. This isn't satire or a free speech exercise. This is speech meant to injure, to defame, to demean.

As I wrote in my newspaper column a few months ago, Joseph Lieberman is a good man. He's honest, loves his country and obeys his conscience. You may disagree with his politics, but he's a man of respect.

You can't say that for those who have smeared and slurred him. There's no place for their tactics in a country as great as America.

And that's "The Memo."

The left can bash any race so long as it fits their agenda....and then they are free from any sort of reprise.

Such as Cynthia McKinney, who's campaign manager said it was "The Israelis....the Zionists that caused us to lose the primary." And then said about three or four other anti-Jew statements.

Did the media filet her like they did Mel? Of course not....it was a side mention.

[tah]

How McKinney got elected in the first place is interesting to me..to say the least..

but more interesting is the 40% of the votes that went to her this election..

its not like people are ignorant of what she stands for...

that is scary...there are still 40% of the voters who wanted her in office..

The reason she got off for her comments is because she is "out" of the public eye now....

out of sight out of mind...

Mel is still very much "in" the public eye...and He is a Christian so that makes him "game"...

And again about Lamont...I still wonder if the folks who voted for him would change their minds in light of last nights situation with the terrorists..??

I want someone in office who would want to protect me ...

[tah]

Well...someone else had the same question about the voters in Conn...

A Dem was on fox a minute ago and said of course they would vote the same and that Bush is the blame..

should have known...

[billie]

Of course, it's all Bush's fault, the war, the unemployment rate, the low stock rates, global warming, famine in Africa, communism, etc......

Yes very amusing, pity that even the American General , John Abizaid,in charge doesn't share your rose (or should that be fox) tinted view of the situation. He thinks that the country is on the verge of civil war, others think its already in the midst of one.

Of course, it's all Bush's fault, the war, the unemployment rate, the low stock rates, global warming, famine in Africa, communism, etc......

Bush's policies caused Hitler to rise to power in Germany....and Germany only invaded Poland because of Bush's policy.

Bush also caused the United States Civil War.

[georgesbluegirl]

it's not all "bush" per se...but he certainly isn't helping. so many things have been mishandled that i don't know where to start, so i won't. anyway, don't underestimate lamont - remember that you're talking about connecticut, not ohio.
