Video - Lieberman on the Senate floor - Aug. 2, 2011

The Senate's leading shill for useless war does not hide his extreme prejudice yesterday as he discusses budget priorities.

Featured comment from Sagebrush:

Lieberman is a classic example of our corrupt, dysfunctional United States Congress.  He's just one of the many compromised, special-interest programmed robots leading this country down the path of destruction.  Another Vietnam era draft dodging lawyer who thinks sending other people to their death fighting in useless wars is his duty in life especially if it coincides with his personal agenda to kill Muslims.

He works hard to keep the U.S. Military Industrial Complex chewing up taxpayer dollars while also making sure Israel gets plenty of those dollars in aid and military hardware.

Lieberman, like G.W. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the neo-cons, considers the Constitution and the Bill of Rights inconveniences to be ignored, and whistle-blowing journalists and publishers as traitors to be prosecuted for telling the truth.

How he is still in office is a complete mystery to me.

Joe Lieberman, I don't think he really cares now, as he is married to an Israeli citizen, and I may be wrong here, but he also has duel citizenship, U.S. & Israeli, which should preclude him from serving in the Senate. Regardless, he also lobbies for Israel, has an ax to grind with the Demo's over their not backing him in the past election he ran in, along with he really doesn't care about the U.S. anymore. Just my opinion here. I'm sure that someone will enlighten me and point out that I'm wrong on one or all counts.

No, I think you got everything right Norman.

I agree too norman. enough is enough.

#FuckYou Joe Lieberman

[Game Over]

What a pig- just that simple.

[Phil]

Well, he is disgusting but not the only one.
Most of the US Congress are Israeli whores and the rest a spineless bunch. We elected them. We get what we deserve...

[MILKMAN]

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD ADD THE 535 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO THEIR W4 FORM.
MAYBE THEY WOULD GET OFF OUR BACKS.

[sarum]

Don't even think about it Joe Schmuck! Cut my lifeline - yours should be cut for merely floating the idea. I paid my dues and you squandered it? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

The heading for his video should be, "Lie-berman says the U.S. should slash his own salary to pay for roads and schools and hospitals and other infrastructure in the U.S."

Articles about these bozo congresscritters saying American citizens must submit to "austerity", never note that these same bozos don't ever offer to slash their overbloated salaries and overly-generous perks to pay for the deficit. This point needs extensive coverage (as well as emails to the offending bozo)
"Austerity" for the common-man; riches for polytricksters.

Seems to be a few unhappy commenters.

@Parch702 , WELL SAID.

The place to preserve defense spending is to drop all spending for Israel. When was the last time an Israeli soldier died fighting alongside Amiercan soliders? israel is a worthless sandpit. Lieberman should go there to live and his government pension should be stopped .... to help pay for real American defense.

Social Security and Medicare are PROPERTY RIGHTS paid for by the Workers. They are not "entitlements" to be equated to welfare. Our thieving politicians STOLE the money, remember the "Lock Box" with $2.6+TRILLION in IOUs? That is the money that would keep Social Security solvent. These filthy politicians have been stealing the "Annual Surpluses". Make them put the money back, OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS.

American Taxpayers fund UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE in Israel. Now we can't "Afford" MEDICARE to care for the Taxpayers that paid to fund Israel's UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE? .............. CUT OFF ISRAEL.

I've always wondered how French peasantry could cheer "Vertical Deportations" - also known as Republican Marriage - wherein a man and woman were tethered and dumped in the Loire - to resounding applause.

Known as the French Revolution's Noyades at Nantes... Jean Baptiste Carrier used boats with trap doors to dispense with thousands of pesky Royalists - but again, I ask myself - how could that have been entertainment?

This morning I got my answer. I awoke to a news story about Steve Jobs and Apple buying a million robots - to replace beleaguered and suicidal Chinese workers. This is their 'solution' to the ongoing management crisis of distraught workers.

Next I read about a necklace bomb and ransom note attached to the daughter of one of Sydney's most wealthy businessmen.

Horror of horrors, my immediate reaction was - Way to go Aussies!

Where is the revolutionary gusto in Cupertino California! Ashamed? ... hell no.

Disclaimer - I am 63, self employed, and haven't suffered much at the hands of the multi national crowd. So, imagine the fantasies of those who don't enjoy my relative comfort.....

I want Steve Jobs, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon to live in Terror.

..... each is a bit too relaxed for my tastes. Their lives should be ransacked - made to live behind razor wire and moats, with mandatory - EXPENSIVE round the clock security for their extended family. [even the pets!]

We've been far far to easy on the likes of these monsters..... American is yearning for a good hangin judge. Robespierre ... where art thou?

[Echo]

We will continue to have "Tin Men" like him until we force them to quit using electronic voting. Until then the establishment will rubber stamp their chosen.

[Texas Dar]

Ah, I think I payed into that all my working life and have all of it comming back Shit Head....................I wouldent cut yr pecker off and put it down the sink grinder, but I would run your tounge threw it with a Gal. of bleach afterwords............

[DailyBail]

Interesting comments. Brilliant stuff Sagebrush. I'm going to add it to the story..

[Prioritymail]

The lack of shame while expressing his desire to steal money from the elderly is what most people would consider most infuriating about Lieberman. However, if they knew that his loyalty is 100% for a foreign country, (what could it be?) how would they then feel? How many of them would vote for his reelection even if Jewish?

[Howard T. Lewis III]

If there ever was a poster boy for stuffing somebody's head in a bait bucket and keeping it there, it would be some mean self-centered bigotted murdering sanctimonious ass like Joe Lieberman.
The rest of Congress should be given head-shaves and be put to work volunteering in a vets' hospital or one of the dozens of hospitals around the world being overburdened by the aftermath of killing and maiming being done by misled kids of the U.S. military. For life. How anyone could look at themselves in the mirror before or after the hellish mess they have made for so many innocents. I don't see most of the American public showing a positive worth either. Kill your TV set and don't make those same programmed mistakes. And if you see yourself as having been conned, my rant here is not aimed at you. We all have our row to hoe.

[Dave]

Great speech of self preservation. Makes as much sense as a mortician going out to kill people after they find a cure for death. Good lord.

[Canuck]

He uses the trigger word 'entitlements' which is guaranteed to send all conservatives to agreement. Damn I get tired of the brain-washing soaked up by both tribes. They play us off against each other and do it very very well.

[us patriot]

fuk u lieberman!!!!! cut congress's pay and benefits first!!!!!!!!
