Right-wing starts pushing Lieberman for VP.

thinkprogress.org — In a new Weekly Standard editorial, William Kristol, one of the most prominent and influential voices in the conservative movement, suggests that Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) recent speech attacking war critics may be cause for the eventual Republican Presidential nominee to “offer him the vice presidency.”

  • phnx0221, on 11/11/2007, -6/+17Ugh. No.
  • reikiman, on 11/11/2007, -5/+14Uh, I think it would be fitting. Lieberman has been hawkish and doing more to support the Bush Administration in its criminal activities. He belongs with them.
  • SeethisPass, on 11/11/2007, -6/+14A completely stinky idea
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -8/+14Lieberman is a right wing idiot. Just what the right wing needs on their losing ticket.
  • izzybr, on 11/11/2007, -0/+6How scary does Guiliani + Lieberman sound?
  • obliviousfool, on 11/11/2007, -2/+6I laughed out loud! Another brilliant idea from the twisted mind of Bill Kristol. The good part is that we can wait until they stick him on someone's ticket, and then we'll know exactly who NOT to vote for!
  • speedwank, on 11/11/2007, -1/+5NO
    hell NO!
    ***** NO!!!
    NO WAY JOSE
    The guy is a certifiable nutcase.
  • ncairns, on 11/11/2007, -3/+6"He's not smart enough to be dangerous..."

    You think stupid people can't be dangerous?

    Where have you been for the past seven years?
  • vault, on 11/11/2007, -2/+5He graduated from Yale, went to Yale Law School, and became a US Senator. His parents were immigrants who owned a liquor store, so it's not like he got in because of the family dynasty.

    That makes him dumb? Criticize his policies but he's far, far from dumb.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -7/+10This would probably be a good thing. Shows him as the warmongering ***** he is to a much larger public.
  • 5alarm, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Does anyone else think that Lieberman looks like an overgrown Muppet?
  • pintomp3, on 11/11/2007, -4/+6so we can keep fighting more wars for israel. pretty much the only candidates not under AIPAC influence are kucinich, gravel, and paul.
  • shawnfassett, on 11/11/2007, -3/+5TAKE HIM, PLEASE! Let them all sink on the same ship...in the name of Israel over America.
  • hawkeye17, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Good. Joe killed Gore in 2000 so I'm fine with this incompetent hack ruining a Republican's campaign in 2008.
  • redmonkey, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2You have to read above comments carefully. A lot of comments blame and condemn Liberman only because hi is Jew.
    Also, you can criticized Israel, but if you are criticized only Israel you are anti-semite.
  • unclemeat, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Really, you could have just said '***** that!'. Faster, and infinitely more legible.
  • DRINKxREDxBULL, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2You really need to take a logic class. Here is a good start: "An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the person", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claims is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject."

  • cjdunn, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Not to mention it would free up his seat.
  • LooseCannon1, on 11/11/2007, -2/+3Lieberman as VP?

    Well, according to the leftists who told us he was already elected once as VP, he gets my vote for being experienced.
  • carpespasm, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Well, I guess how things are going if Paul were elected a Lieberman VP would make a good replacement should Paul wind up shot in the back by a "terrist"
  • DRINKxREDxBULL, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Since when is "William Kristol one of the most prominent and influential voices in the conservative movement?"
  • 5alarm, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Lieberman = right wing tool
  • osirisothedead, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1NY won't vote (R) for President regardless of who the candidates are.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -5/+5Consider Lieberman? Listen to Naomi Wolf. Libermann, like Stalin and Hitler, will continue to lead America to fascism. As you hear this history lesson, prepare to be shocked as you realize the parallels.

  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -2/+2Is this BDS I'm seeing again?
  • booyaman1, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1I've always wondered this - how is criticizing the state of Israel and their actions and our government's funding of them anti-semetic? it seems like a political issue to me, not a religious one.
  • redmonkey, on 11/11/2007, -2/+2Reading above comments confirm my opinion that "liberal" and "progressive" are anti-semites, as Thinkprogress.com and it readers.
  • MrPapa1, on 11/11/2007, -3/+3this would indeed be bad...
  • booyaman1, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1F|_|c|< +h/-+!!!!
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1When will your Neo-nazi crusade end?
  • rhinocero, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1Maybe if Huckabee is the nominee, it might work. But any of the front runners (Romney, Giuliani, maybe McCain) are similar to enough to Lieberman that they wouldn't really gain anything by having him on the ticket, and shaky enough with fundamentalist voters that Huckabee is a much better choice.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1In before Inbred right-wing overly fat conservative loons scream 'Thinkprogress...spam!'
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -3/+2I'd rather have Lucifer for vice president--most people think he's fictitious which is more comforting than the real thing.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1***** digg,Double bury.
  • dannydowney, on 11/11/2007, -6/+3I don't think it matters who Americans are voting for, that time passed a very very very long time ago when Governments were for the people.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -7/+3It makes a little bit of sense. Lieberman and Giuliani are both moderates, and having the two on the ticket would virtually guarantee New York and Connecticut going to the Republicans.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -5/+1What a Silly Penis!
  • J-roc, on 11/11/2007, -6/+1It makes sense, but I don't like the look of it.
