The LEFT Reacts To Joe Lieberman's Promise To Join Filibuster About Health Care Bill
Hartford (WTNH) - Protesters who are miffed about Joe Lieberman's stance against the current health care reform package held demonstrations today at his offices in Washington, D.C. and Hartford.
30 people showed up to Lieberman's Hartford office this morning. An aide to Lieberman came out to listen to what they had to say.
Police arrested four of the protestors in Hartford and charged them with disorderly conduct.
The group claims that Sen. Lieberman has excepted over $2 million in contributions from the health care industry since 1989.
The event in Hartford was coordinated with another demonstration at Sen. Lieberman's Washington, D.C. office. Six protestors were arrested there for unlawful entry. Kevin Zeese, an organizer with Mobilization for Health Care for All , says the demonstrators urged Lieberman to stop accepting money from health insurance companies.
He says the protesters threw mock dollar bills printed with Lieberman's face from the seventh-floor balcony.
Sen. Lieberman has said that he will likely vote against a health care bill that includes a public option.
In a historical vote this past weekend, the U.S. House of Representatives passed health care legislation. Read a summary . The bill now goes to U.S. Senate where Lieberman will play a key role in whether or not it passes.

"Everybody has a right to express their point of view, I much prefer to have a dialog, of course. But, I think, some of these folks come in to get arrested, that's their right too," Lieberman said.

Wild Thing's comment........
BIG difference, the TEA protest in Hartford this summer. 5000+ people showed up. No arrests, no incidents, no disrutions, no disorderly conduct. And no littering.
The left want socialism so badly and even worse for America. Why or why do they live here if they hate what America has been all this time. Get the F out!

If what Lieberman is doing protects the country in anyway these AH's want nothing to do with it. These extreme leftist's have got to be the most corrupt, the most heinous bastards ever. They have worked for nothing in their entire lives. Very much like their leader obama, his citizenship, his education, his job he has earned none of it, all gifts of the state.
Nancy Peelosely wants to give obama a Gift for
Christmas.
After the Second World War, Americans in all of their infinite generosity wanted to give the German Children Gift Packages, on the packages was printed in bold letters "Gift packages" The Germans refused them. The subtlety of this would be lost on this Elite, corrupt, evil, oligarchic Administration.
