Lieberman Urged To Apologize To Obama, Biden
WFSB
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut Democrats are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign
The request was made in a Jan. 16 letter from Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the state party, on behalf of the Democratic State Central Committee.
It chastises the longtime Democrat, who won re-election in 2006 as an independent, for speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Sen. John McCain.
The letter states that Lieberman’s appearance undermined the efforts of Democratic candidates in Connecticut and across the country.
Wild Thing’s comment………
Fascists !!!!
To apologize for speaking critically? Is there a right to speak freely, or will there be government-imposed sanctions if you don’t apologize for doing so?
What about their criticisms of him , and their their criticisms of Sarah Palin, and their their criticisms of Bush and Cheney which is STILL happening.
Apologize for what? Standing on principle regarding the war against those who want to kill us, and then telling the truth about it? Never, ever, never, not once, no never, I mean never apologize for the truth.
It’s always nice to see the left in full “We shall accept NO individuality!” mode. I thought Obama said he was listening to “especially” those who don’t agree with him? YO homeboy Obama you are a LIAR! But we already knew that.
This is the Democrats’ version of unity – no dissent.
Lieberman should go in front of the microphones live and start reading a written apology: “I regret that I criticized Obama and I would like to take this opportunity…take this opportunity…I can’t make out Rahm’s handwriting here…”
Hmmmm….did the Republicans tell Lieberman that he had to apologize when he critisized any of their members, when he left the Republican party to become an Independent? I know he caught a lot of flack from Republicans for dumping them but I don’t recall anyone demanding an apology from him!!!
And what part of “Independent” don’t these idiot Dems understand? Hello? Duh!?! HE IS AN INDEPENDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Means he can side with whom ever he wants to!!!! Just like he has sided with the Dems over the last several years!!!
I mean let’s face it, both Lieberman and McCain are RINO’s….It’s just that Lieberman had the guts to declare himself an Independent while McCain still hides behind the Repulican shield. Who knows, now that the Dems are in control, maybe McCain will turn Independent too!!!!! Sheesh Stupid cry babies!!!
Actually, I think Lieberman should go in front of the microphones and say, “To Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden……I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING”!!!!!! (and you notice I didn’t refer to either of them as President or Vice-President).
This is really rich. They threw Lieberman under the bus trying to get rid of him. He beat them at their own game. Now he should apologise. For what ?
That is the whole problem with the democrats they hide from the truth like Dracula avoids the light of day.
There’s a book I would recommend you read, it’s called “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg.
Not surprising. Now that Democrats hold so much power they will not tolerate any kind of opposition. Some of the more moderate Democrats are going to find themselves corraled by the more liberal leaders. The moderates will be threatened with loss of funding, loss of committee seats and refusal to hear bill proposals.
The Democrats don’t compromise.
Lieberman is a marked man just like Leon Trotsky was. This administration has all the earmarks of tyranny, day one, even the second taking of the presidential oath was a closed door affair. Indicative of how they all will do business, the same was done by congress the first 100 days of 2006 under Pelosi and Reid. This morning Hillary reiterated to the State Department that there will be no toleration of divisiveness. Pretty clear talk from the queen bitch. It’s a thin line between objecting and insubordination and they will make the charges of insubordination and divisiveness as part of their new open form of government oppression against anyone who dissents. I can’t work up any sympathy for Lieberman or for McCain, both have the same suck ass qualities towards the Democrats and they will be scuttled for their past deeds as surely as Stalin took care of poor Leon. Independent means just that, but of the independents in Congress one is a self confessed Socialist and the other two are in bed with him. Is there any doubt that Obama intends to rule by oligarchy?
“Lord God Almighty, we apologize for 51 million abortions… for same-sex marriages… for taking YOU out of our public schools in 1964… for living UNGODLY lifestyles of lust, power, greed, materialism and living for ME, MYSELF and I. Lord, we apologize for lie after lie, and for removing the words ‘Easter’ and ‘Christmas’ from our lips and public society… WE don’t deserve your forgiveness for WE THE PEOPLE are not worthy of your love…”
Not surprising from the left. There will be no dissent – mind speak reigns. Apparently, dissent is no longer patriotic. Sheesh, I just can’t keep up.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
Don’t do it, Joe!! Just laugh at them and walk away.
“Just say it ain’t so, Joe”.
Give me a break….IF there is ONE Demoncrat worth his salt….it is Mr. Lieberman….I love this man. He has principles. And morales!
Typical Democrats. They stab Lieberman in the back when he runs for reelection and they have the nerve and audacity to demand that he apologize for speaking his mind. Lieberman should respond by becoming a Republican.
John, ditto that!
Lieberman has asked for this all on his own. He needs to make up his mind what he is, who he is and what he stands for. Join that party whatever it is and stick to his guns. I honestly could care less.
The thing that ticks me off is the nerve of the left to demand, urge whatever for anyone to make an apologize about things said in a campaign. Obama did more attacks then any of them and most of them directed at Bush who was not even running for office. Obama is a slime jerk thug and deserves zero regard.
Mark, they sure do…….. ” they hide from the truth like Dracula avoids the light of day.”….good one.
JohnE PFC U.S. Army, thank you for commenting about that, it is an excellent book.
Tom, exactly well said.
“they will not tolerate any kind of opposition”
He showed this trait about himself in the election, it should be an alarm to those like Lieberman etc. how true what you said really is a reality.
Jack, that gives chills but it is absolutely true.
“This administration has all the earmarks of tyranny”
I agree too I have no sympathy for Lieberman or for McCain. IMO they both need to be democrats and stop messing with the RNC.
Darth, good one!!!!
Yankeemom, hahaa I know what you mean, I can’t keep up either. I looked at the news articles and just shook my head one after the other.
Steve Gaston, yes, he has some wonderful qualities, I agree.
But he needs to see who the people are that got him elected when he left the DNC. It was republicans that voted him back into office, then he campaigned for McCain and then when McCain lost he wanted back in among his dem friends. That was not right and it angered a lot of republicans that came to his rescue for being a good man and not wanting the dems to run over him.
He keeps getting abused by the dems and has been praised by the republicans and for some reason he just can’t make that finale cut from them.
I wish he would we could use more people that see why we are at war with Islam and he does.
Les, he should, the dems have treated him horribly.
