Keith Olbermann worst: Joe Lieberman slurs Obama, democrats

Countdown with Keith Olbermann - Worst Person in the World: Joe LIEberman
--------------------------------------------
Senator Joe Lieberman, serving aptly as John McCain's foreign policy attack dog, jumped on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to rip holes into Barack Obama's stance on Israel. Playing off of Obama's address to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Connecticut independent acknowledged that he hadn't heard the speech -- and urged for a "civil and constructive" presidential campaign -- before taking Obama to task for not being consistently tough on Iran.
"I appreciate many of the very good intentions to Israel and Israeli security that Senator Obama expressed today," said Lieberman. "I thought in the speech there was a disconnect between things Senator Obama said today, particularly in regard to Iran, and things he has said or done earlier either in the campaign or the Senate." The crux of Lieberman's argument, however, was that Obama was putting the blame for Iran's rise in the Middle East on America's doorstep, pushing the argument that the Iraq war had strengthened Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's standing in the region and left Israel less secure. "If Israel is in danger today it is not because of us foreign policy, which has been strongly supportive of Israel in every way," he said. "It is not because of what we have done in Iraq. It is because Iran is a fanatical, terrorist, expansionist state and has a leader and a leadership that constantly threatens to extinguish the state of Israel."

The remarks fit into a traditional GOP rallying cry, that the Democrats have a blame-America-first mentality. But there are outstanding factors that could muddle Lieberman's message. For starters, most objective metrics indicate that Iran has, in fact, been strengthened by America's involvement in Iraq. Ahmadinejad, after all, has increasingly meddled in Iraqi affairs. But also, McCain, despite tough rhetoric on Iran, has several advisers with deep connections to the country; perhaps the most embarrassing of which is Charlie Black, the campaign's chief strategist. Before leaving his perch as a D.C. lobbyist, Black represented a Chinese oil company that did business with the Iranian government. He and his firm also represented Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi exile who helped churn up support for the war in the United States and has subsequently been accused of selling U.S. secrets to Iran.

UPDATE: Roll Call reports:
Furthermore, during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation. While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating. Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances. Still, Obama and Lieberman seemed to be trying to keep the back-and-forth congenial as they both patted each other on the back during and after the exchange. Afterwards, Obama smiled and pointed up at reporters peering over the edge of the press gallery for a better glimpse of their interaction. Obama loyalists were quick to express their frustration with Lieberman's decision and warned that if he continues to take a lead role in attacking Obama it could complicate his professional relationship with the Caucus.

@SpookeyR

You show me where I brought up Bill O.

Dismissed CUNT.

[SpookeyR]

@Favre: Well, then either you are blind or just fucking stupid! Damn, sucks to be you, you shrill troll...

Of course, you may also be trying to push that specific comment so far back up the list, to pages 4, 5, 6, etc., that who the fuck is really going to bother to look for it?! That's a real possibility!

Olbermann OWNS you!! Now get down on your knees and worship him, you pathetic little ass-hat!

[FavreianVengeance]

@SpookeyR

Dude - I have the full scroll right in front of my face. You made a bogus claim and you won't be able to prove that I brought up Bill O b/c it didn't happen dickface. As for the tantrum, yea that's exactly what you you're doing. KO owns me? His ass got canned. He's got millions based on useful idiots like yourself though, so hey I can't say he has it all that bad. Just keep dickriding KO, maybe he can make a few mil.

[SpookeyR]

@Favre: LOL!!!

...bogus claim MY ASS!! Anybody who bothers to read this tantrum on your part can check exactly what I quoted you as saying and they can check your posted comments for themselves, whether or not you checked it, regardless of whether you are to lazy to do so or whether you are to stupid to find that very comment that I directly quoted you from!

Olbermann OWNS you and that IS what you are really pissed off about, I can tell...

[FavreianVengeance]

@SpookeyR

Ah. Poor bitch got called out for making a bogus claim and gots to come back with weak shit. Just keep chomping on KO's nuts. Nom, nom, nom.

[SpookeyR]

@Favre: Awvw, you sad little retard...

Isn't it passed your bedtime yet, retard?? Or is mommy letting you stay up extra late bc she's already wasted and to far gone to give a damn about you, the barely literate, politically ignorant, retarded hypocrite?!

LOL!?! You pppooooorrr baby!

[FavreianVengeance]

@SpookeyR

I checked it fuckface. I didn't say a damn thing about Bill O. You did. Perhaps if you didn't have all that jizz in your eye you'd have seen that.

[SpookeyR]

@Favre: "Nope. I didn't say shiz about Bill O."

Yes, you did! Perhaps you should go back and check your own posted comments, you pathetic little ignorant troll?! I already gave you the quotes; I think using them as a guide, you shouldn't have to much trouble, even with your 74 I.Q.

Perhaps you should stop sucking Bill O's dick, at least long enough to come (No pun intended!) up for air & that might help, too!

Happy hunting, retard!!

[FavreianVengeance]

@SpookeyR

Nope. I didn't say shiz about Bill O. I'm sure in your mind you think that b/c you're a kool aid drinker. And I could care less if you have a problem with the metaphor. You're all over KO's nuts while he laughs all the way to the bank.
