Lieberman loss is a Democratic debacle
Then why isn't right-wing Republican Cal celebrating?

The narrow primary defeat (bigger than Bush's "victory" margin) of Sen. Joe Lieberman in Connecticut’s Democratic primary is more than a loss for one man; it is a loss for his party and for the country. It completes the capture of the Democratic Party by its Taliban wing. The Taliban are religious-based fanatics - Cal used to work for Pat Robertson and he comments regularly on Foxxx "News." Cal's pal Ann Coulter has already certified in her latest "book" that Democrats are Godless.
Taliban Democrats are willing to "kill" one of their own, if he does not conform to the narrow and rigid agenda of the party’s kook fringe. A majority of Democrats "killed" Lieberman. Cal shows he is totally nuts by equating a 52% majority of Connecticut Democrats with a "narrow ...kook FRINGE."
Lieberman’s sin, in the eyes of the Taliban Democrats, was that he supported the effort to defeat the insurgent terrorists in Iraq. As a Jew, Lieberman is particularly sensitive to those who have targeted the Jewish people for extinction. But even if he weren’t Jewish, he would still "get it," because he has correctly concluded that failure in Iraq would be catastrophic ("failure" defined as Bush would like it defined and "catastrophic" for Bush, Cal, & Co.).
His detractors, who brought him down in the primary with a one-issue, inexperienced (Bush was experienced?) and unqualified (Bush is qualified? for what?) candidate, Ned Lamont, hate President Bush so much that their judgment has been distorted. Former Bill Clinton aide Lanny Davis, in a recent column for The Wall Street Journal titled "Liberal McCarthyism," printed a sample of the incendiary rhetoric directed toward Lieberman. There is thinly-veiled anti-Semitism (‘‘As everybody knows, Jews only care about the welfare of other Jews" posted on Daily Kos); irrationality (‘‘Joe Lieberman is a racist and a religious bigot," Daily Kos). These are distortions, but even so, I don't think Cal would like to be held responsible for the shit clods post on fascist - or even Republican - blogs.
It didn’t matter that Lieberman ran as the vice presidential candidate with Al Gore in 2000, or that he has voted against most of the president’s domestic agenda (another distortion). The Taliban wing of the party cannot countenance any "heretics" who do not toe their line. Again, heretics are a minority; Lieberman was put out by a MAJORITY.
Though Lieberman will now run as an independent, the damage has been done. It will be difficult for any Democrat to seek consensus with any Republican (how can it be any MORE difficult than it's been for the last six years - since day one it's been the R-way or the highway) without being targeted as an infidel worthy of electoral death. Our already-poisoned political dialogue (this ass works for Foxxx and has the nerve to complain about a "poisoned political dialogue?) has not only been made more toxic, but contagious. Taliban Democrats have effectively issued a political fatwa that warns all Democrats not to deviate from their narrow line, or else face the end of their careers through a political jihad (put another way, if Democrats don't act like democrats - instead of Republicans, we don't need them). Perhaps the few remaining rational Democrats should put on their burqas now and submit to the will of the party mullahs.
What is wrong with Democrats? Can’t they see that when the face of their party belongs to ultra-leftists such as George McGovern (he's 84 years old), Michael Dukakis (has anyone seen Michael lately?) and Sen. John Kerry, they lose? If these guys are "ultra-leftists" there are at least 80,000,000 Americans to the left of these guys. What are they, anarchists? communists? For those who still believe not only in a strong two-party system, but also in compromise in order to promote the general welfare and seek the common good, the Lieberman defeat strikes an especially harmful blow. Who's general welfare and common good?
At the height of social-conservative power in the Republican Party, pro choicers and pro gay-rights officials such as Rudolph Giuliani of New York City and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger were featured speakers at GOP conventions. Republican officials described their party as a big tent with room for everybody. Room for "everybody"? Yeah, they need alot of cooks, servers, and jaitors under that tent taking care of their betters.
Lieberman’s loss reduces the size of the Democrats’ tent to that of a pup tent. The message it sends is that only those who conform to the left-wing fundamentalist worldview will be allowed in. Is that a message Democrats want to take into future campaigns? Do they wish to pervert President Kennedy’s vision and say that the United States will pay no price, bear no burden and go nowhere in the defense of liberty? The right wing is big on paying a price and bearing burdens - as long as it's us paying their price and bearing their burden.
If that is the message the Taliban Democrats want to send to the nation, they have all but guaranteed a Republican presidential victory in 2008 and GOP losses, if any, might not be as bad as predicted this November. Karl Rove could not have devised a more brilliant plan. But Lieberman deserves better.
Oh, NOW I see why Cal isn't jumping up and down with glee over the Democrats' "Big Mistake"!! As happy as he is that the Democrats have screwed themselves better than even Kkkarl could have done, he's just containing his glee out of respect for Joe Lieberman!!
Yeah, uh huh.

OH Tom!
THANKS so much for sharing that AND for the comments you inserted/included to make it a better read !
I'm betting you heard me laughing all the way to Circleville!!!
Cheers and THANKS!
BTW - have I written recently that Coulter is a skanky bitch???
I know I said it at my Drinking Liberally meeting this past week as we toasted the voters in Connecticut BUT I believe I had neglected to say it IN PRINT for a bit!
Take Care -
Phyll
Hi Tom,
As I drove home today, I listened to NPR and an interview with our old friend Bill from NOW. He has such wisdom and said a couple of things that I hadn't heard before about Dr. King and LBJ. It's so good to hear wise people speak in such calm and literate speech.
Thanks for all the good work you do. Sondra
