America’s most hated sagging senatorial sack of jowls and pus has dug another bilious canto of hate from his decaying bowels to cough into America’s face! Crusader warlord Joe Lieberman, this time: Obama is losing America’s wars on brown people because he refuses to formally call every violent extremist on the planet worth killing an “Islamist,” because extremists cannot be properly identified if they are not called terrible ragheads first. Is that so, O ye aging mass of war-flavored cancer cells? We suspect a decade of bloody conflict and child-murder probably “speaks louder than words” if Lieberman is worried Muslims don’t think America hates their religion, but maybe, says Joe, they are still not truly offended enough?
From The Hill:
“To call our enemy ‘violent extremism’ is so general and vague that it ultimately has no meaning. The other term used sometimes is Al Qaeda and its allies. Now that’s better but it is still too narrow and focuses us on groups as opposed to what I would call an ideology, which is what we’re really fighting.”
Lieberman, who as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has held numerous hearings on the issue of Islamic extremism, said that Obama needs to stop being afraid of offending the overwhelmingly large portion of law-abiding and well-intentioned Muslims with his rhetoric.
And that, children, is what an unchecked herpes infection looks like. [The Hill]

Mozel Tov on your upcoming wedding to Lindsey Graham this weekend.
I wonder if Miss Lindsey will wear white.
and pearls.
(I know. Nasty!)
Which is why I'm deeply ashamed of upfisting it.
Only if they're Joe's.
Oy, y'all.
"We have met the enemy, and he is us."
Joltin' Joe riding on a Pogo stick right into Lindey's arms.
He's aiming lower.
Good one.
Interesting, but I'd like to hear from Howland Owl.
But it was Albert who lived a life of loud desperation.
I thought they took away all of his chairmanships. Seriously. Didn't he piss off everyone a few years ago and they sacked his ass?
Joe must have incriminating photos of everyone – there's just no other explanation for why all the Democrats let Joe shit all over them whenever he feels like it.
They must include dead girls, live boys and farm animals.
Uh, not quite. Even though he's Jewish, Vinegar Joe carved out the juiciest, fattest gobbet of pork for himself.
Not the Democratic Party, justkillmenow. They don't mind a little disloyalty. If you're a Democrat, you can stab your party's President in the back and STILL maintain all your cushy perks and seniority.
The little troll campaigned for John McCain, fer fuck's sake. You'd think THAT would have made a ripple…but the Big Tent of the Dems is open to everybody, even those who are trying to pull up the tent stakes.
Are you kidding? These are Democrats: They all lined up to fellate his withered schlong.
When Lieberman says "fighting an ideology," it sounds like he wants to limit their First Amendment rights or something. The concept of killing the people who are trying to kill us really does work a lot better, Joe.

Calling Michele Bachmann a "Chair" is pretty interesting. I would've said "Rock" myself.
It was Joe Lieberman's great idea to establish the Department of Homeland Security.
After seeing how well that one worked out, I've lost interest in anything he suggests.
This guy can't even make up his mind which party he belongs to. Or, apparently, to which nation he is loyal.
Joe Lieberman (J)-Israel
It should be fairly obvious where LIEberman's loyalties LIE. It ain't the US of A.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Al Gore's Veep pick!
Maybe that 54% of the American people are right about that Gore / Bush presidencies being similar.
What is the intellectual difference between Joe the Walsh and Joe the Lieberman?
I couldn't think of any either.
The difference between Joe the Plumber and Joe the Senator is a mohel.
Don't make a mountain out of this.
We had a chance to lance that boil and we let it fester. Now the necrotic tissue falls away on its own, dragging our vestigial dignity along with it.
"America’s most hated sagging senatorial sack of jowls and pus has dug another bilious canto of hate from his decaying bowels to cough into America’s face! "
Just wanted to say thank you to you, dear author, for proving that we ladytypes can bring the bitter, disillusioned snark just as hard as the big boys.
Harder even.
a good man is hard to find,
a hard woman is even better!
She said "sagging senatorial sack of jowls and pus" like it was a bad thing…
Way to kick off my Labor Day weekend! Now, on to pizza and beer with some Freedom Fries on the side! Go Tank Girl!
Just in time for Wingnut Christmas!
And the war on wingnut Christmas.
I'm enlisting in the war on Christmas.
Only 8 shopping/warring days left!
So which hater warmonger real Merkin think tank racist asshole group has ol' Joe lined up with for his "lobbyist" job when he retires? Is he gonna be Pam Geller's new BFF?
Hadassah Katzenellenbogen-Lieberman will have a few things to say about that.
Berry's Predator drones break terrorists' bones but words won't ever hurt them, you fekking anal fistula.
Lieberman needs to start dippin' if he wants to up his street cred as a "Can Do Jew." Right now, he just looks like a cranky old man who should move to Miami. [spit] Take it from me, the spit is the shit, Joe!
He should get him a can of Jew Chew. It's kosher!!
Snuff libel.
Droopy Dog has gotten really bellicose in his old age.
Ya know, Joe, there's another group of middle easterners that terrorizes the shit out of people and results in the expenditure of an inordinate share of our tax dollars. It's called "AIPAC."
Let's try this out for size Joe:
The Mossad is full of a bunch of violent kikes. See Joe, you're not part of the Mossad so I'm not afraid of offending you.
Well, sometimes he gets to be the Mossad interrogator and Lindsey plays the captured Palestinian. But let's not pursue that too far – my brain can only take so much.
So Lieberman gets to destroy Graham's "olive orchard".
Lindsey shaves his zone into a Gaza strip.
"Lieberman, who as chairman of the Homeland Security"
I'm looking forward to his being demoted to manager of Home Depot security. He can stand at the door and wait for Boehner to return that ginormous gavel for a refund.
When it comes to being offensive Joe knows his stuff.
What an asswipe-gone-wrong.
Lieberman, who as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
Thanks for nothing, Harry Reid. Traitor Joe should have been kicked to the curb.
shit eating grin
~
That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.
Obama may be the new wimpy spineless democrat on the block, but Harry Reid is the original gangster in that regard.
Now I know why Connecticut was hit by Irene.
He caught OBL for fuckity sake! Actions speak louder than words Joe. If he had caught the hamburglar, it wouldn't matter if he described him as a "world leader in hamburger extremism" or a "McDonaldsist."
I thought George Bush caught OBL?
No, it was Obama who "caught" OBL, and "buried him at sea". So there's no evidence.
No doubt he had the seal team rubbed out too.
Those SEALs will lie for fish, yaknow.
You'd think a Jewish guy might be more sensitive to scapegoating an entire ethnic group/Abrahamic faith. Hm.
Nice, but much too subtle for ol' Mumbly Joe there.
Oh Johnny, sometimes I despair of this stupid world.
WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP
I am so not gonna miss this guy being out of the Senate after 2012. But I'm sure the Sunday talk shows will keep having him on every week, along with his best buds McCain and Graham, so they can show how completely clueless they are about foreign policy, and how clueless the media is in considering them experts.
Joe Lieberman, Elder Statesman, Faux Noise Contributing Editor.
You know which other extremists were neglected to be properly identified 'cause no one called them "terrible ragheads" first?
The Eagles?
The James Gang?
O/T sorta but Godwin's Law is getting some extra attention of late~
The Founders?
Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs?
Okay now lets discuss "Christian Extremism"
and when, oh when, is the tea party gonna get classified as the hate group it really is?
IOKIYAW ?
I really would like to see someone punch Lieberman in the mouth. The bad part is that he would love it. "See, I got decked because I stand for what I believe. Woe is me."
He's still alive?
Of course he is. He's still offending me with his offensive politicking.
Clearly. Only the good die young. Evil fuckers just keep going and going and going.
What is this evil ideology he thnks we should be fighting? Zionism?
That's certainly AN evil ideology.
When does Mumbles new show on fox start? What should it be called?
Achtung du Lieber!!
Schlemiel and Friends.
The Futzy Putzy.
Boring Joe?
Whoring Joe?
Chootz-pah?
Joementum. Now with more santorum.
Lieberman is still alive?!! How old is that fucker?!
Or bombing the shit out of Iran would work, too.
Yeah, God forbid we focus on a group instead of an ideology. If we define the war as a war against a specific, tangible enemy organization, then what do we do if we destroy or otherwise incapacitate that enemy organization? Huh? What then? I'll tell you what then: the war is over! Just like that!
No, we have to define the war on terror as a war against an ideology, a war against Islamic fundamentalism. That way the war never, ever, ever, ever ends.
You'd have thought people would have learned the lesson of the Cold War: never define a specific, tangible enemy, because what are you going to do if you defeat that enemy? What if the enemy just quits and stops playing? Then the war's over! Nobody ever thinks about that.
Exactly; you need to keep the war machine going and the military-industrial complex profitable. The War on Terror (a tactic) and The War on Islamists (an non-word for an ideology) work well, but I propose something even better: The War on Bad Things. As vague as possible, it could never end, so we can putting our soldiers through the meat grinder for our war machine's profit forever!
We've always been at war with Bad Things.
Exactly! What other artificial breathing machine/food delivery system would you recommend to keep this pus-filled carbuncle alive?
Remind me to send Katherine Harris a large pepperoni.
I've got a big sausage I'd love to give to katherine harris, too.
Last time I checked we were blasting turbanos left and right with our R/C drones. Don't they run the news in Joementistan?
And here I've been referring to those terrorists who've murdered tens of thousands of innocent people in the name of an outmoded belief system as "Stacey." Thanks Joe for setting me straight; I'm sure that will change things.
Err, no, Joe, ideologies are abstract concepts, and hence intangible and incapable of being fought with marines and bullets. You actually are fighting groups, because groups of people are not abstract concepts, and thus are capable of being interacted with physically.
Go fuck yourself.
Lovingly,
Your abstract Internet mockresentative.
You're doing it right.
LovinglyAdorably,Your abstract Internet mockresentative.
Fixed.
Ideologies are people too, my friend.
I see what he means “violent extremist” could just as easily apply to Joe Lieberman. We need better code words so we know which of societies trolls of death we are decrying.
Lieberman's whining and crying sustain me.
What in the fuckity hell. He is sitting in his office thinking of new terms for violent extremists all day? This isn't psychoanalysis Joe. The first step is not naming our problem. What a stupid fucker.
"…stupid fucker."
Congratulations! You've taken the first step: Naming the problem.
He sure has a lot of choot-spa!
But he doesn't have a titanium spine*.

War on Terror War on Terror War on Terror War on Terror War on Terror — yeah I remember Joe Lieberman being a really outspoken critic of that one, too.
OK so I didn't read through the posts before posting…
sagging-jowled semitic hounddog libel!
It's not libel if it's true.
happy 9/11 month everyone!!
That's right! Visit your local VFW – they'll balloons and coloring books for the kiddies all month long.
"violent extremism" is too vague but "war on terror" wasn't?
War makes the terror go away. Everyone knows that. I learnt it on teevee.
I thought they had changed it to War on Religious Extremism. Maybe they figured out that blade could cut both ways.
And how 'bout them "weapons of mass destruction?"
The U.S.’s successful war against terrorists depends on the administration’s ability to correctly identify who its enemy is, Lieberman said.
Gee, Joe, do you want a list? How about:
1) GOP presidential candidates who call Ben Bernanke "treasonous," openly advocate states' rights and abolishing any and all governmental regulations forever, and wish that their own state would FUCKING SECEDE;
2) GOP presidential candidates who refer to homosexuals as "barbarians" and spend the vast majority of their campaign speeches advocating for eradicating them from the face of the planet;
3) GOP presidential candidates who earnestly believe that the current POTUS is the reason why G*d hates America and shows this hatred by deploying various and sundry earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters;
4) GOP presidential candidate-wannabes who travel around the country in a tricked out Barbie trailer imploring folks to take up arms and put "surveyor's marks" on elected legislators.
Does this help, you jowly Zionist motherfucker?
Like that guy they killed in Abbotabad. Totally the wrong guy to kill, big mistake. How could Obama be so stupid? Bush was much better at this sort of thing.
Bush just didn't think about him anymore.
Or those who refer to democratically enacted laws as "rammed down our throats".
I appreciate that even as you were disemboweling him with your blade forged from hardened facts, you were still polite enough to censor the "o" in G*d.
The Blade Forged from Hardened Facts is a +20 item when wielded for good.
What you said! *fistbump*
There *is no* help for that jowly Zionist motherfucker. He's gone beyond the pale. Someone needs to catch up with him in a darkened parking lot and just knee him in the nuts repeatedly.
I'm fighting an ideology too. HIS ideology. But I don't feel a need to invade countries over it. Besides, his ideology bears a remarkable resemblance to the violent, dogmatic ideology of the Islamic fundamentalists which he is so very opposed too… oh, my brain hurts.
Joe's wrong, but only because he didn't take it far enough. ALL religious extemism is worthy of our condemnation.
"We got Fundamentalist Muslims
We got Fundamentalist Jews
We got Fundamentalist Christians
They'll blow the whole thing up for you!"
You ever notice that Buddhism hardly ever blows shit up. Of course, I am biased, but still.
I agree with you to some extent, Dash. And I do believe that most Buddhists would never hurt another human being. But Buddhist monks have been known to set themselves on fire. What's with that???
Now that I think about it, I think that's a damn find example to follow for all religions. Something piss you off? Don't attack your pissmaker….kill yourself.
"Dagnabit…them fellas next door is gay! I can't stand it!"
5 minutes later – WHUMPH
I would advocate this, but think of the increase in carbon emissions.
LOL. I need a new keyboard after spraying my martini!
Gotta admit, if somehow suicide were the only option for a religious extremist, I think religious extremism would get some serious dialback.
At least with self-immolation, you don't have to take out a bunch of innocents to make a religious statement.
You may be biased, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. I can't think when I've ever heard of Buddhist extremists. And a book I once read on the spread of languages, "Empires of the Word", made the point that imperialist nations that turn Buddhist also become markedly less imperialist.
Sri Lanka.
I'm not sure what you mean, but it appears that the Tamil Tigers are mostly Hindu.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_People#Religio...
As is the Indian military. Buddhism makes up about 70% of Sri Lanka's religions…but the Tamil Tigers were declared terrorists.
Confused…
Yes, and the Sri Lankans are mostly Buddhists. The Tamil Eelam is alleging torture and mass killings by the Sri Lankan military.
I grew up with Buddhists, and agree with you that there is probably less violence in Buddhism than in any other religious creed; but less != none.
No, but some of them aren't too squeamish about mass nerve gas attacks. That's right Aum Shinrikyo, I'm looking at you.
KBJ's second post about a "Joe" today. Is it Joe Day? She's got the Joe-mentum! Kirsten Boyd Joe-ston? (sorry, I can't stop my self.)
Here in Connecticut — where the Joe-mentum is so thick I can barely see my arugula with vinaigrette — Lieberman's term is going Kevorkian in just a few months. Then he can sit at home in a bathrobe and watch videos of himself. Until there's a knock at the door and Rick Perry's goon squad says, "First, we came for the Muslims and no one spoke up. Now it's your turn."
It's Joe Friday, obvs.
OKAY! For the win, obviously.
Brilliant!
Joe's not going anywhere but back to the Senate. His
Pork DistributionHomeland Security Committee chairmanship and hedge-fund-friendly votes have made him invincible. Although term limits are a terrible idea, an exception in this case is extremely appealing.He's gone after 2012; he announced he wasn't running for reelection earlier this year (probably because he knew he'd probably lose to a real Democrat this time around):
http://wonkette.com/435499/great-sighing-warmonge...
So there’s some good news!
You would have thought he would have figured out the implications of the "first we came for the…" meme out by now.
Just like Michele Bachmann, who thinks women should submit to men but doesn't understand why all the would-be voters who picked her dumped her like a hot potato when DinglePerry jumped into the race, Joe doesn't get that whole "bigots hoist on their own petard" business.
When are you Connecticutians going to stop sending Joe to Washington?
Poor you, stuck in the Nutmeg-Fruitcake state.
When the Rick that 'Murica chooses is in the White House, Holy Joe will be ready to serve, and serve like you've never seen him before.
If only!
I think if Harry Reid had stripped this bag of pus of his committees for jumping ship and shown some testicular fortitude right then, we might not be in this pissing match we're in with the opposition today, be they repubs or the liebermans for lieberman party.
You know who else hated and demonized a religion and its followers?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone?
Torquemada?
Saul of Tarsus?
I know I'm right this time, so I'll trot out my standard answer: HITLER!!
People like Anders Behring Breivik aren't our enemies, you guys. Jared Loughner? Timothy McVeigh? No. They are not our enemy. They need our love and understanding.
Is it OK if I lovingly and understandingly beat the holy shit out of them?
Okay Joe, a fair point. How about if we just call them "non-Christians?"
Way to be inclusive.
Maybe Joe Lieberthing thinks we should make all the Moozlims wear a yellow crescent moon and star on all their clothing?
"Sack of jowls. . . decaying bowels. . ."
It's Rhyming Kirsten Friday!
Can't this old douchebag just re-fucking-tire already?
…"as opposed to what I would call an ideology, which is what we’re really fighting".
Killing ideas, Joe? But instead we're killing people, 300,000 I guess.
Also, what about selling "Defense equipment" to Qaddafi? That's how you fight ideologies? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpByMEdGGGg
Violent extremism is vague?? What's fucking vague about it??
It could be mistakenly applied to white people?
It doesn't explicitly say "sand nigger".
Looks like Joe-mentum has turned into Joe-disintegration…um.
So, when does old Vinegar Joe have to run for reelection? People of Connecticut, you have within your power the ability to send Joe home.
He's already said he is not running. Probably because you can only schnooker EVERYBODY one time before they catch on.
Don't we have anything better to talk about? Like, I dunno, fixing the economy and fighting a fucking war? We could call them the AK Appreciation Club for all I care, so long as they're captured/killed.
"First they came for the muslims, and I said 'Hey, why you being so nice to them? You need to call them a scary name, something that will make people really afraid of them. Come on, show people you're serious about this.'"
With apologies to good King Wetshimself, or whatever
♪♫ Jowly olde Joe Lieberman,
went out to dis some heathens.
There's lots of Muslins everywhere,
all treacherous he's believin'
Brightly spittle drips from his chin,
His words are lies so cruel,

Joe's such a freakin' fool ♫♪
OT, but I thought I should share:
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-gop...
Thanks for the link. Now, to drown my sorrows….
I'll help squash yours in the bathtub if you'll help squash mine.
Damn, just another truly depressing news day.
We should call the extremists by their real name, Anti-Zionists, right Joe?
Funny, but I could've sworn that Holy Joe was at that summit with Muammar, McCain, Dumpy (Lindy Graham) and SUSAN COLLINS in 2009, when Joe said, 'sometimes common enemies make the best friends.'
Oh, but that info was via a Wikileak, and you know what liars and sex offenders THEY are…
Random thoughts:
It's Friday, and time for God to send us another violent message about something. Flooding in Vermont is, like, old.
Every time I see the picture of Rick Perry shooting the pistol over his head, I think of the picture of Saddam Hussein with his rifle. Was it the same crowd? An NR&A rally?
Why can't we just call America's enemies "The Hun" like the good old days?
Seconded. Thirded. Yep.
Lieberman's buddy, John McCain said he knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding.
But he wasn't going to tell us unless he was elected.
As Dr. Phil would say, how's that working out for you?
Joe fuck yourself.
Guys, I'm disappointed with all of you. Every one of you. And here's why:
You know who else thought his government needed to stop being afraid of offending the overwhelmingly large portion of law-abiding and well-intentioned [people of a certain religion] with its rhetoric?
I guess Joe Biden is still schtupping Liebermann's Ol Lady, right? Can't say I blame him.
Joe who?

You release the same amount of carbon dioxide dead that you do alive–not accounting for your use of internal combustion engines and coal-fired electrical generating systems. At least, that's what I heard. Of course, the Buckminster releases much more methane alive than he would dead.
Good point, but we'd need to regulate what the nitwits use to ignite their soon-to-be charred remains… Bio-deisel?
In terms of sheer numbers, yeah, it would kinda be like the Shakers, wouldn't it?
