C&Ler Bill G reminded me of this clip by Max. It’s “Blumenthal’s latest that takes us on a shocking and at times bizarre tour of right-wing Pastor John Hagee’s annual Washington-Israel Summit”. Hagee introduces Liebermann by saying that he supports Joe’s vision of attacking Iran.
Hagee: Therefore it is time for America to embrace the words of Senator Joe Lieberman, and consider a military preemptive strike on Iran to prevent a nuclear holocaust of Israel.
Lieberman: I want to take the liberty of describing Pastor Hagee in the words that the Tirah uses to describe Moses….he is a man of God.
How long has Joe Lieberman known Pastor Hagee anyway? We do know as far back as July of 2007, that’s almost a year ago—Lieberman was hanging with Hagee, comparing him to Moses and knew nothing of his extreme positions? Will the press finally ask Joe about his relationship with Hagee now?
<corrected>
No Trackbacks To “Lieberman compares Pastor Hagee to Moses“
“Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.” — President Eisenhower
Let both of them, their children and grandchildren man the front lines so that they may become closer to their creator.
1. I would sure hope that the Dems strip him of EVERY chairmanship;
2. I would also like to think that Conn wouldn’t elect him again now that they know what he is really like.
Holy shit.
Lieberman can have his war as long as he promises that 10 percent of his closest relatives enlist and fight on the front lines. Anyone who votes for war should have to pledge their of-age sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and other relatives to fight in a war. After all, leaders must lead and sacrifice for the price of freedom.
Lieberman: I want to take the liberty of describing Pastor Hagee in the words that the Tirah uses to describe Moses….he is a man of God.
Milquetoast:I want to take the liberty of describing Joe Lieberman in the words that the forefathers of the constitution used to describe Benedict Arnold…ect…ect…
One amazing thing about Max is that he can keep the straight face no matter what. I would laugh my ass off all the way.
Could someone over there please start informing the US public that the big terrible bogeyman over there has roughly the same military spending as Norway, in spite of having 14-15 times the population as we do.
full on crazy people and bad dancers too!
Some would say that the Zionist neocon fringe out there is going to get us all killed.
And it’s getting harder and harder to refute that idea.
Asking Joe anything at all would imply that somebody still gave a shit what he thinks.
I would like to take the liberty of describing Joe Lieberman with a Latin phrase: Hymenolepis diminuta.
SAT fun:
Hagee is to Moses, as:
Lieberman is to:
Jefferson
Lincoln
My Dog’s Balls
Joe Lieberman and Hagee: Is Holy Joe in the Twilight Zone?
Did anyone see “Recount” on HBO?
Lieberman is shown to be a bumbling idiot back in 2000 and one of the reasons Gore lost the election.
Some things just don’t change.
If the Democratic leadership had any spine, they would publicly denounce him and his Republican attitudes.
Vincennes @ 5:
I think Obamas kids are a little young but he could sign the up “in advance” I think…
…as for Hillary and Chelsea, well I think Chelsea is old enough (and smart enough) to know this herself and I cant figure out why she hasnt joined already since her Mommy is so gung ho about the middle east and all…shame on you Chelsea
So would liebeman compare Moses successor, Johua to Adolph Hitler?
Since when do religious figures in the US advocate starting wars? Sounds pretty radical to me…sounds like the Taliban.
16 milquetoast
Hillary voted for the AUMF which was designed to slow boosh down with two requirements he never met. But the Congress as a whole didn’t call him on it, because the nation as a whole was in a blood-spilling mood.
Since then, both she and Obama have voted for the war funding.
And while she has voted to call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group, I think Obama voted present or not at all, he’s made incendiary comments regarding attacking the Pakistani-Afghani border unilaterally if it appears Ben Laden is there, and the then Musharraf government didn’t do anything about his presence.
I should also mention that the entire Congress was under repug’s sway, and the extent of the war debate was, “Why do you blame America first crowd hate America?”
Well,
I watched a minute of it and saw the same freaky people I saw at the last Republican convention. The cult just keeps changing channels. Strip these zoids of power. If they want to live on a ranch in the desert someplace I can’t stop them but I don’t want them having any influence. If I was Israel I would be very afraid.
Hagee is a disturbed person but even he must bow to self proclaimed billionaire messiah nut job, Sun Myung Moon who owns the Washington Times and has paid the Bush crime family millions over the last two decades. To make matters worse, Moon is good friends with Kim Jong Il of North Korea. We have to many nutjobs near nuclear weapons.
Bin Laden, Lieberman, Moon and Hagee are all cultists intent on bringing the world to extinction. This is what The AUM nerve gas cult in Japan tried to do. Want a scary read then check out Robert Jay Lifton’s book ” Destroying the World To Save it”. AUM was trying to acquire WMD to bring about the end of the world. They like these other dangerous cultists believe that only the chosen few will survive to create a new Eden. Manson thought the same thing when he killed Sharon Tate and others. He believed a race war would come from it.
I’m starting to think monotheism is embedded with some kind of self destruct button…..
so now are we gonna have 24/7 of liberman saying this over and over on the corporate propaganda channels ?
Norse @ 8:
Iran has 14-15 times the population of the US?? Don’t think so.
Iran ~ 66mm population. U.S. ~ 310mm. The US is about 4.7 times the population of Iran. Iran’s military spending is very roughly equiv to Norway’s at ~ $6bb in ‘07 (v. the US expected ‘08 spending of $580bb).
LIE-berman has sold himself so far down the river that only a truly twisted attitude would justify any of what he advocates - in addition to a place for himself in the “promised land”. He knows what these people represent. I’d like to be a fly on the wall for ANY of his talks to his god. Can flys laugh?
If there’s a hell - he’s going.

I bet Lieberman believes Hagee walks on water.
I suggest Hagee shows Lieberman how and he can walk to Israel
Andrew @ 24:
*points to nickname*
Norways population is 4,7 million, and Irans is at 70 million, so yes, they are 14-15 times OUR population, not yours.
My point was that Iran spends less money on military pr inhabitant than any other middle east country, and Norway are insane warmongers compared to Iran, judging by military spending pr capita, with about 13-14 times the military spending Iran has, for each citizen.
In addition, about 40% of Irans budget is spent to subsidize food and gasoline for their inhabitants, in order to keep them from protesting overly much. No sane people can look at these numbers and claim Iran is a threat to world peace.
Tirah, do they mean Torah
Or Tara shall rise again!
The MIC and religious extremists - a match made in hell.
Here’s the earliest mention I found using Lexis-Nexis:
San Antonio Express-News (Texas)

Evangelicals inclined to back Bush
BYLINE: J. Michael Parker
SECTION: RELIGION; Pg. 9B
LENGTH: 1049 words
“Lieberman is a much finer candidate than Al Gore,” said the Rev. John Hagee, a prominent San Antonio evangelical preacher. “The Jewish people have distinguished themselves as good leaders for many centuries.”
But the Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, is much closer to evangelicals’ conservative positions on social issues, said Hagee, pastor of the Cornerstone Church.
“The die is pretty much already cast,” he said. “The vast majority of evangelicals will vote for Bush, but Lieberman’s being Jewish wouldn’t be a reason - absolutely not. It will be strictly an issues race.”
“George W. Bush has made it very clear that he’s going to pursue the evangelical vote much more than Al Gore - and he’s going to get it, too,” Hagee said.
Norse @ 27:
Isn’t Norway’s military largely a peace keeping force? My cousins were in the Norwegian military, and one worked at NATO in Oslo and the other stood guard up north watching Russian (Soviet at the time, IIRC) soldiers watch them back.
A few years ago, someone suggested that we just get it over with, and ask Israel to submit a list of the countries it wants the United States to attack.
It would sure save a lot of time, as well as spare us much aggravation.
Poor Joe, the meds are obviously not working, time for him to retire after this defense of the eugenicist apologist Hagee
Norse @ 27:
Sorry, I was confused too for a minute. Yes, the nickname “Norse” should have led us in that direction, but the way it was first written indicated that the population comparison was between the US and Iran.
ysbaddaden @ 19:
OBL is dead, Benazir Bhutto said or claimed in an interview back in November.
Israel is the only middle eastern country with wmds, and they have more of them per capita than any nation on earth.
Hey Connecticut,
How do you like me now?
Signed,
Holy Joe
ChrisM70 @ 15:
Yes, I watched that horrid show! While, indeed, Lieberman was shown as the buffoon he is, the tragedy of the movie was that it pretty much gave the ‘cons a free pass and portrayed them as simply, ‘the oppostion,’ the other side, honest disagreers (most especially the extremely sympathetic portrayal of senior’s buddy, james baker). This ‘well, they’re all the same’ meme is the most pernicious of the MSM’s rantings. Shameful movie, I thought.
douchebag joe should be made to go and fight for his home country, israel.
Lieberman and his friends are either certifiable or evil. Neither has a good prognosis.
Diana @ 38:
horrible
filleddiapers, or ’sacks of sh1t’ is a better description of the worst of the GOPmoniker @ 36:
This is why Iran must be attacked now - to prevent Israel from ever having to use one of those warheads!
my fellow bretheren have blinded themselves to the reality of hagee and his ilk, and it scares the crap out of me
and i am so done with holy joe
uncle joe hussein mccarthy @ 43:
Hagee the Xtian who thinks Hitler was good for the Jews, and that Jews dont have human souls.
He should be radioactive to anybody with a brain.
McCain only dumped his endorsement after the blogs dug up Hagees neo crap.
Now Joe (on McCain staff) is going back for the money in a round about way.
Its a warped reality in the Republican world, they only care about the money and killing people (for profit).
Mel @ 4:
i concur wholly.
“Lieberman only disagrees with us on one thing. The war.”
Beware those who utter these words……. ah fuck it. just call ‘em on it. this clip alone, hopefully, makes it two. Lieberman’s a disingenuous douchebag and anyone who is still falling for his schtick is being duped.
This is frightening stuff. These people are insane and bloodthirsty. I’d love to see more from inside similar bubbles of existence.
HaHA, was that Molly Shannon at the end?
I wonder if the young man wearing the military uniform was prosecuted for using it for political purposes.
Thanks, Max. There’s no way I would have the patience for that.
*Torah not “Tirah”
Again, just oh, so enjoying the fact that I’ve never cast a vote for this weasel.
if there is one reason to watch the hbo movie “recount”, it is to watch the scene when holy joe throws gore under the bus regarding overseas absentee ballots…it was then that the man shouldve been tossed from the dem party
