    By threatening the health care reform legislation, Lieberman will lose the vote of every Jewish male. Remember: we're all hypochondriacs. #danbaum

    As a sincere hater of condescending Jewdentity politics (boo, Sarah Silverman!), I don't really mind this. He's not recommending that proponents of health-care reform pander to The Joos by warning us that otherwise our shpilkes won't be covered or something. He's just reminding his friends that old Uncle Joe already panders to us, as annoying as that may be. Plus, we recognize that, in many people's minds, Lieberman is the most prominent representative of Jews in politics, so it would be nice if he weren't quite so damn embarrassing. #danbaum

    This suggestion is a little late, but next time try the following:

    "I'm the last guy in the world to try to organize people by their after-school cartoon affiliation, but we MGM fans may be the only people to whom Senator Droopy Dog might listen...." #danbaum

    Also, neocon Jews have seriously hurt the Smart Liberal Jewish brand with their collective non-smartness and docuheyness. Of whom Lieberman is one. #danbaum

    Mistake #1: Believing Joe Lieberman is capable of understanding human speech patterns and meanings.

    Mistake #2: Thinking Joe Lieberman cares about people besides Joe Lieberman. #danbaum

    He also tweeted this same thing. Which was even more annoying because in 140 characters, it sounded like only Jewish people had a conscience.
    BUT...Lieberman is a douche and people of all faiths/non-faiths should label him as the douchebag he is. #danbaum

    Dear Senator Lieberman:

    As-a-Jew, I demand you make my four-times-yearly lymphatic drainage massage covered under the new health care. I know you can do this for me because you want my armpit nodes unblocked so when some pervert wants to lick me there he will not freak out and think I have early-stage breast cancer. I also want my facials and waxing covered, 'cause I know you want me looking good out there, representing Our People as best I know how.

    Thanks,

    BL

    I'm sorry -- having a little trouble keeping track of the doublespeak these days: are "wingnuts" the good guys, or the bad guys?

    Wow. Nine paragraphs?

    How about this... he's a Muslim. He's a terrorist. He said lots of anti-American things and then snapped and killed a bunch of people while shouting 'Allah Ackbar'.

    Yep, he's a 'Muslim Terrorist'. Case closed. #nidalmalikhasan

    Let's be thankful that Hasan survived so he can settle this bullshit for once and all. The worst thing that could've happened was if he had died and we'd be left with wackos like Lieberman to put words in his mouth or use his image to sell some freakish agenda (see: Pat Tillman)

    I think the truth is that Hasan was a very incompetent and dissolusioned soldier turned wannabe radical Islamist. If this guy is the boogieman, then a real terrorist like Scott Roeder is Godzilla, Freddie, and Jason rolled up in to one. Only no one's talking about him. #nidalmalikhasan

    @pepelicious: Right. We should believe the guy who just murdered 12 unarmed soldiers and a civilian, rather than Joe Lieberman. Because Lieberman's not liberal. #nidalmalikhasan

    @pepelicious: Who gives a flying fig what this man has to say? And are you attempting to say that the murder of 13 people is somehow less significant or horrifying than the murder of an abortion doctor, because it had nothing to do with an issue that is important to you? #nidalmalikhasan

    @pepelicious: You're assuming that he's going to talk.

    As for his radicalization, he was attending that mosque (the same one attended by 2 of the 9/11 terrorists and run by a radical, terrorism-supporting imam) before 9/11.

    Also, according to ABC News, he tried to contact some people in al qaeda. [www.abcnews.go.com] #nidalmalikhasan

    @pooks: I'm just curious what he has to say for himself. I'm not saying that he deserves to be heard, but everyone and their mother are grabbing at bits of clues to figure out his motives. I don't think he's this evil genius who had some master plan he devised with Al Qaeda like some in the media are making him out to be. In a way, that's giving him way more credit than he deserves. Odds are he'll talk and reveal himself to be a mentally unstable loser who couldn't even get Al Qaeda to support him. #nidalmalikhasan

    @no I said no I won't no: What did Joe Lieberman know about this guy when he made his comments? Probably not much more than we did at the time. He saw an opportunity to get his name out there on a slam dunk issue.

    Tell me who's profiting off the tragedy at Fort Hood? #nidalmalikhasan

    @no I said no I won't no: Really? Lieberman is the first person to turn to when a national tragedy happens, I guess. He's got it all worked out.

    Barring actual facts, it's all hearsay. Lieberman based his initial conclusion on statements Hasan allegedly made, saying that was enough to brand him a Islamist extremist, i.e. a terrorist on par with Al Qaeda. Even the Army Chief of Staff warned that it wasn't a good idea to start "connecting the dots" so early on.

    Lieberman is a callous opportunist, looking for any issue to prop him up in the public eye. Do you think he cared about the broader implications of his allegations? He's not in the Middle East fighting in a war - perhaps there was a reason the Army was concerned about such grandiose statements. Did Lieberman care? No. All he saw was the opportunity to be the first one to scream, "Terrorist!".

    The only silver lining to Gore losing in 2000 was that we were spared at least 4 years of Lieberman in the White House. #nidalmalikhasan

    Comparing this to 9/11 seriously dishonors the memory of a certain 3,000 people. #nidalmalikhasan
