Rolling Stone & Lieberman: Off The Deep End

Tim Dickinson at Rolling Stone's "Politics" section, usually a kindred spirit, went off the deep end today:


As an obsessive observer of left-of-center American political life, I’m truly angered and amazed that Joe Lieberman’s primary has become a primary focus of Democratic politics. Really people, WTF?!

I’m no Joe Lieberman fan. His preening religiosity and priggish self importance are enough to sour anyone on his candidacy. But Lieberman is a died in the wool Democrat on every defining progressive issue, save one. Yes, on the question of the war he seems content to give the president all the rope he needs to hang himself — and America. But he’s hardly alone in this. His position is matched by nearly a dozen other Democratic Senators from Hillary to Joe Biden to Ben Nelson. And unlike, say, Hillary, his commitment to the war seems moral, rather than tactical.

My response, Posted in their "Comments" section:

So in an election between Hitler & Mussolini, you'd vote for Mussolini if he were a "Democrat"? Lieberman seems quite content to send over 100,000 to their deaths, and who knows how many more to their eventual deaths due to the depleted uranium the US is spreading throughout Iraq, lifelong health problems caused by lack of pre- and post- natal nourishment. Untold post traumatic disorders for Americans and Iraqis alike. What is "moral" about all that? Who Would Jesus Torture?
