Joe goes loco
Craziness erupts at the Lieberman/Lamont debate in Connecticut.
Guess who was responsible? (I mean, apart from Lyndon LaRouche's cabal? They're the lowest common denominator. Divide through by LaRouchians to get the true craziness factor of any political event.)
One of Jane Hamsher's sources emailed from the scene:
Evidently after the debate Lieberman walked up to Ned and said "You goddamn sonovabitch," and something to the effect of "how dare you run those direct mail pieces accusing me of voting for the energy bill in 2005 because of campaign contributions from the oil companies." Joe's losing it.
Joe's so cute when pretends to be Richard Nixon.
Just wait for the you-won't-have-Joe-to-kick-around-anymore speech (coming very soon).

I actually know someone whose brother was sucked into the LaRouche cult. It's very weird because it really is a true cult, complete with brainwashing.
Now that the Scientologists have taken over and completed gutted CultWatch, their only option is to try and keep contact and hope he comes to his senses.
Very sad.

At least Nixon had enough pride (ha ha...I keed, I keed) to resign 1 second before being booed off the stage. He could have fought...but he probably would have lost.
The last act of NiceGuy Joe "You goddamn sonovabitch" Lieberman's swan song will take it all the way.
The real joke is on the folks that voted for him as a 'Democrat' last time. The tragedy is that he'll probably win as a 'Lieberplican' this time.

Sounds reliable! Let's run with it!

I just today read a http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,1874289,00.html>very freaky story about a Jewish Londoner who died under very suspicious circumstances, after falling in with LaRouche devotees in Germany (he apparently didn't know--and I didn't either--that they're virulently anti-Semitic).

"Now that the Scientologists have taken over and completed gutted CultWatch"
I find this kind of stuff interesting? How did they dismantle it? Did they sue them? Buy the website? I checked out their website and DID notice they deftly left out the Scientologists, however, included more of the well known religions like the Mormons, which to my knowledge is much larger than Scientology.

Typo, was meant to just be a statement of interest, nothing more.
