Josef Liebermann von Dolchstoss

This is the apotheosis of Godwin's Law: Joe Lieberman using Hitlerian tactics to accuse opponents of virtual treason. The man truly is geschmat, in heart if not in practice.

Lieberman Launches Unprovoked Attack On Harry Reid On Right-Winger Bill Bennett's Show | TPMCafe

Here's what Lieberman said:
"You know, Harry Reid said a while ago that the war in Iraq is lost. It's wrong. It's not lost. In fact, I would say we're beginning to win it. We've turned the tide with the new strategy. And in fact, I cannot conceive of a circumstance in which American forces would lose the war in Iraq, on the ground in Iraq. If we lose it, it's gonna be lost here at home, in a different kind of war for public opinion and political support."
It's harder to know what's more remarkable here: The fact that Lieberman said that he "cannot conceive" of even the possibility that American forces might be losing the war, or the fact that Lieberman launched an unprovoked, gratuitous attack on Reid.
UPDATE: It's really not my place to judge Joe's faith or his heart, so I recant my earlier statement. His actions, however, continue to suck moose cock.
