| Lamont-bots and Kossacks attack Lieberman website |
| 2006-08-08 |
| Excellent roundup of the story by blogger Brendan Loy ("Irish Trojan") at the link. Sen. Lieberman's website and e-mail servers have been DoS'd for the last 18 hours--just in time for election day!--and the Kos Kiddies are spreading a bogus story that it's because Lieberman didn't pay his bandwith bill. Lamont's campaign denies doing it themselves, and I tend to believe them--but I wouldn't put it past some of the BDS sufferers who've lined up behind Lamont. Anyway, go hit the link. |

| #13 Yes, Fred, et al attract an amazingly high caliber here. This place has kept me sane across several different dimensions since I found it -- only one of which involves knowing whether or not to worry when Mr. Wife gets on an airplane to fly across one of the oceans. Charming story about your daughter -- clearly she understands the purpose of a bar mitzvah is to become a formal part of the Jewish community, and she made it happen. And kudos on her standing up to the idiots -- not many have grown character so young. No guarantee she'll encounter antisemitism though. Truth to tell, I haven't really, despite living in Germany and then Belgium for half of the 1990s, amongst the corporate expats. |

| #11 Good riddance to bad garbage. Leiberman changes his views to suit his moment. So another dhimmicrat slimes in place. |

| #10 Thank you TW. The level of decency here is abnormally high. At dinner we spoke of this leiberman thing and thhe subject of another thread, the latent anti-semitism (not so latent) of the left wing. I am not religious but I am trying to explain to my daughter that even though we are not religious and her mother is a catholic and I , a JEw she bears my name and must understand that the Jews are HER people, and that she is going to hear diusturbing stuff as I have. Then she tells me a story. At summmer camp, there were a couple of JEwish girls annd one was saying that she lives where there is no Temple so she had no Bat Mitzvah. They gave her an impromptu ceremony, and some of the less well-educated girls werte teasing and making fun. She says she tollf them off and I beleive it. Karatte lessons are a good thing. Gives you some spine. I may not have any but at least I know how to grow it. The thought that I could die while this stuff goes on and on is very hard. |

| #9 We are your friends, J. D. Lux. Regardless where we stand on the lesser issues, we here all agree on the critical one: winning the War on Terror completely -- now -- so that our children won't have to re-fight it, either there or, God forbid, here. And I think that's how we'll all vote, regardless of party, until that happens. |

| #8 I am waiting for one person (either party) to lay out what Rantburgers all know (deplatitudinization) and describe a tough policy. No0body does it. Even the president dances around the subject. Beyond that I still cling to certain values but not to others. Pro choice Pro -universal healthcare pro Social security Pro-military Anti flag burning and flag burning amendment Anti gay marriage and anti anti-gay marriage amendment Anti illegal immigration Pro-mass deportation Pro WOT Pro nuking Iran Generally still LOVE my country just like mom and dad taught me. And STILL learning who my real friends are. Just like Joe L. |

| #7 I was a Dem for 31 years. No more. I can't even imagine what kind of mental space I'd have to be in, to even consider voting for one of the current crop of idiots. Or ever again, for that matter. |

| #6 I am a Dem. Those DU babies threw me out after one post. It is very uncomfortable to be stuck in the middle with vrtually no voice. Rantburgers are MUCH (infinitely) mre tolerant than the 'tolerant;' liberals. I want them gone. They need to straighten up. This is not a game anymore . MArbles are at stake. |

| #5 #4: "basically bar the DU from the DNC" That won't work - the DNC has to want the DU to be gone. And they don't. |

| #4 A country needs two parties. Three is too many, one not enough. What we need to do is chase out all these stupids who think Che Guevara was some kind of great guy: basically bar the DU from the DNC. Let 'em vote for LArouche or something. |

| #2 Is it a registered party members primary or an open primary? |

| #1 I may be crazy but I hope that Lamont, McKinney, and every other LLL Mo0b@+ running under the Democratic Party banner. It will only hasten the partyÂ’s demise and keep them from power. |
