Lieberman and his right-winger want Iran War (audio)

'We are proud of you,' Glenn Beck...

Joe Lieberman helped Glenn Beck get into Yale and he's proud: "We are proud of you friend. Keep on going." This is what he wants to keep on going:

When he's not busy being a Muslim-hating immigrant-bashing bigot, Beck passes time by lavishing praise on Republicans and trashing Democrats ("stupid people vote for Kerry," and here's Beck on Iranian President Ahmadinejad: "This guy is Howard frickin' Dean").

Perfect venue for Lieberman then. Should he wonder why he's become reviled by many in his party, why he lost the primary to a virtual unknown, he might reconsider cozying up to Limbaugh-like talkers who attack his party and its ideas, who mock whole groups of people, and who promote more war. Unless he agrees with them... which he seems to.

In the audio from the show (upper right) we have Joe Lieberman, who is now officially on the ballot in Connecticut, pandering to bigot Glenn Beck's idiotic and bellicose statements on Iran, repeatedly casting Iran as Nazis, saying things like: "everything you say is true." As well as sounding eerily similar to the administration:

"It is the test, unfortunately, of not just this generation of american leaders, but of the next generation as well."

Compared to the rhetoric of the White House through the orifice of Tony Snow: "Throughout American history, generation after generation has been faced with difficulties. And each generation has risen to the challenge, and we're confident that this generation will do the same."

What a co-ink-ee-dink.

Beck says that unlike the Soviets during the cold war, the Iranian leadership has "a death wish."

Joe says "YES!" and adds that the difference in the fanatacism between Iran and the Soviet Union is that the Iranians are "crazy." That the Soviets ultimately wouldn't have done anything to get into a nuclear war...

Have you turned retarded Joe?

The senator continues noting that the Iranians love death, unlike the Soviets who love life... and then the ZINGER.... ta-da:

They're more like the fascists of WWII.

Joementum gathers.
