There’s a really sick joke in here somewhere about driving around in a car with these plates looking for a hospital that will treat rape victims appropriately…

dr. bloor 6 — yeah it’s definitely there somewhere. Though we won’t expect Joe will be at the wheel.

somebody tell me one good reason the dnc doesn’t throw this judas sheep out of the friggin party.

one good reason

this idiot hurts the party, he makes believe he is a democrat with maveric principles when he is nothing but a right wing nut repulelican dressed in sheeps clothing

we need him out of this party, and it’s better to have a republican who won’t get democratic air time then it is to have an idiot telling people he’s a republican and letting these re pukes use this idiot as some kind of example

I say cut the strings and leave him to dry with the rest of the repukelicans

Really, there is no fucking excuse for Lieberman. I am budgeting steady modest $ donations to Ned. This race is Everything in a nutshell.

Oh, and I propose a competing specialty plate that says “Eat Babies.”

OT - sorry if this has been posted before - thinkprogress:
Cheney’s secrecy violates an executive order.
The Office of the Vice President failed to report statistics regarding Cheney’s classification and declassification activity in 2005, defying an executive order requirement that he do so. The Office of the Vice President has declined to report such data since

*ilson, we’re all Margaret Sanger, all over again.

somebody tell me one good reason the dnc doesn’t throw this judas sheep out of the friggin party.

one good reason

How many Dems voted for the Iraqi invasion? Or the bankruptcy bill? Or the Patriot Act? Or John Roberts and Sam Alito and Michael Hayden?

Kicking faithless Dems out of the party is not a comfortable precedent for them to set.

Oh, I’m sorry, you asked for a *good* reason.

“Oh that shark, babe…”

2phunny.

“Eat babies” is just the thing.

Yes, eating babies is a fine idea.

Just as long as I don’t have to drive too far.

Babies: They’re not just for Breakfast.

Sharkbabe,

what about an “every sperm is sacred” plate?

well, looks like the earlier info about the Dixie Chicks being on Larry King is wrongo– American Idolatry continues there…

Hey Jane:

Do we know of any polling in advance of the Lamont-Lieberman primary?

I would love to make it to Yearly Kos but cannot.

Great props in the New Republic(an) regarding the netroots drowning out Mike McCurry on the net neutrality issue. We are being heard.

AirportCat ,
did you know that if a sperm gets wasted, god gets quite irate?

How many Dems voted for the Iraqi invasion? Or the bankruptcy bill? Or the Patriot Act? Or John Roberts and Sam Alito and Michael Hayden?

as far as the war, I can at least make excuses, they voted for giving the president authority “as a last resort”

so that one they get a pass, they actually believed the president wouldn’t kill our children for the propose of putting money in the pocket of him and his pals

as far as the patriot act, I understand the first yes vote also, they didn’t have time to read or have the language translated and they certainly couldn’t have known how the president would abuse the language

by the way, we REALLY have to start tapping into the similarity of the patriot act of bush to the “enabling act” from Hitler, the mans families have too many ties and this president is using too many tactics of that era for this to be a coincidence

even if it is a mere coincidence, it would be a powerful marketing strategy to get this administration to face some real questions

as far as Roberts and alito, that is corporate financing of their elation campaigns speaking for them

that’s another thing we have to market in the next election, taking big money out of law making influence

we would win on those two points alone

Larry King: “Chicks Nixed.”

Well, that surely makes Feingold stand out, eh?

I am convinced Lieberman is a right-winger. If he supported a majority opinion on women’s choice, it would be one thing, but he’s doesn’t. He supports these religious activist types who don’t reflect popular opinion
75% Catholics in CT (Quinnipiac poll) support a law requiring Catholic hospitals to dispense the meds/ day after pill for rape victims. And yet Lieberman sides with the activists that are howling about that law.
I feel like folks in CT have been fooled for too long.
Again, he seems to be doing the same thing with the license plates.
He seems to like these underhanded right-wing types. Like he was in a PAX tv infommercial with Jerry Falwell asking folks to save a jew for jesus. Can supply link upon request.

Me to me, I think you’re giving them too much credit. They simply caved on the war and the Patriot Act because they were afraid of being on the wrong side of them and having it used against them. I don’t think they even *thought* about what Bush would do with them.

However, they *did* have extenuating circumstances in the sense that Bush had a pretty high approval rating at the time, so opposing him was considerably riskier. They have no such excuse for Alito and Hayden.

moi,

I would follow up on that but I’m more than a little afraid of where it would go …

back in the day, my friends and I would refer to a particularly useless or obnoxious person as a “waste of protoplasm” … have to say, Lieberboy certainly qualifies

ps I give them no, absolutely, no absolution for any of those votes. If I could see the problem, surely our elected Dems could bother to find out.

ps I give them no, absolutely, no absolution for any of those votes. If I could see the problem, surely our elected Dems could bother to find out.

Yeah, I kinda think that any Dem who didn’t think Bush wasn’t going to invade is too gullible to hold elective office.

The evilness at Joe Lieberman’s core is even more insidious than I realized. What the hell have the voters of Connecticut been thinking?

Me to me, I think you’re giving them too much credit. They simply caved on the war and the Patriot Act because they were afraid of being on the wrong side of them and having it used against them. I don’t think they even *thought* about what Bush would do with them.

I know I knew the president was making up his info, and I know I knew the information was exagerated, I knew the there were no “vans of mass destruction”, and I knew there were no “aluminum tubes” of mass destruction, and I knew there was no “balsa wood drone” of mass destrcution.

that last one was the richest, it was a line of site prop plane just like you give your nephew, in such disrepair it was held together with duct tape

but I give them a pass anyway, I am after all smarter then they are, as most of the posters at firedoglake are

now, I really thing we need to start asking the questions that compare this presidents course of action to those of people pst

we really have to look to the stark similarities of the patriot act and the enabling act

here’s a starter

http://www.furnitureforthepeople.com/actpat.htm

and while the similarities might be coincidental, this president has too many “coincidental” ties to that era for us to let him have a pass on this issue, which will get dialogue started on the issue at large;

that this government is being turned into something our forefathers risked their lives to prevent

I think someone should design and sell “Choose Lamont” license plates in Connecticut.

OT In defense of English as a national language Part IV

There are some who think I have a hidden agenda or ulterior motive here in defending English as the new national lingua franca and that, ipso facto, I must lack gravitas or be some kind of ignoramus or retrograde linguistic agitator, etc. I find this ad hoc if not ad hominem. While I agree that the onus is on me to present something more than a pro forma assertion that English is the nec plus ultra of languages and the sine qua non of a cohesive American society, do not expect a mea culpa from me.

First, a few caveats: caveat lector (applicable here), caveat emptor (always a good idea), and cave canem (ditto). That said, English is the de facto national language of our country. Its importance is sui generis. I think we can all agree on this although de gustibus non disputandum. De jure recognition of English would, mirabile dictu, change nothing. It would simply wrap our language in the flag and amor patriae. Some say it would be racist. O tempora! O mores! It is the vox populi. It is the modus operandi that makes our modus vivendi possible. It is not a quid pro quo. OK, well maybe it is but that’s not my point. It’s not a casus belli. It’s more sic semper tyrannis. Remember we live not in a pro bono society but a cui bono one.

I could go on ad nauseam but I think my ignotum per ignotius argument speaks for itself. English is our national language because it is our national language and can alone express what so many other languages cannot. QED.

In case some of you aren’t aware, the “Crisis Pregnancy Centers’ almost always set up shop next door to or on the same block as legitimate PP or other womens’ clinics, all the better to fool the already scared and not very alert women seeking help.

The latest of the ploys is the wingers bankrolling ultrasound equipment so that the women coming in see the pictures of their little helpless “babies” which convinces them not to terminate. It is things like these license plates that help raise money for the ultrasound machines.

My disdain for Joementum grows by the day.

Go NED!

Beautifully done, Hugh!

Carpe Diem!

Somewhat on topic, I think…

A couple of threads back, Jane made the following comment in the EPU’d Zone:

“At the time the PP people were focused on a big celebrity fundraiser in Boston; they all arrived in limos, had to give tickets away for lack of interest and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

That did it for me: No more of my money to Planned Parenthood. I think they do some good things, but my $20 would not begin to pay for one limo. I think it could be put to better use elsewhere.

Being pro back yard abortion is not being ‘ pro-life’. It’s the opposite and we ought to be screaming that from the rooftops. Here the heck is your ‘ party of death!’
If peeps are sending panties through the post to the press then how about wire coat hangers to coffin Joe and his confrere’s.
Also lets get the consumer affairs and truth in advertizing officials onto these liars and frauds. These CON artists are taking money under false pretences - thats a crime anywhere.
Enough is enough.

Good one. If we tried, we could probably come up with a lot of “road” songs for “short ride” Joe.

Not the least of which, goes something like:

Hit the road Joe
And don’cha come back
No mo, no mo, no mo, no mo

orangejumpsuit

I think she’s going Tuesday.

me to me #8, the dems won’t get rid of Lieberman because the dems are clueless fucking wimps. Look at how Lieberman got in the Senate: the Republicans pulled the plug on Lowell Weicker. They were hardass enough to give up a Senate seat to stop Weicker from fucking with them, at a time when they were the minority party like the dems are now. And they got the majority by continuing to be hardass.

Now what’s going to happen with Lieberman. We hope Lamont wins the primary but realistically, Lieberman is still probably the favorite. And what’s going to happen when Lieberman is renominated? The dems will NOT pull the plug on him the way the GOP did to Weicker. They will support him like the gutless piss-shits that they are, he will be reelected, and they will run a piss-shit campaign against McCain (or whoever) and lose the WH again in 2008. They will lose and lose and lose until they understand that like the GOP does, that to fight a winning war you have to accept casualties on your own side.

Lieberman must go, whether he is renominated or not, come what may.

I can’t get the link from “Joe Lieberman” to work at the end of the 3rd paragraph. Can you fix it?

I guess there’s nothing wrong with people paying to express their political views on license plates- if that’s what this thing is about- but you ought to have ALL views available–”Right to chose” would of course be an option- but there should be MORE- Gay Marriage Now–IMPEACH BUSH- Wickens for Christ- you know- the whole spectrum- then they could make some
REAL money.

I know that my current state of residence (Louisiana, and not for much longer I hope) has a “Choose Life” license plate, but out of curiosity I decided to see what else they offered. The list is quite lengthy and includes “In God We Trust”, “Wild Turkey Federation” (is this a drinking society??), “Life Center Full Gospel”, “Knights of Columbus”, “Knights of the White Camelia” (OK, I made that one up), “Knights Ladies of Peter Claver”, “Sons of Confederate Veterans”, and five High Schools. Interstingly enough, the fee for me to convert my ordinary license plate to a “Choose Life” plate is $69, I swear, I am not making that one up!

neuro 40

Here’s a slightly extended version:

Hit the road, Joe
And don’cha come back
No mo, no mo, no mo, no mo
Hit the road, Joe
You “Choose Life” license plate ho

I would mind the “Choose Life” license plates a lot less if Karl Rove was personally handcrafting them…

Hugh! Et com spirit 2-2-0!!

Is Lieberman a pro lifer? I didn’t think so. Surely Gore wouldn’t have put a pro-lifer on the ticket- would he?

“$69 is Mighty Fine” might be a good alternative plate, AirportCat… just sayin’. Tres ridiculous!

I like “Chose death- vote Republican”

I think a “Choose Lamont” licence plate in Connecticut needs to happen. If it gets rejected, we can see what the courts have to say about that. “Choose life” is clearly a political slogan.

I like “Chose death- vote Republican”

That’s much catchier than my “It votes Republican or it gets the hose again” idea.

As if the whole license plate crap isn’t offensive enough? Fuck Joe the worthless piece of shit. MAN i really hate this guy.

Had a boss once who promoted “Nuke a Gay Whale for Christ” license plates- didn’t ever catch on though.

As if the whole license plate crap isn’t offensive enough? Fuck Joe the worthless piece of shit. MAN i really hate this guy.

Hopefully Lamont will have enough ad money to throw Joe’s vilest votes and decisions right back in his face.

Good thread. I have to admit it, if I saw one of those plates I don’t think I would have ever thought through the financial consequences. I would have viewed it more like a bumpersticker and not thought a thing about it.
>>>>>>>>>>

Btwn the A & C link from BlankK below thread and Hugh’s continuing series on English as the National Language (will that be followed by a series on Grammar as the National Pastime and will Nike be making shoes appropriate for punctuation *g*) I hit the weekend in a halfway decent frame of mind.

How bout “Chose Blowjob” with a portion of the proceeds to go to the “Oral Sex Education Institute”?

I thought I couldn’t be more shocked by Holy Joe, but this takes the cake.

The link “Joe Lieberman” doesn’t work — is it a link to information about the letter of support from Lieberman? I’d really like to see this and start to spread the word.

How bout “Chose Blowjob” with a portion of the proceeds to go to the “Oral Sex Education Institute”?

I understand they have a fine HummBA program. They’ll also let you play “doctorate”.

me to me #20 and #29…. How right you are about the Enabling Act and the Patriot Act. I’ve seen the similarities and have tried to tell others, but they dismiss it as fanasty.

We are almost living under an illusion of Democracy without our constitution in tact. Until or unless everyone wakes up we will find ourselfs in the same boat as the German people did.

Everyone better start reading up on the rise to power of Hitler, if that doesn’t open their eyes than nothing will and we will be doomed to worst than what happened to Germany when the world stood against Hitler.

Not to scare anyone, but think Nuclear War and what will be left of our country.

Hugh, I bow down to your excellence! Amazing.

I agree, if we could see it…no check that, feel it before 04, then how is it that these people keep going back looking for different results. I have become unshockable when it comes to the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress; when something unprecedented and obviously illegal and someone tells me about it with amazement, I tend to ask them whether they bothered to vote in 04. I can use my pretty limited energy to change things by working on them here but faced with apathy, I don’t get into passionate discussions anymore. I point them in the right direction and I never say “I told you so”. What is really the hardest for me is that so many people just don’t want to know the details, they’re happier soaking up the current scandal for a day or so, chatter about it saying,”they should do this, or they should do that” then they just change thier mental channel and it’s gone. It is something I am just incapable of understanding.

Having pain and fatigue has been a gift in a way because ithas forced me to find the stillpoint of my desire and function on this planet. Working in the world of death and dying constantly reminds me that today is the only day I have, so it has to be about what I love and it has to manifest what I am to myself. If I don’t work for justice and for the future for my children, if I don’t give myself that gift, I have lost that chance forever. My contribution does not have to be grand, a few dollars, a call, a note; it sometimes isn’t even that tangible, but it has to be mine and it has to be done with intention.

Time for republican lite Joe to take his liberal compassion to the private sector. I am sure we will all be better for it.

Republican, the last choice.

I wish people would just go back to bumper stickers to express their political opinions or various group affiliations. I’m very uncomfortable with the state lending its imprimatur (Hugh, did I get that right?) to these things by putting them on vehicle license plates.

I’ve read a lot about the rise of Hitler. It all happened under the worst economic conditions imaginable- after just losing a war and being forced to pay unbearable reparations- with fascists and communists fighting in the streets- and everyone hungry.

We HAVE no such excuses.

the slight majority of Democrats in Congress voted against the War on Iraq. Almost every GOP member voted for it …

zennurse

Beautiful thoughts beautifully written.

Jane, do you have documentation that Lieberman “believes that it’s okay for the state’s license plate to advertise anti-choice slogans and support ‘pregnancy centers that do not offer abortion as an alternative,’ a lynch pin in the right-wing war to deny women choice”?

That seems like something that needs to become more widely known.

I would be interested to know whether any of the “Choose Life” license plate money that these various state governments are so generously raising for anti-choice groups is being used to lobby for anti-choice legislation or donated to political campaigns of anti-choice candidates, not just to fund anti-choice “pregnancy centers” …

Eli- Yeah and cut rate prices from the undergraduates.

I’ve read a lot about the rise of Hitler. It all happened under the worst economic conditions imaginable- after just losing a war and being forced to pay unbearable reparations- with fascists and communists fighting in the streets- and everyone hungry.

We HAVE no such excuses.

See, here’s the thing, and why we’re peculiarly vulnerable: Americans believe America is not just *a* democracy, but Democracy and Freedom Incarnate. Therefore it is simply *impossible* for America to ever become anything other than a Democracy.

America’s unquestioning belief in democracy is undermining its commitment and watchfulness to same.

Great post, zennurse.

Eli- Yeah and cut rate prices from the undergraduates.

Not that that in any way devalues the foreskin that they give you on graduation day.

that “Choose Life” license plate scam is a well-known national tactic of the so-called Right-to-Life movement. Lieberman and his staff know that — they have no excuse to have supported it with a letter.

OOhhhh, sorry, rereading my somber comment, it falls heavy into all that fun.

I got inspired by Eli at 24

What, I inspired somebody? Holy shit!

Yeah- and the other way of thinking about it is that Americans are terminally stupid, gullible, ignorant, and fantasy ridden.

(I promise it won’t happen again)

Basically, yeah. The idea of America prevents them from seeing the reality of America.

I am trying to decide whether to make the list of which senators voted for and which voted against Herr Hayden for CIA chief as much of a litmus test for Democrats in my own political equations as the list of how senators voted on Alito cloture(I find it simply appalling). Any thoughts?

You did good, Eli, made me feel good to write.
Thanks, Hugh, a little Buddhist politics.

I’m thinking of a lyric from Pearl Jam, don’t know which song, he sings, “Aint gonna be any middle anymore!” I yell that in my car, but I don’t know the rest yet.

Losin a war- growing deficits- ignorant kids who don’t know where China is on a map- We’d be in a lot of trouble if God weren’t on our side- glad he chose us!

Link fixed to “Joe Lieberman,” It’s from the Hartford Courant article:

A swirling national First Amendment debate hit Connecticut Thursday as the Department of Motor Vehicles said it will stop issuing special “Choose Life” license plates for The Children First Foundation - a New York-based pro-adoption group opposed to abortion - while it investigates, along with the attorney general, whether the foundation qualifies for the plates.

DMV Commissioner Ralph J. Carpenter agreed to reconsider the small foundation’s eligibility for the plates - a status it applied for, and was granted, in 2003 - based on a letter Wednesday from Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and a Democratic state legislator charging that the group has “negligible, if any, `operations’ in Connecticut, much less a base of operations in this state.”

The charge surprised the nonprofit group’s founder and president, Elizabeth Rex of Yonkers, N.Y. She had heard nothing from Blumenthal about such questions - but she quickly produced a series of letters from Connecticut officials who have recognized her group’s efforts in recent years. The letters came from Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Govs. John G. Rowland and M. Jodi Rell, the state’s child advocate - and Blumenthal himself.

[]

She said the group supports pregnancy centers that do not offer abortion as an alternative

You can read he rest of the article here.

neuro- if you stick with Feingold, you’re all set.

Can we remember if Kennedy voted for cloture? I don’t think he did.

I am trying to decide whether to make the list of which senators voted for and which voted against Herr Hayden for CIA chief as much of a litmus test for Democrats in my own political equations as the list of how senators voted on Alito cloture(I find it simply appalling). Any thoughts?

Works for me. I’m always interested every time Democrats vote for Republican legislation or nominees.

The other thing I would be interested in is Democratic Senators who voted against cloture on a bill or nominee, and then voted against the bill or nominee itself so they could claim they “opposed” it. That’s just about the pinnacle of phoniness and hypocrisy for me.

“online abortions- back to work in five minutes”.

Kennedy voted NAY.

Florida has the odious Choose Life license, I believe, Thanks Jeb.

===Lamont Wins MoveOn’s Endorsement in Online Primary, Tops Lieberman 85 Pct. to 14 Pct.

(Comtex Business Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006 (U.S. Newswire via COMTEX) –Ned Lamont has won MoveOn’s endorsement for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in the organization’s online Connecticut primary by a margin of 85 pct. to 14 pct.

The online primary was conducted during a 24-hour period beginning May 25th at 8 am. Lamont’s win, which was triggered when he passed two-thirds of the votes cast by MoveOn’s Connecticut members, will mean funding and volunteer support from the national organization’s members in his quest for the Democratic Party’s nomination in August.

“Lamont’s substantial vote margin indicates the dissatisfaction of many MoveOn members over Senator Lieberman’s continued support for the war in Iraq; his support for Big Oil’s energy bill; and overall fatigue with the senator,” said Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn.org Political Action. “Lamont’s message resonated with members who want a senator who will stand up to President Bush on key issues and represent the views of most people in Connecticut,” Pariser added.

Last Thursday, both campaigns agreed to submit a message from the candidate or a surrogate, as Senator Lieberman did during MoveOn’s 2004 online presidential primary. On Monday evening, however, Lieberman’s campaign informed MoveOn that the senator had changed his mind and would not communicate with MoveOn’s Connecticut membership.===more

Eli, I think you mean voted against nominee and for cloture, canceling out their against vote allowing cloture to occur and the nominee to go through.

Eli, I think you mean voted against nominee and for cloture, canceling out their against vote allowing cloture to occur and the nominee to go through.

Oops, yes. I guess I got caught between “against filibuster” and “for cloture”…

And one day God got tired of the yurapeans an the muslims- so he decided to make a little piece of paradise in the west- where the skies are not cloudy all say- so he put only GOOD people there- and he gave it the free enterprise system so that all the GOOD people would be rich and drive big cars- then he gave em big bombs so that they could kill all the BAD people- nad that’s how American came to be- yep- you can look it up!

Remember when PP and NARAL gave Joe that big thank-you tongue bath for voting “against” Alito?

Thanks for the link, Jane. The article is informative. I think this is a very important issue.

I believe adoption is a worthy goal that society should support, but it needs to be carefully distinguished from political activity that opposes abortion rights.

I would like to know whether the State of Connecticut (or other states) imposes any limitations on the sponsoring groups as to how the money generated from the sale of these license plates can be used–in a way similar to how the IRS imposes restrictions on how groups with not-for-profit status spend their funds (a separate but analogous issue).

If the state is in any way, shape or form supporting anti-choice political action through this program, it is wrong and needs to be stopped. And Joe Lieberman needs to be held accountable for his role in it. He can’t have it both ways. Is he for us, or against us?

“Three Gods in One” ???

That’s that whole “Trinity” thing, ‘eh?

Senator Kennedy voted “NO” on Alito cloture. He is one of the good guys.

neuro, honey, he’s against us. No question.

neurophius — I would argue that “choose life” in itself is a political slogan, and has nothing to do with the notion of supporting adoption.

Eli @97, Jane’s been all over that like a cheap Armani

I figured as much. I probably read about it here. Inexplicable. But then, so is rolling over for a right-wing ideologue with a very questionable ethics history, nominated by a president who is extremely unpopular outside his base…

Just saw the first negative ad by Lieberman camp against Lamont. Shows Lamont like one of those inflatable clowns you hit, but it keeps coming back.

Not verbatim, but the concept is that we don’t know the REAL Ned Lamont — the one who supported cutting education funding (in Greenwich — one of the richest zip code in the country), decrease money given to the public health department and favored having town employees kick in for their own health insurance.

That’s the REAL Ned Lamont — then we get a full screen Lieberman in front of flag — but he does not say he approves the message. Hmmmmm

Thanks on the Kennedy thing, I wanted to be sure.

He’s my Senator and for all the bluster, the man can make a speech and for all his damned money, he really does work for everyone, unlike some other senators I could name (Cough)Frist(Ahem)

scuse me—allergies.

We seem to be allergic to the same things…

I see Kennedy roar for all of the poor and downtrodden in America all the time on the Senate floor– he is a good man.

Sometimes, I just wonder how he who has had so much grief in his life, keeps going. I think he is lifted up on angel’s wings and floated upon their tears.

Oh, I agree. Support for adoption is just the rationale that the group has argued for the plates. The slogan itself says nothing about adoption. It is most definitely political–witness its obvious connection to the whole so-called “Right to Life” movement. “Life” has become a political code word.
