This captures the nut of what is wrong with Lieberman:

The Tortoise and the Birds
A Tortoise desired to change its place of residence, so he asked an Eagle to carry him to his new home, promising her a rich reward for her trouble. The Eagle agreed and seizing the Tortoise by the shell with her talons soared aloft. On their way they met a Crow, who said to the Eagle: "Tortoise is good eating." "The shell is too hard," said the Eagle in reply. "The rocks will soon crack the shell," was the Crow's answer; and the Eagle, taking the hint, let fall the Tortoise on a sharp rock, and the two birds made a hearty meal of the Tortoise.
Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions.
(Aesop)

From the BBC::

"The spokesman said: "The actual first document, we don't know where it is, they don't know where it is and all they have is a photocopy handed over by an unnamed source."

Typographical analysis showed Mr Galloway's name was in a different typeface, a lighter shade and at a different angle to the rest of the document, he said.

The spokesman suggested Mr Galloway's name had been stuck to the bottom of the list, and the document photocopied. " Read More

'LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS

"The Marine who shot an injured Iraqi holy warrior in Fallujah, and was filmed by Kevin Sites (who promptly released the footage to the world), may not be charged for the killing, in a triumph of common sense. This Marine has been raked over the coals for doing the right thing to protect himself and his comrades in a combat situation. But Kevin Sites, who handed the enemy a tremendously useful piece of propaganda, is rewarded by Wired magazine."'

No doubt these are people who expressed shock and outrage when certain ex-military liars claimed that the rocket-wielding guerilla John Kerry chased down and shot was just a half naked teenager, minding his own business. Read More

President Bush came to Raleigh and hel one of his trademark closely screened town hall style campaign rallies to promote his idea that Social Security must be replaced with a private account scheme.

The meeting was what one would expect: only the ideologically pure were allowed to attend and the event was geared towards generating photo opportunities and sound bites.

Congressmen David Price and Brad Miller also held a town hall meeting.

Here is an example of the kind of Christian charity we can expect from the crowd that we hear whining non-stop about how Christmas is being stolen from them by evil secularists. They claim to know the mind of Jesus, but seem to have never read his actual words.

Minister defends evicting family
'Jesus would have done same thing'

The Associated Press

ELIZABETH CITY -- The director of a homeless shelter says he was right to evict a 21-year-old pregnant woman and her three children after the woman violated one of the shelter's rules by allowing her children's uncle to visit in her room.

GOP Office Vandalized

This morning the online edition of the News and Observer reported that approximately 100 masked members of a mob vandalized and attempted to burn the Raleigh, NC Republican Headquarters. The mob was stopped before any serious damage could be done... to the building.

The article mentioned other acts of election-related vandalism and violence on the part of Bush opponents. It did not mention any of the many acts of violence on the part of the Right during the election.

The attack on the Raleigh Republican HQ was deplorable and can not be justified on any grounds. It was wrong and should be repudiated from every corner. It has also given the Right more ammunition with which to try to club the Left. A few thoughtless and criminally inclined elements among the opponents of Bush have given the entire side of the political divide a black eye. We can not let this happen again.
