Debate Flashback 07: Clinton sides with Lieberman on Iran war policy; laughs about it

[ram2008]

No wonder Debbie doesn't want more debates!

I almost completely forgot about this from back in 2007.

In the clip Gravel slams Hillary for siding with Joe Lieberman on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. At the time many Democrats rightfully warned that this amendment could give Bush a backdoor to starting a War with Iran. Biden and Dodd were on stage and voted against the Amendment, Edwards and Obama were both opposed although they were not there to vote. Even Jim Webb referred to it as "Cheney's fondest pipe dream."

1. She seems eager to greenlight another invasion.

2. I'm sure it's making her funders very happy n/t

3. More evidence that Hillary is a liberal

She was obviously the most liberal person on the stage. Maybe we need to see that chart again.

4. Remember the D and keep it holy.

That is all.

5. That's our Hawky Hilly!

That clip also makes me sad for what could have been with Edwards if he hadn't, almost literally, stepped on his dick.

6. Blech, I feel like washing when I see her chickenhawk, mocking laughter.

The shit amuses her in the exact same way as her "We came, we saw, he died" joke that she thought was off camera.

Something about her just seems to not feel it, like her connection to the pain of the real world is tenuous.

Something about simply doesn't seem real. And if it IS real, it is not kind.

7. Yeah, that laugh..

hahaha.

[Fawke Em]

11. That laugh is what will do her in during the debates.

It turns people off, especially when one is laughing about killing thousands.

8. And that really got out because of the debate

A lot less people would have heard about it otherwise. They're hoping that it doesn't get out that she's such a warmonger this time. Truly disgusting how the DNC is doing everything it can to shove their chosen candidate down our throats.

9. I didn't forget, it was a bullshit attack then and now. Kyl-Lieberman didn't authorize anything.

It had same legal value as a Senate resolution congratulating the national spelling bee champion. It was a non-binding sense of the Senate resolution, and in no way authorized military action.

10. K & R !!!

12. Not my kind of Democrat.
