Sharpton Faults Obama Support For Lieberman

Submitted by Marlene, Apr 12, 2007 18:44

I've supported Obama's candidacy because I understood that he had never supported Bush's "adventure" in Iraq (and it's NOT pronounced "Eye-rack") -- as Hillary Clinton did! But if he's a Lieberman-lover, then I'll have to rethink matters. We must STOP THE WAR, STOP THE KILLING, bring ALL the combat troops home where they are safe, and do our level best to repair the devastating damage we've done. That includes injuries suffered by Iraqis at the hands of U.S (and Coalition) troops and injuries that our military hospitals refused to treat!

You may think it "nasty" of Sharpton to criticize Obama, but if he's been snuggling up to Joe Lieberman, who is apparently nothing but a Republican functionary wearing Democrat's clothing. I applaud anyone's criticism of Joe Lieberman, and I'm glad for anyone who is courageous enough to speak out.
