Joe Lieberman, Still an Asshole
Aug. 3rd, 2010 03:45 pmHoly Joe comes out against the Islamic Center in lower Manhattan.
This whole issue is a great litmus test. People who oppose the Islamic center are bigots or fools, or like to associate with bigots and fools. Now I can sympathize with family members of 9/11 victims who oppose the project; they're still bigots, but its a bigotry I can excuse, out of compassion for their loss. Politicians like Joe Lieberman have no excuse. They're just rotten human beings.
