Lieberman implies that Obama is... A MARXIST! Socialism is OK for Israeli settlements, not for American health care or federal oversight of pensions

Lieberman: It’s ‘a good question’ to ask if Obama is ‘a Marxist.’

Lieberman implies that Obama is... A MARXIST! Socialism is with OK for Lieberman re the government SUBSIDIZATION of Israeli settlements - both in terms of direct Israeli government subsidies, and religious tax-deductions here for American taxpayers, but in typical right-wing fashion, Mr. Lieberman demeans and sneers at the notions of affordable health care for Americans, affordable, state subsidized higher education, or government investments in disease control, transportation, and dozens of other issues that under grid the American way of life as we have come to know it over the past 5 decades.

For more on how the despicable Mr. Lieberman and his Wall St. Insurance, big-finance, banking, and credit cronies, lobbyists, and donors WANT to SOCIALIZE the risk of their shaky financial schemes (derivatives, LBOs, hostile takeovers, "economic hit men" extortionate loans that are guaranteed to fail, etc.)

For THE TEXT-BOOK EXAMPLE of Neo-Con DEMAGOGUERY, watch Lieberman crony-in-crime BILL KRISTOL, the co-chairman of the PNAC "bomb Iraq now!" orgy of neo-con war lust -
(Kristol's "Project for a New American Century" which called for bombing, invading, and occupying Iraq... back in June 1997)

Lieberman: It’s ‘a good question’ to ask if Obama is ‘a Marxist.’

In his New York Times column today, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol claimed that Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) now-infamous “bitter” remarks sound like Karl Marx’s “famous statement about religion.” On the Brian and the Judge radio show today, Fox News’ senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano asked Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) if Obama is “a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case?”

“I must say that’s a good question,” replied Lieberman, before stepping back to say that he would “hesitate to say he’s a Marxist”:

NAPOLITANO: Hey Sen. Lieberman, you know Barack Obama, is he a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case in today’s New York Times? Is he an elitist like your colleague Hillary Clinton says he is?

LIEBERMAN: Well, you know, I must say that’s a good question. I know him now for a little more than three years since he came into the Senate and he’s obviously very smart and he’s a good guy. I will tell ya that during this campaign, I’ve learned some things about him, about the kind of environment from which he came ideologically. And I wouldn’t…I’d hesitate to say he’s a Marxist, but he’s got some positions that are far to the left of me and I think mainstream America.
