Jimmy Carter on Joe
Via Atrios
:
Jimmy Carter on Lieberman, excerpted from his interview with Larry King tonight:
He's been strongly in favor of the Iraqi war from the very beginning. He was one of the originators of the public statements that misled the American people into believing that the Iraqi war was justified. He's been an undeviating supporter of the war from the very beginning and still is. He's joined in with the Republican spokespersons by saying that Democrats who disagree are really supporting terrorism. So for all these reasons I've lost my confidence in Joe Lieberman and don't want to see him re-elected.
And Joe's response? His spokeswoman says :
[I]t is entirely false to suggest that Joe Lieberman in any way equated dissent about the war with supporting terrorists.
As Atrios and our own CTBlogger have pointed out, Joe is the guy who said this:
If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do, get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England. It will strengthen them and they will strike again.
Joe should be more careful. That statement is a little too fresh to have been flushed down the memory hole just yet.
