The official arguement against Joe Lieberman is that the radical left wing of the Democratic party opposes his support for the US war against terrorism in Iraq. Yet a friend of mine, who is a local democratic party official here in Palm Beach County pointed out too me, other democrats such as Hillary Clinton, who support the war in Iraq are not being targeted by these same radical leftists.

Indeed my friend noted John Kerry's proposal to have US troops leave Iraq couldn't even get the majority of the Democratic Senators. Yet not one of these Senators have been targeted by the left for defeat in the upcoming election.

Lieberman's difference that enrages the radical left isn't his policies or his political beliefs. Rather it is his being an Observant Jew. It is his Jewishness that has raised the ire of the left and demands his removal from the political scene. The left doesn't have a problem with Jews in last name only like Schumer but a committed religious Sabbath observant Jew like Joe Lieberman has no place in the new Democratic party of the radical left.
