RIP Paul Alexander. What a fighter.
I was watching MSNBC tonight and the hosts didn't really cover Lieberman's death. It was hardly mentioned at all after the initial report. I guess he really was a persona non grata in the Democratic party.
His efforts against the ACA / health care is probably why.
Joe Lieberman, Iraq War Cheerleader and Killer of Public Option, Dead at 82
"Joe Lieberman's legacy will live on as your medical debt.""Up until the very end, Joe Lieberman enjoyed the high-quality, government-financed healthcare that he worked diligently to deny the rest of us. That's his legacy," said Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, which advocates for universal, single-payer healthcare.
As Warren Gunnels, majority staff director for Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), explained, "Joe Lieberman led the effort to ensure the Affordable Care Act did not include a public option or a reduction in the Medicare eligibility age to 55."
That will be Lieberman’s legacy, trying to kill public health care reform and rallying support for the Iraq war… that and being a proponent of prudish censorship in music and art in general.
