Seems like Chuck Hagel's bitchslapping of Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press generated a lot of interest. With over 35,000 views in 48 hours, it seems like Lieberman struck a nerve with many who are upset with his delusional support of this President's Iraq policy (complete with the usual GOP talking points).
It's obvious that we're at a tipping point in this country over this god-awful war. No longer is this a Democrat versus Republican thing...it's a majority of the public from different political, religious, and social backgrounds standing together and screaming in unison:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
NO TO THE ESCALATION!
NO TO THE WAR!"
BRING THEM HOME!
I'm embarrassed to have a senator from my home state who outright refuses to listen to the voices of the people he is suppose to represent. His views on THE ISSUE OF OUR LIFETIME will scar his career for life...and he has no one to blame but himself.
Senator Hagel's breakdown of Holy Joe was so good, it's worth watching again.
The response to this clip is so over-the-top, that I wanted to share with you some video responses I've received from around the country.
I'll update this post as more video responses come in...

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
