It is common knowledge the Dems were not happy at Sen Lieberman, but after last nights speech; the knives are coming out for him


Democrats attack Lieberman, saying he lied to delegates

CNN) -- Democrats accused former colleague Sen. Joe Lieberman of misleading the Republican National Convention when he addressed them in a speech Tuesday night.

A senior Barack Obama campaign adviser said Lieberman flat-out lied when he told delegates that Obama never successfully reached across party lines.

"Joe Lieberman ought to be ashamed of himself for some of the things he said tonight, not as a Democrat but as an American," adviser Robert Gibbs said on "Larry King Live."

Lieberman, an independent senator from Connecticut who was the Democratic vice presidential candidate alongside Al Gore in 2000, has thrown his support behind John McCain, a longtime friend.

Lieberman urged Democratic and independent voters to make a change and vote for a McCain because, he said, he would do whatever it took to help the American public.

Lieberman attacked Obama's rhetoric, saying "eloquence is no substitute for a record."

Gotta love how Mr. Gibbs couldn't even provide one example of Obama actually reaching across the isle on any significant issue. So if he "lied", where is the record of Obama reaching across the isle Mr. Gibbs?
