Protesters chanted "Everyone in and no one out, universal health care now!" and "Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!" as they were taken from the office, ABC News reports.

Lieberman, who votes with the Democratic caucus, has said he does not support the public option and may join Republican efforts to filibuster the Senate health care bill. ...

aldenbuzz: Joe Lieberman doesn't care about sick Americans who are dying for lack of treatment, he loves the money in his campaighn coffers from the insurance industry. He represents the interests of the insurance companie, not the people who voted for him. He doe not care about the American people.

aldenbuzz: Joe Lieberman has received millions of dollars from the insurance companies. He received an amount in the millions of dollars just last year. We;ll have to get the specifics and post them here for everyone to see. Joe, you have no right to use the word conscience in reference to yourself. You do not HAVE a conscience. There's blood on your hands, and there's more blood on them every hour that you fight treatment-availabilty for regular Americans and all you do is ignore their needs.Get out!

aldenbuzz: Joe, you're not a Senator representative of the people, all you are is an insurance company operative on the inside of government, and we have to get you out.

elalzu: It's amazing! People disagree with the govt. officials who work for the people and they get arrested? Shouldn't it be the other way around? This guy is clearly not working for the people and that is against his elected duties! Even the police, who also work for us, seem to be working for these f***ers! We are truly losing our nation to these greedy selfish bastards.

aldenbuzz: That's right, elalzu. Lieberman's the one who should be arrested, but let's give him due process, have a trail before he goes to jail, if found to be guilty on the evidence, INVESTIGATE HIM!

djmixmind: Dude they should have gotten a shit load of Fat people like the last one they were taking out! That way you guys might have get a chance! They would have gave in right away :) Dude dont waste your time dont you guys get it? The system is broken! It doesnt matter what the people want anymore. Its all about the money in politics. The only person that can do something wont do anything cause the have him by the balls. Obama. There is no change coming... :/

djmixmind: You guys want to make a change? You guys are going about it the wrong way! GET THE PEOPLE TO DROP ALL THERE HEALTH INSURANCE. GO TO THE PEOPLE STOP WASTING YOUR TIME WITH THE POLITICIANS THAT WONT GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY. GO TO THE PEOPLE GET EVERYONE IN THE U.S. TO DROP THERE HEALTH INSURANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I SEE THINGS HAPPENING. IF THE PEOPLE REALLY WANT THIS THIS IS THE WAY TO GO. THEY WONT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GO BY WHAT WE THE PEOPLE CHOOSE.

venuecam: This is so wrong. All these decent people want is decent healthcare. The people are finally standing up for their rights and people like Senator Lieberman will never have support from their constituents. I can't believe JB's assistants and the Police force aren't on the people's side here. When will they all learn that this is wrong and what they're doing in turn is protecting criminals not protecting the people.

travelfar22: SINGLE PAYER/Universal health care for ALL! Health Care is a right in a civilized society! Lieberman has sold out to the insurance companies who are the problem, not the solution.

supermaucat: Senator Joe Liebarman - I - (where I stands for Israel, not Independent) only cares about Israel and Jews. He doesn't give a crap about Americans.

JDSackman: Did Lieberman ever comment on this? Why wasn't this on Fox News?

treid100182: Lieberman is a son of a bitch... ...terrible senator.

ieatwiteoutforfun: Fuck hartford. I hated growing up there.

chrisjafari: Liberman is a cross dresser senator who only cares about big insurance! the only place where he would get reelected is with an Insurance Company Board of Director! what a moron and shame on humanity!

lazypuddycat: its fox. That's why.

mmfIint: Supermaucat : You are right, he could care less about all americans, however...I wish you hadn't said that, because I probably agree with you on everything else, and I am Jewish! I am also a proud 4th generation American. Yes, this prick Lieberman is a disgrace to the Jewish community. But many more Jews agree with YOU than with him. Lieberman should be in prison. The first three letters of his name is LIE! Thanks for reading this.

supermaucat: Mike, you're right. I should have said Israelis (my mistake.. I was in a hurry and had too many thoughts in my head and couldn't edit anything). Lieberman's a hardcore Zionist who's a huge supporter of AIPAC and who tends to put the Israeli interests ahead of the Americans. How else could we explain the disastrous US foreign policy of the past two decades? I will send you a quick PM.

funkyflights: Lieberman is in bed with the private insurance companies.... He knows it.... we know it.... so he has a decision to make soon.... vote for the people or vote for your own pocketbook...

bigdickfatwallet: Lieberman makes my stomach turn

dantheleo: If these protesters had a job maybe they wouldn't want everything free from the government! Individual responsibility and self-reliance is what these protesters need to learn, soon! I realize obama wants everyone dependant upon government so the government will have ultimate control over it's citizen like third world countries, after all he is the enabler-in-chief!

TimLivelyUnearthed: It really sucks being poor and without heathcare. My back hurts every minute of every day. 24/7 for almost 25 years now. I cant work and I cant afford health insurance. Social Security turned me down without even giving me an x-ray. My wife shoulders the burden of being the only bread winner in the household and she works so hard she now has carpel tunnel in both wrists. Her greedy bosses cheat her out of every penny they can. Im getting real close to the end of my rope.

TimLivelyUnearthed: Yeah, we're just a bunch of whiners huh? Fools for getting hurt and in need. How stupid of me. I use to be the top hand on any jobsite I worked. The biggest baddest Carpenter that walked God's green earth. Then I screw up my back royally and the great state of Texas gave me $205 a week for 3 months and brushed me aside. Screwed up for life. Now Im just an irresponsible piece of shit. Right?

TimLivelyUnearthed: Hey dantheleo, Youve lived one blessed life havent you? I know this by your lack of empathy. We will be judged by how we treat the least among us.

dantheleo: Thankfully Liebermann is upholding his very oath to the U.S. Constitution. Liberals think the constitution is great until it doesn't support there misguided causes. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that reads every American should be forced to buy health insurance, be fine up to a $1000 per year or be jailed up to five years if you choose not to but it! For those liberal idiots out there who clearly have not read either of these two bills, that would be the opposite of FREEDOM!

xcit: @TimLivelyUnearthed Im at the end of mine pal, my back is wasted and I get up like I have for the past 31 years and still get on my knees everyday and bust my ass. Human survival learn it, if you were left in the wild with nothing you would be a whining little bitch ripe for the picking. Man up, America was great because we didn't whine we busted our asses and produced something. Now we are a nation of obese shoppers, whiners, facebook junkies and couch potatos expecting big brother to save us.
