You don't have to listen.
Senator Lieberman's staff identified numerous videos that they believed violated YouTube's Community Guidelines. In response to his concerns, we examined and ended up removing a number of videos from the site, primarily because they depicted gratuitous violence, advocated violence, or used hate speech. Most of the videos, which did not contain violent or hate speech content, were not removed because they do not violate our Community Guidelines.
Senator Lieberman stated his belief, in a letter sent today, that all videos mentioning or featuring these groups should be removed from YouTube -- even legal nonviolent or non-hate speech videos. While we respect and understand his views, YouTube encourages free speech and defends everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. We believe that YouTube is a richer and more relevant platform for users precisely because it hosts a diverse range of views, and rather than stifle debate we allow our users to view all acceptable content and make up their own minds. Of course, users are always free to express their disagreement with a particular video on the site, by leaving comments or their own response video. That debate is healthy
We might even find out that Iran is filled with innocent Iranians and that most of them have no desire to attack Israel or the United States...

It pains me to think that I voted for that man once...
(On a related topic, check out the new ACLU Blog of Rights. Revoltin' Joe would be horrified.)
Lieberman loves being the swing vote in the Senate and being wooed by both sides.
If the Democrats take as many seats as projected, he'll become just another wannabee Republican. Which is why he's acting the way he's acting right now: best buds forever with McBush. Does he think he'll get to be VP?
He's more hawkish on attacking Iran than anybody.
