Joseph Lieberman actually said...

"When you have a policy of discrimination in the United States, the burden has to be on those who are defending it."

"That strikes me as unconscionable and unfair, and I hope we can repeal this policy promptly."

"I'm in favor of repeal, and there's no doubt about that."

"When you know somebody personally, you're much less likely to fear them, and I think that most discrimination is based on fear."
