Joe Lieberman on Farrakhan in 2000..

Asked if he was willing to meet Farrakhan, Lieberman told the radio network: "I am very open to that."

"Minister Farrakhan has said a few things, including earlier in the campaign, that I thought were just not informed but, you know, I have respect for him and I have respect for the Muslim community generally," Lieberman said.

"I'd be open to sitting and talking to Minister Farrakhan. It hasn't sort of come together yet but I look forward to it," he added. "This is a time to try to knit the country together more and to make us, as (Vice President) Al Gore always says, the more perfect union that our founders dreamed of."

Asked if he would like to meet before the "Million Family March," Lieberman said: "I'd like to do that. I think that's a great idea.

"I look at anything that anybody does to get people to register and to vote (as) really at the heart of what the democracy is about," he added. "So I admire what Minister Farrakhan is doing there."
