all joking aside, how does this equate that the Dems don't want civility? I've never understood that.. out of the months and hours of Right-wing hate,threats,racism, and lies being told.. without a single right-winger saying 'boo' about it.. how does a handful of Dem examples of the same thing make the 'right' ok with what they do?
what's been the problem is not just that people are saying this stuff.. it's that the right-wingers and their leaders ignore,endorse,encourage and even join in with it... that's the problem. But show it to a liberal and they condemn it, and that's been the example they've tried to set, only to be mocked like Michelle Obama is being mocked now..
case in point...
The Athens Banner-Herald in Georgia reports that a shocking question was asked at a town hall event held by Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) on Tuesday. According to the article, an audience member asked the congressman, "Who is going to shoot Obama?"now, does this guy stop the townhall and severely chastise this person for saying such a thing? Does Breitbart put a video of it so Hannity and Palin can condemn all GOP'ers for their lack of civility? Does really anyone on that side of the aisle say anything about this? Or do they just reply the same way this congressman did..
The paper reports that Broun responded to the stunning inquiry as follows:
"The thing is, I know there's a lot of frustration with this president. We're going to have an election next year. Hopefully, we'll elect somebody that's going to be a conservative, limited-government president that will take a smaller, who will sign a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare."as for the crowd of people? How 'civil' were they? did the boo,gasp, or otherwise react in a horrified manner that a question like this was posed?
uh, no... they roared with laughter..
http://athenscms.com/blogs/2487/But hey, let's point to a cpl of breitbart found Dems who said something mean on twitter... because that's what is really the issue here, not a room full of towns people and an elected official laughing and ignoring when someone asks "who is going to kill the president"...
this is why I say they've reduced themselves to the level of scum. Not a single one will take the initiative to condemn this kind of talk..while taking every ounce of initiative to denounce a slight, no matter how fanciful or minor, deemed to be from the left...
