The new civility...

[boutons_deux]

"govt does nothing well."

A fundamental concept and lie of the VRWC "Government is the problem (and is NEVER the solution)"

Yoni's an extremely dedicated shill for the VRWC

CALLER: Thank you Dr. Broun it’s an honor to talk to you. I would just like to ask if you would do me a favor, this one little cons uent from north Dakota, if you would ask the Republicans in the Senate and House to not take the bait and sit with the Democrats in the State of the Union speech. The reason I ask is that it is a slap in the face to people across the country, who made a serious effort to bring Republicans into both houses of Congress and to have them just throw that away that was something I personally looked forward to watching the State of the Union and seeing the number of Republicans.

BROUN: I agree with you wholeheartedly. I’m talking to Members of Congress. Our leadership said you could do whatever you wantd to do. Sit with a Democrat, you can, sit with a Republican, you can. We’re goin to have a conference next week and I’m going to bring that up there. I believe very firmly that it is a trap and a ruse that the Democrats are proposing; they don’t want civility, they want silence from the Republicans. And sitting together being kissy kissy is just another way to try to silence Republicans and also to show, to keep the American people from seeing how few of them there are in the US House now, and when people stand up to what the Democrats are doing when Barack Obama spews his venom, then if they’re scattered throughout the Republicans, it won’t be as noticeable if the Republicans sit apart. So I’m not in favor, and I’m talking about it. And I hope other members of Republicans don’t take the bait. [...] Right after the Tuscon tragedy there was an article blaming Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and me for what happened. It’s the liberals who are promoting this kind of venom, it’s not the conservatives, it’s the liberals.

More of that new civility...

Calling for Justice Thomas to be lynched. Nice.

[Yonivore]

Would someone please point me to the Tea Party equivalent of this...

'String Him Up'

Hartsock: What do you say we do with Clarence Thomas after we impeach him?

Young woman with sunglasses and nose ring 2: Bad things.

Hartsock: Like what?

Nose ring 2: I dunno, 'cause I'm all about peace, but I would say torture.

[Change of scene]

Hartsock: [After] we impeach Clarence Thomas, what do we do with him?

Middle-aged woman with squeaky voice: What do we do with him? String him up. And his wife, too. Let's get rid of Ginny.

Liberals must be so proud of their new civility.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

I'm just wondering where the media is. They were perfectly willing to spread the false narrative that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were spewing rhetoric that led to violence, even though it wasn't true. So, where are they now, when people are actually calling for violence in response to liberal rhetoric?

Where were they when this happened?

Make-Believe Media Ignores Jared Lee Loughner Wannabe

A person, actually driven by liberal eliminationist rhetoric, tries to kill a politician in Florida -- the same day as the massacre in Arizona, and you probably never heard about it.

Get my point, yet?

so we have jane doe making a comment and you want the media to cover it like they do Palin?


hmm ok.

hmm ok.

It was a large rally...about the size of some of the Tea Party rallies. Yeah, I think calling for the lynching of a Supreme Court Justice is newsworthy. Jim Hightower was the keynote speaker. And, you had a couple of "jane and john does" calling for violence.

I'd say it's newsworthy. Particularly in light of this new call for civility.

Some US media are comparing the Egypt protest to the Tea Party.

Common cause responds to the video...

Everybody Does It? Really?

“Everybody does it? Think it through and you will see that this is a stunning indictment of the American left. To begin with, it is not true that everybody does it. As we noted yesterday, the formerly mainstream media have spent the past two years trying to depict the Tea Party as precisely the sort of racist, hateful, violent political movement that Common Cause appears in the video to be. That media effort has failed, not for lack of will but for lack of evidence. If everybody did it, the Tea Party would do it, and if the Tea Party did it, you would have read about it in the New York Times.”
...
“So here we have a corporation that advertises itself as a ‘grassroots organization’ while exercising its First Amendment rights to advance the position that corporations do not have First Amendment rights, only individuals do. Some individuals, participating in the corporation’s ‘grassroots’ rally, exercise their First Amendment rights in ways that harm the corporation’s image. The corporation responds by exercising its First Amendment rights to denounce those individuals for having exercised their First Amendment rights. And it does in its capacity as a faceless corporation, by issuing a statement for which no individual–not even CEO Bob Edgar–takes responsibility.”
....
“For the sake of truth in advertising, Common Cause should change its name to Hypocrisy Hub.”

Indeed.

Who? What? When? Where? That sounds like some silly going on.

Took me 10 seconds to Google it.

The Tea Party Is the Muslim Brotherhood of America? You Betcha

"So the Muslim Brotherhood has a parallel role here with the Tea Party," he said. "They're the ones who keep you honest and decide whether you've stayed too long?"

It's the new "civility"

Indeed.

Anyone who has attended a public event has encountered people whose ideas or acts misrepresented, even embarrassed, the gathering. Every sporting event has its share of "fans" whose boorish behavior on the sidelines makes a mockery of good sportsmanship; every political gathering has a crude sign-painter or epithet-spewing heckler.

Happens quite often.

And "Everybody does it" is nowhere in the quote.

It's so easy when people on the right lie.

[Winehole23]

What was the lie? I missed all that.

Ah, how boring. Now, back to my rum and my books....
