New Civility Fail: The Left's Uncivil Response to Cheney's Heart Transplant

 The  Daily Caller has a sample:

While Dick Cheney was recovering from his heart transplant in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va. Saturday, Twitter exploded with hate and ill wishes for the former vice president.

“Whoever donated their heart to dick cheney: f*ck you,” tweeted @yokelesy.

“Cheney’s black soul keeps rotting out his heart. F*ck that bitch,” @SolidGlo waxed poetic.

“Why in the contumacious f*ck are we wasting a perfectly good heart on dick cheney?” tweeted @mr_senor_pete

Another offered a different if similar perspective, expressing happiness for Cheney’s transplant — so that Cheney could one day meet his demise in a fire.

“I’m glad Cheney survived his heart transplant because I’ve always wanted him to die in a horrible fire,” @Jedimasterbator tweeted.

New Civility: Harry Reid Accuses Republicans of Being "fixated on destroying our government"

Civility is only for Conservatives.

Washington (CNS News) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accused Republicans today of intentionally trying to destroy the federal government and the American economy.

In a Capitol Hill news conference to announce that the Senate had agreed to a continuing resolution that will keep the government funded through March 18th, Reid was asked about GOP plans to eliminate the Home Affordable Modification Program — a program which has permanently modified nearly 600,000 loans since its inception.

“Why can’t they work on things that help the economy?” Reid asked. “Why do they have to work on things that hurt the economy? This is hard for me to understand why they’re so fixated on destroying our government, our economy.”

Another Union Thug Assaults a Teapartier

 What eve happened to the new civility? Are only Conservatives expected to be civil?

KXTV-TV: An amateur videographer caught a shoving match on tape. The video showed a face to face argument right before Richard Andazola, 28, of Stockton, shoved a tea party activist.

“He bum rushed across the street, came right at us, swung his bullhorn at me, hit me in the hand and then put his hand around my throat and started choking me,” Rodney Stanhope of Placerville said.

The video doesn’t show the choking incident, but clearly shows the shoving. Because of it, Sacramento Police officers cited Andazola for battery…(Read more)

Liberal Protesters Compare Wisconsin GOP Gov. Walker With Hitler and Other Dictators (video)

Liberal protesters compare Wisconsin GOP Gov. Walker with Hitler, Mussolini and Hosni Mubarak. Oh, and they put cross-hairs on his picture too. I wonder how many of these uncivil protesters are teaching children in Wisconsin as their day job?

This must be some of that new civility they are talking about in Washington.



All that botox must be seeping into Pelosi's brain.

Politicians are scrambling for cross-aisle civility dates for SOTU

I hear Barney Frank is still available...

(Politico) — Lawmakers on the Hill haven’t quite broken out the corsages — yet — but the high school level drama is on as senators and representatives scramble to find suitable across-the-aisle seating partners for Tuesday’s State of the Union address.

The very public rollout of odd-couple pairings this week, from lofty press releases to tweets to public displays of bipartisan affection on national TV — where Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) kicked off a Capitol craze on “Meet the Press” last Sunday by announcing their intentions to sit together — has turned conventional State of the Union wisdom on its head.

A night typically marked by highly symbolic partisan coordination, from seating charts to dramatic, orchestrated applause for the president, now has become about the buildup: Which Democrat will sit with which Republican on which side of the aisle?...

A Horrible Tragedy Occurred in Tucson and the Whole Nation Has Missed the Point

Congresswoman Giffords was shot in the head, six people died, 12 others were wounded and the entire nation has missed the point. Democrats jumped to blame Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party. Republicans fired back and pointed out the shooter looked more like a left-winger than a right-winger. President Obama made a nice speech and called for civility. The mass media has been discussing the state of our nation's political discourse for days. A move is on to have Democrats and Republicans cross the aisle and sit with the opposition during President Obama's State of the Union speech. None of this has anything to do with the shooting in Tuscon. Other than the fact Rep. Giffords is a political figure, there doesn't seem to be anything political about the shooting. Jared Loughner appears to be a young man with serious mental health issues. If you have any doubt, just watch the YouTube videos of his anti-government Internet rants about the gold standard, grammar and mind control. People who knew Loughner were afraid he would shoot someone. The discussion we should be having as a nation isn't about civility, but how can we protect the public from the mentally ill without trampling on American's rights. If the root cause of the Tuscon shooting was mental illness, and it appears to be, all the civility in the world will not prevent recurrence of something similar in the future. What we need to be discussing is how did a young man was showing signs of mental instability and making numerous death threats slip through the cracks in our system? Why didn't Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and local authorities take stronger action? How can we change the law to facilitate a stronger response towards individuals making explicit death threats?The nation's debate needs to be switched from civility to mental illness. That is the only way we can hope to stop the next Jared Loughner.

Civility Dies Quickly in Washington: Democrat Compares Republicans to Nazis (video)

You just knew it wouldn't last long...

Via The Note:

In an extraordinary outburst on the House floor, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) invoked the Holocaust to attack Republicans on health care...

“They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," Cohen said. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it.  Like blood libel.  That's the same kind of thing. And Congressman Cohen didn’t stop there.

“The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it--believed it and you have the Holocaust.  We heard on this floor, government takeover of health care.  Politifact said the biggest lie of 2010 was a government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover," Cohen said.

Classy: Obama Promotes Civility By Calling His Opponents "Tea-baggers"

Calling for civility: Free. Deriding your political opponents with a homosexual sex term: Priceless Crude.

Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.

In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers...

Tea Party activists loath the term “tea baggers,” which has emerged in liberal media outlets and elsewhere as a method of mocking the activists and their concerns.

Now That Obamacare has been Rammed Down Americans Throats, Democrats Seek Civility

After ignoring the will of the American people and passing the most partisan major legislation ever by lying, cheating, name calling and backroom dealing, Democrats want a civility pact with Republicans. The hypocrisy is astounding. So far, Republicans are taking the bait.

The Republican National Committee has rejected a proposal from its Democratic counterpart to sign a joint “civility” statement, POLITICO has learned....

Republicans see the statement as an attempt to force them to either reject the statement — allowing Democrats to say the RNC finds the incidents acceptable — or to sign on to something that the DNC would later wield against them.

Democrats have accused Americans of engaging in an uncivil debate if they strongly oppose Obamacare. The NRCC has put together a video book of Democrats showing their "civility."
