The New Civility

Post by woodchip »

So where has the new civility gone? Or should this be listed under "The Stupid Things Democrats Do":

what 'new civility'?? Seriously, if you look to Al Sharpton to be the voice of civility, it's like me looking to Rush Limbaugh for the same.

No, not Rev. Al but:

"Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who is known for lobbing over-the-top rhetorical bombs at his political foes, once again is being accused of taking things too far -- after his campaign sent an email that compared the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan while depicting a burning cross"

likewise Greyson, who regularly gets slammed by fellow Dems. And therein lies the big issue, where are the Republicans slamming over-the-top rhetoric? It seems they lack the cajones to do so.

I'm having trouble finding any Dems slamming him. Came to hear Obama say if he had a son he'd want him in the Tea Party, left disappointed.

it's OK he's a Liberal. he can make those kind of racial comments. Chris "the Thrill" Matthews will probably have him on his show in support :P

not likely. Nor would Maddow. Of course, you never tune into those shows anyway, so it wouldn't be something you would notice about them.

I'm trying to figure out why people are commenting on this dubious picture. exacttarget.com is a marketing website. The entire thing could be clever image editing and pure propaganda.

Sources for evaluation please. Use your brains people.

I hope you're smarter than what you just said. It is propaganda by a leftist hater to get himself re-elected. I'm starting to be reminded of finding scapegoats and how the early Nazis Party demonized the Jews as the cause of Germany's problems. Same with the leftist now blaming the Tea Party for all the supposed bad things that happen. Just look at how slick presents them and I'm wondering when we will see petrol bombs thru prominent Tea Party member home windows. We already see Tedd Cruz getting death threats.

Great. If it is propaganda, then it's despicable. But I am smarter than to just look at some random image on a webpage and draw conclusions from it without context. Apparently you are not. If you have no source to cite, I can do nothing but dismiss this as mere nonsense.

I guess you missed my earlier reply that put it into contex:
"Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who is known for lobbing over-the-top rhetorical bombs at his political foes, once again is being accused of taking things too far -- after his campaign sent an email that compared the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan while depicting a burning cross"

Perhaps if you followed more than the Dems protectionist news sources I wouldn't have to link every thing. Funny how Spidey can find it. And quite frankly I don't give a rats rear end if you think it nonsense because you are too intellectuality incurious and lazy to look it up yourself .

Thank you Spidey for doing woodchip's job.

It's not my job to look it up. You are the one who started the topic with a questionable image out of context. (For the record I did an image search and looked up some of the content, see my first post, you pathetic loser). Intellectuality incurious? You're a riot. And no, I don't read left or right wing news, I get everything off the AP wire, Reuters, or unfiltered search engines. I tend to read several foreign websites for US news because Fox-CNN-MSNBC, are all garbage.

As for Grayson, I hope this bites him on the rear end, hard. How dare he elevate the Tea Party to an organization like the KKK, who has a more clearly defined mission statement and greater community cohesion than the Tea Party. But seriously, he doesn't need to do garbage like this. The Tea Party does enough damage to themselves by just going about their daily business. With any luck Grayson will receive the appropriate amount of backlash from this.
