Here's another item just for you: Apparently the RNC leaders can't find it in themselves to join with the DNC leaders in calling for civility on both sides. I guess there is something controversial in that proposal.

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


Various members of the DNC — including Chairman Tim Kaine, Executive Director Jen O’Malley Dillon and Communications Director Brad Woodhouse — contacted their respective RNC counterparts this week in hopes of getting RNC Chairman Michael Steele to co-sign a document with Kaine that, in part, called for “elected officials of both parties to set an example of the civility we want to see in our citizenry.”


“We also call on all Americans to respect differences of opinion, to refrain from inappropriate forms of intimidation, to reject violence and vandalism, and to scale back rhetoric that might reasonably be misinterpreted by those prone to such behavior,” read the proposed joint statement, which came at the end of a week that saw acts of vandalism and threats of violence directed at members of Congress from both parties, but mostly aimed at Democrats who voted yes on the health care bill.

No venting here friend. Just showing what the Left has done in recent times, and why I have to call them out on their utter hypocrisy when they say Tea Party people are violent and dangerous with their protest signs and their anti-Obama rhetoric. Glad you liked the pics.

But, by your own logic, in pointing out the hypocrisy of "the left" by doing what they themselves are complaining about... aren't you complaining about what they're doing, and in effect pointing out YOUR hypocrisy? (And when I say "your", I of course mean every person on the right who has claimed that (a) they NEVER do anything like this, and (b) there's nothing wrong with it anyway, since it's only exercising free speech)


Still haven't seen any evidence that any of those people are on "the left", though. But thanks for playing anyway.

Sorry Rue, but Kwicko raised that question first. You can read my response back to him if you like, or you can do as I suggested at the end of my original post. I hope that's clear enough even for a super-sized obtuse twit like you to comprehend.

Well, yeah, I *did* ask it first, but note for the record that you never actually ANSWERED the question. So Rue bringing it up again isn't exactly out of line.

Once again, do you have any evidence that these people are on "the left"? Or was that just a giant ASSumption on your part?

hmm. clearly, it is not a fair inference that these are lefty types, like me, in the photos. the gal with blue hair, and the dude with the mohawk, are obviously right-wingers, which is why they are protesting a right-winger and calling for his death.

I'm no RNC lover by a long shot. I posted just yesterday my utter contempt for Chairman Steele. It's a real shame that they cannot agree to be civil in their Govt roles, but the reason is pretty obvious. They want to both sow and ride the wave of discontent with Obama and Dem's Congress all the way until November; while the Dems want to either move on to new business, or for the betterment of their fund-raising efforts, continue to accuse Repubs of being cheerleaders for anti-Obama elements out there. It's all politics. American citizens are merely the useful idiots manipulated back and forth in this endless war of ideology.

Oh, I think we all know the answer. Even River, though no admission will be forthcoming.

I can only assume that's a snark, given your verbiage and feelings about me.

But where is there any comment on the rest of what I took the time to point out and cite? I can only guess inability to recognize and speak to the hypocrisy on the right...despite the fact that honesty would require changing the topic to "the Sanctimonious Hypocrisy of Politics".

By the way, given the word "sanctimonious", which refers to "affecting piousness : hypocritically devout; also: indicative of affected piousness", in other words affectation of religious self-righteousness, shall we go into the sanctimony of the right claiming sole possession of "decency", respect for religion and belief in morals, while committing adultery, homosexuality (which THEY claim is immoral) and numerous other sexual behaviors?

Given the left has never claimed any special privilege of religious morality, while the right repeatedly and loudly has, don't their actions have something to do with hypocrisy?
