Civility? Lets Do It! But Do the Left/Democrats Really Want That?...

[LibocalypseNow]

Man I watched NBC last night and i sure didn't see any civility coming from the Left/Democrats. I hear all this "Civility" preaching from the Left/Democrats but i sure haven't seen them living up to their preaching so far. I also visited the HuffPo the last couple of days and i definitely didn't see any civility coming from the Left/Democrats there either. The one thing that disturbed me the most about the HuffPo was how they routinely attacked the children of politicians they disagreed with. They did this like it was the norm at HuffPo and there was nothing wrong with it. I don't visit the HuffPo very often so i wouldn't know for sure but it looks like that it is the norm over there.

In my opinion NBC & HuffPo are the ultimate in bizarre wingy hate mongering. Conservatives can't hold a candle to them on that. I mean calling someone "The Worst Person in the World?" Can't get much more wingy and hateful than that in my opinion. The NY Times has also slid off into that Left/Democrat hate-world. Some of their Democrats seem to have completely lost it at this point. So is this Left/Democrat "Civility" preaching just a game and a way for them to gain something politically out of the Arizona tragedy,or is it for real? I'll let you decide that for yourself. So far i haven't seen the Left/Democrats living up to their own preaching so i'm very skeptical. I don't think the Left/Democrats really want civility at all. I think it's just a game. They just don't gain enough by being civil. That's how i see it anyway.

I think TM has been living up to it.

Not so much anyone else on the left.

Im so very sorry things took a turn for the worst. You will receive a gift bag this week.

Most of the time, (not all) its the double standard on the left..
Quick to cast the first stone, but they themselves never do wrong?

We all know we all do wrong things sometimes.

To be fair, yea, she has. So has MarcATL.

Seriously,Conservatives can't hold a candle to the wingy hateful Left/Democrats i see on NBC,HuffPo,and the NY Times. I gave em a shot these last couple of days and i did not see any civility coming from the Left/Democrats. In fact i only saw the exact opposite. One i thing i found especially disturbing was that these wingers have a real nasty habit of attacking the children of politicians they disagree with. They are especially vicious in this regard. Why attack the children? That just seems so low. So far i'm just not seeing that "Civility" from the Left/Democrats.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Honestly,i don't see the Left/Democrats gaining anything with civil discourse. They seem to really get off on that "Worst Person in the World" stuff. I say call their bluff though. Lets have civility.

Get off the children dude. The right attacks children just as much as the left. Also, you will never see the civility most likely.

"Civility" to the Left just means "don't attack my ideology"...

"Civility" to the Left just means "don't attack my ideology"...

You just make that up? Just now?

 

[Sallow]

I don't want "Civility" in debates. What I want is for people to advocate their ideas, listen to other ideas and come up with compromise if possible.

What should not be happening is talking about shooting each other.

And the debate..in congress..should end at 6pm..followed by cocktails.

No need to call their bluff. I've always been civil. Not going to change that simply because they aren't or because Obama calls for it.

Don't have to make up reality.

That's would be civility.

What should not be happening is talking about shooting each other.

That would be civility as well

And the debate..in congress..should end at 6pm..followed by cocktails.

That would still be civility.

Sounds like that's what you want to me.

 

[BlackAsCoal]

This board sure is fun.

After two years of republican angst, stubbornness, and incivility .. SEE: "muslim, terrorist-loving, socialist, marxist, communist, not an American, plantation party, Pelosi, Reid, lets say no to any and everything to anything Obama says, take our country back, on and on and on .. now all of a sudden when its their turn at bat .. it's the dawning of Aquarius. NOW, we should all be civil .. and don't do what we spent two years doing to you.

Only NOW do republicans leaders have problems with personal attacks on Obama.

... and in true conservative style, they'll ignore what is said from the right, but anthing remotely said uncivilly from the left is an violation of the agreement.

You know .. just like on this board.

Here you guys are having a circle jerk about mean ol' lefties as if none of you notice the rancor coming from the right .. including from some of you.

It's real simple .. unless you're children.

Do unto others.

Simple

If someone is civil and respectful, respond with civility and respect .. even if they've been uncivil in the past.

Don't treat others with respect, don't expect it.

Simple.

No..this ain't civil..



I think it's acceptable.

This ain't civil either..



Both of them..I expect and welcome.

What I don't want is violent rhetoric.

Simple as that.

You find that bullcrap acceptable? You really need to raise your standards

Hey it's your Left/Democrats who are doing all the pious preaching about civility. They're the ones who have milked the Arizona tragedy for all it's worth. I was just pointing out that i have been watching NBC and CNN the last couple of days and i haven't seen any civility coming from the Left/Democrats. In fact i've only seen the opposite. I also even gave the HuffPo a chance. Their wingy hate mongering is by far the worst of the worst. That's why i say the Left/Democrats don't really want civility. They just tried to exploit the Arizona tragedy for political gain. I call Bullshit. Hey,just my opinion anyway.

Yeah, TM has impressed me so far. I never expected that level of consistency from someone like that. I just need to wait until the next scandal on either side to see how consistent the new policy is.
