Incivility from the Right to catch up with them

[rightwinger]

On Thursday MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews grilled tea party Astroturf leader Tim Phillips of Americans for Prosperity about supporters who taunted a man with Parkinson's disease at a tea party gathering in Ohio last week. Phillips insisted the bullies just didn't represent the tea party movement. But such demurrals don't cut it any more. At the Nashville tea party gathering last month, a proponent of the kinder, gentler tea party movement, Judson Phillips, tried to distance himself from crazed and racist elements – but later endorsed racist speaker Tom Tancredo even after he told the convention: "People who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama." Tancredo blamed Obama's election on the fact that "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country." He got some of the loudest cheers of the weekend.

Too much tea party racism - Joan Walsh - Salon.com

It's worth more of my time to say what many resist: The tea party movement is disturbingly racist and reactionary, from its roots to its highest branches. On Saturday, as a small group of protesters jammed the Capitol and the streets around it, the movement's origins in white resistance to the Civil Rights Movement was impossible to ignore.

Sure it is. Sure it is.

Because the voices in Rep. Lewis's head said so.

 

[rightwinger]

For many of the members of the CBC, like John Lewis and Emanuel Cleaver who worked in the civil rights movement, and for Mr. Frank who has struggled in the cause of equality, this is not the first time they have been spit on during turbulent times.

This afternoon, the Congressman was walking into the Capitol to vote, when one protester spat on him. The Congressman would like to thank the US Capitol Police officer who quickly escorted the other Members and him into the Capitol, and defused the tense situation with professionalism and care. After all the Members were safe, a full report was taken and the matter was handled by the US Capitol Police. The man who spat on the Congressman was arrested, but the Congressman has chosen not to press charges. He has left the matter with the Capitol Police.
This is not the first time the Congressman has been called the “n” word and certainly not the worst assault he has endured in his years fighting for equal rights for all Americans. That being said, he is disappointed that in the 21st century our national discourse has devolved to the point of name calling and spitting. He looks forward to taking a historic vote on health care reform legislation tomorrow, for the residents of the Fifth District of Missouri and for all Americans. He believes deeply that tomorrow’s vote is, in fact, a vote for equality and to secure health care as a right for all. Our nation has a history of struggling each time we expand rights. Today’s protests are no different, but the Congressman believes this is worth fighting for.

I disagree with you.....******, ******, ******

I disagree with you .....so I will SPIT on you

I disagree with you....so you are a FAGGOT

I disagree with you ....so you are a BABY KILLER

I disagree with you so you are a COMMUNIST, MUSLIM, NAZI

This is the Right Wing of America today. Every time it happens it is an "isolated incident" "it's not us" "it was someone else" Meanwhile the right wing incites these morons on a daily basis and then shrugs their shoulders when these idiots do what they think their mentors want.

And it was the left wing of two years ago

... your point is?

Oh and look where the left wing is today!

Immie

How can you say this Immie?????

Who on the left called people ******?

Who on the left called someone a Faggot?

Who on the left called someone a Muslim as an insult?

Who on the left called someone a Communist?

Who on the left SPIT on a legislator?

 

[rightwinger]

Barney Frank was called a "faggot" again. Frank later demanded that his GOP colleagues stop applauding the tea partiers who were heckling House Democrats. "That's why you get this kind of virulence and hatred," Frank said, according to the Huffington Post. If Pence and other GOP leaders wanted to stop the hate, they'd stop encouraging the vicious rowdies who are behind it.

"Baby killer" shouter steps forward, highlights internal GOP dilemma - Yahoo! News

But the "Baby killer!" furor highlights a far more serious, long-term political dilemma for the Republicans: how to appear to be a respectable party capable of governing while also providing political shelter for the highly motivated, though vocally disruptive, protest wing of the party associated with the Tea Party movement. While many commentators are forecasting trouble ahead for Democrats identified with the health care bill, the GOP faces some major issues of its own.

Just look at the past weekend: Thousands of Tea Party protesters descended on Washington in an attempt to "kill the bill." It was an impressive turnout for a quickly organized protest—but coverage of the event soon was dominated by reports that some demonstrators had hurled racial and homophobic epithets at Democratic lawmakers as they entered the Capitol.

How can anyone take the Republicans seriously while they repeatedly surrender to right wing hate rhetoric?

That's easy. Because only simple fuckin' morons would extrapolate negative comments of a few as representative of all Republicans. Fits their agenda but makes them sound like fools.

Next?

that's what psychiatrists call "projecting". Aren't all environmentalists tree-hugging environ-whackos? Aren't all feminists FEMINAZIS? Aren't all advocates of gay rights fudge-packing faggots? Isn't anyone supporting health care reform Marxists?

The stupidity of rightwinger catches up with him with his every post.

Edit: BTW stupid, there's ALREADY a thread on this.

prove it. Prove the Tea Baggers represent a majority. Show us how the extremists along the right wing of American politics now enjoys majority status.

all weekend long I heard Republicans speak of the resistance to health care reform by a 'vast majority of Americans". Hyperbole at its worst. But, when drowning, a person will clutch to anything that resembles a life bouy.

You are again "extrapolat(ing) negative comments of a few as representative of all" Democrats.

I guess that makes you a "simple fuckin' moron".

Incivility.

I think this bipartisan increase in incivility in politics is due to the rise of a new generation that never learned that manners and civility are a necessary social attribute. It's the generation born of baby-boomer, ex-hippies where "it's all about me" is the rallying cry, "no" is a four letter word, and everyone wins and the person is shielded from the consequences of his actions.

It's "ok" to yell out insults. It's "ok" to interrupt. It's "ok" to ignore established protocals because the only opinion that really counts is "yours" all in the name of "free speech" because "free speech" is now unencumbered by respect, empathy, or manners.

That is what I think we are seeing in this rising political generation.



That is probably over cynical....but it seems to be prevalent.....

Has the Left figured out that we're not backing down?

And if a few of our guys are out of line now and then, that's just natural exuberance.

Let me ask you a question Vern, were the colonists "uncivil" when they told King George to go fuck himself and when they killed British troops in the battle for our independence?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
