Civility in Politics

[rightwinger]

Republicans booing gay soldiers

Which is a farce, they where not booing gay soldiers, they where booing the moderator asking the question because it was not an important issue that needed to be asked. Only you lefties fell for that lie, everyone else knew why they where booing.

Wrong again buddy boy

They played a YouTube video of a gay soldier in Afghanistan asking if the candidates would reinstate DADT

BOOOOOooooooooo!

how civil was it when Rs were cutting gas lines and throwing bricks through windows?

That was occupy, dipshit.

Sure it was, you lying ****.


OpEdNews - Article: The Civil Rights Act of 2010?


"More than 10 lawmakers have complained they've received threats since the run-up to Sunday's House vote on a health insurance overhaul, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Wednesday, and law enforcement officials are taking the allegations seriously. Plus the office of Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. -- who initially opposed the Senate's health bill over concerns about abortion funding but switched to support the plan following assurance from the White House (that federal funds would not be used to support abortions)-- has received several threatening messages, recordings of which have been obtained by Fox News.

"According to a report in the Buffalo News, a brick was thrown through a window in Rep. Louise Slaughter's office, causing about $350 worth of damage. The report said another window was broken at the Monroe County Democratic headquarters in Rochester, and cited similar incidents elsewhere in the country." (FOXNews.com)

"A brick with the words, "No to Obama," "No to Obamacare" was thrown through the window of the Sedgwick County Democratic Party headquarters in Wichita, Kan., late Friday or early Saturday." (click here)

The FBI is also investigating a separate incident at the home of Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello's brother. Perriello's office confirmed that a line to a propane tank on a gas grill was cut at Bo Periello's Charlottesville home on Tuesday. Tea Party activists had posted the address online thinking it was the congressman's home, telling opponents to drop by and "express their thanks" for his vote.


Mike Troxel, the blogger who posted the address online, told Fox News' Alan Colmes that he was encouraging voters to go to Perriello's house. When asked if the children of public officials should be harassed at their house just because they're related, Troxel said, "You know, I think that's a burden that comes with being an elected official."

"Alabama blogger Mike Vanderboegh published a post on Friday that railed against Congress for taking up the controversial health care bill and urged readers to "break their windows." (http://www.bnd.com/2010/03/24/1187980/threats-violence-against-democrats.html) This is reminiscent of Nazi Germany's Kristallnacht, in which the windows of Jewish owned businesses were systematically broken with no consequences for the perpetrators, and is no laughing matter.

The voice mails left for Stupak were particularly graphic. In one recording, a man

Civility in POLITICS, not street thugs who noone can prove one way or the other to be left or right. I know you want to change the subject but it is not happening.

And your assumption is that they booed the soldier. How can you tell for a fact the soldier was booed and not the question? So that being said it isa matter of opinion. And as far as I can tell none of the candidates booed the soldier, and this is what this topic is about, civility in Politics, not civility in the constituency. Now lets please try to stay on topic. I know this subject hurts but at least try.

Some Initial Reaction to Passage of HCR Bill (TWO UPDATES) | The Moderate Voice

The front door was smashed out at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ congressional office last night.

At 2:40 a.m., just a few hours after staff left the building after the late-night vote, the alarm system went off, said spokesman C.J. Karamargin. The panel to the front door and the glass panel alongside it were smashed out. The perpetrator likely had to hop the gated fence to get access to the door, since it’s not viewable from the parking lot.

Karamargin said it was unclear if the glass had been shot out with a kind of pellet gun, if it had been kicked or smashed with an object. The door has been covered with plywood.
[...]
While the calls into the office in the past week were “more nasty and rude” and laced with profanity than the office had ever received before, Karamargin said, they did not reach the level of threat that prompted any police involvement.

Still waiting on proof that it was someone on the right. Again, could have been someone on the left framing the right, just like the bomb at the occupy protest.

Could have been a criminal with no party affiliation.

Are you sure about that "cutting gas lines" and "throwing bricks" by Republicans?

Reason I ask is that would be a FIRST!

Do you have some specific links to those actions??

 

[occupied]

You dont see republicans calling democrats demons do you? I have yet to hear one uncivil word come out of a republicans mouth in years. Can you post a video of one?

You haven't been listening, anyone accuse Obama of being a Socialist/Nazi/Marxist lately?

Of course they have, but by his legislation and actions this has been been proven. However, Boehner and Cantor have done nothing to be called demons. And I also remember the left wing politician who said the tea party want to see blacks hanging from trees, did the tea party do anything to give credit to that remark? No they didn't.

It's a lack of civility, by your example, to compare someone to something else that is guaranteed to elicit a negative emotional reaction. Can't have it both ways.

The right was far more violent before that vote on the left, period.

All I am asking is which politicians on the right where uncivil before that vote, and what did they say? I could care less bout people on the streets, because we cannot label them one way or the other to be left or right.

 

[grunt11b]

2 pages in, an no republican on video of being uncivil yet.

I think the closest the libs can get to showing Republican incivility would be the "You LIE!" comment during the SOTU speech.

Obama WAS lying, but the comment was uncivil...
