The Obama Definition of Civility Is Now Very Apparent

[rushmc 23]

We now have a clear vision of what the Obama definition of civility in public discussions

That being the Dems can say all they want, when they want and how they want

The Republicans are supposed to talk nice or STFU

An opinion? Yes

But how can you argue with my opinion based on the following events?

So, three different chances to talk about these comments and what happens?

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100103267/will-barack-obama-condemn-joe-biden-and-jimmy-hoffa-for-calling-republicans-barbarians-and-sons-of-bitches/

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/09/white-house-declines-to-comment-on-union-leaders-anti-tea-party-rhetoric-at-labor-day-rally-2/

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/06/showdown_on_fox__friends_wasserman_schultz_avoids_hoffa_question.html

And of course we got our favorite gaff machine walking into it yet again (with out the gaff but WITH civility?)

So here is my prediction.

Obamas numbers set new lows this morning

Unless he can find a way to change this, (and I doubt he will because he can’t get passed his own ideology),
the conversation from the left will get very ugly.

I think it's a lot like his definition of 'compromise'


a few 'straight shooters' should be able to figure it out

No. The government frowns on theft of naval property.

***Fox Doctors Hoffa Speech To Fabricate Call For Violence

Right-wing bloggers misled by dishonest Fox News video editing are attacking Teamsters President James Hoffa for supposedly urging violence against Tea Party activists during a Labor Day speech. Conservatives are also attacking President Obama, who appeared at the event, for "sanctioning violence against fellow Americans" by failing to denounce Hoffa. But fuller context included in other Fox segments makes clear that Hoffa wasn't calling for violence but was actually urging the crowd to vote out Republican members of Congress. ***

A left-wing think tank clearing a union member...color me surprised.

Regardless, I'm sure he'll get better treatment from the MSM than Palin's urging her readers to vote out Dems did.

Perhaps; but my point wasn't so much to indict Fox"News" as it was to debunk the ostensible premise of the OP.

Which is the same thing the left did when talking about the targets?

Yes it is

I watched the whole segement of the speech

It is as you post here

And it is no different than the target controversy

Which shows the hypocrisy involved

[rushmc 23]

Just to be clear

Andy9o8's post defines exactly the point I was making.

Which is a glaring double standard laced with hypocrisy

Obama's definition of civility is as he and the Dems need it to be, so they can try and control the debate

The debate! Not the rhetoric

if we falter and lose our freedoms,

I must have missed where the OP claimed it was a call to violence - is that what "civility" means now?

I'm sure the Dems think so - after all, they get to say anything they want with no consequences.

Mike, others may be willing to engage in this style of debate, i.e., quibbling over semantic minutiae rather than substance, ad infinitum, until the thread is overwhelmed. I'm just not.

Nothin' personal.

So, where's the 'substance' in the OP that supports your 'call to violence' rebuttal?
