Civility?

Remember when Joe Wilson called President Obama a liar during a notional televised press conference? The M&M press began asking "where has the civility gone?" The only reason the M&M's pounced on it was that Joe Wilson is a Republican. True to their double standard the M&M's will not criticize Democrats when they lack civility. Remember when liberals were calling George Bush a murderer? Did the M&M's suggest those words lacked civility?

I knew when I heard those comments that any civility meter would be pegged by liberals. They say the most outrageous things about those they disagree with and they are never held accountable for their statements. Just last week, a peer of Joe Wilson, Alan Grayson of Florida said on the house floor "If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly. That's right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick."

The most notable difference between Grayson's rhetoric and Wilson's is that Grayson refused to apologize. On the other hand, Joe Wilson apologized for his comment immediately and repeatedly for the next few days. The House of Representatives formally reprimanded Joe by a vote of 240 to 179 for his comment. Not surprisingly, there was no discussion on whether Joe's comment was true - that Obama did lie.

In addition to no apology, Grayson upped the ante by continuing his insult of Republicans, calling them "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals" and "hypocrites." Ensuring that he stayed on the Politically Correct path, Grayson, who is Jewish, did apologize to the Anti-Defamation League, for calling the health care crisis a holocaust, saying he regretted using the word. To no one's surprise, an attempt by the Republicans to formally reprimand Grayson failed.

I have not seen a single suggestion by the M&M's that Grayson acted in an uncivilized manner. In fact, the M&M's have shown the video of his antics over and over. It is how they manipulate the apathetic. From these two examples, Americans who pay little attention to facts (the Obama voters) were told that Republicans act uncivilized and want to kill citizens instead of providing health care. The M&M's subliminal messaging machine is strong and still at work to prop this President up.
