An online “racial justice” organization called Color of Change has launched a new campaign inspired by U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-Calif.) with the slogan: “Civility won’t save us.”
The organization is peddling limited-edition “Be Like Maxine” tote bags, along with the message that Americans should adopt the divisive congresswoman’s “fighting spirit.”
On Friday’s radio show, Glenn beck made it clear he doesn’t think what our our country needs is a bigger dose of incivility — Maxine Waters approved or not.
After pitching a tote-ad parody, Glenn added, “Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza says, ‘Civility won’t save us because this administration and white supremacy doesn’t care about being polite.’ So, Color of Change has now launched the ‘Be Like Maxine’ campaign, to encourage people to be rude. I don’t think we need to encourage any more people to be rude in America. Maybe that’s just me.”
Good. Incivility can work at the local level through mobs and violence. At the state and national level it won’t work. It will be counterproductive.
Most Americans aren’t upset about the issues these idiots are going to be uncivil about.
We win, they lose.
uhm, since when were they ever civil?
Seems “uncivil” doesn’t work either.
Perhaps it is their marxist, anti American policies.
I don’t capitalize marxist. Is that uncivil?
Obama started this division of America into numerous groups. Now these idiots are back to their white supremacy crap and how badly they have been treated. This crap is about being owed/getting hand outs for playing victim.
Early Christmas shopping. Buy one for all your LEFTY family members and friends.
Where has Maxine been? She needs more airtime. She needs her own wing of the party.
Maybe we can get the DEMS to split into three parties.
we don’t need any more incivility, its out of control already.
and we sure as H don’t need any more Mad Maxine Waters!
ha!
(impossible, anyway, unless someone’s invented Insanity Powder.... is it for sale on ebay yet?)
” uhm, since when were they ever civil? “
Well, there was that one time, .. remember?
Civility won’t save anyone. But, the Second Amendment might.
The Democrats have never let a 'teaching event' go to waste for the sake of 'motivating the masses'! Proceeding the Rep.Giffords event was the Sen. Paul Wellstone (D/FL MN) Memorial Service in 2002. It had nothing in it that memorialized the Senator who had died in an airplane crash, but had everything in it as a LEFT political rally. As a sitting Senator, several GOP Senators attended as colleagues but were so harassed that they had to leave before much of the event got started. Couth and class are more of exceptions to the Democrat playbook!
The true colors of the cancerous libtard progressive left shines through with each passing days.....moderate and centrist DEMS had better wake the frak up, cause IMHO, their inaction and silence only condones this utterly cancerous sh*t being peddled by the idiotic libtard progressive left.....
You mean that one that was 4 '12th of never's back? Actually, I don't!
Sure you do.
Everyone sang kumbaya, remember, Remember?
Violence won’t save you either. Guess who’s got most of the guns.
"During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP [The Revolutionary Communist Party] -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

"NEVER FORGET that Maxine Waters embraced Damien Williams, the infamous thug who hurled a chunk of concrete at truck driver Reginald Denny and performed a victory dance over this innocent man’s battered body. Maxine Waters even visited Damien Williams’ mother to offer her support.
Williams was sent to prison on a single felony charge of mayhem, but when his accomplices got off, Waters joined in the celebration. Damien Williams was released a few years later and went on to [commit] murder... Also, no surprise, he was a member of the Crips."

Maxine Waters on the Los Angeles riots of 1992 (Rodney King riots):
"In defense of the people that looted stores and damaged property, [Maxine] Waters said 'If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.'[5]
She also said it was 'a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice' and 'The anger in my district is righteous. I'm just as angry as they are'. "

Be like Maxine? Does he mean insane?
Good point.
I heard that from Beck, too...Be like Maxine? No thanks...
Two years prior to the Wellstone memorial, Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash three weeks before while campaigning for the United States Senate election coming up in three weeks.
Most people would assume that the Democrats had lost their candidate, since the Constitution says that a Senator must be "an inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen." The deceased Carnahan could no longer "inhabit" Missouri, so logically a vote for him would be a wasted vote. Regardless, the Lt. Governor who ascended to Governor upon Carnahan's death declared that if the voters still chose Carnahan on the ballot, he would appoint Carnahan's wife Jean to the seat to fill the vacancy.
One would expect the Republican candidate and incumbent Senator John Ashcroft to object, saying that a vote for a deceased candidate is not legal regardless of his name remaining on the ballot, and that there is no such thing as a vote for a candidate to be chosen later. However, a religiously devout Ashcroft chose to be civil and not challenge the widow Carnahan during her time of grief, and lost the election by 2%.
A few months later, incoming President George W. Bush nominated Ashcroft to be Attorney General. Jean Carnahan, now the Senator from Missouri was in a position to vote on Ashcroft's confirmation. Even though Ashcroft's confirmation was assured (the vote was 58-42) and Jean Carnahan's vote was symbolic, she refused to return Ashcroft's act of civility and voted NO on his confirmation.
Jean Carnahan could have shown Ashcroft some respect and thank him with her vote for not objecting to the proceedings during the Missouri election, but she chose to fall in line with the Democrat agenda of blocking anything that the incoming President Bush wanted.
For Democrats, it's NEVER about doing the right thing, even when there is no political cost for it. It's agenda first, always. If incivility is the agenda of the day, then incivility it will be.
