A Taste of Left-Wing "Civility"
FrontPageMag.com ^ | 23 June 2006 | Don Feder

When leftists start caterwauling about civility, it reminds me of when my kids were young. When my daughter Anna was 5 and my son, Jonathan was 4, World War III broke out in our household at least once a day. Anna’s modus operandi, as she explained it to her grandfather, was: "I hit Jonathan. He hits me. Then I tell Mommy."

In essence, that’s the leftists’ civility scam: They hit us. We hit back. Then their media lap dogs begin howling about incivility and yapping about the decline of gentility in the political debate (which, if I’m not mistaken, started with the presidential election of 1800).

Liberals will do anything to avoid talking about the details behind their slogans. They'll throw food, scream, name-call, cry, or whine that the other side is being mean. Liberals are cases of arrested development.

Very amusing, and right on target.

Their idea of a civilized dialogue is calling us really-mean Nazis, while our mouths are taped shut.

LOL! Excellent column by Don Feder, as always.
