I agree with the writer, in that it appears the left has hijacked our nation’s attention for now, by making this “civility” thing the topic of the day and taking our minds off of health care, the economy, the vicious rhetoric from the left, etc.
HOWEVER, Bill O’Reilly is taking a much different stance. The first half of his program last night was devoted to how the left have humiliated themselves this week with their over the top rhetoric, premature accusations against the right, etc.
I don’t know if he’s correct in his assumptions, but I like the way he totally turned the tables on the left and the rest of the media. Millions watch him, including independents and some on the left, and it’s good that he’s pushing the fact that the left “failed”, true or not.
And he’s even going after Sheriff Dumpkin, asking why, if Dumpnik KNEW that the rhetoric was charged, there was no police presence at Ms. Gifford’s rally. Good question!
If he repeats this narrative enough (and I think he will), maybe it will come true!
As I post here all the time, about 2 million watch O’Reilly. 20 million still watch the network evening news broadcasts. And you know what kind of tripe they are serving up.
