So are they going to show Civil Discourse to Palin...

Definition of Civil Discourse :human discourse that stays within the realm of rational decency. For a discourse to stay within the realm of rational decency, the people involved must follow the requirements of sound rational thinking enough to fit the occasion - even when conforming is inconvenient. Civil discourse is a non-totalitarian approach to mutual problem solving. It is a looser term than 'sound rational thinking' but presupposes enough commitment to sound reasoning to resolve the problem at hand in a cordial manner. Civil discourse can accommodate minor infractions and still be civil. Civil discourse is a moral interaction because it presupposes ethical standards that those involved should follow.

Sound rational thinking and liberals' reaction to Palin or the TP?.......we've seen two plus years of irrational thinking in their response to Palin and almost a year of the same with their reaction to the Tea Party.
