Presumptive answer to the question posed in the headline: Ask anyone whos worked with Rahm Emanuel. The story of Gordon Hintzs meltdown on the Wisconsin assembly floor broke yesterday via radio host Charlie Sykes; today, inevitably, comes the conservative media tour for Hintzs target, GOP Rep. Michelle Litjens, to share what shes learned about the Party Of Civility. Three quickie points from the two clips below, one from Fox News and the other from Laura Ingrahams radio show. First, as Litjens herself notes, although Hintzs outburst happened several days ago, he didnt get around to apologizing to her until Sykes started talking about this on Monday. Fancy that. Second, the Hintz incident itself is less alarming than what she says about needing a police escort in the Capitol. There were reports last week of Walker phoning Republican senators to warn them that their safety couldnt be assured; this is how far its gone, evidently. And third, needless to say, after the lefts grotesque, groundless demagoguery of the Tucson shooting as some sort of indictment of Republican rhetoric, conservative media will happily grind their faces in each and every bit of incivility expressed by union protesters or their apologists. The videos and photos of protesters with incendiary signs are already old hat after two weeks, but for righties forever tarred with the worst excesses of cranks who show up at tea party rallies, the appetite for liberal hypocrisy is insatiable. A funny bit not to be missed: At 5:40 of the second clip, Ingraham asks Litjens what the statehouse smells like these days. How
uncivil.
Civility.
I think we should send in Harry Reid for the official smell test.

I think that would defeat the purpose since he himself would set off the odermeter.
IMHO, the appropriate response to such a statement is to look the person straight in the eye and say “Not if I kill you first.”
Heard her on Sean’s show coming home. She is great.
Rules, including rules of civility, don’t apply to Democrats. They are amoral.
I volunteer to be her body guard, for money of course.
It should feel painful only in the knuckles of one or both hands as you remove what’s left of the c***sucker’s teeth and head to ER for a tetanus shot.
I would make book that you have this boy pegged.
