It’s funny how this “toxic political tone” began around the same time the DemocRATS began their dismantling of America. Probably just a coincidence.
Translation: Shut up and do what we say.
This shooter was a follower of Nazism and Communism. We’ll see if any of our politicians bring this fact up. Until we outlaw Communism, this will continue and it will grow.
Leftist spin.
Babble on, Babington.
These people know nothing about the history of American politics. The 19th century and even the early 20th century was far more toxic, and unacceptable by today's standards of decency.
Clearly “harsh politics” is the crude MSM doublethink meme of the day.
In a manner of speaking, the Democrats and their MSM buddies behaved as atrocious bullies since the previous election, but now that the Republican have the House, they are demanding that the Republicans have to behave, cooperate, and be harmonious with the Democrat agenda.
But make no mistake, the *only* thing Democrats will accept will be capitulation to everything they want. Otherwise, and as we’re seeing right now, they are and will continue to blame Republicans for anything they can.
Fairness, politeness, cooperation, and harmony in government is a two way street. And right now Democrats are as deeply in debt of these things as the fiscal hole they left for the country.
First, let me say this, this attack is about as political as Hinkley shooting Reagan so he could maybe have a crack at removing Jodie Foster’s panties. There are no politics in this attack.
But since they want to discuss tone, consider this;
Ever notice, how they are the “correct” people and position, *by default*? If we oppose their agenda, we are causing strife. Our speech, opposing them, is “vitriol”. This is always the case, no matter how civil we are. Does anyone remember Boehner opening the process in the house to include democrats? Of course not, that was *last week*. Does anyone remember Harry moving to end filibuster rules to remove power from the resurgent repubs? Of course not, that was *last week* too.
Of course, the strife and vitriol could just as easily be avoided, by them going along with the conservative agenda. That should be reasonable. After all, that is precisely the solution they offer us,, stop opposing them so there will be peace. This unfortunate congresswoman was condemning vitriol, and tone,, yet, she insisted in imposing national heathcare behind closed doors, in votes “deemed” to pass, with her leadership stating things like “they are getting national healthcare whether they want it or not”.
Did she ever stand against that tone? Did she ever tell *her leadership* that they were acting like tyrants, and creating a lot of anger?
This is not so much politics, as it is a bad marriage with a shrew, a shrew who blames YOU for the discord that results from your justified effort to resist her bullying.
And last of all, this entire incident has nothing to do with “tone”. The guy who did it was a lunatic schizophprenic. If politics didn’t set him off, his dog would have told him to do it, or he would have thought there was a spaceship behing the comet. He is also supposed to be into the 2012 thing.
The only evidence of “tone” is an INSTANT effort by the news media to make this into a political attack, when it was a nothing but case of mental illness.
Are we supposed to tippy toe in politics so we don’t set off a mad man out in his lonely bedroom? Please.
