On Civility from the Left

Examples of Leftist civility while they lecture the rest of us.

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ): "For a while, you've been feeding this hatred, this division ... you feed it, you encourage it. ... Some of the extreme right wing has made demonization of elected officials their priority."

Obama: "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." Obama also called Republicans “hostage takers”.

Joe Biden: "If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them."

A taste of hypocrisy: Democrat Rep. Paul Kanjorski: "It is incumbent on all Americans to create an atmosphere of civility and respect in which political discourse can flow freely, without fear of violent confrontation." Rep. Kanjorski later said of then-Florida gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott: "They ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him."

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), "It Really Is Time For Americans To Take Up Pitchforks."

The Left is stumbling all over itself about Sarah Palin using the word “targeting” during the 2010 campaign, about what specific congressional and senate seats were winnable.
From their own mouths:

"Democrats Launch Website Targeting 'Republican Lies'" (Statist and Obama supporting Washington Post)

"A coalition known as Americans United for Change is targeting Republican senators" (NPR)

"Obama administration officials said they were targeting Republican Senators" (CNN)

"Dems Play Hardball: Target Republican Senators" (Huffington Post)

"In the meantime, Obama will continue to target Republicans" (CBS)

Then there’s this lovely bit from “tingle up my leg” Chris Matthews: "I have to tell you, Rush Limbaugh is looking more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody's going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he's going to explode like a giant blimp"
