Democrats: the epitome of civility

Remember these words to another president? 'A cancer within the cloak of the Presidency'...
Obama needs to walk the walk: denounce the outrageous super PAC ad

Tucson, January 13, 2011:  President Obama's Call For Civility ; the article quotes from the Washington Post
President Obama comforted a community suffused with grief and summoned the nation to recommit to a more civil public discourse as he delivered a eulogy Wednesday evening urging Americans to talk with each other 'in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.'
One year later,  Obama Calls for a New Era of Civility in U.S. Politics (NY Times)

(Above) Democrats Ignoring President's Call for Civility? Jan 2011; Fox News All-Star Panel   "Howard Dean... said openly, "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for." That is literally hate speech. I do not remember the times when the main stream media wagging a finger and pulling a chin about the rise of uncivil discourse at the time. So I don't take any of this seriously." Charles Krauthammer.

(Updated) Lie of the Year 2011: 'Republicans voted to end Medicare'

Politifact  "But more often, Democrats and liberals overreached*:


 They ignored the fact that the Ryan plan would not affect people currently in Medicare -- or even the people 55 to 65 who would join the program in the next 10 years.

 They used harsh terms such as "end" and "kill" when the program would still exist, although in a privatized system.

 They used pictures and video of elderly people who clearly were too old to be affected by the Ryan plan. The DCCC video that aired four days after the vote featured an elderly man who had to take a job as a stripper to pay his medical bills.


* Overreached? Was it so hard to simply say Democrats lied? Speaking of which....

Apparently Schultz has a low opinion of our intelligence;  DNC Chief Wasserman Schultz Attacks Paul Ryan Using PolitiFact’s 2011 “Lie Of The Year,” Claims He Wants To “End Medicare As We Know It”…
Wasserman Schultz, addressing an estimated crowd of 40,000 union members, said that Ryan would “end Medicare as we know it,” and made an extended attack on his budget plan.
