Responding to the hithertounforeseen senseless rage of conservatives unleashed against The One during the opening days of his administration, a new grassroots movement, Civility NOW! has arisen.
Former Clinton adviser Lanny Davis heads up this important new movement, tirelessly jetting from talk show to talk show to undertake the important task of reminding Americans that we are all bound together by common interests and should give our new President the courtesy of a long political honeymoon.
So, please, people: let’s show some respect–if not for the man, then for the office of the Presidency. Because if we besmirch that, how can we expect to receive different treatment when it’s our man in the White House?
This is especially rich coming from Lanny Davis.
Yeah, right.
It’s payback time. Motherfuckers.
They’re just fucking with us now. I bet they laugh and laugh behind closed doors.
Carin you are probably right. Either that or they are counting on the ignorance of a large portion of our electorate.
They sowed the wind; they can reap the whirlwind.
And it began a long, long time ago – before George W. Bush – and has been a long, long time coming.
FTFY.
Everytime I hear these idiots say we are all united now that Obama won or that we need to return to civility I remember the civility showed to the McCain campaign during the election.

Run along, child. Find you a nice Baracky stand-in to slick-up.

I think it started with Nixon. Somehow his campaign follies and personality quirks made it possible to use personal attacks to saddle him with the entire responsibility for Viet Nam while Kennedy and Johnson skated.
You should embrace your hickbillyness. Being conceived in a truckstop latrine was out of your control.
Lord, you were born a ramblin’ man, thor.
Well, he was either born that way, or it was all the smack.

Go take your meds, hor.
You retarded marmoset.
You have Rachel Corrie’s charming mug on this post. You remember Rachel? She thought her civil disobedience, which is just so hip at The Evergreen State College in Olympia (which had Mumia Abu Jamal as a commencement speaker via video hookup once)–didn’t play so well in front of a D-12 Cat Dozer.
Because the Israelis are war criminals for destroying houses of Palestinian terrorists who strapped bombs to themselves and destroyed innocent people. Well only in Rachel Corrie’s world.

Count me in, Dan!
thor, that what’s in your hand is a bic lighter? Really, now. Must be size similarity what’s got you confuzzled.
Submission is the highest form of patriotism, dontcha-know.
hor thinks IHOP is a shrine to St. Corrie of the Maple Syrup.
Sure you can.
What happened to all those peace activists anyway? They have been so strangly silent of late even though our warmongering president is ordering 30000 more troops to Afghanistan supposedly and sustaining troop levels in Iraq thru 2011 from what I hear. Shouldn’t they be burning effigys and flags thru the streets of DC?
Don’t forget about CIA renditions and black hole prisons or whatever the fuck they call them.
“Sorry, Lanny, as worthy as your aims may be, that horse fled the barn long ago. And it was your side that battered down the barn door.”
Actually, B Moe, as I recall it began during Reagans Presidency; that’s when the Democrats invented what would become known as “the politics of personal destruction”. It started with Robert Bork’s nomination to the supreme court. You see, even before Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell’s expected retirement Senate Democrats asked liberal leaders to form “a solid phalanx” to oppose whoever President Reagan nominated to replace him. On the same day of Bork’s nomination to the Court, Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech. Here’s Teddy:
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy… President Reagan is still our president. But he should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach into the muck of Watergate and impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and the next generation of Americans. No justice would be better than this injustice.”
Now there’s some REAL civility from the lion of the Senate, eh?
And then there was the so-called Biden report, prepared for Joe Biden, then the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Bork later said in his book, “The Tempting of America”, that the Biden report, “so thoroughly misrepresented a plain record that it easily qualifies as world class in the category of scurrility.”
Say it ain’t so Joe!
Their next victim was John Tower. Big Bush nominated him for Defense Secretary in 1989. But the Democrats, still smarting from the Dukakis debacle, chose to use this as an avenue of revenge. They alleged that as the former Senator from Georgia, he was far too cozy with many of the large defense contractors there. And, although seemingly incredible today, Tower was criticized for rumors of heavy drinking and womanizing; the Democrats were shocked, Shocked! that a single man would be involved with women…
And of course, we all know the BDS inspired venom and hatred that has spewed for the last 8 years. And while many may try to use the war as an excuse for their dishonorable, disgusting, uncivil behavior, the fact is that it had begun long before owing to the Democrat sense of the entitlement of Al Gore to ascend to the Presidency following Clinton…
I mean, the one! rose petals strewn in his path, effectively, at his inauguration; Bush had eggs thrown at his car as well as hundreds of federal employees, GWU and Howard U students-and their professors-line his parade route with their backs turned to him…
Now there’s civility for you!
No, the left in this country has worked hard during the perpetual campaign of the last 8 years, and sown the vile and divisive winds of today; now they can reap the whirlwind…
I think they call it the Miranda project, (re; Serenity)nothing to see here people.
Front page of Drudge very funny. The headline on the Youtube Video is “Nancy Pelosi: dumber than soap”.

Civility Now is a wonderful idea.
Just eight years late (at a minimum.)
So no big loss if they’re told to fuck off for at least another four.
But hey maybe the trolls will prove to be the new vanguard of civility?
Only time will tell.
This is so true. Baracky has very limited skillz. He can’t just give speeches no mores to make everything more better. And … well that would be his only skill really. Baracky was a lot not ready or worthy of being a for real president. Think on this: He picked Joe Biden to be his Vice President. What a dipshit move, but emblematic I think. Even Republicans are gonna have to help prop up this fuck to some extent. I won’t be a part of the propping up, but I sure as hell hope someone steps forward. Not that I won’t vilify them for it.
Her face got frozen when that D-12 pressed her flat. I do not relish or celebrate her being killed, but the heroes are the first responders and troops who sacrifice all and fall in the line of duty for our country, not misguided youth on very questionable causes.
He can’t just give speeches no mores to make everything more better. And … well that would be his only skill really.
Well it’s not his only skill.
Instead of the line item veto, he could do the “Line Item 3-pointer”.
Each line item is presented and if Obama makes the 3-pointer it’s in. If he misses, it’s out.
That’s the change they need Houston.
“He can’t just give speeches no mores to make everything more better. And … well that would be his only skill really.”
He doesn’t need to actually DO anything just ask the resident trolls here. It is all about the next election to them. The know the press will spin anything that happens as him being “nuanced” or “pragmatic” or some other such bullshit. The only thing that matters to them is that his poll numbers stay high, not anything that he does or accomplishes. I do not agree with this line of thinking but there it is.
I was thinking the other day that even NPR propaganda whores probably have kids or family, most of them. They yearned and yearned for a recession and they got it. So now what is the feckless dirty socialist dipshit gonna do about it? This question is gonna occur even to our woefully uneducated journalist class as they see the economy impact their families. Remember, Bush never campaigned as Jesus. The ground where his base stood was never particularly fertile for the sowing of doubt, since expectations for what Bush would do were rational and relatively well-delimited by his campaign. With Baracky, it’s different, and how that dynamic plays out is the biggest question mark of this fiasco I think.
Poor little thor, we didn’t just “STFU” and go away.
And that has apparently shattered it’s fragile worldview.
So when do the Obama voting human shields leave for Iraq?
The politics of personal destruction of the Left is a built in feature not some bug that came out of the Bork hearings. That wasn’t even the first time they had the power to do it as part of our government. Bringing down Presidents has become old hat to them.
Remember, “Hey Hey LBJ, How many kids did you kill today”. That was from before the managed to take over the Democratic Party. At that time the Democrats were their enemy. Once they clawed their way into that Party, circa 1968-69, then the Republicans, first in the person of Nixon, became the ones to destroy. His impeachment was the result.
What this “civility” campaign is aimed at is to make sure that the right doesn’t copy their tactics. They know what they are capable of doing and believe all others are too. Projection, pure and simple.
They should worry, but not about us burning flags, making giant puppet heads, or holding million idiot marches sponsored by some Nazi front group. Be frightened little lefty children, payback will come. But the form will not be as you do it.
I thought it was Hope and Change????
Now thor is asking us Inbred Hillbilly Motherfuckers to be CIVIL.
Happyfeet, you are entirely correct. ZerObama has no skills except TELEPROMPTER SKEEELZ. So naturally he’ll need to take a page from Hitler and the Night of the Long Knives. Opposition must be eliminated.
First we’ll use The Fairness Doctrine.
You make some excellent points geoffb…
They co-opted the Democrat party, and now want to reduce the nation to a one party system…
The whole “civility now” argument is pretty much pre-emptive. All who don’t comply, prepare to have your patriotism questioned.
S’funny how “dissent!” used to be the highest form of patriotism, but now, not so much…
I’m getting a Dissent bumpersticker for my car.
I should add that this may be a preemptive action of the part of the left. They will put out this “Civility NOW!” campaign (they really do love the CAPITAL LETTERS and !!!!!). Then sometime later claim that it has failed due to the horrible actions of the Right-wing.
This then can be used as a justification for a political crackdown on all their enemies who are so terrible for opposing their beautiful, wonderful, most perfect messiah.
I see Bob Reed beat me too it.
I don’t think the actual politicians will be so crass as to question people’s patriotism.
Question O!thority
God I love Drudge.

Well, I’m duly chastened. I’m ceasing production immediately on my documentary on the 67 ad hominem slanders leveled against Sarah Palin in the first 72 hours of her selection.
One fairly unrelated prediction: as Obama sinks slowly into the mire of his own inadequacy he will increasingly turn to foreign policy and the strategic exploitation of the military to save his presidency. I love irony, and there can be no greater one than that.
Hah. We’ll see. Hillary just might tell him to go find his own toys.
Now thor is asking us Inbred Hillbilly Motherfuckers to be CIVIL.
Total lack of cultural sensitivity, doncha know.
President Obama is a very touchy and thin-skinned person. I don’t think he has ever had to suffer calumny and all of the nasty, vicious personal attacks that make politics so much fun. I think that has stunted his defense mechanisms and he can’t really take it.
I think the Democrat official operatives and the unofficial ones in the press have suddenly realized this. They have to convoy their guy through four years of the the toughest, most visible job in the world. The calls for civility are an admission on their part that they do not think that their hot-house delicate blossom of a President can make it; and an admission that without help from political foes they can’t do this either. The attacks on Fox News and Rush Limbuagh that happened within the first week or two really illustrate the extreme touchiness of President Fragile Flower, and I am going to enjoy watching him try to makes his way for the next four years.
From Mr. Pink’s link.
The Left is planning a plan for all of us. Bless their little hard hearts.
“Be CIVIL, you racist, rethugdumlican (sp?), inbred hillbilly flyover hicks!”

I like that. One of Nero Wolfe’s tender hot(White)house orchids.
Oh, this IS going to be fun (and terrifying) for at least the next two years.
Is it uncivil to mock Nancy Pelosi for not knowing the population of the United States? (uh…uh…Sarah Palin could see Russia!!!11!!)
Is it uncivil to laugh/groan that the #2 at HUD will be Washington State’s most fined public official in state history? (Also he will still have to go back and testify in another illegal records lawsuit in April)
Best Transition EVAR!
Civility No! Payback(like Thor) is a bitch. I have been waiting for this, and dammit, I am going to torment all the leftist a-holes mercilessly for 4 years. Since I am in the deep blue SF Bay Area, the opportunties to upset people are endless.
The one I am lately just throwing into social conversation:
If I cheat on my taxes, can I get a good position in the Administration? The lefties just freak out and piss themselves with rage. It is so much fun!
I would be going the anti-war route LC. 4 example: “When is the next anti-war rally? I want to be apart of the fun now guys I am ready to join you. When do we get together with signs saying “Obama is the worlds #1 Terrorist!” and start burning flags because that looked like great fun.”
He is my president. I will not deny that. I have no hatred for the man. However, I will take the opportunity at every stupid move he makes to mock his choices. Apparently, there will be a plethora of opportunities to do so.
OUTLAW!
I don’t get that. If Baracky asked me to do something to help America I’d say oh. Sorry. I can’t collaborate with you cause you’re a dirty socialist and I don’t think you have the best interests of my little country at heart. Why don’t you just go give a nice speech or something? Ok then. Good luck with that. Ok. Buh-bye now.
I’m gonna get me on of these for my first protest.
Can’t us inbred hillbillies become a legitimate grievance group?
Only if enough of us freeze to death.
I think you must mean die of heatstroke, Dan. The planet is getting warmer, haven’t you read the papers?
See, you’re talking about climate, and I’m talking about weather, and they don’t mean the same thing unless the weather’s cooperating with the climate climate.
You know, that’s the problem with us deniers. We’re so convinced by our own delusions, we actually think it’s cold outside. I’m so far gone, I’ve even sent piles and piles of money to the propane company to keep my house “warm.” Imagine how stupid I must look to those in the “reality based community” walking my snowblower up and down the driveway removing the imaginary snow.
Civility? Civility? We’re talking Civility? I literally laughed out loud at this one.
So, what do I call this 2 inches of white stuff that fell today? A thin layer of gore?
oh, my friends, oh my.
Lanny davis and I have done pitched and rightous battle on any number of occasions.
a truly nice man, he earns most of his very large income representing vile and corrupt companies who blame all of their many, many problems on the people who point out the problems in the first place.
which is to say, he lies for a living.
A truly ruthless man, he attacks first,s econd and third…and then asks questions.
Indeed, after he went on TV and called me out for a bunch of things, I called him up and asked him if had read what I wrote, let alone the non-sensical corporate filing on which it was based.
He laughed and said “No.”
Civility will be served with a side of crow with Lanny at the helm.
Is it on YouTube, mcgruder?
Concerning the Appalachian, Smokey Mountain and Ozarkian hickbillies it’s a similar numbers game as the woolly mammoth in that the quantity needed is merely enough to stock the major museums.
Poor thor, can’t we all just be CIVIL NOW!
I’m all for civility. I refuse to sink to the level of shrieking, slandering, conspiracy-mongering southpaws.
That doesn’t mean I’m going to shrink from speaking up about wrong-headed policies that promise to worsen every pathology they claim to ameliorate.
The jug eared incompetent currently occupying the white house is in way over his head and he knows it. He doesn’t need us to point it out to him. But I’m going to because it’s fun, and necessary.
Dick Cheney has once again shown the way**. Just tell the truth about the world and the new administration. And keep on telling it, again and again.
“He doesn’t need to actually DO anything just ask the resident trolls here. It is all about the next election to them. The know the press will spin anything that happens as him being “nuanced†or “pragmatic†or some other such bullshit.

I disagree, Pink. Obama is naught but a cardboard cutout fronting for a cabal of black racists, hard-core Marxists, and Chicago machine politicians. If his poll numbers are negative in 2012, they’ll toss him under the bus and trot out the New Messiah for the Petulant Left to grow moist and light-headed over.
But I’m going to because it’s fun, and necessary.
