Just some of the civility the left has asked for.

Just because a few radicals say inappropriate things is no reason to brand an entire party or side. Were it the other way around, some on the radical right, though not many, would wish the storm would wipe out the left at the DNC. Don't take it so personally.

It is becoming common in Australian media to see comments from retired politicians and statesmen, top-line political commentators, and the better credentialled current affairs gurus pointing out that politics in this decade is the dirtiest, most partisan, most extreme (both ways) and lacking in any redeeming features that we have ever seen in this country, and reading this forum here it would seem the same applies in the US and the UK. I repeat, so as hopefully to avoid getting into the normal pissing contest this forum becomes, both sides. Politics has become so polarised it makes one muse about possible civil wars breaking out.

You just don't understand. It is wrong for Anyone to criticize the Liberals and what ever one Republican (or anyone that might be tied to the TEA party, Republicans or Conservatives) applies to all. Look at the Colorado Shooting the media tried to tie it to the TEA Party. When Congresswoman Gifford was shot the media tried to call the man an extreme right winger but his writings and comments were more Marxis. Saying that more people are on Food Stamps under President Obama is now being consider a racial slur, why because the liberals know what you ar really thinking, they can read your mind. no Liberals are free to say what ever they want and it is alright or even considered the truth. They can even lie and it is accepted as the gospel truth. The Democrats ran an add that showed a man who looked like Paul Ryan pushing a wheel chair and dumping Granny over the cliff. When in fact his plan changed nothing for people 55 and older. Another classic is when Senator Biden was asked about then Senator Obama and refered to him as a clean articulate black man, that was just Joe being Joe. But when President Bush was asked about Senator Obama he responded that he had seen him speak and he was a very articulate speaker, President Bush was making a racial slur against all Blacks.

I understand why you would be upset about these comments. The thing is each side never calls out their own side when these types of comments happen. They just call out the other side. I am not just talking about when high profile people do it, but many people do not call people out hear on MyLot when their own side says something like that. I guess its OK to say these things as long as the person has similar views as you.

I think a few people have to realize that this kind of garbage talk could blow up in their collective faces. I personally right now have difficulty watching American channel news programs. I'm Canadian and I don't recall ever hearing such unbelievably biased programming in my life. Some of the remarks we hear are just horrifying.
