A Republican or Right-Wingers cry for "Civility"

are actually Demands that liberals censor themselves. Don't. When a Republican lap dog of the Rich or unhinged Right-Wing troll demands tolerance it's a trick to reframe the discussion or debate under their terms.

After President Obama's press conference yesterday, in which he perfectly laid out the Republican Shutdown goals and causes (i.e. it's an attempted Coup), Republican Representative Luke Messer took to MSNBC to whine, "The President talked about civility but he used the term hijack..."

Boo hoo hoo hoo the President is saying mean things about Republicans. Waaaaaah! How can anyone believe Republicans are super tough hard-charging patriots when words by that scary man in the White House make them cry?

But, what's really going on is a technique that the Right learned under the Mastery of the King Rat Fucker Lee Atwater and shaped by Conseravtive Icons Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, and Grover Norquist in the early 1980's.

During Abramoff's and Norquist's leadership of the College Republicans they and their trollish minions advised CR chapters to test the boundaries of liberalism by, 
Form a "Beastiality Club" or "Straight People's Alliance". Charter the club and apply for student activity money. If the gays are able to obtain funds, you should be able to. If the student government refuses to give you money, hold a press conference and attack them for being sexists and discriminatory. Complain to the Dean's office. Threaten a law suit. - College Republican Technology Manual early 1980's as reported by Thomas Frank in The Wrecking Crew
From Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove and Ralph Reed and their legions of right-wing college punks in the 1980's the modern Tea Party fanatics, the James O'Keefe's of today, learned to always chuckle, 'Oh I thought Liberals were supposed to be tolerant" in order to reframe the debate or steer it away from the topic at hand.

First, the ghost of Karl Popper should appear and say, In the name of tolerance, I claim the Right not to tolerate the intolerant, and hit the Tea Party fanatic in the Head with a Hammer.

Second, don't get sucked into their bullshit. When a Right-Winger proclaims victory by saying 'Liberals resort to name-calling when they are losing the argument" it's actual a Tell and Pre-Attack Que. The Conservative is telling you he doesn't have an argument and he's setting up his attack, You have to be tolerant or I win. You have to absorb my insults calmly or I win. You can't call me a racist or a liar or I win. 

As Father Michael Pfleger said yesterday, “They’d rather see America fail than Obama succeed.” Call this Republican Shutdown what it really is; An attempted coup d'état and a cold Civil War.

Update:
While the Right is working to destroy President Obama it should always be remembered that this Shutdown and Coup attempt are just battles in the Long War the vicious right have been waging upon Us. Their final solution is the complete negation of the Progressive Era and the creation of the Ultra-Reactionary Neo-Feudalist Dream State;
The common vision: an America in which the rich will be taxed at the same rates as the poor, where capital is freed from government constraints, where government services are turned over to the free market, where the minimum wage is repealed, unions are made irrelevant, and law-abiding citizens can pack handguns in every state and town. "My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit,"said Grover Norquist. "Because that person doesn't need the goddamn government for anything."

Which Side Are You On?

"Go get a job right after you take a bath." - Newt Gingrich recalls his chicken hawk youth and revives the Dirty Hippie taunt, lovingly highlighted by Andrew Breitbart.
The recent criminal violence by Police Officers directed at the #Occupy Protesters is merely a symptom of the Overall Disease which plagues America; The Infestation of the Nation by the 1%. I use the terms very purposefully because what we have seen besides Criminal Behavior by the Police (at the direction of their 1%) is a orchestrated campaign of dehumanization from Rightwing Propagandists and servants of the Plutocracy designed to create conditions were conservatives support violence against the 99%.

It's a daily barrage of loaded terms, bigoted labels, and dehumanizating castigation of the #Occupy Movement which has seeped into and now permeates every rightwing blog and news site. It's also a very old tactic. And if you should happen to be so skeptical that the Rightwing Media of this Nation is being pulled/directed/massaged towards vilifying and lying about OWS, you are not paying attention.

Here is a Lobbyist memorandum to the American Bankers Association highlighting ways to target OWS, including the monitoring of Open Source Intel (#Occupy Social Media Sites) to manufacture smears and plan counter-protest actions and strategizing the Messaging War against OWS. All for the low, low price of $850,000 USC.

It should have been clear early on that the 1% wasn't going to allow their control of this country subside merely because their inhuman greed, evil crimes, theft, oppression and murder had pushed the total income of 150 Million Americans under that of 400 people. And that a mere 0.1% (One-Tenth of the One Percent) make HALF of the Capital Gains Income in this Nation.

The 1% has always had willing defenders who will lie, obfuscate, confuse, smear, distort and when that fails just call for outright violence.
"Remember the lesson from my book: It just took a few shootings at Kent State to shut that down for good," - Ann Coutler.
The Process of dehumanization is almost complete. From World Net Daily writer Phil Elmore,
"Call out the National Guard. Turn on the fire hoses. Send bulldozers. Bring flame-throwers, for pity's sake. Men and women who give a damn about their country, wearing Hazmat suits and respiratory gear, empowered by the lawful government of this nation, should be marching in ranks on every Obamaville this very moment, prepared to beat with truncheons and shoot with rubber bullets every last filthy hippie. The "occupiers" are criminals and terrorists."
Here's a twittter rundown from John Nolte, Editor-in-chief of Andrew Breitbart's Big Government Site. His tweets read as a justification of violence and oppression and are cheerfully supported by the diseased Rightwingers. A Nolte tweet from Nov 17, "#OWS #OccupyWallStreet is a domestic terrorist organization. End of Story." A Nolte tweet from Nov 20, "Why do people say 'pepper-spraying defenseless Occupiers' as though it's a bad thing?"

Because at the core of this Battle is; Who shall control the Country? The 1% and their Rightwing Guardians or the 99%? Which side are you on? The 99% or Karl Rove's? We ARE the 99%.
"No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! If you believe in the right of the First Amendment to free speech then you demonstrate it by shutting up," Karl Rove...
