The "New" civility - House Democrat Compares GOP To Nazis
2011-01-19
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) on the "lie" of government takeover of health care: "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That's the same kind of thing, blood libel. That's the same kind of thing."

"The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it and you have the Holocaust," Rep. Cohen said.

Hmmmm - maybe they're smarter than I thought.

#10  This is a majority black district. Cohen has been trying to join the congressional black caucus (CBC) for years. They haven't let him in although the CBC did contribute to his election campaign. He thinks he has to prove something to show he is as 'black' as they are and to do this he is trashtalking. He also is trying to leverage the Jewish angle to 'show' that blacks are the new Jews or something like that.

#9  A male at that age, with his station and hobby, normally gets their passive news (stuff a person turns on and watches/listens) from Comedy Channel or MTV affiliates, then branch of public or college radio. Active news (stuff a person has to go get and do, internet and periodicals)seems to be a truther site, probably great conversation material for smoke circles.

And it can be talked about whether his wires crossed and he lost control of his impulses, and humanity, and honor...whether it was a preexisting condition which would show up sometime in life or if it was nudged by the use of drugs known to cause/enhance paranoia such as but soley: ex, acid, marijuana, meth, crack or others to a lesser degree: mushrooms, alcohol, otc medicines. We could talk about his deconstructionism, revisionism, the elimination of those things requiring elevated thought to more focus on the simple eventually leading to a kill or die slowly attitude.

What has been surprising has been the level of insult. Yeah, Palin sends subliminal messages through her hairdo. So when young pop-hippy or neo-liberal youngster is sitting in their smoke circle or just critically thinking the concept, I call it passive influence but I'm sure there is a pro word for it, and find themselves disagreeing with the narrative the idea is to get the subject to think OMG the Palins in my head!...which is the insult. It is an insult to the people they are attempting to coerce into the narrative..watch out, the Palin is so effective there is a 1/150,000,000 chance you could be the next to flip out and kill someone. The left is out to get me, typed in my zip onto weather underground and a crosshair. I never went ducking for cover after watching crossfire, never thought the capital gang was going to shake me down, knew the difference between a political campaign and military campaign, the difference between WWII blitz and football blitz, and a spelling bee didn't require specialized clothing.

What is trying to be obscured with the emotion shouting is the negative, that with a lifetime of this type of rhetoric, and images, and movies, and so forth, it was a graphic on a website he never visited or just maybe heard about which did this? Well, if that is the case then anything could have flipped him -or- someone was making him afraid that they really are out to get him.

So the real shocker in this is the behavior of the mourning nation represented in the auditorium. See, it was supposed to be a eulogy..stand, applaud, be respectful. Instead we get the student section at a college basketball game.

So basically what we have is a government who considers themselves better judges of literature and meaning then Samuel Clemmons

...can't finish, gotta go

#6  The left continues to strive for relevance following Nov 2nd. Beware a cornered animal however as they further descend into madness.

#5  ryuge dear, come sit next to me on the couch. I made you a cup of chamomile tea -- if you sip it slowly, you will discover yourself calming down. ;-)

#4  The left can't help themselves. And they are going to become more and more uncivil for the next two years as the strength of the backlash against lefty governance becomes more apparent with each passing week. Which means that everyone who is sticking with this narrative that the right is more uncivil/angry/racist/crazy/evil than the left will have to tie themselves further and further into knots to explain why their comments aren't as shockingly horrifying as those of [Palin/Limbaugh/Beck/whoever]. The humiliating reaction of the left to the shooting spree in Tucson will be the gift that keeps giving. Paul Krugman's credibility is already now somewhere between Keith Olbermann's and Dan Rather's. And he's taking the NYT with him.
Bwaaahahahahahaha!

I doubt the guy ever had anything to do with conservative media. He was very liberal according to his friends.
