I hope you’re sitting down….Bill Whittle engages in some shockingly “uncivil” and “eliminationist” rhetoric, here – sure to make liberal heads explode:
Chris Matthews found Michele Bachmann’s speech on the House floor, yesterday, to be “extremist”, and tells a grim, head-shaking, Debbie Wasserman Schultz that her speech shouldn’t be allowed. That’s right, the “extreme”, Michele Bachmann, Captain Civility charges, is “pretty close to a nut case”, and should be muzzled. How dare she speak honestly about how Republicans plan to repeal ObamaCare.
This is more in the question area of tone and what happened with your friend, Congresswoman Giffords, and she’s still recovering and we’re praying for her to make it, and she’s been showing good signs. Let me ask you this. This kind of talk from Michele Bachmann. I don’t know why she’s allowed to be an extremist, and everybody is coaxing on the Right, Republicans saying the President should move to the center and be reasonable and moderate, where she’s allowed to be out there as a screamer, and in many cases pretty close to a nut case. This kind of talk. She’s standing on the floor of the House, her job is to enact legislation, and yet there she is standing there saying her goal in life is to eliminate a presidency. That’s how she talks? Is that what you do on the floor of the Congress now? You talk about eliminating somebody else’s political career? I thought there was some deference about these things.
Here , via the Blaze, is what “nutcase, screamer”, Bachmann said that gave Matthews the vapors:
No, I didn’t either. I heard a determined woman talking about how the GOP plans to eventually get Obamacare repealed.

Who the hell is Matthews trying to kid?

Where was he during the Bush years when the President was routinely insulted by Democrats, in the most disrespectful terms imaginable. Does he really think our memories are that short?
Rep. Cohen, (D-TN), probably thought he was in safe territory, here, but Anderson Cooper did a really good job holding his feet to the fire. Is Cooper auditioning for a job with Fox New?

PolitiFact, of course, is a PolitiFarce — liberal activists masquerading as neutral journalists. As Karl at Hot Air put it so well in response to the group’s declaration that the federal takeover of health care was a “lie:”
“PolitiFact exists largely as an attempt to del[e]gitimize certain political opinions.”
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) is refusing to apologize for his words on the House floor likening GOP opponents of ObamaCare to Geobbels, andinvoking the Holocaust. So far, neither Robert Gibbs nor President Obama has commented on this obvious slap in the face to the President’s call for civility. This would seem to be an obvious opportunity for the President to triangulate and win over independents – a Sistah Souljah moment. But is he willing to antagonize an ObamaCare supporter? Meanwhile, even liberal Jewish groups that support Obama are condemning Cohen’s words.
Usually these faux apologies run along the lines of “sorry if you were offended,” but this guy’s actually a step past that. Essentially, he’s saying “sorry for letting your offense sidetrack my party’s agenda.”
