What can the left do? Gabby Gifford got shot, the Right dug in. Ron Barber was also shot. Maybe we could sit around and get shot. Our local GOP held events where you could shoot a full auto M-16 at pictures of Gabby until she did get shot. I live on the border, politicians and militias all come here to get their pictures taken. I'll go with the gun enthusiasts we should allow firearms in the capitol and the White House. I've been called a libturd, the enemy, and on and on every day. Now the VA is going to take $1700 a month from me. The Army is taking $900 and Medicaid will no longer pay for Nursing care. You expect me to be friendly

Its ironic that this thread is started by someone with the handle of "lovetorow", which could mean they love rowing...or the love the argument version of it.

His tagline?
Evil GOPer - Kicks Puppies and Makes Kids Cry
Some highlights of his recent post history:

I think you should leave STAT. Take as many liberals as possible with you on your way out, please.

Please tell me you aren't naïve enough to believe the polls pushed by the mainstream media. I thought the Presidential election would have cured that particular brand of left wing insanity, but apparently not.
etc etc etc. His post history is full of similar posts. Now suddenly.....his side is the victim of incivility, and he asks what the other side will do to stop it.
Get a mirror.

I remember so well when the Obama hate was at it's peak. I posted here that when a Republican is next elected, they will call for civility and Democrats owe them nothing considering the way there were treating Obama. Posters replied that would not be the case, that Republicans were above the need for such a thing as civility.

The thread topic is not about LTR. I do not believe I've ever claimed to be perfect. You should probably review the TOS. Fortunately, you're personally attacking someone who doesn't believe in reporting every violation of the TOS.

My question is what, if anything, will these liberals do to work towards the civility they claim they want?


Will they stop claiming that efforts to reform the failed ACA will result in "killing thousands of people"?


Will they stop claiming that conservatives are bigots/racists/xenophobes simply because they want illegal immigration addressed.


Will they stop making wild-eyes accusations of treason with no evidence whatsoever simply because they lost an election?


Will they stop encouraging their followers to "resist," to "take out Trump and company," and warning that there must be "blood in the streets"?


Will they stop violent protests that silence political speech they disagree with at colleges and universities?


Will they stop their angry and hateful rhetoric about racism and brutality committed on a systemic basis by police officers and other law enforcement officials?


My prediction is that we'll have a few days of relative quiet from the left, and then it will be back to the same all out war of rhetoric on conservatives and Republicans. And then, predictably, more violence will follow as the next unhinged Bernie supporter loses it and makes an assassination attempt or worse.
Republicans were nasty all 8 years that Obama was president.

Drown out the noise. I'm talking specifically here at CD. We can choose -- both left and right -- not to engage in the really emotionally charged, void of any substance comments that are meant to troll, bait, incite but does little to encourage any real dialogue.

They weren't nasty. The Republican party and its associated RWNJ media were the nasty ones all 8 years of the Obama administration!

Of course page after page of 100% predictable responses. Liberals have absolutely ZERO intention of being in any way civil or doing anything to tone down the rhetoric, engage in childish "but people on the right did...blah blah blah" and at the same time try and claim how high and moral they are.

Totally predictable. Don't ever expect them to stop their violent protests or hate speech while mouthing utterly empty comments about how tolerant they are.
