No, Sarah. Nobody said "kick them when they're down".

[Cetacea]

Another lie that seemingly went over the heads of the Press Corp...

[anarch]

1. well, technically I think I said something like "when they go low, we step on their fucking necks!"

but I am not a public figure, and nobody actually cares what I have to say...in my opinion, nobody has been nearly harsh enough in their language with regard to these fucking fascist scum.

And in case it's not clear from the context, no, I am not advocating for physical violence...I don't think anyone meant, in the phrase "when they go low..." that the filthy rethug scum are actually trying to kick us in the crotch. It's a metaphor. We cannot continue to let the lying shitbags of the world frame every argument, and dictate the terms of every discussion. When they lie, they should be exposed as liars.

9. The point being that another lie went unchallenged eom

[True Dough]

2. I believe the reference was to Eric Holder

[JI7]

3. did Holder or any of his supporters send a bomb to someone ?

[True Dough]

4. Not that I'm aware of

I'm not trying to make a case of equivalency at all, so it's silly to go there. But let's not pretend no one on our side says some questionable things.

[JI7]

5. people on our side know Holder wasn't actually calling for violence

he was referring to responding to ugly attacks from the other side.

6. As the conversation increasingly turns to the need to restore civility,

due to Trump and his reckless rhetoric, it would be wise to avoid advocating "kicking" one's opponents, whether literal or figurative.

[JI7]

7. it only turns to the need for civility if a democrat may say something critical

it's still nothing compared to trump pretty much cheering on and calling for his fucked up supporters to go kill jewish people and others he hates.

11. In the words of Hillary Clinton herself...

"But it is a troubling time, isn’t it?" said Clinton. "And it’s a time of deep divisions, and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. We also have to elect candidates who will try to do the same."

That quote came after she said civility can begin again when Democrats win back the House and/or Senate.


By the way, here's a picture of civility. We must lead by example, as he did.

[Cetacea]

10. Yes. Thanks eom
