A touch of blogosphere civility: "We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!"

atrios and kos have both posted on this and, given my intense feelings toward karl rove, i simply cannot let it pass...

Bad Words

I love civility lessons from Mr. "We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!"

Rove, civility arbiter

So Rove hates us.

He also claimed that liberals use more “bad words,” comparing sites like DailyKos and Democratic Underground to Townhall and FreeRepublic. The “netroots often argue from anger rather than reason, and too often, their object is personal release, not political persuasion,” said Rove.

"Bad words" like this?

We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!

karl rove has the most amazing ability - chutzpah? giant balls? - to decry the very thing HE is the most guilty of... i have lost track of the number of times he has used that tactic... one of the most memorable was his address to the national association of republican lawyers where he congratulated them for their hard work preventing election fraud... the only sane reaction to such crap is your jaw dropping to the floor... what this unwelcome and unanticipated re-appearance of mr. rove in the public spotlight reminds me of is how firmly i still believe that the man is completely in league with the darkest of forces... he is truly an evil, evil man...

IOKIYM (It's OK if you're Markos)

markos issues a warning about the lack of civility in recent diaries...

There has lately been an alarming rise in diaries and comments that seek to impugn (without evidence) the motives of those they disagree with on various issues.

[...]

This points to a serious breakdown not just on civility, but in the ability of people to properly debate various issues. As such, it presents a serious threat to the integrity of this site.

[...]

This is my one and only warning on the matter. I'll try to be an optimist and hope that this is the last time I'll have to address it. I won't let this site become as nasty as your typical usenet forum, and those who encourage that sort of environment should consider themselves duly warned.

i was perfectly ok and 100% supportive of that until markos added this and stuck his foot down his gullet all the way up to his knee...

Update: And no, Bush won't cancel the next round of elections to remain in power. That's about the most ridiculous conspiracy theory I've seen in a long time. Some people on our side can be just as "out there" as the "black helicopter" crowd.

evidently it's ok if you're markos...

Here's some civility for you, Joe... Eat shit and die...

[In] a panel discussion sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute ... Lieberman appeared alongside House Minority Leader John Boehner, [and] stressed the importance of civility in what is becoming an increasing hostile partisan environment within the Capitol.

you want civility, joe...? you want CIVILITY...? i'll give you CIVILITY...!

Political division during wartime weakens US interests, Lieberman said, and the four-term senator implied some politicians were cynically exploiting the war to score partisan points.

"Now, look, there are people on both sides who have very sincere opinions for or against the war," he said. "There are other people -- I say this respectfully; it hurts me to say it -- who are doing it because they're following the party."

how DARE you demean those opposed to the war by accusing them of blindly following their political party... HOW DARE YOU...! you are one craven son of a bitch, joseph i. lieberman...
