Liberal Hypocrisy

Capuano Urges Protesters To “Get Bloody”
US Representative Michael Capuano, who decried violent political rhetoric after last month’s shooting of his Democratic colleague, Gabrielle Giffords, used some extremely belligerent language of his own at a union rally in Boston. "Every once in a while you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary,” Capuano told union workers who were protesting Wisconsin Governor Walker at a rally outside the State House. What happened to the civil political discourse that Obama preached just a few weeks ago? “So we’ve moved on now from basic incivility to actually using violent rhetoric," said Sean.  And this isn’t the first time Capuano's big mouth got him in trouble.  On his way out of a meeting with staffers at Somerville Journal in Massachusetts Capuano said, “Politicians, I think are too bland today. I don’t know what they believe in …. Nothing wrong with throwing a coffee cup at s omeone if you’re doing it for human rights.” Where is Mr. Civility himself? The big standard-bearer, the Lecturer-In-Chief, the 'Anointed One' – doesn’t he have anything to say about all of this? “The president is about as mute on this as he is about Libya,” Sean said dryly. “Once again Obama is AWOL. Liberals view this civility thing not as a public good in its own right but as a club or a stick. They basically use this as a political tactic to beat up on conservatives and shut them up
