We demand civility now!

  So over at Yahoo and spread all across the web is an article entitled, "The GOP's health care bill repeal: tactless timing?" The first line in the article is this question:  

With the nation craving civility after the Arizona shootings, should House Republicans be pushing the divisive health-reform repeal bill?

  What the HECK does the health care bill repeal have to do with tact and timing? 
  The article goes on to pretty much point fingers at Republicans for daring to get back to work on the nation's business; the writers point to MSNBC for video, to Moe Lane at Red State for advice on being tactful and to the notoriously uncivil Ezra Klein who advised that, for a start, Repubs need to take the words "job killing" out of the title.
  So let's be clear. 
  The push is on to use the nutjob evil tragic acts in Tucson, which had nothing to do with Congress, the health care bill or civility, as an opportunity to make political points; IOW, we've moved on from the intense push for guilt tactical phase to the consequences tactical phase.
  What's being done here is blatant manipulation, once again, thinly veiled in the name of compassion and concern.
  Cue the new repeal bill losing support poll. (All of a sudden, legislators are supposed to care about public opinion regarding health care laws?)
  But let's ask a question first.
  Just who's craving civility?
  Well, let's see.
  How about the people who lost the election in November. 
  THEY'RE craving civility now that they have ramrodded their shoddy legislation through and lost the subsequent election because the American people were shocked at their behavior. 
  NOW they want everyone to get along. 
  NOW they want everyone to sit down and have a kumbaya moment.
  Tone it down.
  Quit disagreeing.
  Don't say mean things, as we interpret mean.
  This is a thinly veiled opportunistic way to neuter the opposition, piggy backed on the deaths and injuries of American citizens.
  Of course, all that is being done based on the idea that people who disagree with one another ideologically are being uncivil, vitriolic and violent.
  If YOU disagree with ME, you're uncivil.
  Weak kneed Republicans are falling for this.
  They have nothing to be ashamed of; representing your point of view in an argument is as old as humanity. It's healthy too.
  Suddenly rhetorical devices and graphics that have been used by all politicians for decades are off limits, shocking, incendiary and violence inducing.
  Now democrats, always in control of the direction, have giddily suggested that all of America would benefit if both parties were to display unity and sit together at the SOTU speech. (Will they guarantee The One will not slice and dice mock the opposition from his perch high above the masses?)
  Chuck Schumer leaped to the opportunity, making a point yesterday to state publicly that he was the one to call up Coburn to arrange to sit together, thereby achieving maximum political advantage in addition to a selfless kumbaya moment.
  The events of the last ten days have been terribly distressing; just as distressing, if not moreso, is the fact that politicians are using the situation to score political points.
   One act was committed by a nutjob evil tragically disturbed individual; these acts are being perpetrated with forethought, deliberately and selfishly for political advantage.
  Many of us find it appalling.
  Enough with the violent calls for Civility Now!
