Washington ComPost Cries Crocodile Tears Over Loss Of Civility & Blame Conservatives, Ignore Long List Of Liberal Incivility & Attacks

In Sunday's Washington ComPost, the story, "In Today's Viral World, Who Keeps a Civil Tongue?," ran above the fold on the front page.

The gist of the story was the crocodile tears cried by ComPost reporter Ann Gerhart, who began with an e-mail written to Charisse Carney-Nunes, an Obama worshipping author, from Michelle Malkin, in regards to the "Barack Hussein Obama, Mmm Mmmm Mmmm" indoctrination song. Gerhart makes Carney-Nunes appear to be a victim from all us supposedly "hateful" conservatives.

Michelle writes her response and other observations here.
Carney-Nunes isn’t interested in talking to me. And she isn’t interested in talking to you. She is interested in promoting the cult of Obama in elementary schools and helping kids “find that inner Obama” without anyone criticizing her.

It’s a telling sign of the Post’s ideological agenda and its insufficient tuned-in-ness (to borrow the NYTimes’ phrase) that the paper doesn’t think parental concerns about left-wing radicalism in the schools are Page A1-newsworthy — but that the complaints of a social justice proselytizer are.


I'd like to ask ComPost Reporter Ann Gerhart where all this concern about the loss of civility was from her and her "newspaper" during the Bush years. Movies, books and "artwork" calling for Bush's assassination, hate towards our military are part of it. Click here, Ann, to see a compilation.

How many people had Bush/Cheney bumperstickers keyed off their cars? Did you hear of the woman run off the road by a man enraged by her Bush/Cheney bumpersticker, Ann? He not only put her life in jeopardy, but the lives of her young children who were in the car.

What about the Dallas Morning News, writing about Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams apology for saying "I could kill George Bush?" In the story, they actually wrote the following:
Several women at the conference said they admired Ms. Williams for having the courage to say what she thought – even if unpopular.

Courage, at having expressed a desire to kill the (then) President of the United States?

And ponder this, Ann. I thought Obama promised to bring this nation together and heal the divisions between Left and Right. Well, did you and the ComPost miss these stories of anti-McCain vandalism in Maryland and in Gainesville, VA?

From personal experience, I'd like to tell you, Ann, how I overheard a Obama Canvasser for the Fairfax County Democrat Party tell my wife she was "sleeping with the enemy." Maybe I should have you contact my brother-in-law in Texas, who earlier this year returned to his pickup truck bearing a McCain/Palin sticker and saw that not only was the sticker crossed out with a black sharpie, but the word "sucks" was written underneath the sticker.

Funny how none of that appeared in your story, Ann.
