On Madison-based blogspots, one is repeatedly reminded that the Right must "be civil."
Shall the Right model its civility on the example provided by the Left?
...John McCain had chosen a running mate 'whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion... (Democrat State Chairman/South Carolina)

...What her Down syndrome baby and pregnant teenage daughter unequivocally prove, however, is that her most beloved child is the antiabortion platform that ensures her own political ambitions with the conservative right. (Salon)
That's only a few, and it doesn't touch the "Conservatives are, ipso facto, stupid" 'civility' which began when Ron Reagan was running for President.
It's good that the Left doesn't give driving lessons the same way they teach 'civility.' It's bad that the Left dominates education, however.

As for me, I don't think she can be elected. I'd rather she have set her sights on bumping Don Young out of Congress.
Why are you trying to follow the left? What's your standard for civility? Protesters in Madison are thugs, but the destroyers of art are to be applauded?
