"But before we can have civilization again, we need civility. We need to stop assuming that other Americans are evil, or consort with evil, that they have evil intentions or evil hearts." Last Saturday: Dirty F'ing Haties http://www.danablankenhorn.com/2008/02/dirty-fing-hati.html "Stop fearing Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz and Michelle Malkin and their ilk. Laugh at them. Right in their faces. Laugh at them. They don't scare you anymore, they're buffoons, they're figures of fun, they're circus clowns, every single goddamn one of them." "Next, I want you to do the same with anyone who takes them seriously. Anyone who listens to them ... Anyone who blogs approvingly of them -- don't read that person. Don't take a word they say at face value. Don't address any of their points. For God's sake, don't argue with them. They're drug-addled, the drug is hate ..." "Laugh at them instead. They're idiots, they're imbeciles, they're useless...." "Next, I want you to go to their enablers. Their advertisers, their employers, anyone who takes them seriously. Let them know that you don't, that you no longer take them seriously, either, because they're keeping this garbage alive. ... that anyone who supports lunacy is a lunatic themselves." Civility. D'yeah, right.
