Well said comrade.

Brian, as this YouTube video from Wisconsin clearly shows, your confidence in your progressive comrades to be anything close to civil was highly misplaced.

"Scott Walker = Adolf Hitler", is that civil?
Is "Midwest Mussolini" or "Hosni Walker" civil?
How about comparing Walker to a rapist and a terrorist?
How about putting Walker in the crosshairs on a DONT RETREAT RELOAD sign?
Or maybe you prefer DEATH TO TYRANTS?

What I don't get, Brian - given your passion for civility - is how you can blog about both progressive civility and the events in Wisconsin without linking the two topics. You're like a hawk watching for a Tea Party slip-up but you're AWOL and looking the other way when your own kind embarass you so publicly.
