Civility? Are you kidding me?

Okay, the Left can officially no longer lecture about "civility" as long as this is allowed to exist with no comment from them.

Let's review: You cannot put up a map with cross-hairs over congressional districts "targeted" as potential Republican victories. (Wait, you mean a map like this one?) If you do this, you are inciting violence and you are entirely to blame when a lone gunman, a man with a history of mental and emotional problems who was described by acquaintances as "creepy" and who never showed a hint of being political at all, let alone right-wing, starts shooting in a public area and those he hits include a Democratic congresswoman.

However, you can create a freaking online game where you get to mow down "tea party zombies", including likenesses of Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck, all without comment from those "so concerned" about civility. Horse-shit. I'm sorry if I offend those who don't like four-letter words, but this is so much more offensive than a mere "profanity". This is an unprecedented level of repugnance from a political affiliation I thought could sink no lower.

What's next after this? A game where you get to be President Obama mowing down all the GOP presidential contenders? A game where you're planned parenthood and you get to shoot up zombie unborn fetuses? A game where you play as members of the Congressional Black Caucus gunning down all the white people you can find?

Now, just imagine for a moment that instead of "Tea Party Zombies", somebody made a game where you get to shoot at likenesses of Michael Moore, Barney Frank, Keith Olbermann, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and even Barack Obama himself. I don't even have to write potential headlines for this; they write themselves. The makers of the game would be sued, the site taken down, and they would then be investigated by the DOJ as potential threats to the President.

Don't tell me they wouldn't. When a pastor at a tiny church with just over 100 members apparently prays for Obama's death, the DOJ pays him a visit. Now, I hate this pastor as much as it's possible to hate a human being, because he is basically a Fred Phelps in training, but let's be honest here; how much power does this man really hold? And how seriously can you take a man like this?

Plus, Bush protesters repeatedly showed up at rallies with signs calling for Bush's murder. Not kidding. Not one of those assholes was ever investigated by the DOJ, not one was arrested, not one was taken seriously. This is perfectly acceptable, apparently, while stupid men praying in a tiny church that used to be a convenience store apparently warrants a visit from the DOJ and nightly news coverage.

And now it's gone beyond mere signs and parade floats, and a game has been designed where you get to mow down likenesses of real human beings you disagree with politically. This is the Democratic picture of civility.

Barack Obama needs to make a speech right now repudiating this game and its designers and demanding it be taken down.

While he's at it, he needs to condemn the Congressional Black Caucus, specifically Maxine Waters for saying the Tea Party "can go straight to Hell and I'm gonna help 'em get there", and Andre "Hears Racial Slurs in his Head" Carson, who recently said the Tea Party "would like to see [black people] hanging from trees."

He needs to condemn Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. for declaring that he and others should "take those sons of bitches out!", referring to the Tea Party.

He needs condemn his own Vice President for calling the Tea Party "a bunch of terrorists".

Either that or he should make a speech saying he really doesn't care about "civility", because it's clear that no one on the left does. At least when it's against Conservatives.
