CNN Mocked Conservative ‘Tea Baggers,’ But Now Decries Incivility
By Scott Whitlock | June 25, 2018 4:21 PM EDT

CNN on Monday lamented the coarsening of the culture and a tone of incivility only getting worse with each day. Network analyst David Gergen blamed the President for “putting the country on a boil.” Yet, this is the same CNN that mocked Tea Party members in 2009 with vulgar and disgusting jokes.

During Newsroom, Gergen responded to aggressive comments by Donald Trump, Maxine Waters and others on the left and right. He blamed: “We have never had a President who... lit the fire and put the country on boil more than this one.”

"Incivility" only applies in one direction.

"Freedom fighting" is what means to the ends are justified by those who tell us what direction "incivility" comes from.

Whom by the way are the same morons who demonstrate for us that in their coming utopia, some animals are more equal than others.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Do people not understand that the Holy Enlightened Ones are exempt from all rules that they demand others live by?

Well they have an excuse for their incivility.

David Gerkin?  Man.  Only Cnn can drag out a  79 y/o loser to wax poetically about the bad old days of the GOP.  What a sour puss.
