Democrats Ignore Obama's Advice on Civility

Never let a crisis go to waste (from the Daily Caller):
1.) Catty Hill Dems can't resist spinning a tragedy-- Here are two good ways to win votes and influence people: Hours after a national tragedy, phone a reporter and spin the event this way: The Obama White House "need[s] to deftly pin this on the tea partiers….Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people.” When Pres. Obama instead says before a crowd in Tucson, "What we can’t do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another....Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations," the next best thing Democrats can do, apparently, is personally attack Rep. John Boehner for not flying to Tucson to hear Obama discourage personal attacks. Different aide, different day, same moral depravity: “Don’t you think they could have worked with the White House on timing to make sure he got on AF1?,” a senior congressional aide told The Daily Caller's Jon Ward on Thursday. “Hell, as speaker, he could have taken a delegation to Arizona on military air.” When it was pointed out that Boehner was already attending a memorial, in Washington, the aide argued that the speaker was skipping Tucson for an RNC event. “Tell these guys to give me a break. Bottom line: he’s not there and he’s Speaker of the House. He’s not there and is at an RNC event tonight. Period.” The aforementioned statements have nothing to do with why House Democrats are in the minority, but are two good reasons why they should stay there.
These guys are upset because their efforts to blame the shooting on the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or whoever else they can think of has failed so badly. With their golden opportunity to capitalize on a tragedy slipping away they're becoming more and more desperate to manufacture a villain.

And it makes them look so...bad, and their characters...despicable.

And they're so unaware of it!

It's sometimes said that when your enemy is about to shoot himself in the foot, you should encourage him to "aim higher" and use a larger caliber. this, though, is a time to just let them do unto themselves, and stand back out of splatter range.
