The only weapons we have, in a free society, with which to combat coarse ad hominem attacks against citizens by media types who enjoy the privilege of national exposure via radio and television programs are denunciation and ostracism. Therefore, Mr. President, I call upon your Super Pac to return the $1 million donation it received from Bill Maher, and I call upon you, personally, to publicly distance yourself from the misogynistic comments of this vulgar cretin.
And while you’re at it – you know, doing the right thing – you should call up Mike Malloy and chastise him for making vile remarks about the people who recently suffered so grievously from the tornadoes that recently swept the South and Midwest.
Just a mo – we’re not finished. How about contacting Rep. Paul Ryan and telling him how disgusted you were when the Agenda Project – which, interestingly, is managed by people from your own Party - ran that ad showing a Ryan look-alike reprising the famous Richard Widmark scene in Kiss of Death?
You might also give Debbie Wasserman-Schultz a ring, and inform her that her demonization of the Tea Party is beyond the pale of acceptable polemics.
Doing the right thing. Any time, now, Mr. President…

I bet you're holding your breath until President Civility heeds your call.
Remember that old saying about how in order to get a mule's attention, you have to hit him over the head with a two by four?
With Obama, one needs a pile driver, Rebecca.
R-Man: Nah. As the saying goes, I was born on a Tuesday, but it wasn't last Tuesday.
Deborah Leigh said...And while we're at it, call on him to denounce Dan Akroyd's vile comment to Jane on SNL. There is no expiration on incivility. Obama should do it for the children, for all women, for a new day in Washington. Oops. Sorry. Just had a flashback to his last campaign.
In calling fleeing sponsors, there were a couple that had the same talking points, where could find the transcript because they had not been able to; Rush hates women, etc. Just letting them know that boycotts are a double-edge sword, and I'm wielding.
