Lawrence O’Donnell Finds Death Of Civility Comparing Today’s GOP With 2008 John McCain

video
» 75 comments

Arizona is considering recognizing an “official state gun” nearly two months after one of their Congresspeople was shot, while in Georgia, another Congressman seems comfortable being asked “who is going to shoot Obama?” Lawrence O’Donnell recalls a time long ago when Republicans would have found this behavior unacceptable and, concerned, asked Princeton professor Melissa Harris Perry to explain the change in the GOP between 2008 and today. She had a simple answer: “There are no adults in the room anymore.”

Citing the nation’s “dangerously short attention span,” O’Donnell began his segment by pointing out the movement in Arizona to name an official state gun, something he found distasteful in light of the tragic shooting that took the lives of six people and gravely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. But all the way on the other side of the nation, O’Donnell found Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia, who calmly answered the question “Who is going to shoot Obama?” at a Town Hall meeting without what O’Donnell perceived to be substantial indignation. While his team argued Rep. Broun had been misquoted, O’Donnell noted that the Congressman had previously stated doubts as to President Obama’s nationality and religion, casting doubt on whether his calm response to the question was truly because he was “taken by surprise.”

Harris Perry, by contrast, viewed much of the Republican Party’s behavior at this point as distraction more than the particular sort of malice O’Donnell was finding. “Why are we talking about an official state anything,” she argued, in the middle of an economic crisis? She explained the behavior as more of a way for the Republicans to harness the national frustration with the state of things generally through “symbolic attempts to demonstrate that the Republican Party is in solidarity with exactly those elements on the right that are challenging the very nature of our government.”

To highlight the difference between Republicans of today and those in the pre-Obama era, O’Donnell played clips of a town hall meeting with then-presidential candidate John McCain, telling confused attendees that President Obama was not an “Arab” and was a “decent man” they had no reason to fear. “John McCain would have given him hell,” O’Donnell noted of the audience member at Rep. Broun’s event. “What happened?” Harris Perry noted that “there are no adults in the room anymore,” the dynamic in the Republican Party has changed completely as a reaction to being out of power, but she hoped that it would be abundantly clear to the mainstream that “we address ideological differences through elections, not assassinations.”

    Take a gander at the depths the Obama-Left will go to use the RACIST SMEAR against anyone – including black conservatives – that goes against these close-minded bigots:

    Analyzing a new Republican ad that urges voters to “stop Obama and his union bosses,” MSNBC‘s Lawrence O’Donnell was shocked Friday night by the message’s apparent racism.

    “The Republican Party is saying that the president of the United States has bosses… that the unions bossing him around. Does that sound to you like they are trying to consciously or subconsciously deliver the racist message that of course — of course a black man can’t be the real boss?” O’Donnell asks his guest, former Michigan Democratic Gov. Jennifer

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    This nonsense is getting old. O’Donnell has no room to complain about being civil. Some posters that follow will give numerous stupid statements by O’Donnell.

    O’Donnell is a notorious LIAR. I can still remember him on with Matthews when he said his inside sources told him that there would be many arrests in the vice presidents office. There would be as many as ten people frog marched out in handcuffs. This was supposed to happen because of the outing of the CIA idiot whose husband was used to undermine our efforts in Iraq. I am still waiting for those arrests and no Scooter Libby was not handcuffed and marched out.

    He always lies.

  • The Real Royal King

    While I do think O’Donnell took that a bit far Norbit, Jr., I do think that the RNC was casual and careless with that ad. It made possible to make a comment like O’Donnell did because it did walk a very thin line. I don’t think the RNC intended to be overtly racist, even racist by implication, but it was a poorly crafted approach.

    Were I a Democratic opportunity and a bit cynical, I could effectively use this ad to suggest just what O’Donnell did. I don’t think it wise to have given Democrats this type of fodder. If this is the work of the new RNC chairman, I have to say Steele might begin looking very good indeed.

    Demonstrating yet again that the left will never understand the right. What’s happening, IMO, is that there is an element in the Republican party (Tea Partyers?) who have decided that being above the fray hasn’t gotten us anywhere, and therefore it’s necessary to get down in the mud with the left. I’m not sure it’s such a good idea, but I can understand the thinking.

  • The Real Royal King

    More to the point, in the new Congress, McCain is 100% reliably conservative. The intersting question this raises is: Would the civil 2008 McCain act the same way today? In the end, I would like to hope he would. Certainly, by comparison to his running mate in 2008, he seemed to embody the tone which has always allowed our political system produce effect gouvernance.

    When you compare this with what we are seeing in Wiscosnin with Governor Walker and the Assembly Leader, rabid partisan frauds, liars and manipulators both, you must surely conclude that whatever legislation passes, whatever the outcome of the immediate fight, Wisconsin government will be broken for a generation. And, that is purely by tone.

    The civility from Obama, Biden and McCain in 2008 may be viewed as our salad days. I hope not. I hope that becomes our norm.

    I can understand the thinking as well, but it isn’t a very refined thinking is it. It’s something akin to the lowest common denominator in American politics it seems to be. And, there are parallels among liberals, unfortunately. Disgracefully. Sometimes, we are all called to rise beyond our natures.

    The point here was to expose, once again, the calculated strategy of the Democratic Left in using contrived allegations of Racism to denigrate the character of their political opponents.

    Exposing this not only reveals the vacuous nature of the Democratic Left’s positions, but their integrity, as well.

  • http://www.zazzle.com/talkingpoints NORBIT Jr.

    How will Larry O. and the Public Union Democrats justify this to the American people?

    - Turns out over 2 million Fed Employees DON’T have collective bargaining, except for something minor, and the law for this was enacted under Jimmy Carter w/ Dem. House & Senate!!
    Answer, They can’t!

    Public Union collective bargaining is, by definition, inherently corrupt.

    The only question remaining:
    Is the Democrat-supporting network media IGNORANT or COMPLICIT in not addressing this fact.

    I don’t think it’s getting into the mud with the left. It’s a matter of refusing to blunt the truth to make it more palatable. It isn’t mudslinging if your facts are in order. Enough is enough and it’s high time we said so.

    Emma I have deduced that a good portion of the posters on Mediaite, at least the regulars are sockpuppets, probably employed by some right wing think tank or some elements within the Republican party.

    A very interesting wikileaks cable that was recently released was about how there is a organized effort to infiltrate blogs and websites and in their words “bully and intimidate” posters who do not agree with their right wing party line.

    Mediaite out of the several blogs I post on is the most disgustingly transparent. The sockpuppet trolls on here are some of the worst on the net.

    Don’t let it get you down a good portion of them are being paid to do this. I can produce the evidence of the cable if you wish let me know?

    The Democratic party might not have voted for Mccain but they respected him, then Sarah Palin came into the mix… and that’s when politics started to get pretty deranged. She comes out saying things NO ONE says about their opponent, that he’s UnAMerican, that he “pals with terrorists”…

    Well, “defined benefit” plans are unsustainable and that’s why many companies have switched to “defined contribution ” plans. The idea that a company should continue to pay you after you have already rendered your services and have been paid is truly a “giveaway” that companies should totally control; not ex-employees. Let the market determine who more and better people.

    I used to work with the local police on issues impacting our company and one of the cops came in and asked me if we were hiring? He said he had put in his 20 years and was now eligible to receive a pension equal to 75% of his salary!!!!

    So his working for the city , he felt, was earning him just 25% more if he slept in each day.

    That is totally nuts.

  • Paleoconservatarian

    John McCain’s refusal to become nasty to salvage a losing campaign was laudable, but in no way should he be misinterpreted as being the standard bearer for the Republican party. His hands off approach gave us a president with ideas very different from where the country was, ideas that went unchallenged. Should Obama had receive more scrutiny in the campaign, scrutiny that may have been had without getting personal, McCain might have drawn more support. But McCain’s views on the role of government weren’t in stark contrast and, seeing the writing on the wall, he chose not to stand in the way of “hisotry.” The result was the American people electing the least vetted president in history.

    It’s correct to point out that Republicans are now aligning themselves in opposition to “the core nature of our federal governemnt.” That nature, increasing exponentially of late, needs to be opposed in the strongest way short of what the man in Broun’s audience represented. It should be no surprise the Republicans are finding that standing for fiscal discipline is returning to them the support that had flagged when their party became just as bad as Democrats under the leadership of men like W. Bush and John McCain.

    It’s not the economy stupid; it’s the fact that we don’t have enough businesses to put people to work. Today’s businesses formed a Cartel like the OPEC Oil gangsters. This legally kills all competition. They do this to monopolize production and services to horde everything for the few who belong to the Cartel. Wise up you educated dummies; real management could have caught this long before the economic debacle this same group created.

    Hey Frannie, There were several instances of liberal hate and violence in the last couple of days. Is Mediaite just planning on ignoring those? When there is a Beck rally, you search the crowd for anything objectionable and pretty much post it in real time. I can understand why you want to spike these stories.

    Or maybe a piece on how practically no one showed up at the liberal rallies yesterday. Pretty embarrassing since it’s been in the works for a while. I’m guessing if Beck’s rally had been a bust, it would’ve been front page news to you.

    This is an excellent story on the anarchists of the left:

    That is good. It’s too bad the media is infested with Liberals.
