How's That New Civility Thing Working For You?

Gotta love those Democrats who soberly, self-righteously, and, oh...hypocritically call for Republicans and Tea Bagg...Partiers to start engaging in civil conversation:

Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who serves as the (Congressional Black Caucus)’s chief vote counter, said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would “love to see us as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree.”

Carson also said the tea party is stopping change in Congress, likening it to “the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow.”

The explosive comments, caught on tape, were uploaded on the Internet Tuesday, and Carson’s office stood by the remarks.
