That whole civility thing
Cortillaen sent us a link to a Warner Todd Huston post on Big Government about a Pennsylvania State Representative who asked a colleague on the floor of the legislature if he would mind if she could blow his brains;
In open debate, right on the floor of the House, [Pennsylvania State Representative Margo Davidson of Philadelphia] said, “If the gentleman from Butler County stood yelling, knowing that he’s a gun-toter, and I felt threatened, would I be protected under court law if I blew his brains out.”
After this outrageous utterance, the Pilly Inquirer’s John Baer reports that Rep. Davidson was so pleased with herself she “giggled.”
Of course, the debate was about expanding Pennsylvania’s “castle doctrine” – the rights of law abiding Pennsylvanians to protect themselves with those evil firearms. As Huston says, imagine if a Republican white male had said the same to a black woman.
It’s nice to see that Democrats are taking advantage of this new age of civility since the shooting in Tucson which was supposed to be the gun control crowd’s 9-11.

I had no idea there WAS “court law.”
Learn something new every day.
Here’s the best (okay, worst) part: The demwit in question released an “explanation” (you know the deal, Reps issue retractions or resignations, Dems issue “explanations”) claiming she was making a serious point that her colleagues should be afraid of “creating a more violent society” (how protecting the right to self-defense in your own home would do that is beyond me… and her) since she is “personally acquainted with the tragic results of violence” as her brother was shot. In fact, she was so super serious that she had to giggle after making her idiotic comment.
Oh, but it gets even better: You see, her brother wasn’t mugged on the street or gunned down in a drive-by. He was shot when a criminal broke into his house. Not only is this imbecile using reprehensible rhetoric in arguing against a bill that would have supported her victim brother’s right to blow his attacker away, she drags him out in defense of her indefensible blathering.
But she’s a black woman and a Democrat, so you know we can’t expect any better of her. That’s what every person who ever votes for her again will be declaring to the world. Sadly, there will likely be quite a few such people.
“Double standard is the nicest thing I can say about it.”
That pretty much sums it up for me.
Yup, that whole old “double-standard” thing.
Leftists certainly ought to qualify for disability for mental illness.
her brother was killed by an evil handgun. this gives Miss Davidson many victim points. vicitm points are very important to libs. had her brother successfully defended himself she would have not been a victim, a horribile thing a lib.
The whole point of civility was to fix conservatives in place so Progressives could continue beat the snot out of them. The call for civility came just as conservatives began defending themselves from false accusation stemming from the Giffords shooting.
Never let a progressive set your boundaries.
Another reason I’m very happy to say I am glad I live in Texas.
“Never let a progressive set your boundaries.”
Thanks for that, Dave. That should be on the letterhead and web page of every R in the House and Senate, and the RNC.
Apparently, Ms. Davidson thinks that being the victim of an unprovoked assault in one’s own home, makes you morally superior to someone who blows the asshole away who attacks you in your own home. Personally, I don’t.
Old Cav LT? It’s called “communitarianism”. Spot on, Up North! LOL
@Cortillaen
I take exception to one key phrase in your post. Her being a black woman, thus “not expecting better”, is ignorance on a scale that totally nullifies your entire position being worth consideration.
Ive seen plenty of black women and men at rallies who share the view that such statements as given by the congresswoman are retarded.
Why muddy such a good post with that racist drivel?
She can stand on the idiot pedestal on the merit of her own ignorance, race and gender notwithstanding. There’s no reason to push her off to jockey for the idiot circle yourself.
