Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, chairwoman of the DNC, took the anniversary of the Tucson shootings as an opportunity to revive the calumny that conservative rhetoric was somehow responsible for the crime. That is contemptible in its own right, but it also takes an astonishing amount of chutzpah, given this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, or this. Over the last year, the left has shown how truly un-“civil” it is.
But then Wasserman-Schultz exposed her rigged standards in a surprisingly obvious way, telling RNC chair Reince Priebus that his remark — taking her to task for her own contemptible remarks — is the sort of incivility she was talking about. So accusing people of responsibility for murder is civil, but criticizing her for it is uncivil (and, by extension, somehow contributes to murder). What a disgrace.
