Default “Moderate Caucus” chair urges Cheney’s execution
I'll be waiting for Obama's new speech on civility, but I won't be holding my breath, because that ONLY happens after false accusations of the Right...When it's actual elected officials from the Left, we don't get those Obama speeches...

“Moderate Caucus” chair urges Cheney’s execution

Quote:
Rep. Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston), the Democrat chair of the Maine legislature’s Moderate Caucus, used his Twitter account to express his view that former Vice President Dick Cheney should be executed. This comment has led some to question the validity of Kruger’s moderate credentials.

Kruger made the statement through his Twitter account this past summer, saying, “Cheney deserves same final end he gave Saddam. Hope there are cell cams,” a reference to technology that would allow Kruger to watch the proposed execution of the former Vice President of the United States.

A tip alerted The Maine Wire to the extreme comment just days after Kruger led a meeting of the Moderate Caucus that featured a visit from Eliot Cutler, a former Democrat and failed candidate for Governor in the fall of 2010.

The keynote speaker, Cutler talked about finding middle ground to work from. “I think we’re going to see a shift that draws the two parties back to the middle,” Cutler said in a Bangor Daily News article. “I think we’re going to see the return to civility and to moderation,” Cutler said in another interview with public radio.

Kruger’s statement is being viewed as anything but civil.
Ya think?!?!?!...

Who is this? Let me get this right

"The Democrat chair of the Maine legislature’s Moderate Caucus"

You follow this group? Who ever even heard of this guy, his caucas or this state (OK, I've heard of the state) I now you expect that Obama should make a speech covering this guys utterences. Everything is Obama's fault. Your hate is a wonder to behold.

Funny...

Some district judge from Helena, Montana sends an inappropriate email joke about Obama and it makes the rounds on all of the mainstream media sites (The OP was from USAToday)...The New York Times even called for his resignation...

The OP actually said this...

Notice how the WHOLE PARTY was indicted because of ONE MONTANA judge sending an inappropriate email joke?...

Now in this instance, an actual elected Democrat official calls for the execution of a former vice president, and we get cries of "Nothing to see here!!!...Much ado about nothing!!!!...Where do you find this stupid stuff?!?!?!?"...

Where do you find it appropriate for the POTUS to answer every detail of every blogger, writer, line said outside protocol.
Damn you are frustrating sometimes in your pure unadulterated contempt. Why don't you rename the forum Obamanation posters and get it over with?

Why don't you actually show some consistency in your outrage?

He doesn't HAVE to...

But what I DO notice is that he ONLY talks about civility when the accusations of violent rhetoric comes from the OTHER side of the aisle and NOT his own...

I think he's "Moderately" crazy...

Although, I got a good belly laugh at reading the article and getting to the final line...
"Kruger’s statement is being viewed as anything but civil. "

"being viewed as" is kind of underselling it...
