Here’s the “new civility” in action

Capuano to unions: You have ‘get a little bloody”: MyFoxBOSTON.com

U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) rallied the crowd, calling the battle to save collective bargaining rights “a fight for the middle class.” “They’re not going to back down and we’re not going to back down,” said Capuano, a Democrat. During the event, Capuano also said “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

Why is this idiot working WI? Has he forgotten where he’s from – or is he just the typical lib, trying to tell the rest of us how to live and work?

  Mr. Capuano is not from WI. He’s a democrat from MA. His behavior shows that it’s easy to sit on the sidelines and cheer for things to get nasty when you personally have no “skin in the game”. To counter my own point, however, as WI goes so the rest of the country is likely to go. The progressive side of the isle knows that they’ve built their power base on a house of cards, but it’s all they’ve got and they’re not going to go down quietly. Truly sad.

This congressmen was voted in to office. He should not be up there telling a mob what to do. If people are hurt can we blame him?
