It is easily observable that Robert Gibbs is one of the most arrogant Mr. Nastys to ever become White House press secretary. His penchant for self-superiority is only sometimes outstripped by his sheer lack of sincerity or outright dishonesty--however you wish to categorize it...

Like when he complains that Mr. Obama is the first President to ever be compared to Hitler. (A tactic the left practiced against President Bush with ferocity starting the say Al Gore seceded in 2000.)

Watch the lie...

What is the point? Are we to stop the insane rhetoric NOW that we have a Democrat in office.
I agree that some of the rhetoric is over the top, but miniscule in comparison to what came from the left the previous eight years. It just gets more coverage from the MSM. Deny it all you want, but it's true.
The Hitler comparison is wrong reagardless where it comes from. It belittles the atrocities committed by arguably one of the most evil man to walk the Earth.
But the truth is, Nazi comparisons have been flung from the left at Republican/Conservative leaders for a much longer time and with greater ferocity. And I never heard Democrat leaders dismissing them. I certainly have heard a lot more Republican leaders and...

Conservatives talk a lot about "personal responsibility" and "personal accountability" but what do those phrases mean? What does it mean to be responsible for your own actions?

Well, one thing it means is that when someone catches you doing something inappropriate, like comparing someone to Hitler because they disagree with you, you don't come back and say "WAAAAAAH! THEY STARTED IT!"

OWN UP to what YOU did. It doesn't matter what people said about Bush. As conservatives love to remind us, Bush is not the president anymore. If it's not fair game to criticize the former president right now, why would it be OK to criticize the former president's critics? Whatever the Bush haters said or did, it doesn't excuse the Tea Party...

There's a quote in the most recent issue of Christianity Today "It is my prayer that those who disagree on how to fix the health-care system can do so without unfairly characterizing each other's Christian virtue."

Obviously it's not aimed at gross exaggerations (like claiming that a healthcare proposal is the greatest threat to freedom one has ever seen), but it's along the same lines.

And Kevin eloquently provides an example. Rather than discuss the issue at hand, Kevin picks one comment and uses it to insult the person, in this case Robert Gibbs.

Call someone a commie, Hitler, Marxist, space cadet, whatever... It's gotten to the extent that the actual issues aren't even being discussed anymore.

Self deprecating humor is a sure sign of a healthy ego.

Maybe Kevin and his Neo-Con buddies could take notes and learn something.
