WASHINGTON -- TV's Joe Scarborough, who today dismissed Sarah Palin as a symbol of "anti-intellectualism" with a "dopey dream" of being president, will help headline the launch next month of a new national group dedicated to restoring civility in politics.
<...>
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is also expected to take part, along with an array of other self-described centrists, including retiring Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), Sen. Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn.), former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn), Los Angeles's Democratic Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Sen. Deb Stabenow (D-Mich.), former Gov. Christie Todd Whitman (R-N.J.) and former Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.)

What can you even say about that lineup besides "where's Harold Ford"?

It gets even more ridiculous: The "No Labels" organization (I'm not sure whether to blame Naomi Klein or feel bad for her) was founded, of course, by longtime Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson -- the wife of pollster grifter Mark Penn -- and Bush and McCain media guru Mark McKinnon. The group -- which promises that its not a stalking-horse for a third party -- demands that everyone in politics just civilly solve problems from the "pragmatic cen

1. The center is an authoritarian fringe.

It is not the center.

2. Joe LIEberman????????????????

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

I find him the most detestable on that list, which would appear to be a collection of folks who, while peeing on your shoes, would tell you it is raining....and continue to argue about it if you object.

4. Can we all just get along?

It wouldn't be politics if there were civility but a tea party. Did I just say that?

6. The getting along they want.

is for the Democrats to follow the RepubliCON agenda..

7. Harold Ford is

getting rid of the evidence:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

8. Yes,Harold is always..

used to reinforce Scar's points when he and the rest of the panel look at everything the President does through the prism of race.

10. One more time. "Centrism" is a myth.

Untellable Truths
George Lakoff

...• Many people are "bi-conceptual," this is, they have both conservative and progressive moral systems and apply them in different issue areas. These are sometimes called "independents," "swing voters," moderates," "the center," etc. They are the crucial segment of the electorate to address. Each moral system is represented by a circuit in their brains. The more one circuit is activated and strengthened the more the other is weakened. Conservatives have moved them to the right by repeating conservative moral messages 24/7. The Democrats need to activate and strengthen the progressive moral circuitry in their brains. That means using only progressive language and progressive arguments, and not moving to the right or using the right's language. This is the opposite of "moving to the center." There is no ideology of the center, just combinations of progressive and conservative views.

• Don't use conservative language, since it will activate their moral system in the brains of listeners. Don't try to negate their arguments. That will only make their arguments more prominent. Use your own language and your own arguments. Truth squads and wonk rooms are insufficient...
