Civility? Dem Senate Candidate Labels Her Opponent a “Whore”
Apparently, Obama’s sanctimonious cry for civility last year was meant only for GOP conservatives. From Real Clear Politics:
Lee Whitnum, an author from Greenwich, is running to be the Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Connecticut, called U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT), one of her opponents, a “whore” for Israel during a debate last night.“I am dealing with whore here, who sells his soul to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee), who will say anything for the job,” she said, in regards to Murphy.
If this is the level of civility and reasoned argument we can expect among Democrats themselves, there’s little doubt that this fall’s general election campaign will be as vile and ugly and uncivil a barrage of spew as the Democrats can manage.
