New Civility Only for Republicans, Apparently

A Sunday editorial chides Republicans for refusing to change the name of an anti-"job-killing" bill. But a Tuesday headline reads: "Where News Is Power, A Fight to Be Well-Armed."

"In deference to the new vows of civility, the tone of the debate may be a bit more restrained. But Republicans have already said that they will not strip the word 'killing' from the bill - which is titled, 'Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.' Civility apparently goes only so far." - Times editorial, January 16. [1]

"Republicans say they do not intend to change the name of the proposal, titled the Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act. Some Democrats have suggested that the 'job-killing' language was particularly offensive after the shootings, but Republicans rejected that notion." - Congressional reporter Carl Hulse, January 14. [2]

"Where News Is Power, A Fight to Be Well-Armed" - Headline from the January 18 print edition of the Times. [3]
