We say it at least once a week around here, but this time, you’ve heard it all for real.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) has declared that his party, the Democratic Party, “sometimes slips into intolerance.”

Cleaver was speaking at an event for “centrist think tank” Third Way about Democrats turning on Democrats:

“The problem is, and we saw a little of it in the recent House race in Georgia, where our candidate was told, you know, ‘you didn’t pass the litmus test on certain things,’ and it’s absolutely crazy. We have to get to the point where we understand that Democrats will not get into the majority unless we have Blue Dogs. And our position needs to be, ‘we don’t care what color the dog as long as it’s our dog’ because, you know, we need friendly dogs. And the thing is, they’ve won before, they’ve won, and then what happens is then they get beat up by Democrats, you know, for voting on something their constituents would like them to support.

“I mean, it is absolutely crazy. Then, you know, the party of toleration, or tolerance, sometimes slips into intolerance and I think we can see that from time to time.”

But Cleaver missed a million examples of Democrats being intolerant not only of themselves but for anyone who thinks, or votes, differently. At least Dems are equal opportunity!

“My voting record is liberal,” Cleaver added. “It’s a weird kind of a deal. I mean, I get a 100 from every liberal group and in the last election I got a 100 from every rural organization. I think you can do it if you’re true and not – I would hate to the use the word fake, man, they’ve messed up that word.”

Um, no, that falls on your party, as well.
