CBS News' Political Director: Obama Must 'Destroy' the Republican Party (new Face the Nation host)
Breitbart.com ^ | 1/19/13 | John Nolte

Reading the Left’s fevered desires over at Slate isn’t anything new.

Not even articles breathlessly titled and subtitled:

Go for the Throat! Why if he wants to transform American politics, Obama must declare war on the Republican Party.

Not even articles that read:

The president who came into office speaking in lofty terms about bipartisanship and cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys the GOP. If he wants to transform American politics, he must go for the throat. …

Obama’s only remaining option is to pulverize. Whether he succeeds in passing legislation or not, given his ambitions, his goal should be to delegitimize his opponents. Through a series of clarifying fights over controversial issues, he can force Republicans to either side with their coalition’s most extreme elements or cause a rift in the party that will leave it, at least temporarily, in disarray.

Slate is what it is and some bloodthirsty Slate writer orgasmic over the prospect of Obama permanently pulverizing and destroying the GOP is as noteworthy as green on grass.

Oh, except after someone like Brit Hume connects the dots.

The author of this outrageous left-wing fever dream is John Dickerson, whom Slate describes as “Slate’s chief political correspondent”. What Slate leaves out of its little bio, though, is that Dickerson is also the political director at CBS News.

Well, just like everything else it seems Obama has completely failed to “destroy the GOP”

We now have the house, the senate, most state houses, most governships, ect. Heck, all the way down to local school boards the GOP is winning everything.

Thanks Obama, for bringing us all together, to oppose you!

Obama’s continued attempts to delegitimize Fox News through his public statements is part of the plan.

Obama will do for the Right what he has done for gun sales.

The tyrannical always target their opposition for the blame when utopia is still not achieved. Eventually, the masses start to call for violence against those targets! A tyrant will gladly oblige.....

That is precisely why we have the 2nd!
