CBS Political Director Dickerson Doubles Down On Obama Destroying GOP (new Face the Nation host)
newsbusters.org ^ | 1/22/13 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 05/15/2015 3:07:58 AM PDT by cotton1706

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, CBS News political director John Dickerson advised the current White House resident to destroy the Republican Party.

On Tuesday, Dickerson doubled down in a Slate piece titled "They Hate Me, They Really Hate Me: Conservatives despise my analysis of Obama’s second-term options. But it was analysis—not advice."

"I was using a very specific definition of transformational presidencies based on my reading of a theory of political science and the president's own words about transformational presidencies from the 2008 campaign," Dickerson wrote. "It was also based on these givens: The president is ambitious, has picked politically controversial goals, has little time to operate before he is dubbed a lame-duck president, and has written off working with Republicans."

He then noted that Jodi Kantor in the New York Times had recently written about Obama becoming "Bloodier-minded when it comes to beating Republicans.”

"Given these facts," Dickerson observed, "there is only one logical conclusion for a president who wants to transform American politics: He must take on Republicans—aggressively."

This rhetoric preceded the civil war in 1936 Spain as well; divisiveness (along ethnic, economic lines), de-humanizing the opposition, actually outlawing an opposing political party...

“and has written off working with Republicans.”

Uh, er, Mr. Dickerson, please remind us all of exactly when it was that the President EVER worked with Republicans. He has been 1000% partisan and uncompromising since the day he took office, you jerk.

Joseph Goebbels would be proud of John Dickerson’s defense of the national-socialism policies of this administration. Sieg Heil comrad Dickerson! Warm up those ovens.

Bingo! Your comment and has taken the prize in this thread.

The problem that author Dickinson has created is not for Democrats or for Obama it is for the establishment of the GOP because this author has ripped the scab off exposing the tyrannical means and ends of Barack Obama.

The Republicans have abandoned their duty to their constituents, their oath to the Constitution, and their souls to enable the undermining of America.

Agreed. And that was also the same attitude taken by Lincoln when he arrived in Washington in March of 1861.

Sure; the South knew what was coming, and wouldn’t resign themselves to being politically dominated forever by a more populous North.

It is really hard to tell if Stephanopoulous or Dickenson is the bigger weasel. I’ve seen Dickenson a few times, and he is a smug liberal who doesn’t even try to appear objective. One thing is clear: he really (really) wants Bush to get the GOP nomination—which is another reason I don’t want Jeb. I predict that his tenure on “Face the Nation” will be just as disasterous as David Gregory’s was on “Meet the Press”.

WOW - another 'objective' journalist... And the suits in network 'news' wonder why the American public is turning away from them?

Here's a flash network boys - you're NOT trusted because you're not trustworthy....

Do you think they actually believe they’re undermining America or is it that they don’t want to be disliked by the press? Same end result, just different ways to get there.

I think the human capacity for rationalization in the service of power, status and greed is functionally infinite.

I think the founders thought the same way, too.
