CNN's Bill Schneider: Limbaugh Speech Was 'Angry, Mocking, Bullying, Harsh, and Full of Contempt'
NewsBusters ^ | March 1, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

It appears that Rush Limbaugh's speech yesterday to the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) was just too much for CNN's political analyst, Bill Schneider, to handle. Schneider just couldn't contain his inner liberal as you can hear in the amazing invective hurled Limbaugh's way in this video as he was interviewed by Randi Kaye about the speech. Here is the transcript of Schneider in all his extremely biased glory:

RANDI KAYE, CNN HOST: Senior political analyst, Bill Schneider, watched it from Los Angeles. He's part of the best political team on television and he joins me now by phone. Bill, what do you make of Rush Limbaugh's tone during that keynote address?

BILL SCHNEIDER: Well, it was an angry tone. He was the hero of 1994. Fifteen years ago when Republicans won a big victory in Congress. And that was the year of the angry white men. When they came to power they honored him as being the prophet who led them to victory. Well, this was a very angry speech. By the way, they're not all white and they're not all men but they are angry conservative voters. They didn't do so well last year but they're still angry. The tone of this speech was mocking, bullying, it was full of contempt, and I thought it was a very harsh speech. One that while it rallied the conservative audience it also angered a lot of Democrats and people who aren't particularly partisan just by the tone of it.

3. Thou shalt have no god but the State.

If you had to boil it down, this is the nub of the left's approach. It's basically a regression back to the shaman and the divine right of kings.

It relies on the ignorance of the serfs, which is why education is in such a shambles - on purpose.

Obviously the Limbaugh Speech was just too much truth for Schneider to handle.

You are right! What you tapped into was the double standard, the one they live in and the one they hold for the rest of the world. Rush talked about that last night in his speech.

This is also why the left wants Rush off the air waves. He’s effective.

They either laugh at us or call us “hateful,” no matter what we do. Because they can’t effectively argue with conservatism they always, always rely on schoolyard name-calling. Schneider is a perfect example of this.

I saw the last half of Rush’s speech and he was inspiring, hilarious, warm and very clear and specific on the good values behind Conservatism and the reasons we mustn’t compromise or abandon it.

"Well, he did say he hopes Obama fails. Now that in my view crosses a line..."

Well, Schneidley, I also hope that Obambi fails. And if you got your head out of your backside, you'd want him to fail as well. Why? Because he's systematically destroying this once-free country with his socialist/marxist goals. If you, in your psuedo-intellectual liberal haze, are too dumb to see that, then there's no hope for you.

Hi,
I was changing channels when I came across this nut. I listened for a few minutes and that was all I could take. He was doing nothing but saying the dem talking points and frankly, I did not care to listen to that nonsense.

I read posts like this and all I say is, “Who gives a rats a$$ about Bill Schneider?” He has always been a nothing.

My mother can’t stand Limbaugh and even she thought it was a great speech.

Had your mother ever actually listened to Rush before yesterday? I believed Rush was "hateful" many years ago until I listened to him for the first time. I thought he was hateful/stupid/racist/dangerous because people like Schneider told me he was.

Obama told congress not to watch Limbaugh. I think Rush has a right to a few harsh words. Dims are such twerps.

I have a huge big screen tv and I hardly ever turn it on. I am tired of the shows that are on that do nothing for the morals of this once great country. I do watch the paranormal shows and find them fascinating. Other that that and some shows on the History channel are all I watch. Told my grandson that yesterday and he said “what a waste of a big tv”. Oh, forgot that I watch House sometimes. I have no idea what time or channel he comes on and if I am switching channels trying to find something worthwhile to watch and I come across his show, then I will watch it. I did not know who or what Schneider was when I saw him.

Appears that the oh-so "worthy" Bill Schneider got his precious feelings hurt.

Good... means he knows we're out there in fly-over country.

Don't go away hurt Bill... just go away.

Schneider’s comment is compelling evidence that Rush’s speech connected hard, and may have even drawn blood.

"I did not know who or what Schneider was when I saw him."

That is my point sweet MamaB.

Who cares what he says? It doesn't matter.
90% of journalists are left leaning liberals. We already know what they are going to say.

You really have to use that big screen TV more.

I play a game with these talking heads and news people. The game is called "Truth or BS". You get the idea. Try it, it's fun.

Have a pleasant day there in Huntsville.

I wonder what speech Schneider watched.... Angry? It certainly wasn't Rush's speech.

Except for the bullying part I think he's got it!

I understand Obama's worshipers cannot stand to hear their bronze god mocked, spoken to harshly or treated with contempt.

But for people who care about America it was a pleasure to hear someone speak truthfully about Obama's contemptible unconstitutional actions and plans to restructure America into a third-rate racist/socialist state where the producers are held in servitude to the slackers, welfare queens and whiners.

ANGRY? There is a lot to be angry about.

MOCKING? Obama's arrogance and inflated ego just invite it.

HARSH? Yes, there is no gentle way to combat Anti-Americanism.

FULL OF CONTEMPT? Obama's racism and socialist dreams for the destruction of America and the US Constitution invite contempt.

Is Twitter now the method of measuring events and people?

To quote Chris Stigall, KC radio morning show host on am-710, KCMO), "Real Men Don't 'Tweet!'"
