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.

Liberals live in their own little bizarre world. I watched Rush’s entire speech and, while I’m sure liberals (like those who watch CNN) didn’t like it, no objective assessment could conclude that his tone was angry or harsh. The problem is, liberals mistake conservative passion for anger, but they have no problem with liberal passion, which in most cases actually is anger!

They did everything BUT quote Rush.

Who the hell is Schneider ...Schnieder...? Schnoozle head ?

When you watch CNN broadcast a Speech like this, with this type CNN followup . . .you relate to one and not the other, and you start turning the TV channel.
And guess what ? You don’t come back for more CNN baloney.

Ok so let me get this straight, it's ok for obama to stand up and say I won, it's ok for obama to say typical white person, it's ok for michelle to say for the first time in her adult life she's proud to be an american, it's ok for schumer to say the american people don't care, it's ok for holder to call us cowards, it's ok to call bush a chimp and every other name in the book including hitler, etc etc etc etc etc but it's not ok for a conservative to say anything without it being perceived as angry, mocking, bullying, harsh and full of contempt? Hmmmm, interesting, very interesting indeed...talk about a double standard.

I need to leave the thread, blood pressure rising.....

Is Twitter now the method of measuring events and people? Is this how far down CNN has fallen in terms of “journalism”?

For about six months, I’ve observed this Twitter generation, and basically...its the most worthless comments or analysis that you could ever develop. Its always immediate with no time spent thinking over the event or the speech....automatic words, automatic comments, automatic views, automatic text...which means that you never sat and analyzed anything.

Whats amusing here is that seventy years ago...after an event...a journalist typically walked to a bar across the street from the paper or radio station...sipped a drink or two with people and talked over the event, and got the “real prospective” of the event. Then they walked in and typed the product. Between the drink, the time to think, and the bar associates...he got the best product. Now? Twitter is producing loser journalists.

The true measure of how successful the speech really was.

Rush even said in his speech that he knows how to tweak liberals! Bill Schneider just proved Rush's point, but he's probably too stupid to realize it!

Well, if the scumbag liberals hated it, then it must have been a good speech. We must not concern ourselves with pleasing our enemies on the left.

So basically Rush pissed off the very same people he’s been pissing off for years.

You beat me to it. Whenever those people don’t like something it means it was right on.

Schneider is obviously suffering from a very bad case of RDS!

Absolutely. It was a terrific speech! I wish he'd stayed up there talking for another couple of hours!

“CNN also couldn't find a single Twitter comment favorable towards Rush.”
I'm shocked. CNN couldn't find any good things to say about a conservative, and they haven't been able to find any negative things to say about the COMMIES in charge of the federal government. Both viewers were unavailable for comment.

"....Democrats and people who aren't particularly partisan..."

Note that this is the coalition that elected Obie-the-wan: Stiff-left partisans and dolts who just want everyone to get along. It constitutes a majority of the electorate.

Did Bill just read those straight off the DNC website or did he edit them for effect. What a joke the Stone-age press corpse has become.

Message from Dems who invented 'contemptible politics' to those Dems who may have found themselves resonating a bit with Rush: 'SNAP OUT OF IT'! Let us tell you; just what was going down here. . .

Bill; like all the 'rats'; knows, up close and personal; his perjorative adjectives. . .
