Forget Bipartisanship, Comity or Civility - Schieffer Says Mindless Meanness Has Invaded the Public Commons
(CBS) That was not a State of the Union speech we heard the other night, but it had all the trappings - and when that Congressman hollered "You lie!" at the President, we did get a snapshot of the nation's state.
It was not a pretty picture.
The country is in an angry mood - people are frustrated, tempers are short, congressmen are being shouted down at town hall meetings (where constituents sometimes show up with guns), and at rallies like the one yesterday in Washington where people carried signs such as "Bury Health Care with Kennedy."

Damn right we’re angry and we ain’t taking this Communist crap lying down anymore.
I dare say that Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry said worse.
Can a meek people ever be free?
Who are the five people who watch Schieffer?
Shades of Bob Dornan! Wasn't he reprimanded and suspended from the floor of the House for three days or something -- in a gun control debate, some congresswoman ranted about going into the woods to shoot Bambi, and Dornan said something like, "Americans don't have the 2nd Amendment so they can go into the woods and shoot Bambi -- we have it to go to Washington and shoot Congressmen!"
I seem to recall too seeing old prints (maybe from the Andrew Jackson era? Other eras?) of Congressmen actually going after each other with walking sticks and fists . . . Oh, for the good ol' days! ;-)
Gee, Bobby-boy, for a moment there, I thought that maybe you had wiped the Man-Crush Fairy Dust from your eyes and was writing about the uselessness of you, Shuster, and all the other true teabaggers in the Tingly Media.
But that moment quickly passed. Sucks to be you.
True in the sense that News Whoredom is not doing anything to make this nation proud.
See-BS
Nuff said.
I dont ever recall the media saying such things when the left did far worse to Bush. Maybe they should start asking themselves what is the cause of all this outrage.
“It was not a pretty picture.”
So tell us Schieffer, how pretty was it when Obama lied?
>>Oh, for the good ol’ days! ;-) <<
*snicker*
Excellent point well made.
Exactly.
Can you get more in bed with Bammy?
How come you never wrote about the libtard left organizational ugliness like this ???
Stuff it Schieffer

I thought Schieffer was dead.
