Bob Schieffer Likens Obama 'Taking on the Gun Lobby' to Hunt for Bin Laden
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 01/16/2013 11:40:16 AM PST by chessplayer

Bob Schieffer somehow topped Chris Matthews during CBS News's special coverage of President Obama's gun control press conference on Wednesday, as he became the worst caricature of a foaming-at-the-mouth cheerleader for the chief executive. Schieffer lauded "one of the best speeches I've ever heard him [Obama] deliver", and compared Obama's new gun control agenda to Lyndon Johnson's push for civil rights legislation in the 1960s.

The CBS veteran even went so far to liken the President's cause to the ten-year hunt for 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and the difficult endeavor of winning World War II [audio available here; video below the jump]:

Wow. I’m finally convinced. Bob Schieffer is a good, well-meaning, broad-minded man. He is NOT a racist like the average American! Here’s to you, Bob, you horse’s ass!

The phrase ‘gun lobby’ apparently provides them with some sort of false comfort.

What they seem afraid to admit is that the ‘gun lobby’ is hundreds of millions of pesky citizens.

Bob, please keep going there. You replaced Rather, but your replacemnet won’t be too far behind.
Attacking the NRA is not going after Criminals or even Gun manfacturers.
