Bob Schieffer Blames Internet For Americans Believing Obama Is Muslim
Washington Post ^ | 8/22/10 | Michelle Boorstein

Posted on 08/22/2010 7:28:54 PM PDT by Nachum

Bob Schieffer on Sunday blamed the internet for the growing number of Americans that think Barack Obama is a Muslim.Namelessly referring to last week's Pew Research Center poll finding that eighteen percent now believe this, the "Face the Nation" host concluded Sunday's program saying that "in the internet age, ignorance travels as rapidly as great ideas." He continued, "Now, not only great minds can find one another and compare notes, so too can the nuts and the perverts and those who are simply looking to validate their prejudices."

The elite left thinks Americans are too dumb to be trusted with guns, computers, free speech and the right to practice their religion. All of these freedoms are or soon will be under attack if Obama isn’t stopped by a congress with ‘nards.

So what’s the deal? Is Bob Schieffer NBC’s old-coot version of Keith Olbermman, you know, what KO will be like 40 years from now? Or is Bob Schieffer simply an ordinary garden variety old fool? Either way, NBC needs to put ol’ Bob out to pasture before he starts drooling into his applesauce on air.

Wait! On second thought, NBC should leave ol’ Bob propped up in his rocking chair until he looks like Norman Bates’ Mummy dearest. That way, an entire hour of valuable NBC network broadcast time is reduced to the excitement of an off-air test pattern, and the number of viewers can dwindle to single-digit levels as they flee to the Paint Drying Channel for a bit of stimulation.

I heard the end of that on the radio. All you can do is laugh. Poor ole Bob, taking one for the home team.

The lesson we morons were to take from it is that the internet is not safe because, unlike any prior communication device, the internet doesn’t have an editor to clean things up for us. Like those great editors at NYT/WaPo/CBS/ABC/NBC, etc. etc. Hilarious.

Do you remember the total hissy fit the left had when W greeted the Saudi King at Crawford, and grabbed his hand to help him down the walkway? The man (King) is as blind as NY Gov Paterson. Anyone with an ounce of decency would give him a hand. But not bow to him.

I’m smarter, more thoughtful, better educated, and better organized, etc than he is. So frankly he can kiss my ass.

But he is half right. The internet has taken his power to control the message away. So - the left has lost control of the message.

And - who cares what Bob has to say anyway? That is his real beef. We have left the reservation.

""Now, not only great minds can find one another and compare notes,"

Such as here at Freerepublic....

" so too can the nuts and the perverts and those who are simply looking to validate their prejudices."

such as those found at DailyKos and DU....

Actually I can see Bob’s point - before the internet chuckle-heads like him shaped, twisted, bent and suppressed the facts until the stories matched whatever they decided their version of the “truth” was. The internet has allowed us unfettered access to all of the facts and statements like “My Muslim faith” no longer can be easily flushed down the memory hole.
