Reading the Left's fevered desires over at Slate isn't anything new.
Not even articles breathlessly titled and subtitled:
Not even articles that read:
The
president who came into office speaking in lofty terms about
bipartisanship and cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys
the GOP. If he wants to transform American politics, he must go for the
throat. ...
Obama’s
only remaining option is to pulverize. Whether he succeeds in passing
legislation or not, given his ambitions, his goal should be to
delegitimize his opponents. Through a series of clarifying fights over
controversial issues, he can force Republicans to either side with their
coalition's most extreme elements or cause a rift in the party that
will leave it, at least temporarily, in disarray.
Slate
is what it is and some bloodthirsty Slate writer orgasmic over the
prospect of Obama permanently pulverizing and destroying the GOP is as
noteworthy as green on grass.
Oh, except after someone like Brit Hume connects the dots.
The author of this outrageous left-wing fever dream is John Dickerson, whom Slate describes as "Slate's chief political correspondent". What Slate leaves out of its little bio, though, is that Dickerson is also the political director at CBS News.
Dickerson is merely being Dickerson, and there's no doubt he speaks for legions upon legions of those in the media today.
What
is worthy of note, though, is that a CBS News' political director is
now comfortable openly calling for the destruction of the Republican
Party. He obviously fears no admonitions from his colleagues or his
employer. And why should he? Earlier this week, Bob Schieffer, a CBS
News "living legend," was perfectly comfortable publicly comparing the NRA to Nazis.
You lump all of this with CNN chief Jeff Zucker applauding Piers
Morgan's shameless feasting off the dead children of Sandy Hook for
ratings and attention, and what you have is a media that's finally ...
"coming out."
And
yet, even as they do, even as they openly celebrate their left-wing
biases out of one side of their mouth, out the other, they will claim
they remain objective and unbiased.
The Big Lie has officially arrived.
And somewhere Dan Rather's thinking, "Oh, so now it's okay!?"
