CBS News' Political Director: Obama Must 'Destroy' Republican Party

Reading the Left's fevered desires over at Slate isn't anything new.

Not even articles breathlessly titled and subtitled:

Go for the Throat! Why if he wants to transform American politics, Obama must declare war on the Republican Party.

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.

This has already been accomplished, the sooner we establish a new party and quit living in a fantasy world the better.

0bama wants to destroy America and rebuild it into his own image.

I say let them destroy the left wing republican party. Then we (conservatives) can rebuild it.

And once again even the Conservative media outlets are behind the Power curve on this.

Rush picked up on this right after the election during the "debate" over the fiscal cliff and Obama's unwillingness to negotiate and the fact that every time Boehner gave him what he wanted...44 asked for more.

His next step in destroying the GOP as we know it will be this stuff with the debt ceiling.

He could only destroy the GOP with help from the MSM, which he is getting. I have given up hoping this f#$k up gets called on his many blunders. We will be lucky to hold onto the house in 14.

Obama’s confrontational approach is aimed at making congressional Republicans irrelevant. Their only remaining power is to choose some ground to stand on and refuse to surrender again in a real crisis, not one Obama has created. If they choose to refuse a debt ceiling hike without real spending cuts, the government may be shut down for days or even weeks. But they can only force Obama to compromise if they stand firm. If they don’t, they will be irrelevant for the next four years. And deservedly so.

The current crop of establishment republican congress critters doesn't need any help from Bronco to destroy the Republican Party. They're doing a bang up job all by themselves.

Yup. You can believe your 'lying' eyes or the inside the beltway pundits. The only thing that detests conservatism more than the GOP is the Media and the Democrat party.

This party has been in retreat for 4 years now and shows no signs of reversing.

It's embarrassing to see how frequently the media...the supposed "gatekeepers of truth" in D.C. break out their knee pads to Monica this administration.

They know the low information voters will buy this crap...smile and come back for more.

Times like this I weep for my profession.

That's the reason why Jim DeMint quit, and to be honest with you, I can't see much reason to continue participating in a system where the odds are increasingly stacked against traditional American values in favor of socialism/communism.

And members of your own party are doing all they can to cut the legs out from under what you stand for.
