CBS News Political Director’s Astonishing Advice: Obama ‘Must Go for the Throat,’ ‘Pulverize’ & ‘Declare War’ on the GOP

CBS News Director John Dickersons Astonishing Advice: Obama Must Go for the Throat, Pulverize & Declare War on Republican Party

President Barack Obama needs to “pulverize” and “destroy” his Republican opponents if he wants to leave any kind of legacy — according to CBS News’ political director.

“Go for the throat!” declares the title of John Dickerson’s latest column for Slate, posted Friday. Its subtitle: “Why if he wants to transform American politics, Obama must declare war on the Republican Party.”

In it, Dickerson — who was named CBS News political director in 2011 — says Obama, facing political gridlock and endless clashes with House Republicans, has the challenge of “how to be great when the environment stinks”:

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.

How should the president proceed then, if he wants to be bold? The Barack Obama of the first administration might have approached the task by finding some Republicans to deal with and then start agreeing to some of their demands in hope that he would win some of their votes. It’s the traditional approach. Perhaps he could add a good deal more schmoozing with lawmakers, too.

That’s the old way. He has abandoned that. He doesn’t think it will work and he doesn’t have the time. As Obama explained in his last press conference, he thinks the Republicans are dead set on opposing him. They cannot be unchained by schmoozing. Even if Obama were wrong about Republican intransigence, other constraints will limit the chance for cooperation. Republican lawmakers worried about primary challenges in 2014 are not going to be willing partners. He probably has at most 18 months before people start dropping the lame-duck label in close proximity to his name.

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.

Fox News’ Brit Hume took notice of the column Saturday morning, tweeting out the link and noting Dickerson’s affiliation with CBS.

    If there was any doubt that CBS provides a platform in its hierarchy for those who are on a mission to further the Marxist and Islamic appeasing agendas of Barack Obama … the Marxist and Islamic appeasing agendas of Brack Obama that are destroying America from within … the following commentary eliminates all doubt.

    Go for the Throat!

      Thank god, can the rest of the GOP please wake up and realize what kind of fight we are in.

      Your enemy sets the tone of the conflict.

      So what kind of compromise would a sane person have with someone who wants to Go For Your Throat, Pulverize, and Declare War On You?

      No wonder the Anti Federalists distrust the Progressives.

      It has dawned on me that the Republican versus Democratic battle is much the same as the Israeli versus Muslim battle. The Democrats keep demanding that the Republicans give them everything while they do nothing in return. Over and over again. Bottom line, a party that acts like a Chamberlin is bounded to fail. Time for a change all right, would like to see a New Constitution Party with good people from both parties that believe the Constitution should be the basis of our laws.

      Obama already has American makers by the throat, and he is squeezing so that takers will receive more and more and more. He is pulverizing freedom by declaring war on the consitution and capitalism. Adding the GOP to the list is trivial.

      Not an advice column, but a reflection of Obama’s tactics.

      Do you know what astonishes me? The fact that the Republican party continues to “double down” on their appeal to their shrinking base while at the same time managing to put off or actually offend the rest of Americans. A psychologist would probably call that “self defeating behavior” if the Republican goal is to win future elections.

      The biggest minority in America is women, although that’s a misnomer because they are actually the majority of voters in the US. They voted in large, disproportionate numbers for Obama in the last election. Are Republicans, post election, appealing to this group? Heck no. States in particular are still trying to regulate by law women’s bodies. Are Republicans, following their defeats in the election modifying their stated policies to attract minorities? Heck no!

      And of course there is the NRA management and gun industry (who no longer represent the NRA membership) has managed to offend most Americans by putting their gun sights on the President’s children Sasha and Malia, and tried, for the first time in history, the put a President’s children dead dead center in a political discussion.

      What is it with Republicans? Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/19/accidental-shooting-gun-show/1847879/

      Seriously, why is it the Republican party is self-destructing?

      Your priorities are beyond interesting. You are worried about state governments not letting women do 100% of whatever they want in r/t abortion, and not about the federal government cracking down on everybody’s natural right of self defense from criminals? Abortion is overwhelmingly murder. History is full of the most vial and unnatural laws, but keep on feeling good about it if you want. Murder is murder is murder.

      It is better to die as a free human than to live as a sheep. I refuse to worship government programs that will continue to fail. There is a much better choice. Totally your call either way. Toodles.

      SO I guess when whosits takes his Oath of office to defend ALL the people in America, back OUR constitution he really means…everyone but the GOP.

      OBAMA hear this: You are already the biggest spending, most divisive President ever to hold this office. You have already had one term in which you NEVER stopped campaigning. You have already set the Civil Rights legislation back 50 years…the one thing YOU cannot control, dude, is the perception the American people now and in the future have of you. Your argument that it’s about color is baseless. 39% of whites voted for you and you aren’t even 100% Black. IT has NOTHING whatsoever to do with your color…it has EVERYTHING to do with your policies and your lack of real leadership; your communistic tendencies.
      The one thing that could come out of these 8 years is the understanding that RIGHT OR NOT, Correct or not, it appears that MANY BLACKS harbor horrid feelings about WHITES and have been torturing themselves about things I’m sure no white has any idea is harmful to them. Colin Powell’s claims of “code words’ etc. good grief!!! WHO KNEW??? ROMANS 8:28 All things work together for good for those who LOVE GOD. This too shall pass. The beauty of HISTORY is that while some may try to change/manipulate it…the TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT. OBAMA: You are writing your own legacy with every word you speak. Is this how you want to be remembered????

      I was watching Anderson Cooper at the gym the other day (someone else turned it on). They had a segment on why the NRA went too far with their add “targeting” Obama’s children. They had three people on a panel of guests and all three of them had the same damn opinion. Echo chamber much? These media clowns aren’t even trying to hide their bias anymore. As much as the left hates Fox news at least Fox puts guests from both sides on. That to me is the root of Republican woes, at least some of them. The media has decided to become propagandists rather than truth seekers. It’s tough to defend yourself when you’re not given a voice as my previous Anderson Cooper panel example illustrates.

      @Sendthemeterors,

      So this isn’t a question about if you’ve HAD an abortion, but HOW MANY abortions have you had? Speaking from personal experience, this is something you will regret down the line in your lifetime. And yes, you are a murderer: yes, I too, am a murderer. Be proud, huh? Keep speaking up for being a murderer of your own child (the child who felt this pain as he/she was being ripped apart–alive; the child who had it’s neck slit in your birth canal; the child who was born alive and left to die in a cold, dark closet–maybe that child who had a nurse hold it and rock it until it passed away–the nurse who quit her job because she realized exactly what’s happening). Yeah, it’s all good. Keep up your support and keep voting for free abortions. You’re just such a good person. Live with it. Explain this to God.

    Obama has been at war with the Republicans, the Tea Party, and conservatism for some time as he seeks to build his base and transform the nation into a communist Utopian society.

    The difference now is that he has nothing to hold him back, no longer fearing the need to be reelected by the masses and not bothering to hide his madness for all who will look and understand.

    Remember the magazine cover that declared “We are all socialist now…”

    Soon enough Obama and the others will openly declare and demand our official transformation into a socialist and communist state. God help us if we fail to stop their madness.

      Mr. Dickerson, an apparent Obot, hasn’t been paying attention. The miserable slug-in-chief declared war on constitution loving Americans a long time ago. Case in point, in October of 2010 he referred to his opponents as “enemies. I never heard of a president of all the people calling half the nation “enemies”. On Mat 9,2010 he called tea party patriots “teabaggers”, a filthy vile slur with a disgusting sexual connotation, re: the urban dictionary, but not on a full stomach. He is beneath contempt and the epitome of repulsive.

He could have been and should have been stopped but because so many millions just had to prove a point rather then try to get our country back we all have to pay the terrible price of what is ahead – watching our freedoms and beautiful God given country dissolve right before our very eyes. My heart breaks for our children and grandchildren – they will never know or experience what many of us have in the past in this great country because that is all changing. barry will probably have his full transformation completed within the first year of his second term as he is going full speed ahead now.

      How’s about giving us ONE example that you know what Communism is, how about that?

      P.S. Obama’s a MARXIST.

      Obama has four years left to ruin this country. He is on the Alynski road to accomplish this act and the American public doesn’t understand what is going on today! Under the Freedom of Information Act,Obama’s past record has come to light! If I did one percent of what Obama has done,I would be in prison on ten consecutive life terms. He is taking away guns,religion, and freedoms at such a fast rate that the American public hasn’t had a chance to understand his moves.Obama is the most dangerous human being to ever be in office in the history of this country. Under Obama our children have NO future! None,zip,zero, nada! Wake up America! In four years you are going to wake -up and say what the hell happened. No jobs,no money,no freedom ! He will have this country exactly where he wants it. You will not be able to go anywhere except the federal government to get anything. This is written in stone. It is very sad we have lost our country and freedoms because of this complete hoax and clown ,Obama!

    The Congress has become an adversarial system, where each side fights to win. What if the wrong side wins, as did the Senate, in pushing through Obamacare without even reading it?
    Now the Democrats are the socialist communists, while the Republicans are true Americans, with the help of the Tea Party. If the Tea Party can replace much of the Congress with American patriots, we might still have a chance to save our nation from the Muslim in the Oval Office.

    Everyone on this thread already knows that the network news organizations are adjunct to the elite tax exempt foundations who work for international bankers who make profit on our national debt created by entitlements and wars.
    So, for their CEO to come out in support of a Marxist philosopher who was made President with their help, no one should be surprised when they admit their prejudices against the peoples representatives in Congress and their support of Dictatorship through executive orders..

    Dickerson, the reason Obama doesn’t schmooze is because he believes all, like you, should simply stand in awe of his brilliance, and simply agree with his vision directives. Like you. I wonder if you really grasp what his vision, and what that looks like?

They will hail and praise him, help him in every way they can to further his agenda, and when they become inconvenient he will eliminate them. They will all look at each other and say, “What just happened?” but by then it will be too late for them. Hence the term “useful idiots”.

      Transform American Politics = destroy current capitalist system to usher in new communist system

The Republican Elite and the Advisers and the little RAT Karl Rove said NO. I was e-mailing Romney almost daily asking him What the heck are you doing? The Chicago Marxist Communist machine is as evil and power hungry as satan himself. Now that they know how to steal and fix elections we are really in trouble.

    yep, abandon the traditional way of finding things in common with your foes, negotiating, and if need be, compromising. Instead, do everything you can to destroy the system, to make the presidency imperial, and not out maneuver your opposition but destroy it. The only problem with the advice is that I think it’s given too late. Obama has been on that track for most, if not all of his presidency.

      Guess if you want to start a revolution ( the Chicago radicals use the code words “change ” and ” transform ” ) you have to start with fiery , angry, divisive words. Obama is very skilled at that. Learned it in his Community Agitating classes and his Rules For Radicals training.

      Or increase your personal allowances to decrease your tax withholdings so you owe them money instead of receiving a refund. You have to pay 90% of your tax bill before the end of the year or you could be penalized. It would be nice if everyone was paid as a private contractor and could conveniently forget to pay their first and second estimated tax payments. It would be so satisfying to cut them off at the knees fincancially.
