Appalled Schieffer Blasts ‘Vulgar’ and ‘Rude’ Brewer: ‘We’re a Better People Than This’

By Brent Baker | January 26, 2012 | 21:26

A question we’ve never posed and likely no one outside of CBS News has ever considered: “We wondered what Bob Schieffer thinks of all of this?” Yet that’s how CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley on Thursday night cued up Schieffer to take up CBS air time to convey his personal disgust with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for supposedly failing to show the proper respect to President Barack Obama on the tarmac near Phoenix.

“This is just another sign of the growing incivility and really vulgarity of our modern American politics,” Schieffer declared, fretting “these campaigns have gotten so ugly and so nasty, that they’re now tarnishing the whole system.” He despaired it demonstrates “the coarseness of our culture in this age of social media.” Then he got personal in condemning Brewer as an historic embarrassment to the nation:

CBSEN-PelleySchieffer-2012-01-26-240.jpgI can never recall a President stepping off Air Force One, which is itself a symbol of the presidency in American democracy, and being subjected to such public rudeness. I think really we’re a better people than this little incident illustrates.

[UPDATE: Schieffer’s hometown newspaper, the Washington Post, which is hardly anti-Obama, didn’t follow Schieffer’s lead and instead held the President the most accountable. “Heated exchange shows Obama’s testy side,” read the headline in the Friday, January 27 newspaper, above the subhead: “Critics say he’s unwilling to be second-guessed — or to see other points of view.”]

From the Thursday, January 26 CBS Evening News, the only broadcast network evening newscast to lead with Brewer (though ABC and NBC had full stories):

SCOTT PELLEY: We wondered what Bob Schieffer thinks of all of this? He’s our chief Washington correspondent and anchor of Face the Nation in Florida tonight. Bob, it seems like it’s not a Democratic or Republican issue but a question of how the office of the President is treated.

BOB SCHIEFFER, IN MIAMI (“WATSON ISLAND FL” ON SCREEN): Well, I think that’s right, Scott. I mean, this is just another sign of the growing incivility and really vulgarity of our modern American politics in campaigns. These campaigns have gotten so ugly and so nasty, that they’re now tarnishing the whole system. I think it also underlines, also, the coarseness of our culture in this age of social media, when it is so easy to say anything about anybody, and get no penalty for saying it.

But the thing that has always made our system so strong, Scott, is that whatever we have thought of the officeholder, we have held the offices themselves in high respect. We have respected the office. I’ve watched a lot of Presidents over the years, but I can never recall a President stepping off Air Force One, which is itself a symbol of the presidency in American democracy, and being subjected to such public rudeness. I think really we’re a better people than this little incident illustrates.

The way Obama disrespected

The way Obama disrespected Brewer was outrageous. She was strong enough to stand up for herself in the face of his bullying, and for that I am grateful. She gives me hope.

And where was their outrage when then-Senator-elect pretty much told President Bush that he had no right to ask about the welfare of Webb's son, and then told others he was "tempted to slug" the president?
IIRC, Webb was a bit of a folk hero to liberals for that.

As a Virginian, I am delighted in the knowledge that Webb is not running for re-election to the US Senate. He was a rather inconsequential junior Senator who's votes for the Stimulus bill and Obamacare did little more than pile more debt on the backs of our children and their children.

Once highly regarded as a Marine combat veteran and holder of the Navy Cross, he's now just another useless Democratic politician.

Obama's intent to remake American politics got a jolt of reality yesterday when thousands of his supporters booed and mocked George Bush as he stepped on to the platform:

The crowd packed on the west side of the Capitol grounds serenaded President Bush in mocking fashion when he took to the inaugural stage alongside Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye," a section of the crowd chanted.

The crowd packed immediately below the podium received Bush in stony silence when he took his seat on the stage surrounding the podium where Barack Obama was scheduled to take the oath office to become the 44th president of the United States.

Get real, Libutard media. No one is fooled by your lies and your feigned shock anymore. You let your masks fall away in 08 when you said it was 'your job' to make Obama look good and to lie for him.

If you ####ards in the media were HALF as righteous as you're pretending to be, you would have refused to interview anyone who made fun of/insulted/mocked/denigrated Bush, and you would have smacked down anyone who did.

But what did the people get from you instead? Books on how to assassinate Bush. Propaganda movies. A never-ending parade of crude skits. You idiots did nothing but denigrate and mock the office of the Presidency when there was someone occupying the office that you didn't like.

You media morons groomed and trained the public to hate the Presidency, to insult it, to mock the office. You sneered, you smirked, you laughed, you ridiculed and you encouraged everyone who watched your sad excuses for programming to do so.

Well - you reap what you sow, libutard media. Now the monster YOU created has come back and it is tearing off the hands you used to feed it for so many years. And now you want to sit in your chairs with your eyes popping and your jaws hanging open and splutter such things as 'how could this have possibly happened'? You're pathetic.

Words Have Meanings, in Books and at Airports

Words Have Meanings, in Books and at Airports

Remember when your mother told you, “Words have meanings! Be careful of what you say because what you say can hurt people. What you say and how you say it tells others the type of person you are and what they will think of you.”

No? Well, I can’t remember my mom saying anything like that either. She was always too busy warning me not to play in the street and telling me to go wash my face.

But both spoken and written words can have powerful meanings and can be reflective of both the character of the speaker and the speaker’s estimation of the character of the addressee.

President Barack Hussein is very adept at using words, words and cliches fed to him by his handlers and dictated by his teleprompters, meaningless vocabulary like “hope,” and “change,” and “yes, we can.” He’s not so adept at dealing with those who disagree with him.

The notoriously thin-skinned Obama who early on in his run for the presidency expressed sensitivity over the obsession with his Dumbo ears and ruled out any political exploitatation of his daughters and then consistently exploited Malia and Sasha, met face-to-face Wednesday with Arizona governor Jan Brewer who seemed to mince no words with the president.

Brewer didn’t mention Dumbo but they did engage in a heated exchange on the Phoenix-Gateway Airport tarmac. Obama’s MSM and the leftist blogosphere have latched onto the photo of Brewer wagging her finger at the president of the United States as clear evidence conservatives have no respect for the presidency and as emblematic of conservatives’ disrespect for the country.

Based on a picture, the ever-objective, HufPo’s Michael Shaw described Brewer as “a reactionary governor, overflowing with the same lack of respect for the President as the radical far-right she’s aligned with” and called it an “ambush” despite raw video showing Brewer greeted him warmly with a big smile and handshake.

Although she had to publicly say Obama “loves his country,” the polite and dignified Gov. Brewer may have no respect for him at all but she is concerned over the integrity of America’s borders and has the deepest regard for our country, a concern and patriotic feeling the president has yet to demonstrate.

Full details of that brief airport contretemps and the contents of the letter the governor handed to Obama haven’t been released, and may never be.

However, it is known that the governor and the president weren’t happy with one another. He didn’t like her criticism of him in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, she wasn’t pleased with his rudeness and walking away before she was done speaking.

(As an aside, sales of Scorpions for Breakfast skyrocketed after the finger-wagging picture hit the blogosphere.)

According to Politico.com, a disingenuous committed Obamian supporter, Brewer said, “He brought up my book. And he was a little tense. I asked him if he read [it] . . . and he said he read the excerpt and he didn’t think that I was very cordial. He was somewhat thin-skinned and a little tense to say the least. I was trying to be very calm.”

It seems our president is developing a petulant pattern over pesky, un-cordial words. . .

Each state is its own country.  Much like it was for Europe before they became the European Union, England, Finland, Denmark, and the others, are all individual countries just like Texas, New Mexico, California, and so on.

The only difference between the EU and the US is the US Constitution which is what joins each of these states/countries into one entity that works with each other.....at least it used to.  The failure of the EU is the socialist(read lack of Freedom and Liberty) policies of which they live by, and that's what's rapidly causing problems with this Union of the States of America, these socialist policies DC has been foisting down our throats by the bogus potus and the Lib Dems.

Obysmal's treatment of Brewer shows a complete lack of respect to her and the needs of the state of which it's part of that Union called the United States of America.  Instead, as we have seen in the last 3 years, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, and I think more recently New Mexico(need to check at a later time) and others with Republican governors has become the enemies of that bogus potus who is currently dictating over the United States of America.

I don't know if she showed

Submitted by buddyc on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 7:05pm.

I don't know if she showed him disrespect or he showed her disrespect. There is NO recording of what was said. That is why Schieffer is such a douche bag. He doesn't know either. Maybe Obama said to her "Hey Michelle's in the mood want to do threesome"? NO ONE KNOWS how can you judge. But she deserves as much respect as he does.

Calling a woman vulgar is a high insult.

Submitted by SickofLibs on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 9:22am.

Not to mention a sitting governor. Especially when you have no idea what was said.

This talking cadaver is certainly old enough to know that.

Who would honestly wonder what Bob Schieffer was thinking?? That's really funny as the answer is...honestly, no one!

Obama did the same thing to Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry. Jan Brewer had the guts to tell him to go to hell. You geaux girl!

Great point. Nobody in the msm started wailing back then about disrespecting the office, particularly by a non-citizen.

B.O., and some others in D.C., need to remember that it was the states that created the federal government, not the other way around.

Obama has done nothing to deserve respect.

Schieffer should retire now before any of the respect he has earned throughout the years is lost.

Scheiffer is a boob

Submitted by LucidThought on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 12:32pm.

Bob's just another party operative... What did he expect Brewer to do? Remain obsequious to the Great Leader while he took HER to task? I respect the office of the presidency, but I don't respect the man who holds it, not even a little, nor do I respect those members of the media who have their noses jammed so far up Obama's a** that they know what he ate for breakfast.

Submitted by Cho Yi Fan on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 1:35pm.

Who cares what this arrogant hackneyed hack has to say? Everything that comes out of his
mouth is Obama talking points. Brewer is a courageous woman who is trying to uphold the law.
Bob only cares about upholding Obama.
