Journalist. Rope. Street lamp. Some assembly required.

It’s Scott Pelley’s fault I said that.

“I am simply blown away at how cowardly Republicans are and how obedient they always are to their Democrat masters.”

From 2000 to 2008 George W. Bush was attacked daily by the media and the Democrats in Congress. He did nothing to answer or counter these attacks and as a result lost Congress to the Dems in 2006.

In 2010 the Tea Party, a spontaneous and organic uprising by average citizens against the liberal Democrat agenda in Congress and the White House, delivered the House of Representatives to the GOP. Once elected the GOP turned a cold shoulder to the Tea Party and in the 2012 elections ignored those voters. As a result the GOP lost the presidential election. Candidate Romney refused to enlist the Tea Party, preferring to run as a moderate.

From the time they captured the House in 2010, the GOP was complicit in funding the Obama agenda even though they controlled the power of the purse. They would no defund Obamacare. They approved billions of dollars in deficit spending fully funding Planned Parenthood and other leftist groups who recycled money back into Democrat party coffers.

In 2014 the GOP captured the Senate, in addition to the House, and immediately turned its back on the conservative base, collaborating with Democrats in Congress.

The GOP House and Senate totally ignored the opportunity with a GOP president to fundamentally turn back the leftist agenda and enact a conservative agenda. Instead the leadership has chosen to slow walk the president’s appointments and stall the passage of his agenda. They remain silent on the vicious attacks of the Democrats and they are collaborating on the false Russian collaboration meme.

The Republicans are collaborators with evil, like the Vichy French.

Years ago, Pelley was on the local Dallas station, I think the ABC affiliate. We were glad to see him go.

Does this mean when he gets shot now; it will be partly of his own doing?

Scott Pelley’s comment is disgusting.

Why does he have a job in broadcasting?

Wonder what kind of response one would get, if the news director at your local CBS affiliate were ask about Scalise and Pelley.

I am afraid the think the whole organization is rotten.

"It's time to ask whether the attack on the United States Congress Wednesday was foreseeable, predictable and, to some degree, self-inflicted."

If it were so foreseeable and predictable then why weren't the Congressmen loaded for bear? I call bee-ess on this.

“Accordingly, a thug who breaks into a home to rob it and kills the home owner in the process, it’s the home owner’s fault he got murdered because he was home at the wrong time?”

...or a woman is raped because the clothes she wore offended some ‘new arrival’ in Europe. I guess.
