Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed[W: 84]

Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

What a hack! If Obama sent Woodward a valentine card, you would deem it a threat.

Don't call me a hack!
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

I feel threatened by this posting. If you continue to threaten me in this manner, I will be forced to report you to Woodward. Then see just how much trouble you will find yourself in, mister!
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

I would certain not be saying that Bush was elected by "most Americans" as shrubnose contends about Obama.

I might add that you have inflated the numbers as did Texmex...though not by near as much as he did. Perhaps you should use a calculator instead of rose-colored guesstimates.

At least I didn't accuse Obama of 'scraping' out a victory as you did.

As far as Gore v. Bush, I would say Gore was elected by most Americans who bothered to vote - and certainly received more votes than Bush. Oh yeah, I'm sure you were complaining bitterly about the unfairness of all of that at the time.
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

Less than half is not most. Most, by definition, would have to be a sum greater than half of those voting.

Your claim is that Obama did not receive more than half of the votes cast for President? By what stretch of bizarre right wing mathematics do you arrive at that conclusion?

2012 General Election Presidential Results for all Candidates

What in the hell are you talking about?

shrug...I call less than 4% margin...scraping by...but you can call it whatever you want. The fact is, though, Obama knows he has to use every deceitful trick he can come up with...including threatening a respected journalist to get the people to go along with his bull****. He knows he can't say most Americans agree with him.
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

LOL!!! Talk about tap dancing...

Your first post quoted nobody. You were having a conversation with the thread...of which I've been a part. I simply addressed your post as is my right.

I'll tell you what...you go ahead with your hyper-partisan defense of that disgusting Obama by trying to dredge up any irrelevant information and innuendo if you want. It is YOUR right, after all.

Attention span is everything. You miss the flow of the conversation and jumped in as if no one had spoken before you. Your right wing friends brought those other two into this conversation, guess you missed that. :roll:

LMAO, not defending Obama or his administration. but am noting the 'threat' wasn't really there and at the time Woodard seems completely at ease with the exchange. His response sure was meek at the very least. Mr. Woodward has jumped the shark.

Now funny thing about the radical right and I called you on it.... you keep saying there is nothing to be learned from the BushII years when Bush's folks were very heavy handed on troublesome reporters, claiming the past is the past yet the radical right drags Hitler/appeasement/pre-war german gun control into our far more democratic system when it suits them.

If 4 years ago doesn't count then what about 60 years ago?

I don't recall Obama threatening a 'respected journalis'. When exactly did that happen?

And yes, according to most polls, most americans actually do agree with him. Not the lunatic Right, of course. But most americans.

Are you sure you understand what this thread is about? Perhaps you should go back and read the OP.

Oh, and while you are at it, you should check out Obama's approval ratings. They stink. They show that plenty of Democrats disagree with him, as well.

Oh, I'm sure...if you try real hard...you can find something useful to your purpose from 100...or even 200...years ago. shrug...

LOL!!!

Actually it seems to be the 'conservatives' who want to go back over 200 years ago to try and solve today's problems with 18th century philosophy... :roll:

It is the 'conservatives' who go back to to 'tween wars Germany in an attempt to convince us that could happen here. Love using appeasement and jack booted thugs. Have to bring Hitler into comparisons with President Obama...

Again my point on that is if YOU want to forget the very recent past and the Debacle that was BushII then it has to be time to drop the gun confiscation in 1930's Germany-

right?
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

The story is NOT the one created by the press of "threat." The story is a senior White House staff RAGING at a reporter stating he was going to publish the truth that it was the White House that created the sequester - which extensively the White House lied about until finally caught in the lie and admitting it.

Obamaniacs will try to divert to the "threat" creation to divert from the truth that the White House created the sequester - while trying to blame Republicans now for it.

What does any of that have to do with a White House attack dog being stupid enough to use e-mail to send a veiled threat to anyone? Let alone a reporter.

But the pattern of defense of anything Obama administration is notable here....I notice how progressives first look to anything they can find that would excuse the quote in question, and when that doesn't work well enough, well, then they go to personal attack of the person, in this case Woodward. It is Alinsky 101.

Now for the record, although I think there was a mild case of bully like behavior there, not unlike during the '08 campaign, when the Obama team threatened to kick certain reporters that they thought weren't giving good enough coverage to Obama off the press pool plane. In this case, Sperling (the bully in question) is never asked on all the Sunday talk shows yesterday what exactly he meant by the phrase "...you may regret staking out that claim..."

It pains me to say because I can't stand David Gregory, but he came closest, and Sperling dodged the question totally. But, the underlying point is that progressive/liberals, and this White House are bullies. And that goes all the way to the top.

Another BS lie! No one was threatened, you know it.
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

No, I don't know that...And if that were true, then why'd Woodward feel the need to bring it out in the way he did? Certainly Bob Woodward is not scared of these types of veiled threats, nor is he some newby cub reporter that interprets these things wrongly...:note: this is where you attack Woodward personally.
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

No, just trying to get you to agree if 4 years ago is 'the past' then the 1930's must be 'ancient' history for 'conservatives'.

It is an interesting quirk of 'conservatives' the past still fresh on our minds and the fallout still playing out is 'the past' but what happened in a chaotic European country in the 30's is on every 'conservative' tongue.

And while you seem quick to forget the entire 'fixation' as it suits you... let's not forget the constant 'conservative' drumbeat to try and use 18th century mindset to lead us into the 21st century.... :2wave:
 
Re: Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed

Anybody wondering why Lanny Davis is jumping in on this? He claims he was threatened but cannot reveal the source, even though he cannot reveal the source even though the source was revealed today. He had no answers for O'Reilly and we all know he supports Obama 99% of the time. He claims that Obama's senior aids threatened him the one time he did criticize them, so where's the proof Lanny? Woodward showed us, and now we need to see yours!

Extremists don't need no facts and their agenda will not be dictated by fact checkers.

I think certain people thought Woodward somehow wouldn't do his job...reporting.

The implied threat, as I understand it, was no access to the White House.

I'm going to be curious which journalists stand up with Woodward.

As Judge Judy would say, if it doesn't make sense it is not true. Woodward obviously is suffering from senility.

Seems to me 'conservatives' and Mr. Woodward are playing up 'the threat' and totally ignoring the cause. I personally don't see where Mr. Woodward was raged against, and in his interviews all he seems to want to talk about is how threatened he felt.

I'd say the so-called conservatives are doing their damnest to make 'the threat' THE story out of this....

So far none.

Whatever happened to the right's criticism of the lamestream media?
As Ann Romney would say, "you people" have gotten everything you're going to get.
