White House threatens Bob Woodward

No. I'm talking about the people who are jumping on this as if Obama threatened to put a cap in the ass of Woodward, Davis and Fournier.

Anytime the government threatens journalists it a bad idea.

With Woodward why would he regret writing about facts and giving an opinion on them? Was he going to get fired for them? That would be difficult to do.
 
Obviously, there's a difference. Surely you're smarter than that.

show us how smart you are and explain the difference

i look forward to reading your response to this challenge

One is a warning, the other is a threat. Please, tell us you get the difference.

now share with us what constituted a threat
bet you are unable to do so
 
So we can count you as one who believes he felt threatened?

You need to see a neurologist, your sense of perception is distorted. It could be a brain tumor.
 
AGAIN, why is a high level WH official screaming at a journalist ? Over sequestration which is Obama's deal.

He signed it.

You could always read the emails rather than relying on political pundits to fabricate your opinion for you.

That's no fun. I would rather make up my mind based on rumors and hearsay. After all, I heard it on the internet, so it has to be true.
 
There is no threat.

a person with far more knowledge of the phone call, the shouting match, and anything else that happened after feels the white house was pressuring him to cave on this story.

you can keep throwing your moronic one liner denials into this thread all you want. you have about a 50% chance of being right.

The WH staffer said his article was wrong, and that Woodward would regret writing it because it will make him look like a fool. Which, it seems to me, is exactly what happened.

your OPINION is noted.....again.

the bigger story to me is the white house shouts at journalists that refuse to carry their water for them.

Add that to the lack of transparency in the White house, and citizens with actual integrity should be concerned.

Whether it was JFK, LBJ, RMN all the way through to WJC and especially W-Cheney, the WH has always shouted at journalists who refuse to carry the water for them.

Did you just fall off the turnip truck yesterday or something? Oh, that's right. THis stuff only matters now with Obama the Kenyan.

you just fell off the turnip truck.

If you had fell off the truck sooner and been around here during the bush years, you wouldn't be asking we that absurd question.

unlike all the liberal shills, I still am against warrant-less wiretapping and preemptive wars.

You are so partisan about this, I bet you crap elephant **** in the morning.

You are simply upset that there isn't more to this so you refuse to us what common sense you have.

Benghazi.

You couldn't get mileage out of that non-scandal. So, now you all shout about this one. All the while conveniently forgetting that W's administration not only got more innocent Americans killed on our soil and in our embassies than any other administration, since the 1940's, and that Bush-Cheney used to strong arm journalists for real---Hint: Valerie Plame Wilson.

your thread hijacking is a bit annoying.

Clinton was forced to fall on the sword. her political career is over, her most loyal fans just don't know it yet.

you people with your minds made up are the opposite.

The only people who look like fools are those that believe the admin bothered to call up a journalist and chew him out for 30 minutes over an article that'd make the *journalist* look bad. Boggles the mind.

BS! You're not waiting for more information, it's all there. You just will not admit you were fooled and now you want to make this into more than it is.

It's all there?

where is the information explaining why Woodward didn't address his concerns in the email, but did so in the press?

Why did Woodward change his mind on how to handle the situation?

where is it? produce it now, since all the info is there for me.

Your just a partisan hack looking for something that isn't there. Get over it!
