You're the one who staked the claim that her political career was over. At this rate you all will probably lose to popular vote for another 5 out of 6 presidential elections. Keep it up though. It's entertaining.

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.

I think it's worth chewing out a reporter for 30 minutes who has the story wrong. After all, in the end, if the story turns out to be wrong, the damage done is lose-lose.

You need to see a neurologist, your sense of perception is distorted. It could be a brain tumor.

No it's not a tumor. They aren't sure what it is,common sense or brain are what they have narrowed it down to, but definately not a tumor.

The have ruled out is what you seem to be suffering from, judgmentalrectumitis, which was explained to me as having the delusion that you can determine that person is an idiot or fool simply by reading an e-mail. It was also explained there is no cure for it. Sorry about that.

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.

Really? So his OP ED piece made him look foolish? I'm not sure why you would say that since ~1/2 the country agrees with his opinion and ~1/2 don't and there is no disputing the facts.
 
Is this really still having an argument about this? Has anyone read the actual e-mails? They did get published on Politico.com, Exclusive: The Woodward, Sperling emails revealed - Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei - POLITICO.com

Here is the actual text of "the threat". "But I do truly believe you should rethink your comment about saying saying that Potus asking for revenues is moving the goal post. I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim." That doesn't sound like a threat to me, it sounds like an aquantance, saying hey, you may want to take a second look at your facts, because I have more information then you do, and I think you will regret being in the wrong when we look back at the issue.

It gets even better when Mr. Woodward responds to the economic advisor; "This is all part of a serious discussion. I for one welcome a little heat; there should more given the importance. I also welcome your personal advice. I am listening. I know you lived all this. My partial advantage is that I talked extensively with all involvedI am traveling and will try to reach you after 3 pm today. Best, Bob" Yea, he really sounds upset that we was just threatened by a representative of the White House, lol. This is a non story, and I'm disappointed that one of my favorite journalist would perpetuate it, distracting the public for real problem. Very sad...

GOes to show a pattern: The Right has reached to make hay out of every non-issue that comes there way since 2009. There's a reason you all can no longer win state wide elections unless they are solidly in the red. Losing Senate seats in MO and IN should have woken you up. That it hasn't, speaks volumes.

your partisan words amuse me. I didn't gloat about my side winning when a phony conservative held office for 8 years because I didn't feel like my individual beliefs were winning.

fabricate your opinion for you.

I did read the E-Mail's. Again, why is it ok with you that a senior WH official raises his voice at a Objective reporter for voicing the truth ?

I get it, you guys are in full on damage control as the effects of your idelogy sweep across the US like a plague.

But your'e only making things worse with your mitigation and denial.

A month ago you guys would have portrayed Woodward as a fair and competent and objective journalist.

Now ? He's too old ? Democrats war on old people 2013.

So what changed ? And don't blame this on pundits. Woodward went to CNN first to say it was "Madness", not Fox.

Hopefully, I am in remission. I believe the interview added with the emails show no threat. Two friends got into a heated argument and later apologized.

apology? Where did Woodward apologize? his last statements are that the white house is trying to intimidate the free press.

Snicker is that after voting W in twice, you all now call him a RINO. :lol:

snicker is directed at you as my post history proves I would of never voted for Bush. In fact, I imagine you are closer in ideology to Bush then I am. Obama certainly is.

Have you ever noticed that when your argument gets blown to bits, which they so often do, you go into far flung over-generalized off-topic talking point rants? I sure have noticed.

His first sentenced addressed the topic. The rest was an off-topic "I hate liberals" rant that had nothing to do with the emails and the phony trumped up whitehouse "threat".

Which of my post was " blown to bits " ?

Yours and others imagined victories do NOT count.

Being that only you and a couple of birthers still cling to the notion that there was any threat from this whitehouse email so yeah... your argument has been blown to bits.

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.

Funny how when someone "feels" something that makes the president look bad, all the rightwingers believe it

But if someone "feels" that a rightwinger is racist, they start whining about how a librul is playing the race card.
