Obviously, the juice-box mafia in the White House have decided history begins with them. What else can explain their belief that a threat against one of the Watergate reporters was going to work?
Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a “very senior person” at the White House warned him in an email that he would “regret doing this,” the same day he has continued to slam President Barack Obama over the looming forced cuts known as the sequester.
CNN host Wolf Blitzer said that the network invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the White House declined.
However, the blatancy does make one wonder, just how many reporters have been threatened into silence?
I mean, who really buys that ABC’s convenient editing of Michelle’s dumbass ‘assault guns’ line was just a matter of timing?

UDPATE Obama capo, David Plouffe, signals the get Woodward strategy to the media wiseguy crew — in essence, Woodward is “too old” to be trusted.

I’m as inclined to believe in Media perfidy as much as anyone, but the usual m.o. would be for the media to insist that the weapon was an automatic firearm regardless.
LEAVE BOB WOODWARD ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just leave him alone, food stamp.
You have your obamacare and your taxes and your Hagel why do you need to torment Bob Woodward???? Why??? JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE.
PLEEEAASE!!!
He’s just an old man and he’s just concerned about you and all you can do is ATTACK HIM. And for what?? NOTHING!
I can’t even believe this is America anymore WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PUNCHING DOWN stupid food stamp? Pick on somebody on your own level go kick sand in the face of a EUROPEAN why don’t you? Or that Iranian guy.
JUST LEAVE BOB ALONE YOU FREAK
Please
ok that was kinda funny right there oh look shiny
Edit that out or your next license renewal might . . . take awhile. Namean?
Alec – that is precisely what Tommy Xtopher did at mediate today.
Damned shame that the only decent, high-profile, possessor of an actual spine reporter left in this miserable failing Republic is Bob Woodward. And he’s staying true to his principles, despite Barky’s fascisty intimidation. Hat’s off to Bob Woodward.
Dan Rather can’t reach high enough to polish Bob Woodward’s shoes.
The media are there to protect the Obamas from looking ignorant. It’s a tough job.
The jackals are in the process of (trying to) destroy Woodward even as we speak.
I don’t think it’s going to work.
Buzzfeed says Gene Sperling is the threatener.

Wow. Stand back and enjoy the magnificence of lefties feeding on their own.
Is it too much to ask that there be debilitating necrotic wounds?
If only Comrade ObaZma knew, these terrible things would not go on.
If only…. yep.
Poor Uncle Joseph, he’s just never in the loop when these terrible things happen. Always the bridesmaid at his own wedding.
Man you guys moved on to another thread just when I started breakin out the good stuff ;^)
Tragic car crash in 5..4..3..2..
I linked to the original article on Facebook last night, and a lib acquaintance replied that “The issue is that he has stopped being a journalist and has become a pundit, and is spiteful. He’s a shill, not a truth-teller. Alas.”
Remember when dissent was patriotic? Good times. Good times.
“The issue is that he has stopped being a
journalistjournolist”OT: Hugo Chavez is still dead.
WH Senior Adviser Plouffe: Woodward Washed Up
Wow, it sounds as if the White House may have some kind of “list” that has people they don’t like, or “enemies” on it.
QUESTION
AUTHORITY!DISSENT!The folks who write the hit pieces on Bob Woodward in the coming days will be outing themselves as the administration’s favorite puppets.
A quick scroll through the bylines at the NYT and the Wapo any day of the week will give you that information. Not a single one of them is a journalist. All they do is lick Dear Leader’s face. Hopefully after they’ve licked their nuts.
The crazy thing is that I’ve seen the lib-tards take on this on other boards is “Well Woodward was wrong and the White House was just explaining to him why he was wrong”. They live in a different universe than I do.

This site needs a “retweet” button for comments like that.
And the gist of the explanation was, “Because shut up.”

White House Threatens Bob Woodward, JournoList Juicebox Mafia Forms Human Shield Around God King Obama
Politico had this Tuesday, when they interviewed Woodward, but didn’t run with it until after Woodward appeared and made the claim on CNN last night.
“White House threatens Bob Woodward” is a bit of a scoop, no? Ah, but it reflects poorly on Dear Leader. Let’s sit on that.

Lanny Davis comes out: Lanny Davis: Obama White House Threatened Washington Times Over My Column
These people might want to read up on Herr Doktor Goebbels. It didn’t end well.
It didn’t work out for Goebbels because he was backing the wrong guy. His Big Lie expertise would have brought him everlasting glory if only he’d waited around for the little god-king instead.
Oh look! A left-leaning journalist, and Watergate hero, shows some backbone and integrity and he’s now Leon Trotsky.
What a hilarious visual that creates. Is anyone else reminded of that YT vid from a few years ago of a Scientology Street Fair in LA with the Angry Midget security detail?
Enturbulation!
Spiny, I envisage that scene from Stargate where Kurt Russell grabs the laser spear thingy and points it at Jaye Davidson, but all the little kids jump in front to shield their Dear Leader.
That’s gotta suck for all of those journalists. How can these two facts co-exist in their universe?
– Bob Woodward is the man who demonstrated that a journalist can take down a presidency, inspiring generations of journalists to Speak Truth to Power! and comfort the afflicted while afflicting the comfortable.
-and-
-Bob Woodward has caught Obama massively lying about sequestration and is the only journalist brave enough to call him out on it, as well as Obama’s mendacious tactics with detained immigrants & an aircraft carrier.

Lanny Davis and Ron Fournier also reporting threats. On Ace now.
Obama told us in 2008 that he was going to take us to Candy Mountain, but instead he stole our kidneys.
Here’s yet another article claiming that Obama must not know what his staff are doing on his behalf. And who’s fault is that? Who sets the culture? Is this what leading from behind gets you?
It is very strange that intelligent, dedicated people can see the facts plain as day but their attachment to the myth continues to blind them to the reality.
Here’s yet another article claiming that Obama must not know what his staff are doing on his behalf. And who’s fault is that? Who sets the culture? Is this what leading from behind gets you?
Can we translate “who sets the culture?” into more simply political terms charlesaustin? I.e., in a post-Constitutional (or tyrannic) State, the rules governing the governors having been abandoned, great uncertainties with many necessarily arbitrary actions will arise. So, nothing about these unguided behaviors ought to surprise us, at least insofar as the behaviors are unguided by any generally known rules, measures or standards.
So it needn’t be so much a matter of leading from behind, as leading from within. Such are the ways of the tyrant, and many disorders are the result.
An oldie from that long ago time of Oct. 2008.

Just reading the Ron Fournier piece, I noticed another profession of the great virtue of Comrade ObaZma, exactly echoing Mr. Woodward’s own:
Uncanny, right?
heh
He’s too thin-skinned and closed-minded to notice.
