| Bob Woodward on Wolf Blitzer: WH threatened him (Posted on 2/27/13 at 5:52 pm)
Just now, talking about sequestration, says WH senior official sent email saying he will regret his recent actions.
It will be interesting to see if these thug tactics of intimidation against media will continue, or even acknowledged. When it's not Fox or conservative commentators, but a liberal icon, it may be noticed. Likely they will just embarrass Woodword as a kook and try to end his career for questioning Daddy.

They are threatening Bob Woodward? You've got to be kidding.

I'm not sure even Nixon went that far with Woodward.

He got them to admit the sequester idea came from the White House. I know, facts are stubborn.

Yeah, said senior staffer said he would 'regret' it. BW was pressed but didn't name names. Seriously, if they succeed in silencing Woodward there is pretty much no hope, assuming any hope still exists for something with greater objectivity than your average Banana Republic state media.

Not anymore.
Go check out some of the comments below his articles on Washington Post and other shared liberal sites and see what today's liberals think of him for criticizing The One.
"Washed up ole geezer"
"Shut up!"
"Senile"
"Once great has gone too far"
Icon means taking down a conservative/Republican. Challenging a liberal/Democrat destroys your legacy with the left INSTANTLY, and I don't care what your credentials are.

The CBS reporter Sharyl Atkinson that reported fast and furious reported she got a threatening, screaming phone call from the WH. She is a tough cookie with a black belt with some kind of military experience that does not leave her afraid of much.
Obviously Obama got away with fast and furious so they must have gotten to somebody. Even the guys responsible for it they tried to scape goat got cushy positions only a few fired.

A dem admitted the sequester ideas came from the WH. I will bet that dem was threatened.
During passportGate before Obama was even elected someone was found dead in their car. And liberals said Dubya was a bad man. Oh the irony. Obama is a mob thug POS.

There may come a day where The State makes us atone for the things we have said on this board. How long before we wake up and hear about an IRS IP ADDRESS scandal? Things are getting sketchier by the day. It's just a weird time.The State as God. Even liberals are starting to look around nervously (albeit selectively).Nothing would really surprise me at this point.

Which is a good thing. I hope the Gov't keeps pressing their luck because it is getting ridiculous and something needs to be done.

That's who immediately came to mind. I keep hearing rumors that she can be quite aggressive.

If she didn't do it, I'll bet she is behind it.

I have no problem when dissident voices are dealt with harshly. The proper way for a political faction to behave is with ruthless dedication to the agenda and the leader. Anything or anyone that gets in the way must be disposed of.
If Weeedward can't get his act together, he'll have to be dealt with. He's been fairly warned.
