Obama admin threatens woodward: "YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET DOING THIS'

Quote from wildchild:

Who employs Rick Santelli? How often is he critical of Obama? Has he lost his job because of it?

I think they underestimated his influence, then when the tea party thing went viral, it was too late.

There is a key difference though. He was never a supporter. It's one thing for some oddball to diss them. It's another if it is someone with long liberal democrat credentials. That kind of thing cannot be tolerated.

The difference is that Cramer is a Democrat while Santelli is not. The issue is about criticism WITHIN the party.
 
Quote from wildchild:

This is really damning for Obama. This isn't Hannity or Limbaugh or one of the other usual suspects that Obama targets. Woodward is a respected journalist and this is going to piss a lot of other journalists off. Now this is not going to bother bastards like Chris Matthews, Rachael Madcow, or a lot of other far left anti-Americans in the news media, but there are some in media that this will bother.

It doesn't surprise, some glaring examples where similar things happened is when Obama silenced Cory Booker and Diane Feinstein.

Of course Obama was just on TV a few days ago repeating the claim that he had the most transparent regime in history.

Obama is now Emperor. He can do say, whatever he wants and you either sing his praises or keep your mouth shut. This is now America's reality and the press knows it.

He has spoken and the press walks away with their marching orders.

Anytime someone high in the White House puts the phrase in an email to you that "you're going to regret this" it is a problem. And, we know others have received not so subtle threats and even actions.

I think Woodward just had enough of this sort of veiled threat and make a stand for the sake of his profession.

It's amazing the attacks he is receiving from other journalists and to see them saying they don't mind taking a little heat (or threat of punishment). I think most of the press has an education equivilant of about 3rd grade. They never made it to American history class.

Sperling’s e-mail said. “I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim.”
