WMAL EXCLUSIVE: Fmr. Clinton Aide Davis Says He Received White House Threat (audio at link)
630 WMAL, Washington, DC | 2/28/13 | WMAL Staff


WASHINGTON -- Bob Woodward isn't the only person who's received threats for airing the Obama administration's dirty laundry. It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days - even former senior members of the Clinton administration.

A day after Woodward's claim that a senior White House official had told him he would "regret" writing a column criticizing President Obama's stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL's Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.

Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, "received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn't like some of my columns, even though I'm a supporter of Obama. I couldn't imagine why this call was made." Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, "that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials."

Sorry, I just posted the same story, didn't see this.

This whole behavior is so unlike something you would expect in a free country, and exactly what you would expect from a dictator.

I don't see how anyone can defend this, except maybe that POS press secretary of the dear leader.

Anybody remember reading Animal Farm way back in school? The way it was explained to us sort of stuck with me. Parts of it and characters seem uncomfortably applicable to current events. IMO.

Squealer.

Throughout his career, Orwell explored how politicians manipulate language in an age of mass media. In Animal Farm, the silver-tongued pig Squealer abuses language to justify Napoleon’s actions and policies to the proletariat by whatever means seem necessary. By radically simplifying language—as when he teaches the sheep to bleat “Four legs good, two legs better!”—he limits the terms of debate. By complicating language unnecessarily, he confuses and intimidates the uneducated, as when he explains that pigs, who are the “brainworkers” of the farm, consume milk and apples not for pleasure, but for the good of their comrades. In this latter strategy, he also employs jargon (“tactics, tactics”) as well as a baffling vocabulary of false and impenetrable statistics, engendering in the other animals both self-doubt and a sense of hopelessness about ever accessing the truth without the pigs’ mediation. Squealer’s lack of conscience and unwavering loyalty to his leader, alongside his rhetorical skills, make him the perfect propagandist for any tyranny. Squealer’s name also fits him well: squealing, of course, refers to a pig’s typical form of vocalization, and Squealer’s speech defines him. At the same time, to squeal also means to betray, aptly evoking Squealer’s behavior with regard to his fellow animals.

Citing disloyalty to the party, Dear Leader Comrade President Obama denounced Bob Woodward as an enemy of the people and banished him to Chicago for his public criticism of Comrade President's policies.

"Bad things happen there, especially on the front lines in the war against the GOP," stated a Party representative. "Mr. Woodward may get accidentally trampled by an elephant."

The Party would like to remind other journalists that there's still plenty of room in Chicago should anyone else dare criticize Comrade Obama and think non-party thoughts. "Bad things can happen to them too," said a high-ranking White House official, who wished to remain anonymous.

It is reported that the People's Department of Agitation and Unanimity has sent several truckloads of shovels to Chicago in anticipation of more arriving journalists.

Woodward on White House email: 'I never said it was a threat'

By Daniel Strauss - 03/01/13 08:20 AM ET

Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward on Friday said he didn't feel threatened by a senior White House official who challenged his reporting on the President Obama's handling of sequestration negotiations.

But Woodward, who has been at the center of a media tempest over the controversy, said he didn't feel that it was appropriate for the official — White House economic adviser Gene Sperling — to tell him he would "regret" his characterization of Obama's position.

"I never said it was a threat," Woodward said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Woodward's comments sparked a sharp exchange on the program with former senior White House aide David Axelrod, who accused the journalist of mischaracterizing the exchange.

At issue is an email Sperling sent to Woodward following an apparently heated conversation about Woodward's reporting. In the email, Sperling apologized for "raising my voice" in a Feb. 22 conversation.

"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," Sperling wrote.

Woodward told CNN the email made him feel uncomfortable and media accounts said the journalist considered it a threat.

"It was said very clearly: 'you will regret doing this' " Woodward told CNN.

Axelrod, who was also appearing on "Morning Joe," accused Woodward of mischaracterizing the exchange before the emails were made public.

Axelrod noted that the Washington Post headline for the exchange between Woodward and Sperling said Woodward had been threatened.

"But I never had, I never had," been threatened, Woodward said to Axelrod. "Come on, you know that."

Axelrod said Woodward's editors got the impression from Woodward that he was threatened.

"But they got the impression from what you said that you were being threatened ... and when the full emails came out they were as cordial as can be," Axelrod said.

"His email was cordial and your response was cordial, so if you felt threatened why didn't you say you to Gene, 'Don't threaten me?' "

"No, I did not feel threatened. What I have said David, and come on you are putting words in my mouth, is that I don't think this is the way to operate," Woodward responded.


"And you and I have had many discussions —you've never said to me 'Oh you're going to regret that.' Am I correct?"

"Yes but this was a specific discussion about a specific point you had raised. It seemed like Gene, in that email, certainly was very, very polite in the way that he pushed," the exchange, Axelrod said. "But I'm not putting words in your mouth, Bob. It's your newspaper that said you were threatened."

"Now look, Gene is not a threatening sort of person and I never said this was a threat," Woodward said.

Defend this one. Is he senile? (As other Buckwheat minions have alluded to.)

Woodward said Obama was showing a "kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns.

Gee looks like Woodward could be doing damage control so Obama's minions don't carry out any planned threats to his reputation. It would not be the first time a reporter has had to change his/her story to protect themselves from this corrupt administration and the Obama loving/protecting media :roll: .
