Yeah, sure, but he was no doubt hiding out in a motel in Northern Va., drenched in sweat and afraid to go home at that point. These brutes must be stopped!

Remember: They’re not attacking Bob Woodward because they think he’s lying. They’re attacking him because they think he’s telling the truth.

Powerful stuff. Can we buy the bumper sticker yet, or maybe the engraved set of dinnerware?

The real story should be how much of the press lined up against Woodward. Twitter is full of "journalists" and Obama officials (Plouffe, Cutter) calling Woodward old and taking other personal shots. But no, there is no bias, and the MSM aren't Obama lapdogs.

As a friend, I think you are going to regret staking out the claim in the OP.

Blue team good. Protect king at all costs... Beyond silly and reason. Nixon is a piker compared to the Potus.

Dude, try to keep up. It's already established that this naked threat of violence if Woodward didn't "clam up, see!" - read the emails back and forth - is worse than Germany in the 1930's, maybe as bad as Warsaw in 1941, Nanking in 1933, and approaches Hiroshima. We all await Woodward's response - "Nuts!" - to rally around him, no matter where he is in hiding.

Mods!!

This kind of intimidation is an outrage. It will not stand!

Jeez, dude, read the email again. There was no threat there. Just repeating Woodward's "claim" does not make it fact.

If you wrote that you love Neo-Nazis and I told you that you would regret saying that, would that be considered a threat?

barack's people need to get woodward and the post back on message.

Woodward sure perceived that way because he said so. This is typical Chicago thuggery. I understand what you guys don't want to see. This is clear and it is a threat.

If the email is the extent of it, I wouldn't interpret it as a threat.

But there was clearly other things happening before the email (as it indicates). I don't think anyone's in position to judge the "threatiness" of the email on its own.

I find it funny that the liberals feel that we need their translations on everything as if we don't speak the same language. Message for libs: You may be able to outsmart your own flock with wonderfully spun tails but but your wasting your time trying to BS the rest of us.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

I mean it's simple. If Woodward feels threatened, it was a threat, even if it wasn't necessarily intended that way.

Perhaps you don't, however you're not the recipient

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Um, that's what I just said.

[Row6]

and gatorman's been threatened right here on TH, at least twice today. With what is the proper question, for both he and Woodward.

Fortunately, there's some willing media outlets for Bob to have his feelings validated.
