No one's putting anything in his mouth or mind, but you. Woodward himself appears, at this point, somewhat conflicted over the issue and how he wants to portray it. The Cult of Barry Soetoro, however, must have its sacrifices, and it has enough loyal, chanting subjects whom it can call on to do its polemical bidding - doesn't it, Kevin - to keep us all up nights checking and re-checking our sanity as actual reality continues its head-on collision with leftist ideology.

Serfdom.


Woodward claimed threat! Booyah! It's as simply as that! ....except that, um, not really.

Typical Droopy. He makes an incautious bombastic and certainty filled claim based on partisan comments from his usual mouth foaming sources..... which then turns out to be false and in the same breath makes accusations that someone else is spinning (round who goes? Huh?)
Shameless.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Droopy: "Oh yeah, the threat is there, just as Woodward claimed... Oh, the White House is denying all the allegations."

Kevin: So is Woodward.

Droopy: "No, he's not. All he's done is said that he, himself, never used the term 'threat.'"

Kevin: No that's not "all he's done." He said this term was put in his mouth by others and that he didn't feel threatened at all: "I did not feel threatened."

Droopy:"he's still holding to the claim that inappropriate and unprofessional pressure was brought to bear on him through those comments."

Kevin: No he said Sterling's, "language is unfortunate and I don’t think it’s the way to operate."
So where is the threat and the "pressure"? That's two words you have put in his mouth. Telling someone they'll regret something is not necessarily a threat. Most times it is just good advice.

Droopy: "No one's putting anything in his mouth or mind, but you."

Kevin: Oh really? Let's recap:

Droopy: "...the threat is there, just as Woodward claimed."

Woodward: "I did not feel threatened... don't put words in my mouth (in reference to a "threat")"

Keep squirming Droopy, but I am the only one between us who is willing to quote him word for word. All you want to do is throw up hyperlinks and drag out your usual theory about how the Democrats are conspiring to take over the universe through force.

I've not quoted him word for word because I linked to a video in which he spoke for himself (and to direct quotations of him on another link). He didn't like what he was told, and he initially, at least, felt he was being intimidated. He still clearly appears to think, subjectively at least, that it was very inappropriate (and it's not at all difficult to figure out why, is it now?).

You know, in you we may have actually found someone who would actually go all the way to Guyana.

Ah, so now you're running backwards from "there was a threat" to it was just "unprofessional pressure" to now saying it was "intimidation." It doesn't matter how many ways you can skirt the truth semantically Droops, it will still be there to bite you in the ass. Again:

Droopy: "...the threat is there, just as Woodward claimed."

Woodward: "I did not feel threatened... don't put words in my mouth (in reference to a "threat")"

You have the links. You have the video. You're done. You're like a dog about to have an epileptic seizure, running to hide under the bed because he doesn't understand that the problem is coming from within. You're problem is that you're trying to psychologist and mind read Woodward to protect your cult-leader, and I'm not. I'm taking him at his word.

He feels there was something wrong and inappropriate with the words (like "regret") what were used in an attempt to warn him off, and we now have, again, a second witness to the same kind of behavior.

Expect more of this in future, and much more, when Obama is out of office and the books start to be written.
