Can you imagine if George Bush had asked for “off the record” private meetings with the press?????? with these kinds of conditions?
Then threatened them with ‘losing’ their rights if they didn’t comply?
For the list?
Must be in the Dean Wormer "Double Secret Probation" clause ...
Who is the bureau chief for Fox News? They ought to make Rosen the chief just for the day.
The NYT should promise not to tell then print what Holder said verbatim. If Holder complains tell him it furthers the NYT agenda.
A pergurer would understand and respect that.
Maybe some people at the Times finally understand the stakes here.
It’s hard to believe that the WH or its minions are so confident and arrogant that they’d send out a taunt like this.
They should all refuse to the "requirements" and then do front page/top of the hour stories on it.
Either way...it's going to be serious blowback...
He only has one condition: it must be off-the-record, and no one outside of the room must ever know what happened.
What kind of government does this? Hmmmmmm.....
The communications director for the Democrat party? Wow. These guys are falling apart. Secret meetings? Holder works for the taxpayers. I guess he shouldn’t.
WTF?
What would be the point?
(We can figure out who was there and infer from their actions the meeting's content - if we don't already know.)
Guilty of tapping.
My third grade teacher convicted me of that too, without so much as a jury, and all because of restless leg syndrome.
In the usual Communist takeover, at this point the Party hauls the journalists off to the gulag.
Since that is impractical due to the Constitution, the next best tactic here is a series of “loyalty tests” conducted by the Party to separate loyal propagandists (useful) from the disillusioned Utopians (not useful and possibly harmful).
As these scandals unfold, Obamatollah is watching and making 2 lists.
The "press" does not forfeit its right to "gripe" by not jumping through any hoops devised by any government official or combination of government officials!
The First Amendment to the Constitution is the law which "shields" the press, leaving it free to "gripe" all it wishes to gripe. No other law is needed. America's wise Founders believed that citizen liberty was safer in the hands of an unfettered press than in the hands of government officials.
"It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others; or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. It behooves him, too, in his own case, to give no example of concession, betraying the common right of independent opinion . . . ." --Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush, 1803."The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787.
Did your NC History teachers not include these ideas of freedom in your high school or college courses?
Unfrickingbelievable!!!
Time to invest in some popcorn futures.
thucking fugs.....
Why did Holder or Obama let a little shithead from the DNC try to make administration/media relations policies?
Who is this guy? We didn’t elect him to anything, and the position for official outhouse cleaner was filled.
The Democratic National Committee is filled with the dregs of political society so this guy has a great future when Carney, the Liar in Chief’s top spokesLiar resigns.
Obama/Holder/DNC spokesIdiots give “bottomdwellers” a good name (Bottomdwellers are class action trial lawyers like John Edwards).
