Back in 2009, the feud between the Fox News Channel and President Barack Obama’s administration had reached its heights. There were public on-air attacks from then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn on one side and the antics of former Fox News host Glenn Beck, who was able to spearhead an effort that resulted in the resignation of White House “green jobs czar” Van Jones.

Later that dust-up led to rumblings from the White House about excluding Fox News from the White House press pool, which the Obama administration promptly backed away from. But in the lead-up, the White House had some choice words for “Special Report” host Bret Baier. According to a press release from the watchdog group Judicial Watch, emails they obtained reveal then-Deputy White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki, threatened to put dead fish in “the fox cubby” and also reveal ed Psaki calling Baier a lunatic:

Brett Baier should be proud of himself.

When you’re taking that kind of flak, you know you’re right over the target!

The idiots in the White House will significantly regret screwing with Baier.

Ha! Bret Baier is one of the least biased guys at Fox News, which probably makes him one of the least biased news analysts in broadcast television. Lunatic? How funny. I’d reserve that description for someone like Geraldo or O’Reilly.

Hmmm, who would I rather have over for dinner?

Yeah, it’s Bret Baier. Seems like the All American guy, so naturally Hussein hates him.

Who do I not trust with anything including my country?

That would be “this administration”. (said like Shillary used to call the Bush Administration).

“The list” gets longer everyday, Nachum!

One day, I hope it says “President Is Usurper! Taken To Federal Pen!”.

Now that would be a real “Fox News Alert”, which are rarely ever worthy of the gong sound with the red alert scrawl...........DING, Obama Taken Out In Handcuffs....Michelle Grabs The Silver And Runs.......Nancy Pelosi Blinks For First Time In 10 Years....

This is the typical Liberal hysterics whenever they are faced with cold, hard facts!

NOTHING in their mentality equips them to deal with logic and unavoidable facts in a mature way.

THAT'S when they display this idiotic and emotional babbling which shows them mere nano-seconds away from clinical hysteria. SO predictable and pathetic!!!

On Cuba, an aversion to Communism is considered a Mental Disorder. Former Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell’s father-in-law was on Death Row for 17 years for this offense.

Landing on Nixon’s Enemies List made a career for Dan Rather. I wonder what this will do for Baier’s?

Yup, I can’t spell when typing in a hurry.

Baier a lunatic? Are they kidding?

I’ll double down and call Obama an intellectual.

Remember Baier’s interview with Obama that got him called disrespectful for interrupting “The Won”? It was just about the first time Obama had been asked questions that weren't beach balls thrown underhand. And if you remember Saddleback he can't even field those sometimes.

This is a White House whose leader voted present on abortion legislation that NARAL supported because it wasn't extreme enough. Of course they hate him.

I like Brett but switch him off when he has Juan Williams on. Sometimes Krautheimer is just as bad - he is too inside the beltway.

And this is what passes for good government from our White House

Imagine what the WH calls the multitudes of voters who ousted democrats in November 2010 elections, tea party members and supporters, and independents who intend to oust him from office and put democrat politicians in the unemployment lines they created!

“the tongue flicking is a sign of neurological disorder
as if being a progressive wasn’t obvious enough”

John Francois Kerry is also a reptilian tongue flicker. And if he thinks that his votes represent his constituents, then he really DOES have a mental disorder.

Even the MA libs despise the open borders, global government supporters....
