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.

Guess it proves I’m stupid.

If I keep it up, I can get hired in the West Wing.
