Attkisson: I’ve Been On Receiving End Of Obama Official’s Profanity-Laced Tirades [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/8/14 | Al Weaver

Posted on 12/08/2014 9:51:34 PM PST by Nachum

Appearing on “The Steve Malzberg Show” Monday afternoon, author Sharyl Attkisson responded to former ABC News correspondent Ann Compton’s claim that President Barack Obama and his officials routinely direct profanity-laced tirades at reporters.

Attkisson told Malzberg she has been on the receiving end of those conversations in the past, and others, specifically The Associated Press, have been subject to scorn at the hands of Obama officials.

“Maybe this is just me or a personal opinion that a profanity-laced conversation with professionals in the press by the president of the U.S. is probably inappropriate,” said Attkisson.

“That’s not surprising to me,” the former CBS investigative reporter told Malzberg. “There have been profanity-laced discussions on their part with members of the Obama administration that they’ve talked to me about similar things, thinking that a cover story…was not warranted or fair.”

“They haven’t just done this with me, but with reporters at The Associated Press and other colleagues,” said Attkisson. “This is a tactic and a strategy.”

The truth. America can't handle the truth.

Because we won't impeach a black president.

I don’t shed any tears for them.

They’ve been covering up for him for a long time now.

As far I’m concerned, they can dish it out but they can’t take it.

Talk about schadenfreude.

Were it a Repubican President, there would be recordings released, or at least transcripts all over the news.

Impeach?

Hah! Without the support of the media to sell the idea of impeachment to the ignorant masses there's no chance of any success. Most of the media can't even bring themselves to mildly criticize this 'black president'. They've helped create a monster and now they have no idea how to destroy their 'Frankensteinish' creation.

Atkinsson turned to the light a long time ago

And the President works for us. We pay him.

He doesn’t get to curse us out, nor even the press, as disgusting as they are. Of course he’s not cursing them out for the right reasons.

They deserve no pity, the wimps.

By the same standard, we’d better stop blaming him and the politicians for charging our kids $19 trillion

We won’t be as easily forgiven as our press is by us

Obama is a classless person. I wouldn’t expect anything less of him.

I hope one of these “reporters” tape one of these tirades and releases it on youtube. They need to stop covering for this idiot and start covering him.

Can you imagine how many Fergusons there would be if you impeached Obama?

OJ Simpson got away with a vicious murder(s) because LA was afraid of a repeat of the Rodney King riots.

As a nation, we are paying for the sins of slavery profiteers who are very long since dead.

It truly is amazing to behold the insanity that permeates our culture.

This country imagined many Fergusons (in advance) if it didn't elect and re-elect BO.
