The second problem is that anonymity -- no names, no pictures-- is requested. He fears retaliation and harassment. And who knows -- perhaps more.
Media may get away with going single-source on this, or anonymous sources, but not both single-source and anonymous.
So here's the day's twist: Believe it or don't.
The source was considering dropping his demand for anonymity. Thus likely moving the story forward. (He wasn't considering going forward with the Politico, by the way: but with the other, more important organization.)
And now, today? After witnessing Politico, among others, savage Joe Wurtzelbacher?
Cold feet.
The Politico has this story. They've had it for a while. They don't want to run it with the guy's anonymity kept intact.
Gee, I wonder why he wanted to keep that?
They're willing to endlessly vet anyone who even asks Barack Obama a question, but not Barack Obama himself.
I can pretty much understand the media's reluctance to allow anonymity -- except for the fact that the media so gleefully engages in the witness intimidation that prompts the request for anonymity in the first place.
As of now, the story appears dead.
Again, second source crucial. If anyone has the guts to go up against Obama's cultists and his state media.
The Other Party on the Story: I should say the Politico's reasoning is not obviously biased, because the other party, whom I respect, has the same damn problems.
I am picking on the Politico, however, because let's face it, they are a bit loose with the rules when it suits them, and because they took part in this "vetting," as they call it, of a citizen who dared to ask a question.
They're part of the same smear campaign and creepy threats of retaliation -- a home address? Why does that need to be known to a charged, angry electorate? -- against a guy who asked a question.
No, the Politico didn't do that part, but they dug an awful lot. And encouraged digging, because any leftie who hit upon something would get his tip published.
I cannot even imagine what would happen to a guy who called Obama a straight-up liar on his supposed "flimsy" relationship with The Terrorist William Ayers.
They know what this guy fears -- because they just participated in it.
Any dink of a sub-bureaucrat who could whistle-blow against the Bush Administration would have his story told -- with anonymity.
But it's different for The One.
Very funny clip.
MSLSD was terrible to Joe the Plumber tonight, I watched 2 minutes of KO go after Joe and Sarah, astonishing, even for KO/MSLSD.
LOL!
Since I - and probably most everyone else reading this - don’t have four hours or so to listen to the Rusty Humphries show - let me ask: is it the Whitey Tape? Because I’m fully expecting that to materialize at the last moment to save us all. In fact, I suggest everyone just relaxes and waits for something fantastic to happen.
Alternatively, we could encourage others - those whose papers are in order - to go out and ask BHO really tough questions:

That plan would be highly effective. It’s odd how, instead of pushing something that would be highly effective, some people are pushing pipe dreams.
Yep, I grew up outside of Chicago. He NEEDS to come out into the light for his own safety. The more press the better... At least that was a suggestion I received - and that was from a high-ranking military officer who had previously worked in the White House.
It is VERY much in this person’s interest to NOT stay “in the shadows”. Otherwise, he will just end up another victim of “random violence”... Kind of like TUCC’s homosexual Choir Director that was in touch with Larry Sinclair about Obama. Perhaps if he would’ve contacted the press he may still have been alive??? Who knows, but if Obama and Ayers knows who this guy is, and he’s got the goods on them - wouldn’t want to be in his shoes...
The thing is - does Politico KNOW his identity? If so, and if I were him, I would NOT trust them to keep his identity a secret ANYWAY. After seeing all the games they played during the Republican Primary, I wouldn’t doubt that there are some at Politico that are FIRMLY in the tank for Obama, and wouldn’t hesitate giving the name privately to Obama himself!
Good ol’ Uncle Joe's tactics still work after all these years.
When dialog breaks down, violence breaks out.
That MAC video is tears-in-the-eyes hilarious!!! He’s killing ‘em - even Hillary is in stiches!!!
If you go to Rusty's page you can fast forward through the show that Breitbart is on, it's about a 8 minute interview.
You shouldn’t torture yourself like that.
How bout a fight the smears site for the media????
I'd like to be on the security detail that might get to shoot the miserable scum that tried their brownshirt bullsh!t
