Jay Carney And ABC’s Jake Tapper In Fiery Exchange Over Jimmy Hoffa Comments
Mediaite ^ | 9/6/11 | Tommy Christopher

Posted on 09/06/2011 2:15:42 PM PDT by Nachum

In the hours since the Jimmy Hoffa Voter Encouragement Crisis/Incendiary Rhetorapocalypse, conservative media figures have looked to the White House to provide some becalming wisdom to a shaken nation. At Tuesday’s White House briefing, ABC’s Jake Tapper asked Press Secretary Jay Carney how Hoffa’s comments fit with the President’s post-Tucson remarks in January. (Snip) Tapper began by reading President Obama’s January quote, then asked, “Did he mean that?”

A L E R T..............

I clicked on the URL below the excerpt and read the script. I didn’t click on the video and attempted to close web page.

Every time I clicked the “X” to close it, more of the same page appeared until I had about 10 of them. I had to shut down the computer and rebooted.

I don’t know what that was. I’m no expert.

It’s a good way to prevent people from seeing the Carney/0b0z0 Kabuki dance.

Anyone experienced this?

Dems have made their 2012 strategy clear. Put the Tea party in their crosshairs. And most in the MSM will go along with it...

I think Obama suffers from “Selective Memory Syndrome” horrible disease

He also suffers from "Selective Service Syndrome" horrible Plague!

sounds like a script hack.. the X just redirects, silently installs malware, is a prank, or whatever the script-kiddy wanted it to do..

I recommend booting in safe mode, run something like malwarebytes and Spybot (and AdAware) (or other good scanners).. rebbot and see what happens after that...
Might not even have been from the origional webmaster... someone could have slipped it in.

If you are running Firefox, you need AdBlock and NoScript (as addons from Mozilla) to feep that stuck from happening ;)

Team Obama follows one clear and consistent standard:

THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

OH!!

If you are unsure about a pop-up or, or even a webpage, you should either close the window/pop-up by right clicking on the windows ‘box’ on the taskbar, and closing it from there.. OR by using the task-manager ;)

Aw......Come on! The president flew Hoffa and all the other union presidents with him on Airforce One to Detroit and back to Washington for the rally! Carney is really saying that the president speaks for himself? Even when the taxpayers are paying for Hoffa to travel with the president?

Never click on a suspect popup to try and close it. Ctrl-Alt-Del to brink up task manager and close it that way.

That was brilliant -
Tapper didn’t want Obama to disavow the remarks -
He wanted him to disavow the process - short circuiting the media from 10,000 stories because someone somehwere “targets” someone for removal from office.

Pure brilliance.

If this exchange is followed - he just cut Leftist media stories in half for the next two years.

Carney is a trained seal who will bark and slap his flippers on cue, anytime, anywhere. Judas required 30 pieces of silver. Carney is a lot cheaper; only a few fish.

I am becoming more and more convinced that Obama will not run for a second term. There is no way the libs are gonna let this guy take away their power. And if he doesn’t run history will not record the disastrous loss he will face. He will take himself out of this race and be replaced by Hillary or Bill Richardson.

Good. Bashing the MSM and stepping on their baby-soft Marxist toes with my steel-toe boots will give me something to do.

And you? If you’re not busy, you’re invited...

“Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement_____AFL CIO”

Am I wrong or do these two statements completely contradict themselves?
Does the union rank and file really want to be seen and perceived like this? Someone needs to step up and repudiate this because if it ends up as a “them against us” scenario, then rhe union has declared war on the American people and we really are at war.

When you take a date to the party and the date steals the silver and pukes on the host, that’s your date and it is a reflection on you and who you associate with.

Carney makes Robert Gibbs look like an elder statesman.

Yes he meant it and Obama was smirking when he took the stage so to me he ok’ed it.I feel like writing Hoffa and telling him that 1/2 his membership ARE tea party members too and do not appreciate his language and will be working hard to make all states right to work states because of it.
