CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson has been doggedly covering the ATF and DOJ scandal surrounding the gunwalking “Fast and Furious” case. And now she’s coming out with some juicy details about her attempts to get information from the DOJ and the White House regarding the case.
On Laura Ingraham’s radio show Tuesday, Attkisson said she was “screamed” and “cussed” at by the White House while trying to get information last Friday, and that a DOJ spokesperson “yelled” at her while she was trying to get clarification on the case. And she named names.
Ingraham: So they were literally screaming at you?
Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me.
Ingraham: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?
Attkisson: Eric Schultz Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House.
Why such the reaction from the spokespeople?
“They will tell you that I’m the only reporter–as they told me–that is not reasonable,” she told Ingraham. “They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.”
You can listen to her tell the story below (the revelation initially comes at the beginning and then picks up again at the 6:00 mark):

“If you have no defense, be offensive as hell.”
Reasonable now means that the media must studiously ignore probably the biggest scandal in the history of the US.
The scary thing about it is that there are probably dozens if not hundreds of people who knew of this ILLEGAL activity by the government, yet no one talked until someone got killed. Think about it. They knew. They kept their mouths shut.

Interesting and plausible timeline for resignation.
One more round of mega-vacations on half of the USAF’s heavy airlift.
Pray to the Lord that I am wrong.

Aye Joe, you got it brother!
Socialists have done more to achieve their agenda in the past 5 years than they did through the entire cold war.
Young foolish Americans were sucked in hook line and sinker.
If they were smart they would march on Hollywood.
“....Attkisson said she was “screamed” and “cussed” at by the White House while trying to get information last Friday,...”
Credit where credit is due, even if the reporter works for CBS, so far, anyway. She certainly has touched a nerve. Keep up the good work!
Doesn't she understand that she is dealing with the annointed one, for whom people swoon, faint, and get thrills running up their legs? [/sarcasm]
Sharyl’s lucky. I heard there are 5 FOX reporters buried in the Rose Garden.
You apparently don't know about the other three who were on to Obama's Muslim religious affiliation. It's OK for Muslims to lie to infidels and kill them if they don't shut up.
Don't tell anybody else Obama is a Muslim plant or else they will yell at you too.
