Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government. One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said. snip Edited by longstop, Nov 6 2009, 01:02 PM.

By the way,the New Orleans Acorn office was raided today. THESE are the stories NOT to be followed up on. These are the stories the State Media must avoid. http://biggovernment.com/2009/11/06/breaking-acorns-new-orleans-office-raided-by-louisiana-attorney-generals-office/

Can't verify, but it would follow the WH thinking on FOX News: Start of email: I tried to find this on Fox News site but didn't see it listed. does anyone know about this show? can anyone find the listing online? If it is true, it will come on opposite the Eagles/ Cowboys game and that is not good for viewership. let me know......

"If they were confident in themselves and in their phoney baloney talking points, they would want Democrat strategists to appear on Fox News. They know their talking points are complete nonsense and the crap sandwich they’re trying to peddle to the country ain’t selling, so now they’re trying to do all that they have left, which is to quell criticism of Barry’s corruption and incompetence. You know, if the Obama “administration” worked as hard on solving problems as it does on deflecting criticism for their impotent performance thus far, they might not be in this situation.

NoDonkey on November 6, 2009 at 3:00 PM lol, the truth hurts em ! It looks like the old Obama/Chicago way , no debate, just clear the field and destroy the opposition! Classic Saul Alinsky which is now wearing rather thin and so predictable ! Have the wheels started to fall off the Obama bus ?

NoDonkey on November 6, 2009 at 3:00 PM Joan, it looks like the WH is trying to discredit FOX news before they come out with the program that I mentioned above. I am just curious to know if FOX is going to have a broadcast like that and who will anchor it.

I hope that FOX has something.

Usually, they are intimidated by somebody who threatens to withold something they want. Then we get to see what their values are. If people are allowing the WH to intimidate them into silence or non-participation, they are giving the WH power to run their lives. That's pretty scary. But its even more cowardly. Some will eventually decide that they value their freedom more than the WHs judas kiss
