Tapper grills Earnest: Seriously? No one at the WH has seen the Planned Parenthood vids?

'Heard about it from the news reports'

If you’re even a casual observer of current events, you’ve probably seen the gruesome Planned Parenthood videos. If you’re a reporter, blogger, commentator, or just a regular person who follows politics, you’ve definitely seen them. Given that fact, its a safe bet that someone whose day-to-day life is 100% tied to the 24 hour news cycle has seen them. Let’s face it, if everything you do is about handling various sectors of the news media, you have to know what you’re talking about, right?

Apparently, no, that’s not right.

When CNN’s Jake Tapper found himself interviewing White House press secretary Josh Earnest, he asked if the White House was bothered by anything featured in the Planned Parenthood videos released so far.

Earnest responded by claiming that these mysterious videos were something he’d never seen:


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government; Health/Medicine; Politics
KEYWORDS: abortion; cnn; deathpanels; joshearnest; obamacare; plannedparenthood; prolife; whitehouse; zerocare

Maybe someone needs to come out and tell them they are full of crap. Or better yet, “you mean you haven’t seen these gruesome videos about ghouls killing babies, sucking their bodies out of unsuspecting black women and selling them on the open market for profit, and yet you and the white house have the audacity to pass judgement?”

Alinsky rule. If you call them morons and make fun of them, they fold like a cheap suitcase.

Claiming they haven’t seen them (including Senators who voted to continue funding) accomplishes several things for them:

1 - Claiming (aka - lying) they haven’t seen them, prevents follow-up questions from our conveniently uninterested media

2 - creates an aura of unimportance / believability

3 - discourages their constituents from watching / seeking out the videos

All planned PR...

Another lie from the ostriches in the Obama administration who seemingly never leave the building, use technology, or read. How such illiterates are able to turn on a faucet or find a doorway, let alone run a nation is questionable.
