White House Admits To ‘Merely Repeating’ Planned Parenthood Talking Points
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | July 30, 2015 | Daniel Bassali

Posted on 07/30/2015 5:38:34 PM PDT by ocr1

White House spokesman Josh Earnest conceded on Thursday to “merely repeating” what Planned Parenthood has released in response to a series of videos of the organization’s executives discussing the sale of aborted fetal tissue.

“I’m merely repeating what I’ve seen that they [Planned Parenthood] have said,” Earnest said, catching himself mid-sentence.

Earnest accidentally confirmed Breitbart reporter Charlie Spiering’s assertion the White House was adopting Planned Parenthood’s talking points without reviewing the evidence.

Earnest said he suspected someone in the White House had watched the undercover Planned Parenthood footage, but said he is unsure if the president has seen any of the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, whom he referred to as “extremists on the right.”

The White House spokesperson maintained, despite not seeing the videos, the tapes were “grossly distorted” and “selectively edited.”

So I guess the spokesman for Obama Inc is now also the spokesman for PP.

Of course the video's are edited. How long was the lunch: an hour, more? Are they going to post them ordering or the opening of the wine bottle(s)?

What they are not saying is that the words spoken were false.

Planned Parenthood donated $12 million to Obama’s re-election campaign.

I am of the opinion that if Dylann Roof had donated $12 million to that campaign the White House would be telling us that he was a misunderstood Biblical scholar who had suffered an unfortunate gun-cleaning accident.

Well, PP DID hire Anita Dunn’s (Mao is my favorite philosoher AND fromer WH Communications Dricetor for Obama and Company) PR firm for damage control. So, I guess the WH will be spouting the PP talking points, yes.

Here is my take. The cat is out of the bag. 10% of the abortions are resulting in a live birth. State prosecutors should be descending upon every planned parenthood office as we speak, looking for information about these live births. If the number is truly that high, the crap is going to hit the fan as the biggest scandal in U.S. history.

You think 10%?

The ones that do should be arrested for murder.

They want low-information people to think “edited” means they dubbed in all the dialogue.

Oops. The unpardonable sin in the Obama administration: you said the truth in public without permission.

She said 10% intact fetuses so yeah that’s exactly what is going on. If it were even 1/100 of a percent it would still be unimaginable.
These people need to pay. the ones doing it. The ones defending it, and the ones covering it up. And the chuckleheads want to go after the people that filmed the horrors.

Kind of like the MSM reporting on the Obama Administration. Grossly distorted and selectively edited!

If they find out babies were being killed in these offices that had been born alive, there will be hell to pay.

Actually no.

They post two videos, one which is the whole things and one which is the "greatest hits" version.

The second is the one most people watch but the whole thing is available for review.

This makes it possible for anyone to check to see if there is any editing.

Very few check.they watch the highllights, which then make the news. Yes they are edited, the ones the people are watching. But the real point is the editing does not alter the fact that what PP is doing is atrocious.
