White House Urges ‘Extreme Caution’ To Viewers of Project Veritas Videos
Breitbart ^ | October 19, 2016 | Charlie Speirling

The Obama administration warns that Americans and journalists should be skeptical of material coming from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. During the White House press briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest warned that Americans and journalists should take Project Veritas videos “not just with a grain of salt but maybe even a whole package of salt.”

“Despite what the name might suggest, these videos have not often revealed the truth,” Earnest said, though he admitted that many Democrats had been forced out of their jobs as a result of O’Keefe’s work.

Robert Creamer, a top Democratic operative featured in the video, stepped down from his position after he admitted in the video that he was actively trying to incite violence at opposing political rallies.

Earnest said that he was “reluctant” to comment on the videos themselves, but talked about the topic of “birddogging” opposing rallies.

In general, Earnest said, the notion of inciting violence in an opposing candidate’s campaign was contrary to Obama’s views of community organizing.

“We shouldn’t have to resort to violence and in fact it is completely inappropriate to resort to violence to advance a political goal,” he said, calling it a principle that President Obama “strongly believed in.”

The same Obama who exhorted his followers to get into his opponents' faces? Who said, 'if they bring a knife, we'll bring a gun'?
That Obama?
Earnest must've meant Malik.

Oh, they can deny it. They may not be able to deny it believably, but that has never stopped them before.

Re: 37
I figured someone would beat me to that comment. I scanned the first 20 posts and didn't see Obama's plea for violence reference, so I made similar reference - way down on Post 103. Had I read to 37, I wouldn't have made the redundant remark.

Every day the White House and the rest of the government machine talks more and more like the Junta running some crooked South American kleptocracy.

This election has not changed the reality. It has made the true nature of this system crystal clear to anyone who will see. We suspected. Now we KNOW.

Please use caution....in viewing the video of our organized brown shirting. The perpetrator of this crime met with Obama hundreds of times for one reason: To get the marching orders for his thugs.

This is state sponsored terrorism.

Josh probably answered Who? I will have to do some research and get back to you by the end of December. Seems to be a very common name so we can’t be too sure if its the same guy.

Yeah..that comment “In general....” set off bells. As in but not always being implied. Thus a definite Klintonian response that can be finagled as desired.

Don’t believe the idea and recorded words, only believe the idiot behind the curtain that was darker caught spying on the press and our allies.
