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.”

“Earnest urged viewers to have “extreme caution” with Project Veritas videos.
“Time and time and time again, the information that was released by this organization was a lot different than initial reports would indicate,” he said.
Earnest dodged questions about reports that Creamer had visited the White House 342 times and met personally with Obama 47 times.
“I’m not sure that I can describe it, because, I’m not sure there is much of one,” he said, when asked to describe Obama’s relationship with the Democratic operative.”
Will the visitor log now be “wiped - like, with a cloth?”
Spin, spin, spin.........
It’s a wonder he doesn’t get dizzy.
There’s a special place in Hell for Josh Earnest! His day is coming!
Um, they are ACTUAL VIDEOS of DNC and Hillary related people making statements. What’s to question, you asshat?
/obviously not directed toward the Freeper OP
Don’t believe your lyin’ ears peasants, we’ll tell you what to believe.
I’ll make up my own mind. GFY Obama.
That’s a good one. The Enemy in Chief tell US to use caution. Well you’re eight years too late. in 2008, you should have urged voters to be cautious about voting you in Mr. Obama.
*White House Urges ‘Extreme Caution’ To Viewers of Project Veritas Videos*
Target locked, commence bombardment
More lies from Obama.
More lies, spin, shucking and jiving by this admin. The lies and dodging never stop. Truth has no meaning to these people. They have no use for truth.
A very Clintonian vehement non-denial, there, Josh. Kudos, you've learned it well.
Who are you going to believe? Me or your own eyes?
“How come Robert Creamer visited the White House 340 times including 40 personal meetings with President Obama”?
Asked no US “Journalist” ever.
Did he remind them if they want to keep their doctor, they can keep their doctor? If they like their insurance plan, they can keep that too? That their health care premiums would go down by $2,500? That the deficit will be cut in half by the time Obama leaves office?
Shall I go on?
Wasn’t us who let the ex-con crook into the WH, boy. Wasn’t us who fired his ass. Wasn’t us who did anything remotely like this a any Hillary rallies.
So embrace the suck pal because it sucks to be you and it’s gonna get worse.
Yes. But I’m frankly shocked he was even asked about this during his presser.
[ sniff sniff ]
... is that fear I smell under that collar, Mr. Press Secretary?
