White House rips Forbes article

Dinesh D'Souza has drawn a torrent of criticism with a Forbes cover story that accuses President Obama of adopting "the cause of anti-colonialism" from his Kenyan father.

But while most detractors focus on the author--and Newt Gingrich, who embraced the critique--the White House is aiming its ammunition at the business magazine.

"It's a stunning thing, to see a publication you would see in a dentist's office, so lacking in truth and fact," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says in an interview. "I think it represents a new low."

Must be the article hit real close to the mark.

The article was right on target. Good idea about the dentist offices. I'm going to buy some more copies today for local dentist and doctor office distribution. Heck, who would notice a guy going into a waiting room and innocently placing a magazine on the coffee table?

The flack is always heaviest when you’re flying over the target.

......”It’s a stunning thing, to see a publication you would see in a dentist’s office, so lacking in truth and fact,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says in an interview. “.....

“Dentist’s office” my foot!!!! Forbes is also widely used as a source of facts and ideas by large numbers of business and professional people!

Forbes is a lot more reliable than the likes of “Baghdad Bob” and his smarmy muslim communist boss!!!!

"It's a stunning thing, to see a publication you would see in a dentist's office, so lacking in truth and fact,"

Ouch. I guess that article must have hurt the Zero quite a lot.

That's what happens when you visit a dentist's office, Robbie. Just take your punishment and move on. Other patients are waiting for their turns.

Every point made in the article was lifted verbatium from Obama's "autobiography".

When someone else writes your autobiography sometimes it's hard to remember what you said in it.

Obama's anti-American upbringing is finally seeping out into the mainstream.

It's too bad it didn't come out in '08. Obama is now answering to info he should have been answering to during the campaign.

"Obama is a post-American president. That’s why the rest of the globe celebrated his victory - it was a symbol of American decline."

Well it is widely known the Bidens brain cells are only loosely connected together and You cannot believe anything the Minister of Propaganda says.

WHERE does she get these clothes? </retorical question>

[Secret Agent Man]

Living rent-free in Obama’s and Gibb’s heads.

The truth HURTS, FIBBY!!

Funny Gibbs quote from the article:

Gibbs says the Forbes attack comes at a time when there is "no limit to innuendo" against the president, including baseless charges that he is a Muslim and was not born in the United States. Forbes, he says, "left the facts on the cutting-room floor."

Well, Bobby, all you need to do is prove it. Give us the real birth certificate and open all of the Illegal's and Moochelle's records, including Illinois bar records.

By the way, why was Moochelle squeezed out of the Illinois bar like the putrescent contents of a ripe pustule.

WHERE does she get these clothes?

In the back of mamma Robinson's closet.

Every time they do this, they give the story life and legs.

“Lacking in truth and fact? Every point made in the article was lifted verbatium from Obama’s “autobiography”. “

So what? It is not only possible to accept the “autobiography” as entirely true while excoriating Businesseek for telling lies, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for the inevitable victory of oligarchical collectivism. Just review the tenets of doublethink.

IBD published a very similar editorial in ‘08 but nobody paid attention.
