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.”

At least he didn’t say their wasn’t a smidgen of truth...
WH Press Sec has to be the hardest job in the world. To stand up there day after day and recite this BS convincingly.
State Dept SPOX is another one. They dumped the young girl with straight red hair and went to this guy now. but ...
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.
Well he did say “in general”.
Josh needs to stop letting his alligator mouth overload his hummingbird ass-vete a la chin*** Josh...
I am so stealing that cartoon later!
LOL!
Took the words right out of my fingers...
“PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!”
- Barack Obama.
You mean the same caution the WH shows when a cop shoots a black thug?
Pray America wakes
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.
because is devastating to our case ...
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.
Kramer! oh the guy from Seinfeld.
Oh gee, me phone only changes two parts of that last post.
