White House rips Forbes article
Washington Post ^ | 09/16/10 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 09/16/2010 11:13:52 AM PDT by DFG

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."

"..so lacking in truth and fact,"

Lacking in truth and fact? Every point made in the article was lifted verbatium from Obama's "autobiography".

Petty people, attacking a entire publication for an article which they don't like.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen -- please!

D’Souza’s article used the Prez’s own non-sensical actions to demonstrate what possible lunacy was used to get to those decisions.(I especially love the one about Churchill’s bust) No one with a working brain could fail to see that he scored MANY direct hits.

Unless you’re Biden or Gibbsy. Dumba$$ alerts!!

“…Obama subscribes to “Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior…”

Just as his father subscribed to: Kill Whitey first then decide what should be done with the rest.

Now, Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior… makes Obama a Mau Mau! Pure Racism based on color of one’s skin not character!!!!!!

"I think it represents a new low."

This from people who are the very definition of low.

He certainly just compared Obama's actions with his statements from his "autobiography" and also cited quotes from his father's speeches.

Uh oh. The re-education list got a little longer.

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

Obama had brought his Third World mentality to the governing of the U.S. The recent threat against health insurers who pass increased costs on to customers due to Obamacare is just one example. Third World dictator tactics.

Obama does not see America as exceptional in human history. Rather he sees the prosperity of the country as ill-gotten gain that has to be redistributed to the world to assure our collective salvation.

His perspective on America is one of an alien. Our nation is an experiment for socialist theories.

Yes. Down to his channeling his drunk-driver-killer father’s spirit through the “red African dirt.”

Goebbels, er, Gibbs wants “truth and fact”

sure, and he seems never to have noticed that his boss wrote a memoir in a young radical’s quest for “Dreams From My Father”

He must be talking about Vanity Fair.

So, nationalize Forbes Magazine and have Dinesh D’Souza hung with piano wire. You know you WANT to, Bobby Gibbs, you Obama-worshipping thug.

(Only Bobby is too big of a junior high school wuss to pull it off.)

It's only natural for Americans to wonder what is behind Obama's perverse policies and personality.

He (Obama) introduces himself as a messiah, spends an inordinate amount of time golfing and vacationing, kills the economy, sides with out enemies, destroys the oil industry, burdens our children with an oppressive debt laden future, opens the borders, fans the flames of racism, refuses to release any personal records that tell us who he is, seems obsessed with reaching out to the muslim world...

He does all this and more...and then wonders why we seek knowledge of the one thing that explains it all.
