Unofficial White House Spokesman Turned Official White House Spokesman Linda Douglass: Obama Was Taken Out of Context When He Kept Saying His Plan Would Elminate Private Coverage
Update: Drudge and Breitbart fire back by posting the unedited, uncut version of Obama's remarks. Judge for yourself if he's being taken "out of context."
...
Linda Douglass, the reporterette who made it official and started drawing a paycheck from Obama, claims that that viral video of Obama and Barney Frank discussing the private option as a pathway to eliminating private insurance is racist.
Well, they don't say racist, but racist is defined as anything Obama doesn't want to discuss.
No wonder Obama holds Sonia Sotomayor in such high regard. Like that judge, Obama too has been taken out of context in his prepared, scripted, clearly phrased remarks.
Oh, and they'll be using astroturfing to counterattack.
Dan Pfeiffer, the White House deputy communications director, said: “We intend to use a lot of the grassroots viral Internet techniques from the campaign to beat back the campaign of misstatements and outright falsehoods about the president’s efforts to reform health insurance.”
