The latest issue of WorldNetDaily’s Whistleblower Magazine is one long hatchet job on Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, and David Kupelian’s essay on her encapsulates the smears.
Kupelian repeats his earlier denigration of President Obama as “a pathological narcissist with an absurdly grandiose view of yourself and almost no tolerance for criticism and disagreement” and further insults him by calling him “a mixed-race child abandoned by his drunk, bigamist, communist father, and who later also lost his Muslim Indonesian stepfather to divorce.”
But the article is about Jarrett, and Kupelian saves most of his venom for her. He repeats WND’s earlier libel of her as “the night stalker” — thus likening her to notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez, whose “Night Stalker” moniker was allegedly devised by Kupelian’s boss, Joseph Farah — and even goes on to call her “Obama’s Rasputin,” adding, “we are confronted with another breed of out-of-touch czar.”
Funny thing about Kupelian’s diatribe, though — none of the claims he makes about Jarrett can be traced to an on-the-record sources. Kupelian cites several writers who in turn cite unnamed or anonymous sources. Chief among them is Edward Klein, for whom Kupelian tries to construct a patina of legitimacy by describing him as a former “foreign editor of Newsweek and editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine.” In fact, he’s a right-winger who has written a hatchet job on Hillary Clinton and co-wrote an embarrassing self-published novel treating every crazy Obama conspiracy as fact.
By passing this screed off as some sort of investigative journalism, Kupelian is demonstrating why nobody believes WND.
