Time's Gibbs repeated falsehood that Bill Clinton referred to Obama's candidacy as a "fairy tale"

SUMMARY: In a Time article, Nancy Gibbs wrote that Bill Clinton "hacked away at the 'fairy tale' that is [Barack] Obama's candidacy." In fact, Clinton did not refer to Obama or his campaign as a "fairy tale"; rather, as New York Times reporter Mark Leibovich wrote, Clinton "was referring specifically to the perception that Mr. Obama was totally pure in his opposition to the Iraq war."
