So James
O'Keefe is a rising star thanks to his videos with Hannah
Giles exposing some of the (one hopes) ugliest practices of
ACORN. But in fact his resume is longer than that. He also helped
with a series of
similarly undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood engaging
in flagrant racism and covering up statutory rape.
But even before that, as an undergraduate, he exposed a lot of
reflexively left-wing professors and administrators at Rutgers.
In 2006, I think, he came out with a video in which he convinced
a Rutgers administrator to ban Lucky Charms from the cafeteria
for being racist toward Irish people. I was writing for my school
paper at the time, and I don't think I've ever been as envious of
someone for an coming up with an idea as I was when I saw the
video.

When the Supreme Court gets done with the Washington Redskins
perhaps the next case will be the Fighting Irish.

James, you have outdone yourself...stop making me laugh so hard!
Jim Pepe| 9.17.09 @ 4:38PM
I applaud James for his unearthing corruption at ACORN. But let's
not kid ourselves... corruption knows no political leaning, no
left, no right. In all cases, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Corrupt lobbying
by well-funded corporations have long lined the pockets and -- in
the case of the recently unseated conservative, "family values"
California Assemblyman -- the loins of the corruptible. James, if
you truly want to do a service to ALL, please shed your
"conservative activist" label and target the other side of the
aisle for once. After all, "conservative" can never be mistaken
for uncorruptible.

Jim,
There are actually organizations with abundant resources who have
as their main goal uncovering errs in judgement by conservatives
and covering up those of liberals.
They start with The Justice Department, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and go
right on down the line to Educators, Unions, Liberal Bloggers and
organizations like Move On and Center for Racial Justice.
One Little James O'keefe on the other side shining a candle on
something dirty shouldn't offend your sensibilities unless...you
prefer not to see that little light.

You are absolutely right! If you are saying that the Justice
Department is all about "uncovering errs in judgement by
conservatives and covering up those of liberals", then you know
what you are talking about. I can't wait until the Justice
Department opens a case against the Bush Adminstration for war
crimes to impeach him, just like what happened to Clinton. Anyday
now...
All joking aside, the Justice Department has no history of being
against conservatives. If you want to make to find real biase in
a department of government, look at the CIA's record of
corruption and overthrowing leaders in different countries for
the interest of oil and gas corporations. I believe they now have
a oil refinery in Iraq just a matter of a few months after
intense fighting with that country ended. Weapons of mass
destruction...HA!
You are just trying to find an enemy to fight against and neglect
the real evil that lives among us--and that's greed. Everyone
including republicans, democrats, independents, conservative,
liberals, churches, corporations etc. all are greedy and it
causes people to make up lies about each other for the sake of
money and power, and basically do nothing for the betterment of
the country.
Because face it, what did O'keefe do for this country? Nothing.
All he really did is cement his own career, period. If he cared
about saving taxpayers' money, and busting Acorn, he would have
worked with the police department right after the findings in the
first video. Instead he used tricks of doctor the tape to create
a huge "scandal" that they themselves created, which is called
entrapment-- the word of the day! It was just a giant
entertainment bananza so he and Hannah could be seen. The worst
part about it is where is the rage over them using wiretapping
and entrapment to get "confessions" out of these workers. If it
WASN'T good enough for Bush and his "patriot" act, then why
should it be good enough for "patriot" O'keefe and his fake
tapes. He needs to do what is right and be an example, and not
just preach about it to others. Because he needs to start busting
himself for fake reporting and commiting a crime to get a story.

Who will help the old, under privileged?
The weak and the poor?
There are many people who want to testify of the atrocities of
the FBI and Mormon Church but they will not if they have no
protection.
If you are sure about me then at least interview my children
before you talk to the witnesses. Or have we forgot to care about
children
Ask my son how many times someone asked him to get in there car
and my daughter being group coming home from school
Shun a movie producer maybe dead homeless people have come up
missing
They the FBI will lie and not confase easily, take credence in
what I say to you that verily these people want to be caught and
with alacrity but that want to do it as men. Maybe some have the
propensity to remind us of what really happen to King, Malcolm
and Kennedy. Perhaps they are contrite so do them a favor and
help them to be caught.
I can produce more witness than you need but they will not it
with protection.

He's right on track to become a new leftist bugbear. A real badge of honor.
