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.

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

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!

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.

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.
