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.
