Shades of Watergate - NJ
[ In Reply To ..]Rove and company have been good at not getting arrested, staying on the edge of legality with their dirty tricks. This guy obviously fell off that edge.
NJ
Oh, that is so ridiculous. And what happened does not - make ACORN legit, still garbage.nm

Oh, for pete sakes. It wasn't GOP, it wasn't pubs. - Backwards Typist
[ In Reply To ..]It's a guy trying to make a name for himself. You think it's okay for ACORN to do what they did; i.e., cheat the IRS and the honest taxpayers? The kid did good there. It's just a shame that no one but Fox broke out the videos. Why didn't any of the 'mainstream' stations grab it when they had the chance?
He wanted an encore and probably didn't realize how much hot water he could get into with this. I'll bet he was trying to get more dirt on the senator.
The dems have been trying to get one on this kid ever since ACORN and now they have. I guess ACORN will ask for their funding back now and get it.
What are you talking about? - A few facts are in order. sm
[ In Reply To ..]The Fox news/conservative GOP wing’s ONLY reliable new source elevated this guy to demigod after the ACORN video release. They played it nonstop while other news organizations were engaging in more responsible breaking news coverage afer he was busted in the federal building.
O’Keefe is a pro-life activist who hatched another video sabotage scheme in 2006 against Planned Parenthood by pimpingâ€Â¦err, I mean sending an underage pregnant female do his so-called investigative reporting for him. He instructed her to lie about her age and sent her into a clinic to seek an abortion. He also posed as a donor to PP and specified funds should go to fund minorities seeking abortions because, “the less blacks kids out there, the better.” Then there was ACORN. Then there was breaking in and wiretapping of a DEMOCRATIC senator. Is this not classic right-wing nut job or what?
More telling support for this is your reaction. Oh, pooh-pooh. Just a prank. No biggie. He’s just a kid trying to make a name for himself. Boys will be boys, blah, blah, blah. You obviously have not read about this or you would know that there are no videosâ€Â¦.yet. Guess we will all be waiting to see what the investigation turns up as you should be, before speculating on his innocence and praising his motives.
Reality check. Breaking and entering federal property under false pretenses is a federal offense, punishable with up to 10 years in jail and $250,000 in fines. He dragged 3 other “kids” down with him. Bet their parents would be simply delighted by your understatment of the gravity of the situation.
I see you are trying to distance him from the party on whose behalf he is working. Cutting and running far and wide away from the hot seat and not giving a second thought to owning up. Blind to the appropriate Watergate comparison. Was that also OK by you since they were trying to dig up dirt? Only thing wrong was they got caught? Prankster excuses didn’t stick, remember?
Yep, this definitely is a pub problem already. Stay tuned and watch as the plot thickens.
You forgot to add with intent to commit a felony - to the felony charge. nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
blah, blah, blah - Not a Pub problem
[ In Reply To ..]Do stay tuned and maybe you can come back with some straight facts. You are really good at spinning and twisting words, don't you ever get dizzy or just darn tired.
My bad. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I spin words, but not fact.
Speaking of spinning, I forgot how fast the party scrambles to disown their foot soldiers once the going gets tough. Okeefe was a party hero. Now look at him. Nobody wants to hear anything about him.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/health/sc-dc-okeefe-20100127,0,3624909.story
O'Keefe's actions speak for themselves. A conservative media outlet pays his salary. His partner's daddy is an acting republican US Attorney General for the Western District of Louisiana and another GOP golden boy himself. Flanagan Jr. works for a conservative think tank. Dai and Basel are similarly predisposed.
I think that give you some idea of what lies behind the biographies of these fellows. I've done my homework. There is more. Research it yourself, but do not expect to find anything to support your contention that there is no connection between these guys and the GOP establishment. If nothing else, itis safe to say they have encouraged the methods, results and outcomes of their boots on the ground.
Please notice I did not jump to the conclusion and speculate about higher-up involvement. I am content to stand by and watch the story tel itself, but connection to pub AGs and sitting candidates is enough to support the notion that this is most definitely a pub problem.
Blah, blah, blah would be the bankrupt GOP preaching on owning responsibility and the hypocrisy they demonstrate when it comes their turn.
BTW, BWT, O'Keefe salary paid by Breitbart. and his partner Flanagan is - son of pub AG out of New Orleans LA
[ In Reply To ..]Breitbart being conservative news media honcho who runs Big Government site. That republican attorney general dad connection thingy may prove interesting, may not. We shall see.
It wasn't us - NJ
[ In Reply To ..]You say it wasn't the GOP and go on to defend it, illegal as it was. That is a huge problem.
You want to win, and you seem to think the means justify the ends. To put it frankly, the country is struggling because of people like you who don't mind cheating to get their way.
BT, you own the dirty tricks. Thanks for admitting it.
NJ
Just another spin doctor - in the house
[ In Reply To ..]No one is defending what O'Keefe did, but if he is found guilty, he will have to pay for it. That's the bottom line.
As far as the country struggling that is because of our money-hungry, greedy government now being run by a progressive/marxist president. We owe a lot of it to the progressives who think they are the do-gooders, that's why we are in the mess we are in. Talk about dirty tricks, progressives and liberals wrote the book on it.
Uh, hello ..ACORN rigs everything!! and they always - represent dems. Dont even go there.nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
BTDT. That was then, this is now. New story. U R right. - Not there. Here. sm
[ In Reply To ..]Lessons from the past. Not owning up only makes it worse for the culpable.
delve into their backgrounds before you - Tootle
[ In Reply To ..]jump to their defense. they all have long and legitimate ties to the republican party. But that doesnt matter to you. You care desperately about someone Obama spoke briefly with for 10 minutes years ago, but discuss the repub campaign manager as just a "kid"
Well, whatever. ACORN was scum yesterday, still - scum today..no change there.nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. - Whatever. nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Yep, must be why dems keep losing their seats. - Dallas

Make that seat, as in monus one. It is January, not November. - Remember? nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Been losing some other races though... - like Governor, just as important.nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
To soothsayers, clairvoyants, fortunetellers and - tarot card readers. sm
[ In Reply To ..]I am a believer in signs and I stand corrected on the singular versus plural point. Governors are local leaders. I thought we were talking about realtime national politics, but I'm game if you want to go local.
We could count candidates, talk campaign strategies, analyze election results and even get into a little projection of future significance in terms of outcomes and significance to national party majorities and minorities.
Considering that all democrats are not equal and all republicans are not equal (in terms of centrist, moderate, left and right sided leanings), the validity index of predictions and what they mean in terms of national party affiliations becomes a bit shakey.
Best stick with the concrete substance of the national congressional leadership. That's where it's at, regarding issues that affect us all.
Repubs never seem to learn from their - hunter/gatherer
[ In Reply To ..]mistakes. Its like they have a criminal bent or something. Speaking of bent criminals, Cheney and spawn seem to have been silent last week or 2.
To learn from mistakes, first they have to be recognized, then owned. - Some players never get to 1st base. nm

Beck and Hannity - gatherer/hunter
[ In Reply To ..]Do not mention pimp's break in although ran acorn stunt by same indiv over and over. No wonder the nattering nabobs of negativity are so ill-informed. OReilly suggests Pelosi be kidnapped and waterboarded. Fox did not run Haiti telethon but "very concerned" over how that money will be spent.
re Haiti telethon, they had reason for concern where - money was going. When hollyweird
[ In Reply To ..]had one for Katrina, millions that generous Americans gave to it got wasted and they still dont know what happened to it. I will NEVER give to one of those again... only directly to Red Cross. Dont judge EVERYTHING Fox does as negative. You can be getting scammed without even realizing.
Fox fans beware. Did you know - sm
[ In Reply To ..]that the American Red Cross is non-Christian affiliate of an international (as in, gasp, GLOBAL) federation of chapters that redistributes wealth from top to bottom to socialists and full-blown commies? That funding decisions are based on poverty-stricken geography whose populations demonstrate most dire need, don’t work, don’t go and have never been to school, can’t read or write, don’t have bootstraps by which they can pull themselves up and are looking for their next handout cuz their lives depend on it?
Did you know that the Red Cross is blind to race, creed, and sexual orientation of recipients, that many of them could care less about the sanctity of marriage, practice abortion, BREED and populate the world with children born outside of wedlock? Do you know how much money is being siphoned off by the Red Crescent, the arm of the Red Cross that services Moslem countries, coordinates with mosques that harbor suspected terrorists every single day of the year?
Do you REALLY know how safe your contributions are? Aren’t you worried that Beck, Hannity or Limbaugh might be able to trace those funds back to you, lock you up in offshore detention camps and torture the daylights out of you until you confess? Are you SURE you know where your money is going? Really?
I guessed you missed the point, but that - is understandable
[ In Reply To ..]Do you really know what you are talking about, i.e., your last paragraph, REALLY?
The point was elementary. I took the ball and ran with it. - You fumbled and missed the catch. nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
What was that rant? YOUR point was ? - Sure seem paranoid there.nm

MORE brownshirt activities by the Repukes - smokethis
[ In Reply To ..]OK come on ACORN attackers, defend THIS:
(CNN) -- A conservative activist who made undercover videos of the liberal community-organizing group ACORN was one of four men charged Tuesday with attempting to illegally access and manipulate the phone system in a district office of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.
DISCLAIMER: This post is NOT about ACORN, which I feel sure will resurface after having corrected issues they are under fire for. In the meantime, the JERK who 'exposed' (supposedly) ACORN is likely a criminal*.
So don't change the subject if you reply.
* yes, he's innocent until proven guilty, but it don't look too good for him on that count :)
I do hope they get to the bottom of this - because this guy
[ In Reply To ..]a conservative did good work in exposing those jerks at ACORN, an organization that is full of criminals. Thanks to Mr. O'Keefe, ACORN will always be a dirty name; ACORN goes hand in hand with obama.
