1) It amazes me that people will still take O'Keefe's videos at face value right away when he's already been proven to be a huckster (see: the ACORN videos)

2) This sorta reminds me of the Sherry Sherrod incident. People pay dearly for these fraudulent videos and everyone else seems to bend to pressure by the rightwing media before the truth even gets out.


edit:


Also, the $5 million donation being accepted by O'Keefe's phony 'muslim' group is also a fabrication as well, what a surprise

Just a little flashback on the ACORN video, O'Keefe's boss, Andrew Breibart, even claims he was duped by O'Keefe:

And when a District Attorney and law enforcement official viewed the tapes?

"On Sept. 15, 2009, my office began an investigation into possible criminality on the part of three ACORN employees," Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said in a one-paragraph statement issued Monday afternoon.

"That investigation is now concluded and no criminality has been found."

While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

Okeefe the republican hatchet-man. Generate some phony story and have fox news and right-wing radio amplify it as fact. Since NPR never took the muslim "blood money" all they had was the typical liberal bias argument against NPR. Some scandal.

Fox News Sunday their so called legitimate news program ran a feature on O'Douche.

Like Vince McMahon's organization they should be forced to change their name to Fox Entertainment Channel

Have to admit I did appreciate the repeated gratuitous shots of Hannah Giles

I don't which stuns me more, the fact that Glen Beck actually has fact checkers or that they would go against the Faux News spin.

I wonder if Beck will be leaving Faux ala Olbermann departing MSNBC?

It's amazing how silent the right is after they were so arrogant before.
