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?

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.
