Right-Wing Filmmaker James O’Keefe Busted
[su_center_ad]Radical right wing activist James O’Keefe is at it again, using his usual tactics of attempting to induce Democratic activists to violate the law and, failing that, editing his video “evidence” to make it seem that they have. Last week O’Keefe took his video equipment and Project Veritas “actors” to Charlotte, North Carolina, to attempt to…

He has no other way of extending his 15 minutes of fame except by lying.

BINGO!

O’Keefe is one scummy POS. No one can name a democratic cheat and liar that does these kinds of shenanigans. I think the GOP should be investigated for not going after this wing-nut.

And if anyone thinks illegals aren’t voting you live in a fantasy land. That’s one of the reasons liberals don’t want verifiable voter ID.
Carla Akins November 2nd, 2014 at 7:42 am
Right, because people looking to avoid attracting any attention to themselves are known to present themselves to a governing body for close personal scrutiny. Get a grip, these people are not trying to register or vote, they’re trying to stay under the radar.

You can’t just hurl crap and think that anyone will believe you. Or as we call it, trolling.
Tommy6860 November 2nd, 2014 at 7:51 am
What interesting, is the crap they hurl cannot be substantiated. Ask them for proof, they either offers link to Breitbart, WND, Daily Caller, or they disappear.

It isn’t the ID required, it is the type. Gun permits are fine in states like NC and TX with long histories of voter restrictions on minorities but college IDs (who vote overwhelmingly Democratic) are not. In TX, if the name on a woman’s driver license doesn’t match the name on her birth certificate, (what if she took her husband’s name?) she cannot use her DL as proper ID to vote. In addition, voter fraud as a problem is a constantly debunked myth perpetuated by people like you who also think ISIS fighters are at the Mexican border with Ebola backpacks and scimitars ready to infect and behead us.

The REAL problem is election fraud. Phoney mailers (see other threads), rigged voting machines, scrubbing voter registration rolls of names that sound ‘black’ or Hispanic. Denying sufficient voting machines to minority precincts, the list goes on.

Very nice.

Poor wayout. You just can’t fix stupid.

The worst part is, he’s not even trying to fix his stupid.

I remember that episode. More fun than a barrel of James O’Keefe

The reason right wingers like you want voter ID is to minimize the number of people who vote.
The founding father of modern conservatism Paul Weyrich unequivocally stated that it should be the goal of conservatives to minimize the number of people who vote.
Do you think that all of us are as stupid as the low-information TeaPartiers? We have information right in front of our noses which clearly outlines the right wing agenda and we are supposed to believe the bullsh*t about the integrity of the electoral process? Yeah right, and the Texas abortion clinic law as about safety. Fascinating how right wingers are so ashamed of their own agenda, they have to dress it up with happy-face lies.
You can lie all you want about illegals voting. I will rely on the facts to form my opinions and the fact is that it is a stated conservative goal to stop people from voting.

Back your claim up with facts or sit down and shut up.

Strange…You accuse others of living in a fantasy land, yet can offer no proof of your position. Do you know the difference between “fantasy” and “fact?”
tracey marie November 2nd, 2014 at 7:45 pm
how do they register? Without registration, verification of who you are and then being added to the voter rolls.

You think that’s why your touted Guber (R-teabagger PA) “Corbett has a 99% probability” of being thrown out Tuesday, November 4th by legally registered Voters each providing Certified Birth Certificates required by GWB’s 2002 HAVA? http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2014-pennsylvania-governor-corbett-vs-wolf

Let me know when O’Keefe is caught telling the truth. That will be news.

Crap! I read the headline and expected him behind bars.

Can any right winger provide a link to a voter id law that was proposed and signed into law during the administration of President George W. Bush or prior?
If you can, then perhaps I will reconsider my opinion about the intent of these id laws that you all are so enthusiastic about.
Until then, the facts can lead me to only one conclusion. Voter id is the manifestation of the conservative agenda goal to reduce voter turnout as stated by the co-founder of the Heritage Foundation and the Moral Majority, Paul Weyrich. There was no need for it when Republicans were winning elections. But the fact is that the GOP has now lost the popular vote in five of the last six Presidential elections. In 2012, on a nationwide basis, the total vote count for Democratic candidates to the House of Representatives, exceeded the total vote count for GOP candidates by 1.5million votes.
The demographics of this country are changing. Gerrymandering will not work forever.
Time and time again, the GOP base comes to forums like these and defends policies such as striking down the voting rights act, and closing polling locations in minority neighborhoods, which make it crystal clear that the GOP does not give a rat’s behind about the concerns of millions of blacks, Latinos and poor people.
Then the base wonders why those very people whose concerns are held in contempt by the GOP do not support conservatives. You spit in someone’s face then wonder why they don’t vote for the party expressing your ideas? Duh!
Who am I to believe, anonymous blog forum participants or my own lying eyes and ears? I am repeating myself with this link. But to date I have not heard a single conservative offer any logical explanation as to why it is unreasonable to conclude that voter id is nothing more than an attempt to accomplish the goal Weyrich states in his remarks.
You don’t want us to vote. We get the message loud and clear.
Tough sh*t.
I voted by mail this year. But I am planning to change my preferences for all coming elections and go vote at my local polling place. If any “True the Vote” ideologue dares question my eligibility to vote, they are going to get more than an earful in very impolite language.

I went onto deadcokeheadbreibartnazipieceofcrap dot com to have a little fun with the teabillies and broke down O’Keefe’s video for them, in which the “conversation” with Amick was chopped up and rearranged to make it sound like after he learned she was illegal he still told her she could vote when the reality is that she first told him she had her driver’s license and he said that she should be okay to vote using that as her ID. But O’douche edited the conversation to place that part after she said she was an illegal alien. Of course, right wing morons don’t care if this was another O’douche edit job similar to the one the South Park guys used after Isaac Hayes left the show.
