O'Keefe and Breitbart launch Great American Rehab Tour on GMA

It's pretty simple, actually. Commit a crime in the name of 'creating chaos for glory', call yourself an activist, strike a self-righteous pose where all criminal acts are justifiable when the goal is to 'expose corruption', and just like that, the world will forget what a sniveling, snarky, evil little weasel you really are while George Stephanopoulis lobs softball questions your way.

That's Andrew Breitbart's formula for the rehabilitation of James O'Keefe, his golden boy undercover video pimp. And what better target for O'Keefe than the census workers who already face unnecessary danger, thanks to the right-wing hysterics who claim they are agents of Dark Forces Against Liberty?

O'Keefe's short stint as a Census worker is the latest in a controversial string of attempts to expose alleged government waste or wrongdoing. He said he considers himself an investigative journalist, while critics have labeled him a political activist.

O'Keefe became an overnight sensation last year after he and a friend posed as a pimp and a prostitute to secretly record ACORN workers giving them advice on how to cheat on their taxes. The videos led to a massive political backlash and led to the community organizer's being shut down.

"This is not a left or right thing," he said of his stings. "This is about exposing corruption."

I'll call BS on that. If I learned anything from Breitbart's little panel with John Amato a couple of weeks ago, it's this: Andrew Breitbart doesn't know or care about today's issues. He is a man on a mission. The only thing that gets him excited is the possibility that he can put the screws to the people he hates. That's all. Nothing more. No altruistic love for politics or people or even conservative values.

1. O'Keeffe got a lenient sentence for what he did.

Why is that?

[Bolo Boffin]

2. "Oooooh, I got paid for four hours of work I didn't do!"

What a couple of limp-dick motherfuckers.

[TheEuclideanOne]

5. No shit

This guy comes across as the kind of guy who would do just that.

I also love the way Stephanopolous just lets them talk over the point where he points out just what hypocrites they are. Why not stick with the point that the lies O'keefe is peddling are documented in his own journal? What a pussy he is. Just let this weeny fillibuster and does not stick to one negative aspect of this guy's story. You know, the ones reflected by our legal system?

3. My only question is....

Did George Stephonopolous blow Breitbart and O'keefe before the interview or after it?

[liberation]

4. Does it have to be an "OR" proposition?

[butterfly77]

6. That last sentence about being..

corrupt.He needs to start with his own party.

[proud patriot]

7. poor deluded kid thinks he's leader of a "journalistic movement"

:spray: :rofl:

[nonoxy9]

8. Brietbart and his boy-toy O'Keefe! What a joke!

These tools can't even do a puff interview one on one, they have to come with a team to outnumber the interviewer like they're on FAUX news. I can't wait for the day these criminals get hoisted on their own "journalistic' pitar!

[Crowman1979]

9. Would the sellout-media please stop giving these two uber-douchebags extra attention!?!?!

[Aslanspal]

10. Can't watch this because George Stepoffacliffwithus...

....is a weeny ..and will always be a weeny

[olegramps]

12. I agree, he is a puke. Nothing more than a corporate asshole.

[SILVER__FOX52]

11. I wonder if this idiot, O'keefe realizes

how bizzar he is? He acts like he is mentally challenged. And how about Stephanopoulis. Is it me, or does this fucker get weirder every year?

13. ABC has taken a noticeable swing to the right!!

Every time Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck or Billo start their claim that all other media but them is left wing media the rest of the media inch even further to the right! I have not figured out if the MSM is looking to so how pick off some FOX viewers (Simply NOT gonna happen) or if MSM are simply trying to look like they are not biased (Which plays right into the hands of Roger Ailes) or if this is simply a complete break down of journalism...Probably all of the above which is why the Democrats will always be fighting a losing battle as far as getting the message out is concerned!

14. Yeah, saw it on TV yesterday

softballs indeed
