4. I was thinking the same thing.
You only need to hear one word: "O'Keefe". From that point on, zero credibility.

12. Double sting idea ...
Edited on Tue Oct-11-11 05:55 PM by Fantastic Anarchist
Have people go up to O'Keefe saying they want to help sting OWS, but really secretly record the plan on how he's going to spin it to make OWS look bad. Wait for O'Keefe to send his edited video out, then release all unedited conspiring. Sting the stinger.

Edit: Posting from my phone.

15. C. He is a clown. D. The clown has fans. E. Those fans have to be stupid in order to be a fan of his
Monkey Man City Bingo. Don't you think his parents are proud of him? And don't you think they just love having him live with them?
It really is funny that he thinks he's a journalist.

16. That's "filmmaker"
Of course that's six of one half a dozen of another, since calling him a filmmaker is an insult to people who make porno movies in their garage...

31. Fox "News" has previously described him as a 'conservative filmmaker'-
Edited on Wed Oct-12-11 05:58 PM by WhoIsNumberNone
-but either way. Calling him an investigative journalist is an insult to the hillbilly women at the gossip fence.

7. So he found some idiots
I can find idiots at a chess tournament, or at a science fair. Idiots are everywhere.

Then there are the hundreds of thousands of people who are not interviewed on the tape. Most of them not idiots and most of them know exactly why they're there and what's going on. There are also the ones who gave coherent answers that he did interview...but edited out.

So what's the point?

17. So what's the point?
Actually, you made the point.

1. You can find idiots everywhere.
2. If you can find idiots everwhere you can interview some of them and hope one or two will say something stupid.
3. You then broadcast the two idiots saying stupid things along with a running commentary that they represent ALL the people that are there.
4. You broadcast this to YOUR group of idiots, and they'll all believe your generalization BECAUSE they're idiots. And that works because...
5. ...you can find idiots EVERYWHERE.

It's a common political hit tactic that's been used since the days of Caesar. Find a couple of idiots from the other side doing idiotic things. Use them to stir up and otherwise activate ALL of YOUR idiots into doing stupid things which are, hopefully, in opposition to what the other side is doing.

18. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what HE was hoping would happen.
Dressed up in a suit, carrying a briefcase, trying to look like a Wall Street broker (and failing miserably). Hoping somebody would punch him in the face on prime time TV. Luckily the OWS crowd was too smart and too peaceful to do anything like that.

Give it up, you guys. These are NOT a bunch of astroturfed, psychotic TEA PARTY gun nuts, and you're not going to be able provoke them in to violence for the amusement of Andrew Breitbart's groupies.

20. It sounded to me like O'Keefe was the one getting punked.
Billions of dollars??? If these two guys were the best he could do to smear OWS, he's a real loser.

I seriously doubt that they were really protestors.

28. His PO knows he violated his probation and has done nothing about it?
Or are you saying he received permission to be there? I know someone who spent a year in jail for leaving the state without permission on a small traffic offense. So they do take probation violations seriously. Does his PO know he was soliciting drugs also right on the video?

His probation agreement is clear about being around areas where there are drugs. Didn't Hannity claim the park was 'infested with drugs'? Seems maybe O'Keefe, even if he had permission to leave the state, was, according to Hannity, in a 'drug infested area' and made no attempt to leave, in fact he asked for a 'hit'.

And bringing along his own people to pose as 'protesters' wasn't too clever. Just made the criminal look even more stupid than normal, as he's not much of an actor.

Basically he should be ignored, and will be. This movement will sweep worms like him away like a tsumani and they are scared to death for the first time, because now they are not dealing with the Democratic Party anymore, who seem to cater or cave, whichever, to their stupidity every time. Not any more, wimps. A whole new world is unfolding and Koch funded worms are about to be buried as they should have been long ago.

30. Calls have been made, wheels are in motion
How far they will roll is yet to be determined. His PO's contact information was posted by Anonymous at Pastebin.com (see link above). I see no harm in blowing up his phone line should anyone else wish to avail themselves of this information...

24. If any DU'er sees this asshole at a demonstration please make sure he gets the Geraldo Treatment!
I want to see a video of him like the one of Geraldo with every one chanting O'KEEF LIES! BRIETFART LIES! O'KEEF LIES! BRIETFART LIES! O'KEEF LIES! BRIETFART LIES! O'KEEF LIES! BRIETFART LIES! Until you were able to chant Na Na NA NA Hey Hey Goodbye! Na Na NA NA Hey Hey Goodbye! Like they did to Faux Noise!
