O’Keefe – Stupid is as Stupid Does
Y’all remember James O’Keefe, right? He’s the guy who gained notoriety in conservative circles for posting highly edited and misleading videos of ACORN, a community service organization about 8 years ago. Those false stories stuck, destroying the organization. Later, O’Keefe was arrested and then found guilty of impersonating a telephone technician while trying to bug then senator Mary Landrieu’s telephone in her New Orleans office. Since then, O’Keefe has solidified his reputation as perpetual dirtbag and liar, attempting a number of times to entrap the “liberal elite” in various states of non-existent wrongdoing.
Welp, he’s back. Several weeks ago, one Jaime Phillips contacted the Washington Post with a blockbuster story that Roy Moore had gotten her pregnant when she was a teenager, forcing her to get an abortion when she was 15 years old. The problem? The story is utterly and completely bullshit. Assuming that reporters for the Washington Post are stupid and would fall for the “sting”, she wove an irresistibly salacious (so she thought) story hoping the Post would just print without fact checking. Her story broke down pretty quickly, especially when she was observed by Post reporters going into the New York office of…wait for it…James O’Keefe and his very inappropriately named organization, Project Veritas.
The Post reporters were so incensed by this idiotic attempt of entrapment that they published the statements and video from Phillips conversations with it’s reporters. Not only are O’Keefe and his minions dishonest, they’re just plain box-of-rocks stupid. Who in the hell is giving this moron money for this Keystone Cops clown show? Apparently, it’s box-of-rocks stupid conservative donors.
Considering the previous article, is this the Department of Redundancy Department?
1Noted that Trump donated $10K to this scalliwag
2The Trump foundation gave him $10,000, so that answers part of the question.

4CALL IT LIES.
See previous post, comment #9.
5Wonder if the N.Y. attorney general is interested in this?
6At least, in the end, The Post showed O’Keefe how to do a sting properly.
7ACORN was taken down by lies. They did a lot of good around here and elsewhere. Community organizers. Republicans hate community organizers. Palin said they don’t do real work referring to Obama. Sad.
8I’m with you, Rhea.
9O’Keefe again! Why is this inept fraudster stilling running around loose? He should have been convicted and jailed multiple times already.
Though I’m sure that Trump will put him in charge of the Ministry of Truth, once he gets it established and it replaces the Department of Justice.
Shaking My Damn Head.
