James O'Keefe is a scuzzball. His Acorn videos were fake and he has no credibility. Why in God's name are we suppposed to pretend that he's any kind of journalist or whatever he pretends to be? The name alone should be enough to dismiss this video and any other video he comes out with. The same goes for that ho friend of his

The mainstream media would be Fox News. You do know about their sky high ratings right?

Big problem here is that he's given way too much credibility by the very same people who should be fighting back. What the hell is it with all these firings and resignations? All that does is encourage him. You'd think these liberal organizations would know by now not to fall for it.

Your mad at the wrong person. Just thought you needed to know this.

Killing the messenger for not keeping their mouth shut, speaks volumes all in itself.

What exactly did O'Keefe do that illustrates deceit and/or indifference to truth?

Editing his videos so that it appeared he was dressed up as a "pimp" while in ACORN offices, not correcting a Fox News interviewer when he said that he had done that, selectively editing ACORN videos to give a completely different impression than what actually happened in many instances.

Breitbart putting the Shirley Sherrod edited clip on his website without making any reasonable attempt to find the context.

O'Keefe agreeing to an interview with a CNN reporter, and apparently using that as an attempt to stage a faux seduction scene (he disputes that he was actually doing that, but it smacks of a scramble to avoid embarrassment).

O'Keefe pretending to dress up as a repair man to sneak into a US Senator's office and tamper with phone lines.
