And mods-no this doesn't belong in elections.

These people belong in jail for colluding to co-ordinate superpacs, incitement to riot (conspiracy) etc etc etc.

People were hurt, and jailed over this stuff.

And yes, I know okeefe is legendary for editing and misleading folks. But some of this is so obviously not edited. And if I assume nothing else is in contexxt...the statements made are...bad.

These people belong in jail. Not just fired.
for impartiality.

Its being suppressed. 2.5 million views in 18 hours and YouTube has hidden it from the top trending section in the US (its shows as top trending outside the US for some reason). Facebook and Twitter are suppressing it. This is the sort of thing I would see plastered all over Facebook this morning and there's no mention of it.

Hannity is the only mainstream media source to touch this story. This is a bombshell proving the Democrats were hiring and training people to start fights at Trump rallies in order to make Trump supporters look dangerous. They've even connected one of the people in this video directly to the Clinton payroll!

And nobody cares because Trump is sexist.

This makes my blood boil. This is worse than Watergate and its being quietly swept under the rug. It really makes me think that we truly have no power and our elections are nothing but the illusion so we stay pacified.

You'll notice no MSM organization will pick up on any of this.

The only way this will get out is via social media...
You're right. Professional journalists give short-shrift to hacks like O'Keefe who've destroyed their own credibility by their actions.

Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Just because a boy cried wolf many times doesn't mean that this time there's not a HUGE wolf at the door now does it?

I would certainly like to see some unbiased investigation (yeah right, that and the tooth fairy) as the audio I heard yesterday (listening to the radio) sounded like it could be the real deal.
Nowadays I don't dismiss ANYTHING out of hand or just because I don't like the source...

O'Keefe has a history of doctoring videos.

And you are accepting his video out of hand, because it validates your preconceived notions.

Please don't pretend that you're not biased.

He has no history of doing that. He was found guilty of taping without approval but what was said was true!

Facts count!

Yes, he does have a history of doing that. Unfairly editing videos is doctoring videos.

He sure does have a history of doing it and it is well documented. He does lack credibility and the groups involved will exploit that to publicly wash the crimes away, once they are done firing the people on camera anyway. I would expect local law enforcement to take action is places where people have been injured since it is illegal to purposefully incite violence and they now have video testimony of them admitting to incite violence. It would be best for O'keefe to release the complete tapes so we can see how much coaxing was involved.

Just to be clear I will be voting against Hillary but since my state is pretty red anyway I won't be voting for Trump. If I were worried that a vote for a 3rd party would make it possible for Hillary to win the electoral votes here I would vote Trump though.

O'Keefe is a joke and a criminal. Only right wingers are going to ever believe the tripe this loser puts out.
