He billed himself as a conservative activist, but he was mostly engaging in show-offy scams where he used edited footage to make it look as if Dems did something wrong. He destroyed Acorn, even though he was found to be wrong - lying.

Anyway, this is a good piece from a while back - he accidentally outed himself.

Conservative "activism" is to use deception and lies to attack your opponents. O'Keefe is the perfect example.

O'Keefe is a convicted felon whose "undercover investigations" resemble that of a little boy playing dress up.

ACORN was a disgrace. And while his video of them was edited, don't act like it didn't show them doing disgraceful things that warranted them losing funding and ultimately being shut down. In short, even unedited, ACORN's recordings were disgraceful.

Anything or anyone who tells the truth about liberals, is automatically despicable.

At least, to the liberals.

And they try hard to pretend that normal people agree with them. Usually without asking the normal people.
