"Serial Liar, James O’Keefe, Releases Another Deceitfully Edited Video: ObamaCare Edition"

http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=10884

Glen Beck's "The Blaze" puts a disclaimer on the video: "It should be noted that the video is heavily edited and employs deceptive tactics in order to catch the navigators offering the shocking advice."

I am not sure why anyone would believe o'keefe. He has been proven to be a liar and fraud on numerous occasions Here is another good analysis of O'Keefe latest attempts http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=10884

However, his reputation for producing video fiction is fully intact. In the new video he sends in a shill to pretend to inquire about enrolling in a health care plan. In the process, the shill attempts to trick his unsuspecting victims into giving bad advice. However, we can’t know for sure whether they did that because the videos are so heavily edited that there is no way to discern the actual context. Also, the people O’Keefe’s shill spoke with weren’t certified navigators, but were in fact trainees. So the prospect of them making a few mistakes shouldn’t shock anyone.

In one case, though, it is apparent that the navigators did not do what O’Keefe accused them of doing. O’Keefe alleged that the navigators advised the shill to misrepresent his income. In reality, they simply told him to report on the ObamaCare website the same amounts he reported to the IRS. It’s his responsibility to file his income taxes honestly. But the conclusions drawn in the video conceal that. That’s just one example of how creative editing can distort the true picture of what occurred.

John Cornyn will never disappoint. If there is something stupid to do or say, you can count on him. He wants to cancel the ACA navigator program in Texas because of O'Keefe's video.

Cornyn is not that bright and lately he has been worried about a tea party primary challenge. Cornyn is going to be doing some goofy crap until the deadline for filing for a primary passes (Dec. 9).
