James O'Keefe brings a plastic butter knife to a gunfight...

[Archae]

He takes on Jim Sensenbrenner about the Voting Rights Act.

James O'Keefe, a right-wing performance artist known for his undercover videos that supposedly "expose" progressive "fraud," has released a new video falsely accusing conservative Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) of "excluding whites" from protection under his new Voting Rights Amendment Act (VRAA), a distortion of this bipartisan bill that has already been repeated in the National Review Online.

O'Keefe's new video shows him mysteriously dressed in camouflage, dancing to New Order's "Round and Round," and ultimately "confronting" Sensenbrenner at a town hall meeting about supposedly alarming anti-white language in the VRAA. Sensenbrenner, as he has in the past, began working on both sides of the aisle on this new VRA legislation last year, after the Supreme Court gutted crucial voter suppression protections in Shelby County v. Holder.

In the video, O'Keefe lectures Sensenbrenner on his own bill, claiming that "n the legislation, it seems to contain language that explicitly removes white people from the protections of the Voting Rights Act." Sensenbrenner interrupts O'Keefe to correctly point out that the law "does not do that. There is nothing targeting people by race in the Voting Rights Act." O'Keefe eventually accuses Sensenbrenner of "doing the work of [U.S. Attorney General] Eric Holder and the race-hustlers with this language in the bill."

[Archae]

2. Of his parents' basement, or the asylum?

11. Yeah, I sort of assumed he went to jail.

Something about multiple Felonies, or something.

8. He should probably be in jail right now for breaking into a Senator's office

But of course, Mary Landrieu didn't want to offend all the assholes who will never vote for her.

4. Who?

Looks like a nobody to me.

5. O'Keefe should simmer-down.

Sensenbrenner may be a tool and a conservative, but he's one of those people in Congress that seems able to work with everybody because he plays the political game straight; He's neither a gotcha-artist like Issa nor a pandering ideologue like Paul or Cruz. He thinks what he thinks and he's straight-forward in approach.

I wouldn't piss him off, he's the sort of sot to pull favors and able to insure that Mr. O'Keefe's next legal snafu goes badly no matter whose hat he's pissing on and where.

6. He's a troll, pure and simple.

We must be very aware of people like him. They're the ones who spread out the bullshit we all wind up walking through day after day.

7. An odiferous gas bubble escapes a quivering blob of santorum.

10. Now that is spot on.

The attacks on Battleground Texas were flops
