Texas Special Prosecutors: James O'Keefe Video "A Canard And Political Disinformation"

[underpants]

On Friday, the special prosecutors released a report recommending the case's dismissal, which a judge granted. As first reported by Texas blog Burnt Orange Report, the recommendation for dismissal from the special prosecutors is withering, attacking, among other things, "unprofessional" aspects of O'Keefe's video.

According to the prosecutors, the language about copying telephone numbers from registration applications "applies only to the official county registrar, not to a volunteer deputy registrar." Further, they conclude that "three recent attorney general opinions hold that one's telephone number on a voter registration is not confidential information."

After labeling the Veritas video "little more than a canard and political disinformation," the prosecutors recommend that the complaint "be dismissed for insufficient evidence and failure to state an offense." San Antonio Judge Raymond Angelini subsequently signed an order dismissing the complaint.


The dismissal of the complaint is merely the latest egg in O'Keefe's face, whose work has repeatedly been marred by misinformation and incompetence and condemned by law enforcement reviews. Last year, O'Keefe agreed to pay $100,000 to an ACORN employee he had smeared as part of his fraudulent ACORN sting.

2. Because of this guy's pattern of ...

misinformation and incompetence and condemned by law enforcement reviews, when is someone going to seek injunctive relief ... either through a cease and desist order on producing such films (probably, unconstitutional), or requiring that he place a statement at the beginning, middle and end of the film acknowledging that the film presents a very loose association to the facts and is intended capitalize on this loose interpretation of the facts for the purpose of swaying public opinion.

4. This report cites the same Attorney General Opinions signed by Greg Abbott as cited by Battleground

Battleground did a great job of debunking O'Keefe's claims a while back http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024569551 This report cites the same attorney general opinions issued by Greg Abbott that were cited by the attorneys for Battleground.

O'Keefe is a liar and a fraud. I love the fact that the right's favorite idiot attorney, Christian Adams, was so stupid that he believed that Battleground broke the law http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2014/02/19/new-okeefe-video-battleground-texas-violates-election-law-to-help-wendy-davis/ Christian Adams is an idiot who would never have been hired by the DOJ without illegal assistance from bushies. Christian Adams is a joke and has never been right on any issue.

7. Why wingnuts can't find wingnut heroes.

After O'KEEFE's various crashes and burns, this latest was to target Battlefield Texas, which is an OBAMA remnant that aims to turn Texas Blue by registering voters. So O’KEEFE set out to validate the Rethug voter suppression strategy.

The key question for Wingnuts who chase after one after another of jerks with clay feet (D’SOUZA, PALIN, and all other wingnuts who turn out to be corrupt, greedy, and frauds) is: You know why you can’t find Wingnut heroes? Because your political philosophy is wrong and negative and oppressive. By their fruits you know them.

In the linked article, calling what O'KEEFE does an "investigation" needs to be followed by &quot sic)".
