Conservative activist James O’Keefe vowed to drop a bomb on CNN this week — but it has very quickly fizzled out.

While O’Keefe had promised to “expose” CNN’s liberal bias against President Donald Trump this week, on Thursday it was revealed that O’Keefe simply has obtained 119 hours’ worth of audio recordings from low-level CNN staffers that were made in 2009.

Politico reports that while O’Keefe initially had some CNN reporters worried that he’d discovered some embarrassing revelations, his first publicized “bombshells” are total duds.

“In Project Veritas’ news release about the tapes, the first highlighted segment are two producers talking about the use of certain polls and why then-CNN polling director (now NH1 News political director and anchor) Paul Steinhauser declined to use a poll by Rasmussen, a group whose polling methods are still not widely accepted,” Politico writes. “Another highlight is of an assignment desk editor saying ‘Fox News is unbearable,’ and a news desk editor talking about how ‘there’s no debate’ about climate change.”

2. A Geraldo moment

for this twerp. Good!

3. K&R

Sounds like he did one of these -

I saw in a thread here - http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028697549 that Democratic Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin's group is delivering copies of a Drumpf Russian dossier corroboration file to 200 members of congress today.

Hmmm...

5. I read something yesterday in which he said he hadn't listened to the tapes

Of course he claimed he had infiltrated all the news operations and that there WILL BE MORE!!! In other words he's still bilking his donors.

6. In so many ways, this sounds like the DNC emails "scandal"...

Manufactured rage over a bunch of private emails between co-workers that really didn't have any connections to policy decisions or actions adopted by the organization.

Great for fueling RW pseudo-rage, but eminently boring and inconsequential. At least I imagine, I didn't read any of them. Why would I want to?

10. Not just RW rage

They also fueled the "everyone other than third party candidates are equally corrupt" pseudo-rage of holier-than-thou progressives

7. Curses! Foiled again

8. Hee-hee

9. But he was successful

He got his name in the news for two days, even though there was nothing to it.

Another site I visit has an open policy for posting, but 90+% of the posters are liberal. There is one jackass that comes into every thread and types complete irrelevant bullshit about you 'libtards and Obummer supporters" and crap like that.
For about two weeks, every time he would post I would respond with a "Please don't feed the troll; if we ignore him he will dry up and shrivel like a dog turd in the sun." Before long others were posting that in response to him, and no one would ever respond to any of his provocations.

Last time I checked he had practically stopped posting, and none of his recent posts have any response. Now, he will probably just come back under a new name, but the procedure for defanging these assholes is pretty simple.

11. Extremists become so extreme

they develop a tin ear

When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

So, James O'Keefe, where's the beef?

[zentrum]

12. I've heard that

...one of them even uses artificial creamer for their coffee. Can you imagine? What fakers!

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. James, you ineffective, mendacious, slimy little twerp.

I know of a vault you might be interested in opening.

How is this twatwaffle not in jail long ago?

[Angry Dragon]

14. O'Keefe the wannabee special agent

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Jason Bourne, He Ain't

Nice spy job, li'l Jimmy. Next expose is that NASA has a tape showing the Apollo 13 astronauts had a problem.

[Johonny]

16. I'm still embarressed too many Dems went along with definding ACRON based on this fraud

[barbtries]

17. what i don't get

is why this guy is still being paid to produce bullshit, he's been exposed as a fraud and con man and liar with a huge partisan bent a long time ago. are there people who believe in him, or just cynical rich people who use him, and who the hell pays attention to him?
