James O’Keefe’s anti-fracking scam backfires
Source: Salon
A would-be victim of the conservative prankster made an undercover recording of his own
Conservative prankster James OKeefe famous for entrapping liberals into saying things theyll later live to regret has ended up on the wrong end of his own sting operation, the Daily Beast reports. One of the journalists intended victims, catching on to the chicanery, came forward with a secret recording that he says reveals the OKeefes true methods of getting his incendiary video clips.
OKeefe unveiled his newest video, which he claimed exposes the hypocrisy of Hollywood environmentalists, Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival. In it, to the glee of conservative bloggers, environmentalist filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell and actors Mariel Hemingway and Ed Begley Jr. all appear to unwittingly accept funding for a new anti-fracking documentary from some very stereotypical Middle Eastern oil interests. (If Washington, D.C., continues fracking, a potential investor named Muhammed explains as his motivation for backing the film, America will be energy-efficient, and then they wont need my oil anymore):

(23,946 posts)Without revealing his criminal past and without a hint of doubt........Fox is vile propaganda, O'Keefe is the vile messenger.

(145,129 posts)The last couple videos by O'Keefe were not on Fox News. I think that Fox is being very careful with O'Keefe

(145,129 posts)I do not watch Fox News
I know that Fox did not run with either of the attacks on Battleground Texas or the Wendy Davis campaign.
This incident may encourage fox to go back to ignoring O'keefe

(18,791 posts)First...stop calling this little fuckhead a "journalist" and a "prankster". Both denote some form of credibility with a humorous sense of fun...he is neither.
Second...I so wish someone would kick the shit out of this asshole. Yup, it's violent but one can dream anyway.

(3,595 posts)someone will be able to post a video of him in bed with a sheep... or maybe two... one on each side. A black and a white one. (Salt and Pepper kinda thing.)
And the sheep will take turns being on top.
