Freepers + James O'Keefe = Me Laughing My Ass Off

Last edited Mon Oct 24, 2016, 03:35 PM - Edit history (1)

OK, here's the deal. I get a kick out of reading Freak Republic, I mean, I get astounded by some of their ideas and memes.

So yesterday they were all anticipating today at noon when James O'Keefe was going to post something on his blog that was going to turn this election upside down. It was going to be sooooo bad they were sure Hillary Clinton was going to have to drop out. They were bigly, BIGLY, excited.


So you just have to hear this. I'm not making this up.

O'Keefe, apparently, cause I don't go there, posted some video in which Clinton campaign staffers somehow..........I can't stop laughing.........apparently got somebody to dress up in a Donald Duck costume and follow Trump around to his rallies. Honestly. Not kidding.

And here's the kicker. They are absolutely sure that this "broke campaign laws". And that this breaking campaign laws is going to doom Hillary Clinton and her entire campaign.

Yessirree. A Donald Duck Costume.

I can't stop laughing.

James O'Keefe: Rigging the Election – Video III: Creamer Confirms Hillary Clinton Involvement

^ | 10/24/2016 | James O'Keefe
Posted on 10/24/2016, 12:40:34 PM by conservativepoet

Part III of the undercover Project Veritas Action investigation dives further into the back room dealings of Democratic politics. It exposes prohibited communications between Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC and the non-profit organization Americans United for Change. And, it’s all disguised as a duck. In this video, several Project Veritas Action undercover journalists catch Democracy Partners founder directly implicating Hillary Clinton in FEC violations. “In the end, it was the candidate, Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States, who wanted ducks on the ground,” says Creamer in one of several exchanges.

These videos really try to paint Bob Creamer in a terrible light.

I was first introduced to Bob and his Wife by Sidney Yates during a charity he hosted for the National Endowment of the Arts. I later worked closely with him through AARP (I was hired, I'm not that old!) when the Republicans were trying to privatize Social Security.

Bob has certainly made some mistakes but it was never for personal gain, he always put the Party first and will once again take one for the team and I'm sure if you asked him he'd agree it was worth it to keep Trump out of the the Presidency.

It's sad that most people will only know of Bob because of this video, he's given so much to our Party and never once asked for recognition. Bob always shared the credit for every success and took the blame for every failure, if we had more people like him the world would be a much better place.

Donald Duck is a fine, upstanding American citizen and in no way should be associated with the Trump campaign. Shame on you Hillary for besmirching Mr. Duck's good name and character. Shame indeed.

Richard Nixon is rolling over in his grave that he got railroaded for stuff that is not even in the same universe of criminality as Clinton’s.

1.) Hillary has more to fear from Disney than she does from FEC, methinks.

2.) If the FEC fines her, my money is on her having to pay a whopping $1,000 fine. Somehow I think she will manage!

Another boring video. Nobody cares about this. This is not going to harm Hillary Clinton.

I thought the video would be about Donna Brazile and Kaine.

I'm thinking there must be another video ready to drop soon. James said there's more. Let's see what happens. In the meantime, we can promote what we have. This is enough to say grace over for one day.

This Donald Duck thing, or Hannity having Clinton's "Mr. Fix-it" on his TV show tonight.

Wonder if they'll go all "cloak and dagger" on us and film him in shadows and distort his voice?

They've become a complete laughing stock!

The Freepers were soooooo excited. Drudge was pimping OKeefe's noon today release as Huge, bigly News. They were sure Clinton's team was losing sleep over it.

And its somebody in a Donald Duck suit.

And OKeefe thinks its huge news.

I mean, I can't stop laughing.

It is JAW dropping what they will believe.

There's one on there now from some YouGov poll that shows 69% (whoever they polled. Not clear) believes that if votes are counted fairly Trump would win. They claim this is evidence of a Trump landslide. Stunning stupidity.

They say things like "no one I talk to is voting Hillary, so where are all those numbers coming from - must be fraud" (Well, one or two do admit that may "one or two dried up vaginas might be voting for her&quot

So all the young white men 20-40 that you talk to in East Bumfuck are voting Trump.

You probably never talk to any women, much less any women over age 30. Much less anyone who lives outside the immediate Buckfuck area, anyone of color or anyone gay.

It's like the gun arguments I get into with the young boys on there: they all say "everyone supports guns". No, bucko, every young white guy in East Bumfuck supports guns, and many other men do, too. But there's an entire 50% of the country - moms and potential moms - who want to see saner regulation vs your stand of Any weapon Anywhere carried by Anybody - no restrictions.
