The reporter didn't have enough time to full take him out, but this is certainly the way O'Keefe deserves to be addressed in interviews.

1. Its so easy to lie, because the retraction never has the same impact.
Notice that the biggest contribution was from a grandmother for $100. If we find out that the biggest contribution is for $100,000 from the Koch brothers, it won't matter because the lie becomes the perception.

3. Agreed.
That's where Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are doing their damage. They put this stuff out through Fox News, Wall St. Journal, New York Post, other outlets follow suit, and the retraction is never heard.

2. He's from New Jersey
Is it possible that the $100. contribution was a birthday gift from Grammy? :P

21. He is an immature fool. There is something seriously wrong with
him. He gets caught lying and publicizing false videos and pulling illegal stunts over and over. Somehow he seems to be a person who thinks he needs to be very exceptional and knows that he is actually without talent or particularly high intelligence.

I would like to know what his father does. He seems to expect to be a person who receives a lot of public acclaim and recognition, but he also seems to think that he has to cheat to get it. Where did he learn a) that he needs to be in the public limilight and b) that it's OK if he lies and cheats to be there.

26. If I ever cross paths with this punk...
I'll be going to jail and he'll be going to the hospital. His antics are not free speech - his lies have hurt people and he needs to feel that pain.

10. REMEMBER that folks! Remember that web site!
It is called "The Project Veritas" and the web address is theprojectveritas.org

This is where the scumbag gets his money. This is the non-profit of which we can find the public records and see the truth about who really funds this asshole.

16. That's kicked?
WOW. If that's kicked around, Grayson got drawn and quartered by AC. That was Loofa Boy "nonpartisan agression", not actual grilling.

19. This is just Faux CYA agit prop. The reporter appears to put OK on the spot but is in fact


giving him a forum. And no, OK didn't reveal who is
signing his paycheck. But "citizen journalists" tells
me it's Freedom Works' Dick Armey and friends

22. I would love to be that citizen journalist.

I'm sure there are millions of others who would like that job also.

He went to the Karl Rove two day school of journalism, also attended by that other, now infamous, 'journalist' Jeff Gannon.

They make a mockery of this country, its press and political system. The country is being taken over by clowns, dumb, stupid, immoral cowards.

23. He's a liar. His female associate, Santa, who warned the CNN
reporter what he was going to do, said she had called one of their Veritas' funders, to tell them 'we have a problem here'. Too bad this interviewer wasn't aware of that. Did she call the Grandma down the street? I don't think so.

Secondly, he illegally taped that CNN reporter. He is on probation. Has his probation officer done anything about him continuing to break laws while on probation?

Should we contact the probation Dept and remind them others who violate probation end up in jail. Who is behind these creeps? Clearly whoever is using him is protecting him.

25. I think there was real (and deserved) disgust there.
I don't think the local affiliate reporters and anchors are as "Foxed-up" as the News Channel guys. But there is something that would definitely be galling as a person whose day-to-day profession is reporting the news, to get smirked at by a "citizen journalist" (aka--"unprofessional hack") who has gotten a lot of attention for little work and with no ethics. It's an insult to what he does for a living, by a person who is being given an easy ride for being a splashy jerk.
