2. NEA is the target
Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 02:53 PM by grok
But it's EXTREMELY weak and rather uninteresting.

Basic recap is the NEA is taking taxpayer dollars to advocate obama's political positions instead of being non-partisan. Like preparing a ministry of propaganda. And were recorded doing so on a conference call.


Even if mildly true, the worst that will happen another very LOW underling will get fired/demoted. Yossi Sergant already did.

Check out the first two links...

I think breitbart was trying to capitalise on the "ACORN" success to re-promote this OLD story. It's pretty tedious and long.

Should have been edited like O'Keefe did. ;-)

Nothing to see, move along now..

Allegedly O'Keefe is prepping more video for lster release, maybe in a week or two. But the damage is already done so I wouldn't worry about it.

4. I'm not sure which direction the bomb would blast, but . . .
Apparently Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Giles have gone into hiding:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6595141

Apparently, their protestation that no ACORN office kicked them out, and that everyone at ACORN cooperated with their illegal pose, was not entirely true, as the Philadelphia office booted them when the outlines of their scheme became obvious. Being ACORN, the office even filed a police report that named Mr. O'Keefe. Oopsie.

There's also apparently a little problem with their stunt at the Baltimore office, in that Maryland law requires both parties to a conversation consent to its being recorded. Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Giles didn't go through that little formality, and the state's attorney is contemplating what it might do in regard to this breach of the law.

Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Giles, so available last week, aren't appearing or saying shit this week.

Bombshell enough?

5. And Maryland has them dead to rights that they did not inform.
They were bragging about how they had so cleverly hidden the camera in his fur coat on Fauxs' Red Eye and probably on other Fox shows.

I was also annoyed by how funny they thought the whole thing was. You would think people supposedly catching people complacent in the child sex trade would be a little more serious about the subject. Nope, they were laughing like they had just done 10 jello shots at a frat party.

Yeah, they're credible.

7. Beck always has teasers like that on his morning radio hatefest.




"Be sure to tune in to my show tonight on Faux to learn the awful truth about ... yadda yadda yadda."

Every day he seems to have another new exposè just so that he can get the sheepies to tune in.
