15. It would be if it was in any way associated with the Democratic Party.
Or if it was an African American. Or if it was someone working for ACORN.

For this lot, anything from a fine to 5 years.

27. He's an insignificant little street dealer to them
He embarrassed them. He'll be lucky if he doesn't commit suicide.

23. What if they got caught on purpose?
What if they were actually removing bugs or renewing part of the equipment and this is their way of making someone ask what they were finding out?

These are also possibilities. We really don't know what these kooks were doing in there yet? It may be some sort of publicity stunt.

6. Somebody already covered his bail
My guess is Andrew Breitbart.

Furthermore, I predict it will come out Breitbart was the brains and money behind the operation.

3. Um, journalists aren't allowed to fraudently enter a government building with ...
intent to commit a federal crime.

God, everyone thinks they are a journalist now.

9. Is It Too Much To Hope That When O'Keefe Goes Into Court...
Is it too much to hope that when O'Keefe's case moves into federal court, the prosecutor says "I am a prosecutor, I am a very good prosecutor, and I will demonstrate the case beyond a reasonable doubt"--and that he (Or she DOES) lay out his (Or her) case beyond a reasonable doubt?

12. If Okeefe is a journalist
I'm a one-eye one-arm astronaut. ;*

he got caught redhanded. This is going to be interesting UNLESS our Department of Injustice decides to roll over on the charges and not investigate.
Seems to be that the Department of Injustice is more intent of protecting the bu$h regime war criminals than defending the Constitution and laws of the US. :wtf:

28. The Truth has been hiding in a dark alley just waiting to cap his stupid ass.
He goes around assaulting the Truth, the Truth eventually is going to catch up to him, and it won't be pretty.

35. Both attended the Leadership Institute
O'Keefe was a recruiter for the Leadership Institute. Gannon received his journalism "cred" at the Leadership Institute. Coincidence?

30. He's pathological. Filled with hatred to the point where he
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 11:40 PM by sabrina 1
has lost all sense of reason. Republicans use stooges like him all the time. He and Breitbart are badly in need of help. I'm beginning to feel sorry for him in a way. He has a long troubled history of hate inspired activities and much of his 'journalism' is tinged with racism.

He scrubbed his blog after he was found to be lying in the last little stunt he pulled but before he did, there was a very revealing post by him about his college roommates accusing him of racism.

He has made some pretty nasty statements about black people. And most of his stunts, such as his 'pimp' act, were thought up with African Americans in mind. After all, what would those ACORN workers relate to if not 'whores and pimps'? Not the first time either. This guy needs to get some real professional help although I'm not sure you can cure the kind of deep-rooted obsessive hatred that he is afflicted with.
