leaves me in one place only. These four are punks. Yes, we need to follow the money if there is a money and support path. But it is as nothing compared to the AT&T-Verizon-SoBell, etc. plus the White House and Congress theft and archival storage of our phone conversations AND THE IMMUNITY GRANTED THEM BY THE LIKES OF Mrs. Feinstein and many more.
Let's sit back and take in the hyporcritical statements that will be coming out of their mouths about this, especially the outspoken who joined Republicans and FOX in attempting to destroy Acorn.
When your leaders are bringing us down to a third world country and creating a giant wealth class while ripping up our Constitution, inch by inch, so as not to be discovered too soon - hypocrisy reigns.
It's all a stage with really bad actors. But with some true heroes who speak and fight for us.

2. He was funded at one time by Morton Blackwell |
|
of the Leadership Institute. Blackwell funded him to start a conservative newspaper when he was in College. But he distanced himself from him during the ACORN stunt even though O'Keefe, on his now scrubbed blog, had claimed he did receive funding from Blackwell airc.
These organizations, Blackwell's eg produced people like fake jouralist Jeff Gannon, are well funded and their main goal is to 'destroy Liberalism'. They are all part of the Rightwing Noise machine and for that reason should not be dismissed. They've been very successful so far, because the 'left' was unaware of how vast and organized and how well-funded they are.
O'Keefe could be the key to finding out more about how they operate. Morton Blackwell's Leadership Ins. eg, has tax-exempt status, claiming to be 'non-partisan'. Karl Rove is another one affiliated with them.

3. Blackwell - great starting point. |

Gannon got a great seat in the WH press briefing room and got called on often often. O'Keefe got out on bail.
Both from the Leadership Institute? So I'm told on another thread where I stated that I was reminded of Gannon on learning that O'Keefe claims he's a journalist.
They both have a sex connection - one in his side job as a sex provider-date, posing frontal naked on his web site; the other in his pimp posed and staged invasion of a Black-American organization.
Both pushed hate buttons, then FOX pushed the buttons of their non-thinking audience by promoting O'Keefe.

4. Yes, his association with Blackwell was revealed |
|
during the ACORN nonsense. It's interesting to read about Blackwell's 'school of journalism' and the tactics they use. They are of the opinion eg, that it is not illegal to 'suppress the vote' and actually have classes teaching their 'students' how to do that.
O'Keefe, eg, does not have a degree in Journalism from any reputable college, yet he is constantly referred to in the press as an 'investigative jouralist'.
Karl Rove was a student of Blackwell's also ~ these people are a threat to democracy, taking the lowest of the low and traingin them like an army, to undermine democracy. I hope Blackwell's role in O'Keefe's criminality is exposed. That organization at the very least, needs to lose its tax-exempt status.

5. Now O'Keefe is being called a filmmaker. He is really accomplished for a 24/5 year old. nt |

6. A GOP operative, a CIA spook, and a prosecutor's son pulled a break in. |
|
Of a US senator's office, in what appears to be an illegal wiretapping operation similar to Watergate, although not the DNC, but just one senator.
It's plenty serious, and could lead to the prosecution of a dozen people. There are others involved above these guys.
