Allies Accuse James O'Keefe of 'Hit Job' in Undercover NPR Sting
The two men who pulled off James O’Keefe’s NPR sting are now criticizing the conservative activist for what one calls a ‘hit job.’ They tell Howard Kurtz exclusively why they feel exploited.

--snip--
James O’Keefe, the man behind the undercover project, wanted to make the hidden-camera video public immediately last February as Congress debated whether to kill NPR’s funding. Templar insisted on waiting, and a confrontation ensued.

In a series of interviews with The Daily Beast, Templar says he had designed the effort to be “a very thoroughly researched and impeccably executed project that was by no means limited to NPR. James wanted it to be a hit job.”

What’s more, says Templar, O’Keefe “didn’t seem to care about the reasons why we were doing this. All he cared about was that he had people saying embarrassing stuff on video. I came to learn how desperate he was in terms of money and needing to rehabilitate his reputation.”

1. I find it hard to believe these guys didn't know from the get-go what O'Keefe's intentions were.

2. Oh, they are cretins, as well... But the circular firing squad....

brought on from O'Keefe's supporters is refreshing....

6. Breaking news: o'keefe is a self serving troll...

As an odd note: I find it interesting that the guys name is Templar.

8. Rehabilitate his reputation? To what original state?

Like the days when he was just another racist thug learning classical Watergate-Rovian tricks in a foundation-financed coven of campus conservatives? Golly!
