Conservative provocateur James O'Keefe, fresh off his sting operation aimed at NPR, "must raise $50,000 quickly to keep moving forward" he said in an e-mail to supporters.

"Up 'til now, my friends and I have financed all of our work on our own -- running up major credit card debt," O'Keefe writes. "We made a lot of sacrifices -- personally and financially -- because we fight for what we believe in."

"If you help us pass $100,000 -- we can do two new videos..." O'Keefe said. "...And if by some chance, we raise $1,000,000 -- we could expose 20 disturbing cases of government abuse and corruption. But, all I'm worried about is $50,000 right now."



It's okay if he wants other people to bail him out because he can't manage a budget... he's a Republican.

1. Considering the fact he helps the rich

I am surprised he does not hit up the Koches, but don;t worry, they will make sure he gets money, after he takes some from widows. I would feel sorry for the widows, but if you are using social security checks to ensure that the generation after you gets none, I have less sympathy.

2. Can't anyone help this con man out?

C'mon folks, give this guy your head earned money, so he can help destroy another social institution. I can't believe the Grand Sugar-Daddies of the Right, the Koch Brothers, can't toss him a few thousand Benjamins to keep the lies coming...

12. "We fight for what we believe in."

Lying? Framing people?

I'm sure he'll get his money from rightwingers, both the cynical and the duped.

13. Okay, that was fun

I took some advice from the posters at TPM and charged $000,000,00 on my discover card (for the "card number" I wrote dog poop with 666 as my security code. Best part? I listed my name as John Adams from Massachusetts. And while I was on the site, I also took a couple mins to DU the polls. Fun!
