I love seeing the Libs hoisted on their own petard.

Those two enterprising film makers are true patriots.

I used to work for a city newspaper. All the journalists wanted to be Woodward and Bernstein. But none of them were.

This duo really are the Woodward and Bernstein of their generation -- and I bet all the journalists hate them and are slobbering at the possibility of bringing them down.

Ironic, huh?

Nice article. I've been wondering about who these two were, and how they got together.

I vaguely remember the "Affirmative Action Bake Sale" that O'Keefe held in the past. It was cited in another article posted earlier: he charged different prices based on your race.

“pro vocateur — determined to expose what he sees as the hypocrisies and moral lapses of liberals by employing their own tactics against them.”

I wouldn’t say that so much as that he’s doing the MSM’s job for it. And he wasn’t being a provocateur. This wasn’t street theater or a “love in”. It was a simple sting operation, like the sort investigative news teams use all the time.

Are sting operations a liberal thing? I guess when you see it on the news, it’s usually aimed at some private business. However, undercover operations and whistle-blowing are used by either side, in any case. Just because the libs started associating it with themselves at some point doesn’t mean they own it.

Sounds like a good rule, but please -- none in costume!

Their latest video (from San Bernadino) features her walking down the street in character, and I went: "Whoa!"

“he wasn’t being a provocateur”

I should add, maybe he is a provocateur, but not any more so than any reporter is when he breaks a story.

I’m still amazed that if O’Keefe actually wore that outlandish pimp outfit into the ACORN offices, some of those dolts actually fell for it instead of thinking it was an early Halloween gag.

As we sit here, you can be MSM journalists are digging through high school yearbooks.

Baloney! All "journalists" want to be Woodward and Bernstein if they can do so against Republicans. They have absolutely no interest in such reporting if it involves investigating the corruption of their liberal brethren -- none.

Ohh, but I bet they would have done it had it been a republican president who this was happening under.
