Breathless Louisiana Dems Attempt To Tar Vitter For O’Keefe Caper
The Hayride ^ | 1/26/2010 | MacAoidh

Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 10:40:42 PM by Hayrider

As the ever-more-curious James O’Keefe arrest story continues to develop, the Louisiana Democrat Party has now weighed in with a reliably breathless, stupid and illogical statement.

In a release late this afternoon, acting state party head Michael McHale said the following…

“This is a Louisiana Watergate. Louisiana families are shocked and outraged that these men would break the law to carry out their political agenda with this Watergate-like break-in and attempted wiretapping."

“Wiretapping a federal official is a big time felony.”

Yeah, this is going to be a big hurdle. Nevertheless, let us do what the left does, let us stick together like glue. Don’t throw our brother under the bus. I’ve got $25.00 for the defense fund. Sorry it won’t be more, unless, you know, I hit the lottery.

And the other kid’s dad was a fed atty. He most certainly should have known better.

And kids, don’t embarrass your parents, remember, it is their job to embarrass you!

I hope Breitbart wasn’t part of this!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The last thing we need now is to lose Breitbart... :-(

I am hoping we are not getting the whole story and that he is innocent.

Same here. There's lots of "chatter" about this on FR and elsewhere on the 'net. I'm starting to think there will be more to come - hopefully soon - about this story...

EVEN if this kid did, which I doubt. IMO he was mostly likely framed.

I REALLY hope you're right about that. We'll get the full story on this soon, I hope...

I agree. I keep thinking there is no way these guys would pull something like this and think they'd get away with it.

There has to be more...and there may even be a strong RAT smell in this whole thing.

I guess we'll have to see what comes out...

The sentence DOES parse without the word “they”.

Without the they, the sentence has an indirect object but lacks a direct object. Thus, it is not a complete sentence. QED.

It asserts O'Keefe and Dai admitted something to feds who, it also asserts, worked with the other two defendants in setting up the crime, er, operation. But it fails to complete the sentence by stating what the hell O'Keefe and Dai admitted! IOW, we have a parse error! Aka Freudian slip!!

There is NO bugging charge associated with this arrest, only a charge that there was an intent to interfere with Landieus phone system.

This is a frame up of Okeefe, engineered by Holder and his pro Black Panther running dogs.

If he was doing another prostitution-related sting, he got the wrong Louisiana senator.

I stand corrected.

Didn’t Ray Stevens have a song called “Freudian Slip”? ;-P

Since when does a person get into a Senator’s office, while just waiting on someone. This sounds weird to me...don’t they have a reception area.

"Someone will be with you in a moment Mr. O'keefe. Please take a seat in this office. I'll go get some coffee... and some fake wiretappers and then the fibbies that we paid off with drugs and hookers"

The Watergate break-in didn't make any sense, either, but it happened.

I mean, who in their right mind thinks Nixon needed to cheat to beat McGovern? That's like stealing signals from the Detroit Lions, which also happened.

Thanks for your kind comments!

You know this case is very curious, and I’m wondering this morning after much reflection that it may well be a “set-up”....by none other than O’Keefe.

Like Hannibal at Cannae, O’Keefe may have pulled back his front as a tactic to draw in the enemy and destroy them.

This is something else about the case that doesn’t pass the smell test for me - O’Keefe & Company are all intelligent, educated and well centered young adults. Not only that - everyone knows from watching the cop shows that when arrested you say only one thing - “LAWYER!”

The smell I smell is, “Rogue federal agents who have lied and now committed perjury by making false statements.”
