It’s just scary how the Democrats have the media as the willing lapdog accomplices when it comes to spreading lies, smears and disinformation. A democrat can say any lie no matter how outrageous and the media will dutifully print it.

OldDeckHand, BuckEyeTexan, and a number of others need to come on here and apologize for their immediate condemnation.

The posts are there. NO excuse to hide or say, ‘but, but, but...’

But, most folks on that thread said they wanted to wait for confirmation.

James and his cohorts lied about who they were and why they were there, that’s true, but where is the “crime”?

The same could be said for Obama & Co. They lied about who they were and why they ARE there in DC.
Just sayin.

It’s called ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Burden of proving a crime is on the gov’t. The burden of proving innocence is not on O’Keefe.

Al Sharpton was arrested. Didn’t seem to hurt his popularity with the left media.

Yep. This just gives more publicity to the fact that Landreau isn’t taking calls from her consituents.

I agree with you. EVERYONE is so used to believing what they hear from the mainstream media, us included, it is hard to not take what we hear/read/see as anything other than correct. We always lose because we can’t get past this cultural norm. We must get past it. Free Republic is the best at getting past it, but we have to do better by getting others to buy into the fact that the media lies. The government lies. Our culture is highly damaged. We will be fortunate if we survive this crisis of culture. To survive we must all question, push, doubt, demand proof, etc. The fact that the President of the United States could give a State of the Union address so filled with lies (the biggest was the insult to the Supreme Court) is strong evidence of how far we have sunk. All of us need to take a personal pledge to try to fix this problem in each of our own networks. I often ask a “pronouncer” of some fact what is the source of their information. No matter what they say (other than eye-witness) I respond with “so you trust that source? Why?” I don’t argue, I just keep asking questions. Usually I get a “wow, I never thought about it like that.”

Not if escorted or if open to the public. He may have wanted to see it just to take a picture to show there isn’t anything apparently broken in the closet.

But it is getting into a gray area. But so far at worst it would be trespassing and not wiretapping as the appropriate charge.

It seems to me the “crime” if there is one, comes down to ‘entering a federal building under false pretenses’ - or something like that.

Can we write the same indictment for Obama?

0bama’s Ministry of Hope is trying to take down James O’Keefe.
But this is only going to bring more attention to James’ cause.
When the dust settles, the involvement of 0bama’s political operation in this ‘bust’ will be exposed.

My mistake. Thank you for pointing out my error.

Now does the report say that “he” went into the closet? Or was it the other people who did?

For some reason FR allows certain trolls to remain, for years now.

True, most did. But too many didn't. And that doesn't include the trolls and the agitator who was most vocal in that thread.
