Not trying to be a smart a$$, but if you’d like my comment removed, I’d completely understand.

It just pi$$es me off that SOME only have criticism and cynicism to offer in response to what this brave young man has done. I’m sure I could’ve made my point without dropping the masked F-bomb. Again, maybe the mods can delete my post.

Sorry for not being more clear.

It’s OK. Trump in a landslide.

I think he (O’Keefe) is incredibly brave, his work is fabulous - unbelievably really how good it is and how impactful. It has been almost as impactful as the massive Wikileaks drops...and that was even before today.

But today’s piece doesn’t pack the punch that the prior two did. That’s because the laws broken here are insider election laws that don’t capture the imagination that, say, fomenting violence that bloodies policemen does. The subject matter doesn’t have carry - to use a baseball term. If it bleeds, it gets attention...these crimes are like insider trader crimes - they won’t sway the voters because almost all voters don’t even understand them, they’re technical fouls. It isn’t a criticism of O’Keefe, he’s a giant in true journalism and a Freedom Fighter, it’s just that this one doesn’t quite live up to the billing.

Agree.

Takes a fair amount of guts and an amount of stress to go in and using pretexts on unsuspecting people. Going in with hidden cameras, microphones, a script etc. There is always a chance the actor or camera lens gets made, the actor gets ID'd, recognized, equipment fails, the actor fails to ask the right questions, the subjects get suspicious and on and on. Then the legal ramifications always come into question after the event from the targets attorneys.

Not as simple as some think. O'keefe has done some great historic stuff in this election and other events. From my perspective, those who attempt to discredit and undermine O'keefe and his efforts, are suspect at best. And I base this on the fact after making some observations, there seems to be a pattern of the same individuals who have been making these defeatist comments throughout the election. (No surprise btw).

With the defeatist, it's generally comments like, "I support Trump 100%, so don't get me wrong, but he's stupid and will lose".☺☺
