9. Check out who has funded him. It might give some
insight into his sexist, racist obsessions. I posted this below in response to a question about who funds these people. This guy seems to have some serious objections to any enlightenment about gender eg. Probably liked the old ways, where women were second class citizens. I could see how, to get money from this guy, knowing his beliefs, O'Keefe would be guided by those beliefs in thinking up his anti-women, anti-minority 'scripts'. But personally, I think O'Keefe is a very sick, and possibly dangerous man as no normal man would even consider carrying out this 'crime' against a woman. As she said, he intended to have her crying and begging to be 'let go'. That is way beyond a 'stunt'.

"Is the new consciousness about race, gender, and sexual preference really the antidote to America's problems or a cause of them?" Thiel's book asks in its introduction. Another representative quote: "Multiculturalists like thinking of themselves as victims far too much to want to end their victimization. They need their imaginary oppressors to
give their lives meaning."

Thiel's book does not spare homosexuality. "Much behavior is being conducted in public, for the express purpose of shocking and offending others. The shock is then called 'homophobia' and is used as evidence of the oppression and victimization of homosexuals." The book (published in 1995) argues against Stanford instituting domestic partner benefits, complaining "even in purely economic terms, the costs are substantial...The end result is something of a random scrambling of people into "relationships," all claiming the right to live off of everyone else."


The link is in my post below btw ... I wish the media would stop calling this a 'stunt' or a 'prank'. This was way more than that. They are still pretending this guy is some kind of journalist and therefore has some license to do stuff like this. It is very disturbing.
