What if James O'Keefe's name was Jamal Khalifa?

The media coverage would most likely be so intense as to literally melt your TV. One wonders if these men still believe in waterboarding alleged "terrorists" and all the other lunacy involved with being a right wing junior fascist. I will admit that it would be fun to be an FBI investigator and drop hints while talking to the suspects that there is a possibility that they will have to take a ride on "Ol' Dunky" the waterboard to find out if they are really terrorists attempting to attack the homeland.

Yes, I think I would take a bit of satisfaction if I were in a position to give Mr. O'Keefe just a small taste of what he has wanted so desperately to do to other Americans.

1. It would then be one more example of Obama not protecting us from terra-ists.

And the republicans would be saying he should be sent to Gitmo and howling about "mirandizing" terra-ists.

2. He would have been arrested and question too?

3. Well, I never head of someone with Irish heritage with a name

like that.

4. What if he was Jamal Khalifa AND born in the US?

The media would be clamoring that it's a matter of life and death that we ignore the constitution; strip him of his rights and declare him an "unlawful enemy combatant".

But this is a good ol murikan white boy and self proclaimed patriot so he will not just use his "get out of jail free" card; he will painted as a hero and promoted. Hell just look at Ollie North and Gordon Liddy to see how being a crook and breaking laws gets you hero status on the republican side.
