"Time's up for O'Keefe: Breitbart Seeks "explanation"!

[sabrina 1]

Has the memo come down from the Republican Noise Machine Funders, that James O'Keefe is to be cut loose, at least for a while until the heat blows over?

After the 'Sex Room' on a boat combined with the script that was intended as a trap to seduce CNN reporter, Abbie Boudreau and leave her begging to be let go, was revealed this week, condemnations began coming even from the ever-tolerant Rightwingers who never saw an O'Keefe/Breitbart/Fox stunt, no matter how depraved, that they didn't applaud .But this appeared to have crossed the line even for some of THEM. See HERE

Now, O'Keefe's main outlet for his edited videos, and employer, Andrew Breitbart, would like us to think that HE has some standards and has joined the voices of condemnation against the man he said should receive a Pulitizer Prize for his 'work'.

From Media Matters:




Time's up for O'Keefe: Breitbart seeks "explanation"!

Nearly 60 hours after CNN first detailed James O'Keefe and his cohorts' alleged plot to "get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session," O'Keefe mentor Andrew Breitbart has (finally) stepped up to the plate and said that O'Keefe "owes his supporters an explanation."

In a statement splashed across the Big family of websites, Breitbart writes that he has long defended O'Keefe, but no longer:

However, in my dealings with Ms. Boudreau, she and her producer, Scott Zamost, conducted themselves professionally, and I believe James owes them a candid and public explanation.

From what I've read about this script, though not executed, it is patently gross and offensive. It's not his detractors to whom he also owes this public airing. It's to his legion of supporters.

Sure, but why would O'Keefe think his supporters and Fox and especially one of his mentors, Andrew Breitbart, not think his latest stunt was just as hilarious and heroic as they thought all his others were?

Did they bat an eye when he attempted to tamper with the 'phonelines of a U.S. Senator, or when it was revealed that his whole 'scoop' on ACORN was fabricated, generating several lawsuits and four investigations showing that ACORN had done no wrong?

No, they did not, they applauded him. They called this obviously disturbed individual a hero. Breitbart and Fox claimed he should receive a Pulitzer Prize and Republicans in Congress went so far as to introduce a Resolution in Congress to honor O'Keefe.

Here is a list of those Republicans in Congress who think that O'Keefe needs to have Congress honor him:

Will Republicans Still Honor Alleged Sex Toy Schemer James O'Keefe?

As PoliticalCorrection.org noted in January, 31 House Republicans are listed as cosponsors of a resolution to "honor" controversial fake pimp James O'Keefe for his "work as investigative journalist." Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX), who introduced the resolution, even praised O'Keefe for "setting an example for concerned citizens across America."

O'Keefe, of course, is far from someone who should be honored by Congress. On top of his long history of lying to get media attention, he is a criminal who pled guilty to posing as a telephone worker to gain entrance to Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) office under false pretenses.

So far as I know, there have been no statements from those Republicans about O'Keefe's latest massive failure to 'expose Liberals for what they are.

Fox too has been silent on the issue.

And what about all those Democrats who, without even an investigation, based only on the lies and edited tapes of Breitbart/Giles and O'Keefe helped destroy ACORN by voting to defund them?

Again from Media Matters:

First, this is a big deal. A number of conservative media figures have come forth to condemn O'Keefe's alleged actions, but Breitbart has been O'Keefe's patron, providing him with a platform, paying him "a fair salary," and saying that he deserves a Pulitzer for his work. Now he's saying that he can no longer defend O'Keefe. If ANDREW BREITBART thinks you're so unprincipled that you're toxic...

Second, Breitbart gets no points for bravery here. He dropped his response at 9 p.m. ET on a Friday, when it will assuredly get as little coverage as possible. The time to demand explanations was two days ago, back when Breitbart was threatening legal action against those who would dare to characterize O'Keefe as part of Breitbart's "crew."

Third, let's not forget, without James O'Keefe and his ACORN lies, no one would know Breitbart's name

The hypocrisy of the Right knows no bounds. Breitbart has apparently enjoyed the attention he has shamefully received from the MSM. The interviews with Bill Maher, Anderson Cooper et al, even after the revelations of what can only be described as slander and libel against so many decent Americans. Shame on the MSM also, because they helped create this blight on American journalism.

O'Keefe may be temporarily cut loose by his creators. But if history tells us anything, it is only because this time he embarrassed them beyond their ability to defend him. When the storm blows over and the public moves on, like Rove, Oliver North, John Fund, Dick Morris and so many others, he will be back.

One thing you can say about the far Right, they never abandon their foot soldiers, mostly because they created them and no matter what Breitbart is now saying, had there not been the reaction there was to what clearly was a potential crime, they would have added this to O'Keefe's list of 'conquests' against Liberals with Breitbart leading the charge. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

The big question that the MSM, if they really were journalists, would be asking is 'who is funding these people'? Instead, it is almost guaranteed that there will never be an investigation into this rightwing journalistic mafia and they will, like Rove, continue to be treated by the MSM as if they were respectable journalists.

As for Breitbart? Who does he think he is kidding?

On second thoughts, he will now be given 'respect' for his faux outrage at O'Keefe by the MSM.

1. Explanation?

He's an asshole. They both are. That was easy, wasn't it?

[gratuitous]

2. Oh, it's just a little spat

These crazy kids will be back together soon, purveying their special brand of turds for the political punchbowl. Breitbart isn't going to cut O'Keefe loose as long as O'Keefe knows so much about Breitbart's operations.

3. Hey, give the guy a break.

Amy Budreau, aimer la boudoir--how's a guy supposed to keep that snail-eating surrender-monkey talk straight?

[sabrina 1]

4. THAT'S why they went after her! She's French!

So many people to hate, so little time!

11. "Voulez-vous cliche avec moi...c'est soir?"

:rofl:

Someone posted that on another board and I've just been aching to steal it ever since.

The (Dild)O'Keefe list of secksy seduction props really made me ROFL. It was stuff some geezer in Vegas might put on the credit card to impress a potential hooker, after he spent a few hours sweatfully reading those come-on brochures handed out on the Strip.

But I was most intrigued by the musical notes - Marvin Gaye was "too cliched," but Alicia Keyes was OK. Along with "typical James" stuff.

I'm happy to report that I found the Secret List of "typical James" music that he favors for intimate seduction scenes:

God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
Danger Zone from the "Top Gun" soundtrack
Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American) by FUTK
Ballad of the Green Berets
Soundtrack from The Alamo (John Wayne version only, not the one with Billy Bob Thornton and those other libtards)
Afternoon Delight (Starland Vocal Band, of course, though The Circle Jerks version would be more appropriate)
Muskrat Love
The Horst Wessel Song
Medley, Ravel's Bolero + The 1812 Overture (for the climax)

12. Lol, 'cliche avec moi' ~

This is a mugshot of the guy who is going to seduce a woman, any woman???



In his adolescent dreams!

The list:

I see you too have been doing some undercover work! How did you ever get your hands on that secret list?

Muskrat Love Yes, very 'James' I think :rofl:

for the Climax! Do you think he's capable of climaxing?

Seriously, I think these people are certifiable. CNN's documentary on them was simply awful. Total catering to the worst of the Right, building them up, never challenging them on the lies they tell. The whole thing is sickening. O'Keefe's paranoia that CNN was 'out to make us look bad' was totally unfounded. It was practically a love-fest. No wonder Breitbart rushed to condemn O'Keefe. He was treated like royalty by CNN. To think they would have Breitbart in a documentary AFTER what he did to Shirley Sherrod without asking for HER input, it was a disgrace. I'm beginning to think that CNN IS a Rightwing organization.

5. They are mad that he got caught----

Fake outrage IMO. Never trust republicans. ---->:shrug:

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Plausible deniability at work once again.

[sabrina 1]

9. Yes, I believe they all knew about this little scheme.

Breitbart and Fox, Drudge and the other usual suspects. I hope CNN can get their hands on some of their emails. They were probably salivating at the thought of what O'Keefe was going to produce this time. Then it blew up in their faces and they are running away. O'Keefe has probably been told 'not to worry, just lie low, we have to condemn this' but he WILL be back. Just like Rove who was caught so many times pulling dirty tricks on opponents, starting in College. Fired even by Bush Sr. for his depraved attacks on someone who turned out to be a Bush Sr. friend.

They will not go away until they are taken to task by this society and let know that this country does not tolerate this kind of behavior.

Izzy Santa, the woman who was O'Keefe's cohort in this scheme, and who, for some reason in the end, could not go along with it, stopped it. If she had not, the tapes would have been edited and the damage done before anyone could fix it.

Izzy Santa was described by Abbie Boudreau as 'having dirt on her face, her lips quivering' which has led many people to wonder what exactly happened before she finally decided to warn the reporter. I have a feeling we don't know a lot about this guy, O'Keefe. He and his friends are definitely, disturbingly creepy.

[sabrina 1]

10. Yes, it is definitely fake. Breitbart probably knew

about this and was waiting for the video. He's too dumb to have seen anything wrong with it.

But their overlords, the Funders whoever they are, NEED dummies like Breitbart and O'Keefe to take the fall when necessary in their 'war on Liberals' using the Rightwing Noise Machine of which Breitbart, O'Keefe and Giles, Fox, Drudge and Limbaugh, Beck et al, are all a part of.

My guess is that the funders realized this one was a massive failure and potential embarrassment so they advised Breitbart to cut O'Keefe loose temporarily. This way, having him condemn O'Keefe publicly (I notice he didn't condemn the author of the script) preserves at least one of their Media Outlets for further use.

O'Keefe will probably go along once they tell him it's all just for public consumption and he will be well rewarded for his work later on. He'll probably get a contract with Fox. After all isn't that where all convicted felons end up, like Oliver North, Liddy, Fund, Morris et al? They'll tell him he's taking a fall for the team.

Hopefully others will come forward, Izzy Santa has, but reading the report by CNN it seems like she was not the only one who had concerns that day.

Iow, other than Santa so far, I do not believe any of them think there was anything wrong with this.

He did violate his probation when he taped the phone conversation with Abbie Boudreau in MD. That was a violation of MD's wire-tapping law. So why has he not gone to jail as anyone else on probation would have done by now?

[Canuckistanian]

7. Nonsense

In the unlikely event that O'Keefe would have SUCCEEDED in his sick little power play, I have no doubt that Breitbart WOULD HAVE RUN WITH AND PROMOTED IT.

These scum only retract after they've been exposed - and not even then sometimes.

Has Breitbart ever apologized for Shirley Sherrod? The ACORN lies?

[sabrina 1]

8. No, he has not. He is as sick and depraved as his protege

O'Keefe. And I bet he was fully aware of this 'stunt' being prepared, as was Fox which is why they have been so silent on the issue.

Not only has Breitbart not apologized for the ACORN crimes, they still claim that it was a successful sting, despite the four investigations that proved otherwise.

I blame the MSM for that as they never covered that story so they only encouraged these sick bastards to keep on churning out their lies. And then they did it to CNN, or tried to. That is the only reason this is getting the attention it is getting. ACORN SHOULD have been their last act, but those people were not CNN reporters.

[Turborama]

13. I wholeheartedly agree, these vile maggots need to be put down once and for all.

They're just psychopathic parasites and the media body that hosts them won't take the medicine that needs to be administered. Someone needs to force it down their throats, somehow.

This gang of egomaniacal misanthropes' actions are consistent with textbook definitions of sociopaths and psychopaths. I stronlgy suspect their target audience are, too.

Have you seen these definitions yet? http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html">Profile of the Sociopath & http://www.cassiopaea.com/cassiopaea/psychopath.htm">THE PSYCHOPATH - The Mask of Sanity

[sabrina 1]

14. 'I strongly suspect their target audience are too'.

I think you are correct. No sane person would be fooled by such insanity, convinced that it is some kind of journalism.

I just read that the CNN documentary was a puff-piece on these morons. And from the clip I saw, even with this latest revelation, they manage to make him look like a sane individual who is making a music video dressed in the Pimp outfit, still giving the impression that he got it right about ACORN.

I was not very impressed with Abbie Boudreau. If this is what we are expected to view as award-winning journalism, we are truly lost.

Thanks for the definitions, I think they are sociopaths.

Btw, O'Keefe recorded Boudreau without her knowledge, a violation once again, of Maryland's laws. Where is the prosecutor there? He is on probation, committing more crimes, and nothing happens to him. It's just disgusting.
