Report: James O'Keefe To Pay $100K Settlement To Former ACORN Employee

[Sallow]

And if the ACORN guy was wrongly terminated isn't his beef with ACORN?

No.

 

[Sallow]

Didn't Al Sharpton once have to pay a ton of money for his part in the Tawney Brawley fiasco and
his slander of the the prosecuting attorney?

I'm not sayin....
I'm just sayin!

EXCLUSIVE: Tawana Brawley served with court order to pay man she accused of rape - NYPOST.com

The money was paid.

And?

 

[Rozman]

And I guess O'Keefe will have to pay up...
Or get someone else to pay up like Al did...

 

[Rozman]

Doesn't seem to be a big victory here for the Democrat party!

 

[Sallow]

And I guess O'Keefe will have to pay up...
Or get someone else to pay up like Al did...

Well O'Keefe's got lots of friends.

Pony up, dude.

 

[Sallow]

Doesn't seem to be a big victory here for the Democrat party!

It ain't.

They sold ACORN down the river just as fast as Republicans.

 

[Rozman]

That's true....
They ran far and wide as fast as they could...

If you have a Twitter account and do streaming check out Kevin Spacey in House of Cards...

[theDoctorisIn]

How many laws did that ACORN employee break? James taped the conversation? OMG!!! How terrible!!!

"That ACORN employee" didn't break any laws.

 

[Avatar4321]

Why didn't the ACORN worker tell the guy to get the frack outta the office and then call the police.
Or stall the guy and have someone call the police.
Why did he give the advise in the first place...

Strange.

Now the ACORN guy gets a whole lot of Obama bucks.
$100K
Nice payday

Duh. He didn't know the guy suggesting criminal activity until the guys suggested criminal activity.

Apparently, right wingers can read minds. Too bad they don't read books.

You write that in response and you have the audacity to suggest the right read books? You would think youd take your own advice. But I guess having a piece of paper from a school tells you that you know everything. Why read more when you already know it?

You would think youd be able to read and address the question about why when the guy suggested criminal activity, why did he give him advice instead of calling the police?

Shockingly you just responded he wouldnt know the guy was suggesting criminal activity and youd have to read minds to know someone asking you how to commit crimes was suggesting criminal activity.

Seriously, is it that difficult to be honest and actually address the question instead of making ridiculous silly statements and thinking you are intelligent for doing so?

What a strange world we live in where someone can be forced to pay money for exposing criminal activity.

There was no criminal activity

O'Keefe lied

Sorry, but when people are on tape trying to tell someone how to legally traffic human beings, they have committed a crime.

The fact that one of these people get's $100,000 for doing so merely because he was being recorded without his consent is absolutely criminal.

What law was broken?

The fact that one of these people get's $100,000 for doing so merely because he was being recorded without his consent is absolutely criminal.

Let me use a hypothetical.

Let's say I were to edit a number of your posts together, making it look as bad as possible, taking you completely out of context.

Then let's say I was to broadcast it all over the country.

Would you agree that I should be liable for damages?

Falling for the ACORN Hoax ? FAIR: Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting

Last fall, O’Keefe was widely lauded for a string of undercover videos he and colleague Hannah Giles produced that allegedly exposed lax ethical standards at the community-organizing group ACORN. “You guys ought to be getting, you know, a journalism award for this,” Fox News’ Sean Hannity (9/20/09) told the duo.

The ACORN videos promoted the false premise that he and Giles had entered those offices posing as a pimp and prostitute and gotten advice on how to conceal their illegal activities. O’Keefe appeared on Fox & Friends (9/7/09; Media Matters, 2/17/10) in what the host described as “exactly in the same outfit that he wore to these ACORN offices”—a ridiculous costume reminiscent of ’70s blaxploitation films

Yet the videos O’Keefe and Giles released never actually show him dressed as a pimp inside ACORN offices, and ACORN employees contended he entered in business casual attire. Despite repeated claims to the contrary by both O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart, the conservative media producer whose Big Government website featured the videos (Stage Right Show, 2/16/10; Washington Times, 9/21/09), Giles herself admitted (Washington Independent, 2/19/10) that footage of O’Keefe in pimp costume was “purely B-roll,” and disingenuously asserted that “we never claimed that he went in with a pimp costume.”

Former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger (Independent Governance Assessment of ACORN, 12/7/09) had much earlier found that not only did O’Keefe enter ACORN offices dressed as “a college student,” but actually introduced himself as a student trying to help Giles escape an abusive pimp.

In his report, Harshbarger, who was himself denied full viewing of the tapes, concluded:

The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O’Keefe’s and Ms. Giles’s comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.

 

[Truthmatters]

According to court documents obtained by Wonkette, conservative activist James O'Keefe has agreed to a $100,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed against him by Juan Carlos Vera, a former employee of ACORN. Vera filed the suit against O'Keefe in 2010, alleging O'Keefe had illegally taped their conversation at an ACORN office in California as part of his fraudulent "exposé" of the community activist group.

Yes and Okeefe NEVER mentioned that he turned Okeefe into the police the minute he left his office.


Okeefe is the perfect right wing "investigator" he does nothing but lie and cheat people and 100,000 is not enough nor the last amount of money this criminal will be paying people for his crimes.

 

[Truthmatters]

The man has a criminal walk into his office and tries not to piss the criminal off while gleening information from him in the guise of advice and the minute the criminal leaves his office he calls the polcie and reports the criminal.


so what does the right say about the man?


They get him fired for that and PRAISE the criminal for LYING all over the place and slandering decent people for political reasons.


You people in the right who champion Okeefe are every bit as slimey as his dumb skinny arse

 

[CrusaderFrank]

For an innocent group, why did ACORN disband almost immediately after O'Keefe outed them?

 

[rdean]

How many laws did that ACORN employee break? James taped the conversation? OMG!!! How terrible!!!

Clearly you don't know what you are talking about.
