James O'Keefe Strikes Again: Mail in ballots in Colorado.

[Care4all]

I am not sure how anyone can believe O'Keefe at this point. I don't a crap what side of the aisle you reside on but his videos are edited and doctored in a way to fit his narrative and the narrative of his supporters. I would take everything he reports on with a very small grain of salt.

Everyone does that, why do you hold O'Keefe to a higher set of standards? Again, when people complain about his "lying" they refer to his methods, not the content. When they refer to his editing, they don't show complete disproving of what he is recording, they try to to "explain" what is actually happening.

Investigative reporting such as this is messy, ugly, and is needed. If only our mainstream media would do its job.

Sorry

But nobody else sinks to the level of deceipt that O'Keefe does

Stop trying to compare him to legitimate journalists

Much talky talky, no linky linky, or proofy proofy.

ACORN

On December 7, 2009, the former Massachusetts Attorney General, after an independent internal investigation of ACORN, found the videos that had been released appeared to have been edited, "in some cases substantially". He found no evidence of criminal conduct by ACORN employees, but concluded that ACORN had poor management practices that contributed to unprofessional actions by a number of its low-level employees.[97][98][99][100] On March 1, 2010, the District Attorney's office for Brooklyn determined that the videos were "heavily edited" and "many of the seemingly crime-encouraging answers were taken out of context so as to appear more sinister",[101] and concluded that there was no criminal wrongdoing by the ACORN staff in the videos from the Brooklyn ACORN office.[102][103] On April 1, 2010, an investigation by the California Attorney General found the videos from Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino to be "heavily edited,"[9] and the investigation did not find evidence of criminal conduct on the part of ACORN employees.[9][89] On June 14, 2010, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released its findings which showed that ACORN evidenced no sign that it, or any of its related organizations, mishandled any federal money they had received.[104][105]

So the governments that provided funding for ACORN found "irregularities, and issues with low level workers" but no criminal actions.

Surprise surprise. Again they attacked the how, not the what, just as you are doing.

Keep spinning, it is fucking hilarious.

no one is spinning this but you Marty....

Would you truly support a scam artist that used highly edited tapes that depicted a FALSE scenario if this were a democratic scam artist that supported obama? And would you truly call this scam artist an investigative reporter? COME ON Marty, you surely are smarter than that....

STOP digging your hole even deeper, and tell the truth....

BTW the low level employees that registered Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse did so on their own, not with the direction of Acorn heads, and fraudulently did so as a scam to get more money from their employer than they deserved and they WERE PROSECUTED for doing such.... but Acorn did NOT direct these actions of the rotten apples.

If my inspectors falsified documents I would be held responsible.

Was everything those people said in the ACORN video false? Did they not give advice even when the actions O'keefe was purporting were made clear to them?

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. The fact that O'keefe pisses off progressives so much is worth second of it.

Again, you go over how and not what.

Video activist James O Keefe targets Colorado s new mail voting law Democratic groups - The Denver Post

It seems the O'Keefe story smelled from the begining. True, O'Keefe did meet with certain campaign, but according the Denver Post O'Keefe "Was using sleazy, deceptive tactics to undermine the public's trust in democracy."

In other words, being his usual lying self.

Conservative Provocateur Creates Fake LGBT Group To ‘Expose’ Voter Fraud

by Zack Ford Posted on October 21, 2014 at 9:13 am



James O’Keefe, perhaps best known as the undercover pimp who targeted the community organizing group ACORN, has once again been trying to target Democratic candidates with undercover schemes, this time in Colorado. Last week, he and two collaborators tried to bait field staffers working on the reelection campaign for Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) into approving voter fraud using Colorado’s new vote-by-mail system.


This year will be the first time Colorado voters have the opportunity to vote in a general election by mail. All registered voters will receive a ballot in the mail that they simply fill out and return. On several occasions, O’Keefe and his collaborators approached Udall campaign staffers to suggest that they fill out these ballots for other people.


In one case, a man visited a Democratic field office in Boulder hoping to volunteer for the campaign. Identifying himself with an LGBT activist student group called Rocky Mountain Vote Pride, the individual suggested that he could fill out mail-in ballots for other college students who had moved away but still received mail on campus. Though he was turned away, he came back another time, bringing along a friend he introduced as a “civics professor” from the University of Colorado-Boulder who also served as the faculty adviser for Rocky Mountain Vote Pride. Staffers later confirmed that the “professor” was, in fact, O’Keefe himself, matching his appearance to a photo O’Keefe tweeted of himself in disguise as a “45 yo” with a mustache.


Rocky Mountain Vote Pride does not seem to be a real group. It has a basic website and Facebook page, neither of which contains any contact information. The website suggests it’s a student group dedicated to advancing “voter participation and equality in America,” listing some basic polling on marriage equality, without citation.


O’Keefe’s Project Veritas would not confirm to Mother Jones any “operations in Colorado,” but spokesman Stephen Gordon said to “watch for our upcoming videos.”


Recently, O’Keefe tried to expose Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) as secretly supporting same-sex marriage — he’s one of the only Democrats in the Senate who doesn’t. In 2010, O’Keefe and his mentor applied for same-sex marriage licenses in Massachusetts, telling clerks they were straight and just wanted insurance coverage, seemingly just to prove that they could.

Its called investigative reporting, and kudos to the people that turned him away (or at least recognized him). However that doesn't answer the question about the people that DID say it was OK to go out, collect unused ballots and cast them.

That is nowhere near investigative reporting. Investigative reporting does it's due diligence to report what is actually happening. This jerk is nothing more than a scam artist who manipulates and edits the truth to make is look like his lie is the truth. He is disgusting excuse for a human being. Of course that perfectly conforms to the right wing moral code. As in no morals.

You ignore the fact that these ballots CAN be sent in by just about anyone.
You ignore the fact that the people in the video thought collecting and sending them in was a GREAT idea.

If showing the truth is undermining democracy, you assholes have a skewed version of democracy.

Anatomy of a James O'Keefe video

Okeefe: Do you love America?
Response: It is the greatest country in the world

After editing the off camera question

Okeefe: Do you love North Korea?
Response: It is the greatest country in the world

Why conservatives continue trying to sell the garbage put out by this propagandist is beyond me

So the woman in the Video IS NOT saying to go out, collect thrown out ballots, and cast them?

Its an O'Keefe video

We have no assurance what was said and what was asked and what he edited out

I'm not even going to watch it. I feel like I need a shower after watching one of his videos

What he edited out, if he even did, does not matter. What matters is what was recorded. You can't edit in something that is not said.

 

[TooTall]

Looks like some people think unused mail in ballots really need to be sent in, even if you are not the person it was sent to.

New James O 8217 Keefe video Lefty organizers in Colorado wouldn 8217 t support voter fraud on Mark Udall 8217 s behalf would they Hot Air

Watch for the part of the clip where one organizer advises O’Keefe and crew to visit “ghetto Aurora” if they’re looking for discarded mail-in ballots to collect and cast illegally on behalf of their owners. Lots of black and Latino voters there simply throw their ballots away, she assures him; you’ll find a nice haul of blank ones if you’re willing to pick through a little trash.

Did you know, incidentally, that some lefties there recognized him and realized they were being stung? Not all did, as you’ll soon see in gory detail, but a few. (O’Keefe himself mentions it later in the video.) Some progressive groups were sufficiently nervous about what might turn up in this clip that they went running to Mother Jones this past weekend to note that not all of them condone voter fraud, with MJ claiming at least two instances where organizers rejected Team O’Keefe’s proposals for some sort of illegal shenanigans. Here’s my favorite part, though:

O'Keefe is a known liar.

UPDATED The Lies Of James O Keefe Research Media Matters for America

You of course choose to believe the lies.

Figures.

You would rather believe the lies.

You use the term liar and mediamatters in the same sentence? LOL.

He is going undercover as an investigative reporter. the use of a cover implies a level of falsehood. The videos speak for themselves.

And your side bitching about video/audio or any editing is laughable on its face. Remember the Zimmerman 911 tape?

Face it, you cant attack the base of his results, so you go after the methods. Its sad and pathetic.

Media Matters is telling the truth about O'Keefe. You would rather believe the lies of O'Keefe than accept the truth about O'Keefe.

I can and I do attack his results. O'Keefe IS A LIAR.

There is no reason, based on his prior actions to believe that O'Keefe is in any way, shape and or form telling the truth.

O'Keefe traffics in edited tapes and fraudulent action. O'Keefe would rather lie (which is what YOU would rather believe) than tell the truth.

Media Matters is telling the truth, a truth YOU do not want to hear or read because for you believing the LIES Of O'KEEFE is so much easier.

You know O'Keefe is a liar and you do not care that O'Keefe is a LIAR.

You would RATHER BELIEVE A LIAR THAN ACCEPT THE TRUTH.

If you believe Media Matters you have just believed a liar.

Oh don't worry, some have already accused him of dubbing in some of the stuff.

The only person to have settled a lawsuit against him so far is a guy who reported the incident to the police after O'Keefe left. All the others were thrown out.

 

[Ravi]

What he edited out, if he even did, does not matter. What matters is what was recorded. You can't edit in something that is not said.

Right, but you can edit out the question. For all we know he said he was going to take all those ballots to a recycle center, build paper airplanes out of them, or make them into pulp and then into homemade paper. And he obviously cut out the question he asked and spliced the video together to make it out to be an answer to another question.

He's famous for doing that just like you nits are famous for believing him. It's because you suffer from confirmation bias. And frankly, are stupid.

Right after all those guys on your side release their unedited tapes of interviews and such....

LOL.

 

[LeftofLeft]

I am not sure how anyone can believe O'Keefe at this point. I don't a crap what side of the aisle you reside on but his videos are edited and doctored in a way to fit his narrative and the narrative of his supporters. I would take everything he reports on with a very small grain of salt.

Everyone does that, why do you hold O'Keefe to a higher set of standards? Again, when people complain about his "lying" they refer to his methods, not the content. When they refer to his editing, they don't show complete disproving of what he is recording, they try to to "explain" what is actually happening.

Investigative reporting such as this is messy, ugly, and is needed. If only our mainstream media would do its job.

Sorry

But nobody else sinks to the level of deceipt that O'Keefe does

Stop trying to compare him to legitimate journalists

James O'Keefe is already leaps ahead of CBS and NBC; the so-called legits:

Dan Rather and CBS brought Bush's alleged National Guard records on the eve of the election to prove he was AWOL in 1972. Problem was, the font type was created in MS Word and Microsoft did not have a Word version in 1972 because they were not founded until 1974 and MS Word not released until 1992. NBC news doctored Zimmerman's 911 calls to fit the narrative that Zimmerman was racially motivated to take out Martin.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Well, it seems he told the truth enough that ACORN was dismantled.

ACORN was never dismantled. It merely changed its name, printed new letterheads, and then kept doing all the illegal activities it had done before.
