Video: James O'Keefe DESTROYS Occupy Wall Street With "Veritas"

Video: James O'Keefe DESTROYS Occupy Wall Street With "Veritas"

Important journalist James O'Keefe visited Zuccotti Park Monday to blow the lid off the corrupt Occupy Wall Street protesters, and boy did he ever. O'Keefe's organization, called Project Veritas, (Latin for "Credit Card Debt") specializes in exposing the truth through lies: specifically, lying to everyone being filmed and lying to its viewers, who have no idea how the tape is edited. more ›

ACORN-Slaying "Journalist" James O'Keefe Visits Zuccotti Park

ACORN-Slaying "Journalist" James O'Keefe Visits Zuccotti Park

While Kanye West teased the Wall Street Occupiers with his gold teeth, self-styled watchdog journalist of the left and Brietbart bedfellow James O'Keefe also visited Zuccotti Park earlier today. Tweets about O'Keefe's appearance were alarming the protesters considering his history of selective editing, garnering national media scrutiny, and idiotic but sexxxy tactics. more ›

NPR President Resigns Following Hidden Camera Flap

NPR President Resigns Following Hidden Camera Flap

Yesterday, outgoing NPR executive Ron Schiller resigned after conservative gadfly James O'Keefe released one of his hidden camera exposes, this one documenting Schiller calling the "tea party people" not "just Islamophobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people." Of course, you're not allowed to point out the obvious in certain situations, so NPR apologized and forced the guy out early. And now NPR's CEO, Vivian Schiller (no relation), has also resigned over the incident of candid truth-telling. more ›

Anti-Abortion Group's "Pimp" Stunt Targets Planned Parenthood

Anti-Abortion Group's "Pimp" Stunt Targets Planned Parenthood

An anti-abortion group linked to right-wing gadfly James O'Keefe has produced its own hidden camera video purporting to show a pimp and a prostitute getting advice from a familiar conservative target. How many times can this gimmick jump the shark? Last time, the target was community-organizing group ACORN; this time it's Planned Parenthood. The approach is very similar: a man claiming to be a pimp enters the Planned Parenthood clinic in the Bronx and asks about health services for underage sex workers. Gotcha? more ›

ACORN Video "Pimp" Back With New One About Teachers

ACORN Video "Pimp" Back With New One About Teachers

Right-wing gadfly James O'Keefe's recent attempts at gotcha citizen journalism—such as allegedly bugging the phones in Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office and trying to lure a CNN reporter onto his dildo lube boat—have not gone so well, so it's nice to see him finally pull off a successful follow-up to his hit video that purported to show ACORN employees giving tax advice to a prostitute. O'Keefe's target this time is a group of teachers gathered for what seems to be a booze-fueled union conference at a Hilton. The hidden camera opus is called "Teachers Gone Wild" and it makes the educators seem like dumb inebriated lizards cavorting in a reptile zoo. On the plus side, none of them expose their chests. more ›

ACORN "Pimp" Swears He Wasn't Bugging Phones

ACORN "Pimp" Swears He Wasn't Bugging Phones

James O’Keefe, the twenty-something conservative gadfly, has issued a statement explaining why he, with three others, were arrested for posing as telephone workers in Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office on Monday. O'Keefe, who got famous after he punk'd some workers at community organizing group ACORN last September, says that contrary to "the false claims being repeated by much of the mainstream media," they were not trying to bug Landrieu's phones. Oh no, they were just trying to verify why her "constituents were having trouble getting through to her office." While O'Keefe admits he could have "used a different approach," he expects the media to apologize "for their journalistic malpractice" at once! In the meantime, he's charged with "entering a federal property on false pretenses with the purpose of committing a felony," which is how latte-swilling Obama elites treat Real Americans who are only trying to help. more ›

ACORN Video Hack Busted Bugging Senator's Phones

ACORN Video Hack Busted Bugging Senator's Phones

Remember that conservative kid who punk'd the community organizing group ACORN with a hidden camera, fueling a right-wing backlash against the organization that contributed to Congress cutting their funding? We don't want to disillusion you or anything, but it turns out he's kind of shady. On Monday, James O'Keefe and three pals—all 24 years old—were arrested in New Orleans trying to bug the phones of Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office. Naturally, O'Keefe videotaped the whole thing, so there's that to look forward to. more ›

ACORN Video Sting Guy Also "Targeted" Irish-Bashing Lucky Charms

ACORN Video Sting Guy Also "Targeted" Irish-Bashing Lucky Charms

Before he got famous exposing low-income community advocacy group ACORN as an organization employing a few gullible do-gooders, conservative provocateur James O'Keefe had fun at Rutgers riling up the liberals. The 25-year-old "Borat of the right" first cut his teeth in the hidden camera game while enrolled as a philosophy student at the New Jersey university. Posing as an overly-sensitive Irishman disturbed by the presence of Lucky Charms in the cafeteria, O'Keefe met with an assistant director at Rutgers dining services. During the meeting, O'Keefe explains that the leprachaun on the cereal box is hurtful: "He's portrayed as a green-cladded (sic) gnome, and as you can see ... we're not all short. We have differences of height, and we think this is stereotypical of Irish-Americans." more ›
