FBI Arrests James O'Keefe At Landrieu's Office - The Atlantic Politics Channel

James O'Keefe, the conservative filmmaker who posed as a pimp in video stings at ACORN field offices, has been arrested by the FBI at Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) office in downtown New Orleans, in connection to what appears to be an attempt to wiretap the offiice, NOLA.com reports:

FBI Special Agent Steven Rayes alleges that O'Keefe aided and abetted two others, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, who dressed up as employees of a telephone company and attempted to interfere with the office's telephone system.

A fourth person, Stan Dai, was accused of aiding and abetting Basel and Flanagan. All four were charged with entering fedral property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.

O'Keefe gained notoriety for his secretly filmed ACORN videos, which caused a firestorm of media intrigue surrounding ACORN after O'Keefe posted them on the Andrew-Brietbart-owned blog Big Government last year.

Wow. When I read this thread headline, my immediate reaction was that this is incredible news. Shocking. I had just one question: Who the **** is James O'Keefe?

It is amazing how far the Polanski loving left will reach !

On a side note Sarah Palins Husky lifted his leg on a snow pile and Al Gore
is now blaming the dog for contributing to the melting of the Polar ice caps.

Interesting. I'd like to see the whole story on what they were actually trying to do. Was this for a new documentary?

Were you not posting here when we had the various discussions about right-wingers entrapping ACORN employees? If not, one of the good things about the board is that thanks to each other we learn new things. You should go back and read some of the ACORN threads where I'm sure your point of view is well represented. Then this thread might make more sense to you.

ACORN is a political organization that has been proven to be corrupt in just about every way imaginable. You can't defend them, so you simply try to attack one of the many, many individuals who has exposed them for the morally and intellectually bankrupt organization they are. Yes, that's right. ACORN is both morally and intellectually bankrupt with a perverse agenda.Could you please refrain from making personal attacks against me? They are against the rules of the forum. Thank you.

Damn, I guess this means we won't get to see Landrieu's TOTAL corruption and raping of the American people live and in grainy video images.

What a shame.

I'm too tired to click links, so I've got no clue what happened. I will say that if the people in question were attempting to bug the phones of a senator, then they're in trouble, and rightfully so. I'll read up on it tomorrow.


Entrapped Acorn? Ahahahahahahahaha!!!! Remember though everyone, Patters is the one who cares about children. Just not the one's that Acorn helps push into sexual slavery, or any others that can be exploited for political gain.
