James O'Keefe, the self-styled guerilla investigative journalist celebrated for his video on ACORN and arrested last month in New Orleans in an attempted expose of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, got a rock star welcome at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday.

O'Keefe, 25, wasn't scheduled to do any official events at CPAC, as the conference is known, but he attracted plenty of attention as he waded through the lobby of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, where the conference is taking place, posing for pictures with admiring fans who wished him well in his pending court case.

O'Keefe breaks the law, and his Republican friends approve. And Breitbart says:
"I want to be an American idol for weaponized freedom fighters."

Certainly no one thought this guy would face any sort of punishment here in New Orleans.

If you're ever wondered what Ann Coulter's fans look like look at this one. He would ask her a question from the crowd and then blubber out the words, "We Love You, Ann!"

These guys are completely harmless. No fears, friends.

I couldn't put my finger on it as to who O'Keefe looked like and then it came to me: Lee Harvey Oswald.

White kid, first offense, power political friends...

Lets see...500 hours community service, 1-2 year suspended sentence. Harsh warning.

That's my guess.
