James O'Keefe Nonprofit, Project Veritas, Hampered By Funding Problems, Infighting

Politico:

After pulling off the brazen hidden camera sting credited with bringing down the liberal organizing group ACORN, James O'Keefe dreamt up an even bolder plan: to build a permanent undercover video operation that would expose institutions of the American left.

This is one spoiled snotty kid that I would not want my daughter to bring home to meet the parents. Ugh.

The Politico article repeatedly refers to O'Keefe's Acorn fraud as a "sting" as if it somehow legitimately uncovered wrongdoing. It was out and out fraud, and the fact that the removal of Acorn's funding was allowed to stand once the truth was known, is a travesty.

There is no need for a clandestine secret video operation to "expose" left leaning institutions. Unlike unlike the secret pass word protected conservative cells operating underground, liberals are wide open for anyone to look and see.

James O'keffe should be incarcerated for phone tampering, how soon we forget it was he who tapped the phone lines of an elected official in New Orleans. He is just a young Republican who will grow into an old Republican by using tactics of entrapment and lies, it is not surprising that he does not see the hypocrisy of his actions by not using these same tactics with fellow Republicans. He does not have a legitimate business so he sets up a non profit corporation to rack in money for his demented games that destroy peoples lives as well as reputation.

funny how the GOP lie: Project Veritas? They wouldn't know the truth or as one Hollywood movie said , couldn't stand it.

They are as bad as the Commies with North Korea being Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The only truthful thing is its got Korea in its name.....

I went to school someone like O’Keefe. Someone was always taking his lunch money and he never got laid

Did it ever occur to James O'Keefe to get a "real job"?

No it seems GOP/Teabags have come up with a way to scam people, by set up a supepac or some nonprofit and have someone else pay them to promote themselves, travel around the county, pay their expenses, promote the sale of their book and use the donations from their nonprofit to buy the book in volume to increase their own pockets.
