Have you read or heard about James O’Keefe- he’s being labeled by the media as the ”Acorn conservative antagonist”. Most of you are probably hearing or reading his name for the first time these last few days. Oddly, O’Keefe is best known for undercover filming of Acorn employees engaging and promoting illegal activity that no less included tax fraud, prostitution, money laundering, human trafficking, and pedophilia. It’s no surprise that so many would not know that since the mainstream media went out of its way to ignore the story. In fact, it took the New York Times SIX days to report the story. But, they are getting better– almost immediately, the New York Times published an article about the arrest of O’Keefe for allege wiretapping.
Liberals in the media and in the blogshpere have been quick to pass judgment on O’Keefe. Yes, the same liberals who want to read terrorist their Miranda rights and who want to grant them the benefit of the doubt until proven guilty in a court of law. But, O’Keefe? No, of course not. O’Keefe dared to investigate the machinations of Acorn. To liberals, O’Keefe is the true enemy of “their” democracy not some terrorist blowing up innocent people on a Christmas day.
But, were the liberals too quick to accuse O’Keefe of some insidious plan to wiretap Senator Landrieu’s office in the hopes of somehow tying this to a Republican sanction operation? Democrats are already calling it the Louisiana Watergate. Well, things might not pan out for the liberals hoping to score a big one. Andrew Breitbart seems to believe that O’Keefe will be exonerated and the press will have egg of their face once again. If that happens, don’t expect the New York Times to be so quick to report the vindication.
