KEYPORT, NJ — James O'Keefe, the conservative activist known for his hidden-camera videos that
have made headlines, apparently was not thrilled about the idea of being videotaped himself during a speech he gave Thursday evening.

O'Keefe, who spoke to about 100 members of the Bayshore Tea Party and their supporters at Ye Cottage Inn, declined to be videotaped by an Asbury Park Press photographer who was there to cover the event.

His wishes were communicated by Tea Party members at the event, who asked the photographer to leave.

1. Most Teabagger events are not media friendly

Generally, they only want to talk to FAUX.

2. Yeah, I can see why

Somebody might edit the video of his talk and make him "look bad" out of context, and that just wouldn't be right. :sarcasm:

Actually, just showing video of him speaking ... he'd look bad with absolutely NO gotcha editing whatsoever. Kinda like the audiotape of Governor Walker. Just let the tape roll.
