[WeDidIt]

1. Fifty years

That's my prediction for his fucking sentence.

[TheBigotBasher]

15. It would be if it was in any way associated with the Democratic Party.

Or if it was an African American. Or if it was someone working for ACORN.

For this lot, anything from a fine to 5 years.

[havocmom]

16. and then a job with FAUX

[jobycom]

27. He's an insignificant little street dealer to them

He embarrassed them. He'll be lucky if he doesn't commit suicide.

[JDPriestly]

23. What if they got caught on purpose?

What if they were actually removing bugs or renewing part of the equipment and this is their way of making someone ask what they were finding out?

These are also possibilities. We really don't know what these kooks were doing in there yet? It may be some sort of publicity stunt.

[struggle4progress]

40. Justice Department press release said ten. Of course, there might be more to the story

after further investigation :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[John Q. Citizen]

2. He's not making bail?

[WeDidIt]

6. Somebody already covered his bail

My guess is Andrew Breitbart.

Furthermore, I predict it will come out Breitbart was the brains and money behind the operation.

[Suich]

10. Earlier post:

Hey, my son is friends with the photographer!

[RedCloud]

21. He's too slender for those prison bullies.

Imagine what would happen if they find out this prick tries to stop blacks from voting.

[frazzled]

3. Um, journalists aren't allowed to fraudently enter a government building with ...

intent to commit a federal crime.

God, everyone thinks they are a journalist now.

[Canuckistanian]

4. Free, God almighty, free at last!

And the truth shall put his ass in jail after the sentencing.

[onehandle]

5. "I am a criminal. My cellmate will punch my dance card" nt

[jefferson_dem]

14. Then...he'll learn what real "TEABAGGING" is...

Bwhahahahah

[onehandle]

24. Samantha: 'Oh honey, I totally understand. Just breathe through your nose.' nt

[bridgit]

7. O'Keefe is a dangerous republican tool, and in this case the truth will spank him instead

:spank:

[rufus dog]

8. Now that FUCKING PISSES ME OFF!

This puke quotes King!

[Vogon_Glory]

9. Is It Too Much To Hope That When O'Keefe Goes Into Court...

Is it too much to hope that when O'Keefe's case moves into federal court, the prosecutor says "I am a prosecutor, I am a very good prosecutor, and I will demonstrate the case beyond a reasonable doubt"--and that he (Or she DOES) lay out his (Or her) case beyond a reasonable doubt?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. So... it was a reality show pilot?

[TxVietVet]

12. If Okeefe is a journalist

I'm a one-eye one-arm astronaut. ;*

he got caught redhanded. This is going to be interesting UNLESS our Department of Injustice decides to roll over on the charges and not investigate.
Seems to be that the Department of Injustice is more intent of protecting the bu$h regime war criminals than defending the Constitution and laws of the US. :wtf:

[BlueIdaho]

13. No, the truth shall get you 15-20. nt.

[Me.]

17. What A Riot

The fool is tweeting.

[blogslut]

18. As we say down south

Bless his lil' heart.

[WolverineDG]

19. but you're not allowed to break the law

and tampering with federal property is a very big no-no.

22. Nasty boy.. Jesus doan like it when you quote him...

to justify your idiotic behavior....

"Set you free..." gonna be a long time before you're free...

[MadMaddie]

25. He is a fool

His dad must be shitting in his pants. This kid is going to bury himself.

[eleny]

26. The truth is going to put you away, shithead

[jobycom]

28. The Truth has been hiding in a dark alley just waiting to cap his stupid ass.

He goes around assaulting the Truth, the Truth eventually is going to catch up to him, and it won't be pretty.

[peacetalksforall]

29. Reminds me of Jeff Gannon.

[Brother Buzz]

35. Both attended the Leadership Institute

O'Keefe was a recruiter for the Leadership Institute. Gannon received his journalism "cred" at the Leadership Institute. Coincidence?

30. He's pathological. Filled with hatred to the point where he

has lost all sense of reason. Republicans use stooges like him all the time. He and Breitbart are badly in need of help. I'm beginning to feel sorry for him in a way. He has a long troubled history of hate inspired activities and much of his 'journalism' is tinged with racism.

He scrubbed his blog after he was found to be lying in the last little stunt he pulled but before he did, there was a very revealing post by him about his college roommates accusing him of racism.

He has made some pretty nasty statements about black people. And most of his stunts, such as his 'pimp' act, were thought up with African Americans in mind. After all, what would those ACORN workers relate to if not 'whores and pimps'? Not the first time either. This guy needs to get some real professional help although I'm not sure you can cure the kind of deep-rooted obsessive hatred that he is afflicted with.

[Lavender Brown]

31. LOL, talk about delusions of grandeur

What a loser.

[arcadian]

32. I'm a patsy!

[alcibiades_mystery]

33. He's tweeting about federal charges?

Ay yay yay.

Toasty.

[JI7]

34. wannabe scumbag loser , loser for life now, only worshipped by the scum

[Jennicut]

36. The truth doesn't care who you are. It illuminates how stupid people can be however

[TroglodyteScholar]

37. Keep digging, kid. n/t

[ChicagoSuz219]

38. I don't tweet...

...or I'd tweet back, "Keep dreaming."

What a twit!

[Blue_Tires]

39. last refuge of the scoundrel

oh, and fwiw, I was a journalist for awhile myself (and REAL journalist, might I add)... and I don't recall any of my colleagues or I breaking into offices in a silly disguise (you do realize "Fletch" was just a movie, right??)

Don't you DARE fucking associate yourself with a profession many of us out here still view as honorable...

[gkhouston]

41. Already not doing a good job of keeping his mouth shut. His lawyer's gonna love him. n/t
