ReTHUGS wary of O'Keefe

Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas), the resolution’s author and sponsor, said in a statement that “Individuals who lawfully expose wrongful activities by an entity like ACORN receiving federal tax dollars should be praised.”

“However, if recent events conclude that any laws were broken in the incident in Senator Landrieu’s office – that is not something I condone,” Olson said. “Citizens have an important role in helping to expose waste and/or fraud when their tax dollars are being spent, but it must be done in a lawful manner.”

Conservative bloggers were also careful in what they said about O’Keefe, not ready to discard the young journalist, but also not willing to defend him.

Fox News host Glenn Beck, who gave considerable attention to the ACORN videos on his TV show told his radio audience Wednesday that if the charges against O’Keefe are true, it is “insanely stupid and illegal” behavior. “I haven’t heard his side, but you don’t do anything illegal, that’s Watergate territory,” Beck said. “You don’t do anything to hurt security for the president or for a senator or anybody else. You don’t mess around with it. Ever.”

“They are, of course, presumed innocent until proven guilty,” wrote conservative blogger Michelle Malkin about the accused. “But for now, let it be a lesson to aspiring young conservatives interested in investigative journalism: Know your limits. Know the law. Don’t get carried away. And don’t become what you are targeting.”

O'Keefe is a poster boy for conservative values

I'm always astonished when scum like beck and malkin shy away from people they create.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. Don't let Beck and others spin it as a prank

because this is just the tip of the iceberg

[malaise]

3. His father just tried that on Dylan Ratigan's show

Bertha Lewis from Acorn is on now.
O'Keefe committed crimes in three states - hahahahaha.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. O'Keefe should be locked up

there's probably more

[gateley]

4. They're trying to plant the seed, as did O'Keef's father who was just on Dylan

Ratigan, that they were trying to expose some dirty Landrieu dealings:

“Citizens have an important role in helping to expose waste and/or fraud when their tax dollars are being spent, but it must be done in a lawful manner.”

5. It's similar to their defense of the murderer of the

pro-choice doctor. Blame the victim for the RETHUG crime.

[BOSSHOG]

7. I'd put that

murderer on the stand and grill his sorry ass conservative fucking sack of shit body. Name the people who would be saved by your murdering the doctor. Give me names motherfucker. If the doctor you targeted referred his clients to another doctor would you murder that doctor?

Conservatism is a mental illness; there can be no doubt.

[malaise]

10. You should be the prosecutor

9. I think there should be a concerted effort to publicly mock and humiliate every cosponsor of that

resolution to honor the James (wannabe) Gang.

11. Wasn't it also illegal in 2 or 3 states for O'Keefe to secretly record the Acorn workers?

This isn't his first rodeo.

Why didn't Olson, Beck and the rest of them condemn O'Keefe for breaking the law then?
