Does anyone really think O'Keefe & peeps were acting alone?
Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 05:52 PM by CoffeeCat
Oh please. This guy was a hero among the nefarious, criminal faction of the
Republican party. After all of the back-slapping, ass kissing and "You are
the future of the Republican party!" gushing--they took him under their wing
and convinced him to do the dirty work.

Are we actually supposed to believe that he would bug a Senator's office on
his own? Come on.

Hell, if he'd dress up as a pimp and work at getting a dirty quote until he
had it in the bag---they figured he was the type of guy who would do anything.

O'Keefe was a little thug--taking orders from the big thugs.

The question is...who are the big thugs?

I hope to hell he and the other minions sing like chickadees. We all know
that wiretapping/blackmail is a staple in Republican circles. It's how they
control people and get their way. This has been happening for decades.

We never understood the logistics. Now, I think we do. Get some over-eager
Fascist wannabees--pump them up, promise them a great future with the neocons--and
send them off to do the grunge work.

This cabal needs to be exposed, and let's just hope that O'Keefe & Pals realizes
that they were being used--and that they are expendable objects to these thugs.

Let's hope this reckless, criminal ploy is the catalyst that finally casts some much-needed sunlight
into the dark recesses of the Republican party--exposing these goons once and for all.

3. No, I don't. He has "sucker" written all over him.

4. I bet his old
gonads were dancing up and down, thinking I am a righty big big shot. Til he got caught.

5. Oh, probably, but...
but if he does have accomplices, I doubt they'll be very important.

Just cause I'm a pessimist.

6. I assume the FBI have seized O'Keefe & Pals computers
and they would look at their emails for outside thugs.

7. I don't know, but I don't think Brietbart was out of the loop.
You don't keep someone on salary when they haven't contributed anything to your business since November unless you know they're working on their next project. The idea that the boss was out of the loop on this is ridiculous.

8. I love the spin I heard last night.....
"What does Landrieu have to hide?" "There must have been some reason there were doing this."
This essentially what Pierre Thomas on ABC was asking.

Trust me...the right wing will turn this around and it will get little traction. They are magicians are deflecting.

9. I don't they acted alone.
The ACORN deal was one thing. But, a Senator's office? Let's tug on some threads.

10. A Federal felony does not look good on a resume. Have they
even thought ahead to the ramifications of this stunt? O'Keefe was already dumped as a keynote speaker by a GOP group. This is not going to end well for them, not at all.

11. I worry about idiots like these. Someone was able to convince
them that breaking into a Senator's office and tapping the phone was a 'good idea'. If they can be made to believe that and act on it, they are malleable enough to do just about anything.
