Moran Gets Caught in Maroon's Sting.

[No Elephants]

You can't make it up.

Jim Moran got caught in a sting engineered by maroon and dress up American, James O'Keefe.

(You remember O'Keefe, right? The guy who thought a woman's pale gray 1940's Persian lamb cape and a wooden cane was pimp attire?) And got Congress to pass an unconstitutional bill in record time? They can't pass laws to save the environment, but a unconstitutional bill to put a voter registration organization out of business gets through Congress and the WH fast enough to make The Flash look like a snail.)

Jim Moran’s son resigns from campaign amid video furor
By Errin Haines, Published: October 24

The son of 11-term Rep. James P. Moran Jr. resigned from his father’s campaign Wednesday hours after an undercover video showed him discussing possible voter fraud with an activist posing as a campaign worker.

In the video, dated Oct. 8 and posted by conservative activist James O’Keefe, Patrick Moran does not explicitly advocate or condone the worker’s suggestion to cast ballots on behalf of 100 voters he says are unlikely to show up Nov. 6.

Moran, who appears not to know that he is being recorded, attempts to discourage the worker from carrying out the scheme, saying he should instead join get-out-the-vote efforts. But Moran, a campaign field director, also offers guidance on how to possibly skirt Virginia’s new voter identification laws. He also doesn’t tell the worker not to proceed with his plan.

Moran’s campaign issued a statement, calling it “an error in judgment.”

“Patrick is well liked and was a well-respected member of the campaign team,” Moran’s the statement says. “The campaign has accepted Patrick’s resignation, effective immediately.”

In a statement, Patrick Moran, 23, said: “In reference to the ‘O’Keefe’ video, at no point have I, or will I ever endorse any sort of illegal or unethical behavior. At no point did I take this person seriously. He struck me as being unstable and joking, and for only that reason did I humor him.

“In hindsight, I should have immediately walked away, making it clear that there is no place in the electoral process for even the suggestion of illegal behavior: joking or not. In regards to my position on the campaign, I have stepped down because I do not want to be a distraction during this year’s critical election.”

James Moran (D-Va.) was first elected to the House in 1990. The veteran’s district includes Arlington County, Alexandria, Falls Church and portions of Fairfax County.

State Democratic Party Chairman Brian Moran, his brother, called the incident “a mistake.”

I can see where O'Keefe would appear unstable.

Wouldn't ya think, though, that after the ACORN/pimp deal and the Landrieu/telephone repairman deal, Democrats would post a photo of this jerk in their offices and warn people about him?

1. Yes

One would think Democrats would post a photo of this O'Keefe jerk.

2. Ruh Roh. Another O'Keefe sting: DNC fires staffer who allegedly helped him vote in 2 states and

O’Keefe has said he was more footage relating to the abuse of voting laws, and that he will release these one at a time in the coming weeks as “we challenge journalists to report the facts and not try to pretend like nothing was there, because I am not bluffing when I say that there is even more damning material up ahead.”

oh, great. Even the DNC itself is not smart enough to familiarize employees with his photo.
