Video: In Where A Liberal Shrieking Harpy's Video Makes The Exact Opposite Point She Intended

During the Netroots/Right Online dueling conventions last weekend, failed Air America radio host Nicole Sandler confronts James O'Keefe then posts this.

For whatever reason, I don't know why. It's not as if she pegged O'Keefe in a lie. She's fixated on the pimp costume that O'Keefe wore when he was promoting his ACORN sting videos.

Which really is a non-issue. The heart of the matter of the ACORN videos was that they were actively helping O'Keefe and Hannah Giles in setting up their 'brothel'. With underage illegal aliens. Which wasn't an issue with any of ACORN offices ("Let's see. . . Form 42B. That should cover 'House of ill-repute and Tax Shelter'. Thank you for stopping by ACORN").

The issue of the pimp costume is about as relevant to the perv knocking on Chris Hanson's door and saying that he's in the clear because there actually wasn't a 14 year old boy at the house.

But they fixating on the costume thinking that if they bust O'Keefe on the costume, it renders the rest of the videos moot. But it's not a chain of evidence where if one link breaks the chain is gone. It's a braided rope where if a strand breaks, the rest of the videos are still attached. It shouldn't matter what O'Keefe or Giles wore. The truth of the matter was the trained staff reacted the same way when asked for help in setting up a tax shelter for the brothel.

None of that matters to Ms. Sandler who insists herself upon O'Keefe. Her liberalism is a mental disorder and her ears can't hear or understand that.

Audio: James O'Keefe Was On Red Radio Last Night

The first part is here. The rest is at the Red Radio site.

It's pretty good. O'Keefe goes into his background to explain how he got to where he is today. He also tells his side of the story with what happened in Louisiana and Sen. Mary Landrieu.



By the way, Heidi and Vincent are doing good work with Red Radio, check them out on a Thursday night.

The Power Of Your Vote

It may not seem like much but your vote is the single most powerful tool you have in helping to shape our nation. No other government is as beholding to the citizens than our country. All because of "One man, one vote."

Which is why when groups like ACORN help to perpetrate voter fraud is really a literal threat at our government and way of life. When fraud happens, it takes away your vote. It's not just one vote canceling out yours but it's two votes, three votes or more votes from one person canceling out your voice.

And your vote isn't just a vote. It's your voice in saying how you want your government to be ran. There isn't a monarch that a Prime Minister needs to kneel before, asking for permission on how to form the government. The vote is your most important tool that you can use to help shape this Republic.

So when voter fraud happens, it's not just canceling out your vote but its stealing your voice in how you want the country to be ran.

And it looks like it's up to "We The People" to do something about it:

When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends sat down and started talking politics several years ago, they soon agreed that talking wasn’t enough. They wanted to do more. So when the 2008 election came around, “about 50” of her friends volunteered to work at Houston’s polling places.

“What we saw shocked us,” she said. “There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help. It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights.”

Their shared experience, she says, created “True the Vote,” a citizen-based grassroots organization that began collecting publicly available voting data to prove that what they saw in their day at the polls was, indeed, happening -- and that it was happening everywhere.
[. . .]
“The first thing we started to do was look at houses with more than six voters in them" Engelbrecht said, because those houses were the most likely to have fraudulent registrations attached to them. "Most voting districts had 1,800 if they were Republican and 2,400 of these houses if they were Democratic . . .

"But we came across one with 24,000, and that was where we started looking."
[. . .]
The group called for help and quickly got 30 donated computers and “tens of thousands of hours” of volunteer work. And then the questions started to arise.

“Vacant lots had several voters registered on them. An eight-bed halfway house had more than 40 voters registered at its address,” Engelbrecht said. “We then decided to look at who was registering the voters."
[. . .]
Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Sean Caddle, who also worked for the Service Employees International Union before coming to Houston. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid.

Be sure to read the rest.

It shouldn't be surprising. It's the radical left who is pushing much of the voter fraud. They lie, cheat and steal in order to obtain power.

The "True The Vote" people helped to produce this video. Hopefully, more and more conservatives will take noticed and can take action in their own districts.

Bertha Lewis Arrested

Of ACORN fame.

The people who knows who she is will either laugh at her or take her being arrested as a badge of honor, depending on which side of the political spectrum the fall on.

An Indictment Against The Left Wing Media

This is actually the second part of Andrew Breitbart's speech at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference that's happening right now in Washington D.C. Sadly, I couldn't make it up there this year. Next year, however, expect a different report.)

This part highlights the stings against ACORN that happened last year. And just how itellectually incurious most of the media has been regarding ACORN and their desire-- nay, zeal-- to help start a brothel with underage illegal immigrants.



After listening to this, it's difficult to say that the Left Wing Media is unbiased. Or even that they can safely put their personal bias in a box then report only 'the facts'. When it's been obvious that they've never done that.

Don't forget who is in ACORN's corner.

Oh Crap

James O'Keefe arrested?

Alleging a plot to wiretap Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office in the Hale Boggs Federal Building in downtown New Orleans, the FBI arrested four people Monday, including James O'Keefe, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group's credibility.

Also arrested were Joseph Basel, Stan Dai and Robert Flanagan, all 24. Flanagan is the son of William Flanagan, who is the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, the office confirmed. All four were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.

Only speculation here but he could have been targeted for some undercover sting and O'Keefe was chomping at the bit to go after a big fish.

James O'Keefe was one of the two undercover journalists to do the expose on ACORN and child prostitution.

Dan has more and Ace has the affidavit.

There's A Pattern Here

To Give The Left Wing Media A Chance To Catch Up

In case you have been watching ABC news, then it's safe to say this is pretty much new to you.

Two journalists, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles -- if they were a cartoon, they would be Fred and Daphne from Scooby-Doo -- go undercover at ACORN posing as a pimp and a prostitute. ACORN, in part, is a TAX PAYER funded organization supposedly set up to help poor and down trodden. The people at ACORN don't bat an eye when the Giles and O'Keefe suggest opening up a WHOREHOUSE for UNDERAGE CHILDREN who need to be smuggled into the country. Giles and O'Keefe went to at least five -- with rumors of more tapes to come -- different offices in FIVE different cities do to their undercover work.

Remember, your tax money went to people wanting to help set up a WHOREHOUSE for UNDERAGE HOOKERS. Shouldn't that piss you off (Ace has the video)?

No one likes to be called out as an idiot: Especially if they have friends in high places. One of the cities where the ACORN office was stung was in Baltimore. Think O'Keefe and Giles will be applauded for exposing corruption on a grand scale? Or put under investigation?

This too: Andrew Breitbart, founder of the new portal, Big Government, was on Fox News and for some reason, Media Matters thought it was inflammatory enough to flag it (but they think that about any conservative viewpoint). The video was posted without comment so my only guess was that it's because Breitbart hit the mark on calling out Jonathan Klein, the president of CNN.



Uh Oh. How much exactly are US Taxpayers on the tab for ACORN?
According to the database, taxpayers supported ACORN to the tune of more than $12.5 million from 2003 to 2007

It's hard out there for a pimp.

Involuntary Servitude?

File this under 'Every Acronym Needs To Spell A Name'.

It also shows what a dog and pony show Congress is. Follow along as Congress gives the appearance of propriety with tax dollars on the front end and then strip out any protective measures on the back end in conference.

The bill is called GIVE – standing for “Generations Invigorating Volunteers and Education Act”. It’s the kind of obviously contrived moniker most grown adults would be too embarrassed even to admit having remotely considered. But, not the Criminal Class. In their rarified world of sheer self-indulgence, it’s well-nigh considered a stroke of genius. Almost Shakespearean. And one can’t help but wish they just would have settled for “Gee I’m Vacuous and Empty-headed.”

Yet, as bad as the title is, the content is even worse. For, at a time when most Americans are doing all in their power to tighten their belts and survive the government-induced Depression, the members of the Criminal Class have allotted at least $5 billion to increase taxpayer hand outs to ACORN, PUSH – and a plethora of other decidedly leftwing flimflam groups – to spend in perverting the electoral system.


H/T, RSM.

Thugs

The whole lot of them.

"This is our house now," said Louis Beverly, ACORN.
. . .
"We are actually trespassing, and so this is a way of civil disobedience to try to stay in the house," said Beverly. "Legally it's wrong, but homesteading is the only means that she has left to stay in her house. And we feel as though this is the right thing to do at this particular time to save this family."
