O'Keefe is at it AGAIN...

This latest "expose" by him will go like the last ones he did.
Nowhere.

Discredited conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe released heavily edited videos Wednesday claiming to prove that members of President Obama's campaign team are helping voters engage in voter fraud. In fact, neither of the highly edited videos O'Keefe released shows a single vote being cast, completely undermining his campaign to demonstrate widespread voter fraud.

In the heavily doctored videos, so-called undercover reporters are shown approaching individuals identified as staffers for Organizing for America, Obama's grassroots campaign organization, and other Obama supporters handing out voter registration forms in Texas and New York. The reporters claim they want registration forms because they intend to vote in two states.

No votes were cast, and no voter fraud occurred in either video, yet both doctored films are falsely blasted out under headlines promising a voter fraud expose.

Not even Faux "news" puts him on anymore.

He's going to end up losing his ass in the upcoming lawsuits, and hopefully Mommy and Daddy won't bail him out.

4. Sounds like he's after another "hit" to get back in good graces...

...and he doesn't seem patient enough to just play loyal low-profile footsoldier for a few years and reinvent himself.
