Conservative activist James OKeefe, who specializes in making secret video recordings and then dishonestly editing them to attack groups and people he doesnt like, claims that he is feared and hated and attacked in a very nasty way by liberals who dont play nice and want to destroy him using the government.
In an interview on Eagle Forum Live with Phyllis Schlaflys niece Anne Cori this weekend, OKeefe lamented that his fellow conservatives are afraid to be effective because to be effective is to be hated.
Asked if he had any advice for struggling activists, the ever-humble OKeefe responded: To speak frankly: Get some balls.

That's how it should be interpreted. Liberals aren't afraid to take you down, O'Keefe, and your conservative buddies are running the other way.

He is such a smarmy little prick.

(338 posts)He had to pay $800,000 to one of the employees he taped in California, that was justice. they all should have sued. He settled the case. How does this coward have $800,000+ from making tea party porn is beyond me.
Thank you for the post.

(338 posts)I hope we learned some lessons from what happened to ACORN. Sometimes you have to stand your ground and not take it like ACORN did, but in the end when democrats and republicans are coming after you, not much you can do I guess.
I anticipate something like that will happen to the Tea Party soon.
