Won’t You Help James O’Keefe Pay off His ‘Major Credit Card Debt'

[sasha031]

Conservative prankster James O'Keefe, the artless cad behind heavily edited video "stings" on NPR, ACORN, and other enemies of the state, has been paying for all of his work on his and his buddies' credit cards. Apparently it costs a lot of money to carry a camera and act like a jackass — $50,000, as it happens! So won't you be a peach and give him $50,000, or perhaps even $1 million? This is James O'Keefe's plea in an email to supporters.

O'Keefe explains that he and his friends have "hit a wall" after "running up major credit card debt" to finance their projects. He writes that it "cost us about $50,000 when all is said and done to produce the NPR video," which is incredible, and "If you help us raise over $50,000, it will go toward our next video — after we pay off our credits cards, of course." What other information could you possibly want from this notorious liar?

And then he asks for a million dollars: "If you help us pass $100,000 — we can do two new videos... And if by some chance, we raise $1,000,000 — we could expose 20 disturbing cases of government abuse and corruption. But, all I'm worried about is $50,000 right now."

Like shoveling shit at the sewage plant.

7. sounds like socialism to me...

how dare he ask for public funding

[blondeatlast]

9. I suggest each and every member of a left-leaning site contribute a check for $.03 cents.

In separate envelopes and demanding a receipt for tax purposes.

Then, when the checks don't get deposited, demand an investigation.

Excellent idea!:evilgrin:

22. Screw him- I hope he finds himself destitute

Perhaps then he would learn a few valuable life lessons and become a decent member of the human race.

[OwnedByFerrets]

23. He needs to throw in a "Praise Jezus" in there and the

money will start pouring in.

25. Hey O'Keefe, you little asshole - why don't you call Scott Walker and

ask him for David Koch's number?

30. A handheld or camera-in-a-bag job costs $50K

Okay there were outfits ( I guess), cell phone bills, they probably stayed in hotels instead of signing a short term lease....$50K???? How long did it take them to make the video? to set it up? they only way you could spend $50K in a few months time is.....oh cocaine. They were doing gobs and gobs of cocaine just like their no unmentioned idol George W. Bush.

[Shiver]

32. It's all the deceptive editing.

Cutting things to make people look bad costs more than cutting for actual quality. See how lying costs you more?

[walldude]

36. I mentioned this yesterday.. I do video for a living..

Live concert video... For 50 grand I could buy a broadcast quality Sony Camera, the computers and software for editing, and still have 20 grand left over for beer and weed.

Scam.

[underpants]

40. Thanks for the local knowledge

that is about what I figured costs would be

31. Gotta love that conservative fiscal responsibility!

33. His parents must be soooo proud.

34. He's being sued by ACORN workers and they will probably

win as the California investigation concluded he lied about them. Of course the media never tells the true story of ACORN and this little POS. But, I'm sure his attorneys have advised him he's in deep financial trouble.

Everyone he has ever lied about should sue him and I am wondering why the MD DA has not prosecuted him yet for breaking the law there.

CA made a deal with him not to prosecute for breaking their law of recording people without permission, in return for him handing over the raw ACORN video he was refusing to release. The little coward was afraid of being prosecuted.

It was a good move on the part of Jerry Brown. O'Keefe had a choice between prosecuted and maybe ending up in jail, or being sued which most likely would have happened anyhow.

So he took his chances on being sued and now Juan Carlos, the ACORN worker whose life and excellent, decades long career and reputation he destroyed, is suing him, and has that raw video to prove the lies that were told. Not that they weren't obvious, but the media seemed to miss them.

We will read about him in the future, he's like a bomb ready to go off. Even his former friend Giles, the prostitute, now claims she has 'distanced herself' from him. Hey, she's being sued also, so now that reality is setting in, I guess she's had a change of heart.

[jmowreader]

35. There is a way, of course...

Little Jimmy needs to set himself up a PayPal account and tell us what it is.

I am certain the liberal community, who so loves his wonderful, hard-hitting investigative videos, would be MORE than happy to give him a million dollars...in one-cent donations. (This is how the freepers bankrupted Julie Hiatt Steele.)

But that would be wrong.

[walldude]

37. LMAO.. he's even lying about spending his own money...

caught this link at TPM, shows who really paid for the Acorn video:


http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2009/09/acorn_videomake.php

and in case anyone missed it.. I interviewed O'Keefe:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjLvB9dr2PQ

Took me 2 hours at a cost of... ZERO. And in it he admits that all he needs is a Camcorder and Final Cut. Must be a hell of a camcorder for $48,000...

[louslobbs]

38. LOL, Republicons have absolutely no shame, none, and this little twerp, worm, slug

whatever he is, fits the suit. Give me some money to pay my bills and I'll give you a rigged, selectively edited video to stroke your fears and ideology lol. Wow, where's brightfart and the other Thugs to fund his crap. Maybe I'll call him pretending to be the other Koch brother and I'll tell him I'll be happy to fund his activities if he makes a certain video, a certain way and I'll continue to fund him as long as he plays with his balls........I mean plays ball. He'd probably fall for it since all of them are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

39. Get a job like the rest of us, asshole.

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. Can I ask why it cost him $50K??

I'd (seriously) like to see his expense report. There are literally thousands of videographers posting on youtube every day doing much more important work than this clown and not a one of them is spending $50K per video.

[CanonRay]

42. Doesn't he have the Koch brothers on speed dial?
