Bob Creamer and White House are telling us "don't believe your lying eyes?"

O'Keefe's outing of ACORN and the Baby Parts sellers opened some eyes and sent a few people to jail. I hope his work with Creamer and crew will do the same.

#2 O'Keefe, one of the few real investigative journalists--the rest (leftistas) are out shilling for the lefty causes, Hillary, and the Donks.

#3 So Creamer admitted he was inciting, and quit, but Earnest still thinks the vids don't reflect the truth? He must be referring to the GoodTruth™

#4 The vids were convincing but one thing bothers me. Why would these two boneheads agree to be interviewed and then spill their guts. Just brass balls and hubris or just a case of Donks being emboldened by the de rigueur lawlessness these days?

#5 Why would these two boneheads agree to be interviewed and then spill their guts.

Mr. O'Keefe never goes in as a reporter, JohnQC, but in a role where the discussions are part of a longer interaction. His first essay in the field was when he went to ACORN offices around the country in the role of a pimp with underage, illegal immigrant prostitutes looking for public money to finance the purchase of houses in which to conduct his business. He went to each of these appointments with an interestingly dressed young lady at his side. Staffers were almost uniformly non-judgemental, helpfully suggesting approaches and even wording to get the desired funding. As I recall, at one or two offices they did turn Mr. O'Keefe away, but there were enough videos, coming out every few days for what seemed ages, to create a scandal that bestirred Congress to act.

I believe in this case the reporters got themselves hired by these groups, or were volunteers, and they were asking questions and making suggestions as eager acolytes.

#6 Eric Schmidt is making a list and he's sending it to the dems. The warning is not about the contents of the videos, it's about being on the viewership list.

Yes, these appear to have been recruiting pitches.

#10 A lie. That is exactly how Obama views Community organizing. Get in their faces and all that.

#11 Careful. You might find out just how bad the Democrats are.

#12 I know how bad they are. They don't get how bad we are when pushed past our limit.

#13 Actually Trumps bits about crooked elections from the debate dove tail well with this. Conservatives should post links to the video anytime someone laughs about crooked elections. If the MSM won't show it a lot of folks probably haven't seen the videos.

#14 I stopped on Facebook thread dead in the water this morning by posting the video. Still waiting for an answer but I don't expect one.
