[NationalReview] James O'Keefe reveals corruption at the heart of the president's signature program.
[FoxNews]The Urban League of Greater Dallas fired one person and suspended three others after a video from a conservative activist reportedly showed the workers encouraging health care applicants to lie. An edited video was released Monday that seemingly shows so-called health care Navigators encouraging people to lie on forms signing up for health care to get better rates. The video was released by Project Veritas, which was started by conservative activist James O'Keefe. O'Keefe gained notoriety for videos in 2009 that eventually brought down ACORN and was also tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in 2010 for attempting to bug the phones in the office of Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu for a different project. The Urban League said in a statement on Tuesday it "does not condone, nor would we ever sanction, misleading the public or any individual who seeks our assistance about any issue, and particularly in this case, an issue as critical as health care." The Urban League said the person fired was a "part-time receptionist trainee" who was not authorized to speak on behalf of The Urban League or act as a Navigator and said it supports decertifying three "Navigators-in-training" in the video. The Urban League also called for the unedited video of the incidents to be released. It said the undercover applicants were told the people they were speaking to were Navigators-in-training and "the full context of these comments is not reflected in the video." | |

| #3 WHy the mention of the "bugging" which was ultimately dropped? Good ol NR, seems to have completely abandoned any pretense at conservatism that isn't of the east coast elites - the Beltway-Broadway cocktail party crowd who likes to get approval from the press leftists |

| #1 One fired, three suspended after undercover health care video And what about those whom they actually helped defraud the government? Would this not be defined as criminal conspiracy? Criminal charges....? No, just as I thought. |
