Topic: Conservative creators anti-ACORN "Gotcha" video arrested

Apparently they were going to illegally enter a Senator's office and tap her phone. Very Nixon, guys. Ah, the entitlement of the right. Who wants to bet this won't get the play on FOX that their ACORN video did.

"A hero of conservatives who bruised the liberal group ACORN by posing as a pimp on hidden camera is now accused in an attempt to tamper with phone lines at Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu's office inside a federal building."

Question is now, from how high up in the RNC did his funding come from?...What did Michael Steele know and when did he know it?
He is looking at 25 years in the federal big house but O'Keefe will likely remain the darling of the Gee Ohh Pee.  Hell... G Gordon Liddy became the darling of the" law and order" repiglicon party BECAUSE he was a convicted felon breaking the law in the interest of the party.

And Oliver North...you know the hero who sold arms to terrorists...

Like the true core of the party, they are well-connected rich elites (one the son of a US Attorney) cynically posing as champions for the common man. Their treatment and sentencing will no doubt be more "elite" than "common."

In a preview of their righteous martyr defense, O'Keefe says, "The truth will set me free." And you can hear the folks at FOX wetting themselves with joy humming the "Star Spangled Banner." Meanwhile they've got to get them free so they can do (yet another) poisonous FOX propaganda show. So the defense?

--"It was poor judgment," Flanagan's lawyer, Garrison Jordan, said in a brief interview outside the courtroom. "I don't think there was any intent or motive to commit a crime."--

Well, aw gee, shucks, they wasn't gonna do nuthin.' Honest injun,

Being such an inept criminal that you get caught does indeed show poor judgment.

True, but then again most crimes are committed by those who aren't particularly...ur..."ept" ? But seriously, What was he thinking? If they got any damaging tape, what were they going to do? Broadcast it? Like there wouldn't be a Federal investigation. I think the success of that first video totally went to their heads. I mean, did they really think no one would ask for ID?
