Nicole Sandler Confronts James O'Keefe At Netroots Nation
One of the slimiest things about the Right Online convention is that they make a point of planning their event in the same city as Netroots Nation. It's not enough to bring together conservative bloggers and politicians together, creating some nexus of unspeakable evil, but they have to do it withing taunting distance of progressive bloggers. That's why Andrew Breitbart can troll around the convention entrance and my friend and radio host Nicole Sandler can find none other than James O'Keefe hanging out in the hotel lobby.
O'Keefe, accompanied by some fawning male friends, agreed to sit down with Nicole Sandler to "have a conversation." I'm not sure any conversing happened, and by the smug smile on O'Keefe's face, that was probably by design. Admittedly, trying to make herself heard over the din of the lobby traffic, Nicole did sound increasingly agitated, which is of course, exactly what O'Keefe sought. Notice how carefully he parses his answers (or rather, non-answers) on his conviction for entering Sen. Mary Landrieu's office, dressed as a telephone repairman. As part of his plea deal, the government stated that O'Keefe and his colleagues were going to pretend to "test the phone system" rather than tampering with her phones, as had been originally reported. That's not to say that's the full truth of what happened, merely what O'Keefe and the feds mutually agreed to charge him and he plea guilty to.
But O'Keefe will stick to his lessened and lightened version of the story, because it suits. Just like the "posing as a pimp" story suits, even though it ignores the manipulation that edited tape had.
Because in the end, it's not about the truth for O'Keefe. It's about a partisan agenda, and he will do anything and violate any ethical (and criminal) code to achieve it.
Off by a decade.
It's a typo, made at 2 in the morning.

"Lady, you knew I was a snake when you [sat down to talk] with me".
Why does the judge that gave O'Queff permission to leave NJ think that it is important for him to attend a progressive gathering? Given his history of hatred and lies against progressives the judge should have just said, "You can stay home. You don't NEED to attend this event."
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
Good point. Perhaps he didn't give the judge the full story...

It was probably heavily edited.
me-oww!
I'm hoping that he didn't have permission to be in MN and will soon be wearing an orange jumpsuit in a NJ prison.

Ahem.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does make one wonder just what sort of moves he was going to put on that reporter on notsoBreitbart's love yacht?
Are there any more disgusting people than O'keefe and company?
Is this punk even old enough to vote???
A small mind is easier to lose...
Hanging around netroots just shows how useless these pukes are. How useless the republican party is when it comes to public service. They are either in think tank meetings with their corporate masters or they are bashing the real public servants.

Ms. Sandler's whiny shrill interview accomplished one thing.
She made O'Keefe seem reasonable.
Don't feed the trolls.
The evasion and cover up was still obvious though. Psychopaths always seem reasonable - They have no anxiety. No remorse.

Get this guy in front of a camera and he's pretty defensive. Love the old "why are you so angry" line. Not much of a defense. Reminds me of when Bush invaded Iraq and the right wing extremist favorite line was "why do you hate America"? Who where older punks with him? Lawyers to defend his lies? I hope this puke didn't get an exemption to leave NJ and this goes to his parole officer.
Did you or did you not wear a pimp outfit? Simple question, answer it.

Two reasons. They get to keep tabs on you (because even THEY know they're not going to see coverage of any substance by the media), AND they get to bug the shit out of you. It's a twofer. They know how to play your war.
Don't any of you ever wonder why you're not winning?
Humpty Dumpty was pushed.
Lot more professional with than he deserved. What a sack of dog crap.
I did take a picture of him, as I know he's on probation and I assumed he was breaking the law. He told me he got clearance to attend, and I said "OK" and began walking away. He asked me to sit down to talk. I declined. He asked AGAIN... Who am I to refuse such a nice request?
The camera goes off and he tried to woo you with his knowledge of Alicia Keys' catalog and fuzzy handcuffs? Inquiring minds and all that....
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Hey, dude, he's not a geek or a nerd. Why are you fecking insulting nerds/geeks like me? : / He's more like a plonker.
Edit: just to make it clear i was not insulted at all. I just wanted to make it clear he's not a geek. C'mon mods, behave a litle :p

Some questions concerning parolee Mr. O'Keefe: Where did he tell the judge he would be spending his time and staying? Did he inform the judge that there were two conventions being held in the same city by two opposing groups Netroots Nation and Right Online? Did he receive permission to visit both? Can you prove to a judge he visited Netroots, if you had too? Just how fawning were his male friends? Think about it!
Rethugs are polished at the art of evasion. I seriously hope there is a Hell for those repugnant pigs to burn in.
Rethugs LOVE to patronizingly ask, "why are you so angry?" The appropriate answer should be, "I get that way when the flying monkey Republicans who helped turned America into the LEAST upwardly mobile with the widest income disparity of all industrialized nations are sitting in front of me smugly promising to continue the destruction."
Sweet Jesus... I LOATHE Republicans like I LOATHE any scourge ever inflicted on a humanity.

My thougts exactly; but don't forget to mention the fact that the GOPers are also "corporate fascist goons" who sold out the entire country.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
I'm sorry....but some folks do it right, and some folks can make this jerk-off look like the smart one. She did the latter.
Once again, we haven't learned the lesson of "ignore them, and they will go away". he got him some attention...and Nicole really did a piss poor job of interviewing him. I'd rather someone just peed on his head.
Let them get the upper hand. Never fall for the switch- where they ask politely," can I ask you a question?"
Never get defensive with a snake. Never answer a question unrelated to the topic. Never raise your voice- then, when they ask "why are you raising your voice?" explain why.
Never let them control your interview....ever!
First they ignore us..then they ridicule us..now they are feeding us chicken crap- sign my petition:

f'ing awesome! It's became so clear how totally insane he is. He is everything I thought he was. What a sad little man. I almost feel sorry for him. Thanks for laying some real journalism on his ass.
why hasn't anyone given this little puke what he truly deserves?
O'Keefe wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit him on his lily white ass.
O'Keefe couldn't be HONEST if his life depended on it.
