“Banker” James O’Keefe Gets In On the Fun – Totally Punks Occupy Wall Street (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 10:55 AM
It’s all about the Benjamins, baby!
“Banker” James O’Keefe made an appearance at Camp Crazy yesterday in New York City. The anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street protesters had the nerve to ask James for investiment capital. They wanted funding for the “Constitutional World Federation” they are planning.
Another protester goes into detail about how Almagamated Bank is funding the Occupy Wall Street anti-banker protests. They’re all for capitalism, but only if it benefits them.
James O’Keefe scores another win against the hypocritical left.

James O’Keefe is a proven liar and a convicted felon who has been caught several times doctoring video that he has produced. He has no credibility and how can anyone be sure or even reasonable be expected to believe that he is not talking to actors or his fellow propagandists?

Andrew X commented:
Well, they are all “actors and propogandists” he’s talking to….no argument there. But that’s only because being an “actor” and being a “poseur” are so closely related.
Days of whine and poseurs.
More Liberty commented:
Dave’s a liar. James O’Keefe is no convicted felon. He pled guilty to one count of entering a building under false pretenses – that’s a misdemeanor.
Scott M commented:
anyone be sure or even reasonable be expected to believe that he is not talking to actors or his fellow propagandists?
Because he’s gotten tangible results from previous outings? ACORN, NPR, etc. Aren’t the Alinsky types more of a ends-justifying-the-means anyway?
dave commented:
He dishonestly edits his video. He constructs lies. It is proven. Each and every time. He has zero credibilty and if this was a guy from Daily Kos doing it to conservatives you would agree with my point. And a misdemeanor is a still a criminal count. He is on probation for an attempt to do an illegal wiretap. NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE.
RedBeard commented:
O’Keefe sure gets a visceral reaction from the left, as indicated in post #2. Mops and buckets needed to clean up the spittle.
It’s somewhat reminiscent of the out-of-control leftist lunacy accusing Karl Rove of using his Magic Hurricane Machine to destroy New Orleans.
Sparky commented:
Doesn’t matter what O’Keefe’s background is.
What matters most is the insider info gleaned from these Progressive parasites.
Remember, they want Barrack to give them YOUR MONEY!

So because you lied and said that he had a felony, which he does not, you are also NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE.
Andrew X commented:
BTW, davey, the difference between a pleaded misdemeanor and a “convicted felon” is pretty vast. Does that mean you are “dishonestly editing”, or perhaps “constructing a lie”? Does this not give you “zero credibility”. Or if you are not lying (meaning you believed what you wrote), does it merely mean that we should wonder “how can anyone be sure or even reasonable be expected to believe” that you know what you are talking about?
Just sayin’.

No felony. Misdemeanor. For overenthusiastic digging out public corruption.
As for the editing, we’ve seen those accusations before, from such wonderful people as Media Matters.
Cat commented:
It appears that “dave” has an issue with O’keefe givin it back (once again) to the ignorant left….
Always a pleasure watching the leftie hypocrites on the bottom of the food chain self-implode!
RedBeard commented:
In #2, ol’ Dave either lied about the charge against O’Keefe, or he was ignorant of the facts, but posted the accusation anyway.
In #9, Dave is back to double down on his lies or ignorance, by regurgitating the phony canard that O’Keefe was charged with tapping the phones. Where the probation thing came from, no one knows.
Perhaps Dave should heed the wisdom of John Adams in the future: “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
Matthew Hollister commented:
O’Keefe’s videos speak for themselves. It doesn’t take much when you’re dealing with morons The Acorn expose was brilliant; the organization was so immoral and corrupt that they incriminated themselves within one or two questions.

tj commented:
When the police or FBI “go undercover” – the don’t tell truthfully tell the perps who they are!
When ever you need to penetrate an organization of criminals, you must either be a criminal or present yourself as such…
Never in any of O’Keefe’s videos has he used actors to falsely present an opposing opinion – he has always used those being infiltrated directly.
I get the impression that O’Keefe’s editing is to simply boil down the exchange to the essentials…
Unlike some of the major news organizations that ask one question then play the answer to another question.
Dave – time to apply Occam’s Razor – while it is possible those could be actors in a stage in Russia with clever voice over work… It is more likely the real protesters in NYC saying what they believe..
Sometimes it’s painful when the truth crashes into someone’s propaganda poisoned mind.

The Sixteenth Amendment (Amendment XVI) to the United States Constitution allows the Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states or basing it on Census results. This amendment exempted income taxes from the constitutional requirements regarding direct taxes, after income taxes on rents, dividends, and interest were ruled to be direct taxes in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co. (1895). It was ratified on February 3, 1913. (They wish to repeal this)

Patty commented:
#2 really?
Dave
Like he did at ACORN?
As in prior videos released by the filmmaking team of James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, employees of the group — which specializes in housing and voter activism — were eager to dispense advice on gaming the system and skirting the law.
“You know, what goes on in the house we don’t care,” one counselor said. “We just help you with the mortgage.”
O’Keefe and Giles were garishly dressed as a stereotypical pimp and prostitute. O’Keefe was decked out in excessively snazzy flesh-peddler couture, and Giles, going by the name “Eden,” wore almost nothing.
The ACORN workers were not the slightest bit judgmental or put off by the request for help in getting financing for a brothel.

While the cons, Unions, who absolutely don’t help employees on the job, meetings with Trumka, SEIU member, who Obama, OBAMA HAS TAKEN MORE MONEY FROM WALL STREET THAN IN OTHER PRESIDENT IN 20 YEARS.
SHAME, shame on those who think that O’Keefe will ever play by the no journalism rules.

Haven’t you heard that Cain wants to become Romney’s VP? “I’ll consider being anyone’s VP, as long as it’s not Perry”……….who else is left in the current race?
Why would you want to “money bomb” anyone who’s on the same wavelength as Romeny?
avafromtexas commented:
As far as the “parties” pushing for a candidate, RINO’s and Fox are pushing both Romney and Cain………since Ailes said he wanted Fox to become “moderate” about six months ago.
BTW, who is this “Dave” guy?

Romney and Christie are RINO’s. Perry is sleazy and has no depth.

No, Cain is NOT the only choice. He’s a slick RINO that has fooled folks that haven’t been following his career. I used to support him until I did research.

Herman Cain praised TARP bailouts, chided “free market”.
Herman Cain supports big-government liberal Republican Mitt Romney.
Herman Cain Tries to Be “Outsider” But Is Really A Political Establishment Insider.
Herman Cain supported the bailouts.
Herman Cain doesn’t think the Federal Reserve should be audited (he’s a former Fed chair himself).
Herman Cain has flip-flopped on the issue of the Federal Reserve:
Herman Cain doesn’t think the Federal Reserve should be audited but yet the Fed bailed out foreign banks, including Libya (Col. Gaddafi).
(For those that are interested, a google search on these topics will suffice for the proof).
CONCLUSION?
Herman Cain is a Federal Reserve apologist, an establishment opportunist, and big-government RINO politician who puts bankers first and Americans last.

#66 Unfortunate for you. You don’t have a complete picture, then, of what’s going on. And, no idea of who/ what the “establishment” is pushing, or trying to suppress.
It’s helps to look at the whole picture, not just the parts one agrees with. As I said before……..I used to support Cain until I researched his past. I had big pictures and words of glowing support for him months ago (before it was kewl to support him), but then I research more and didn’t like what I saw.
Clue: If the establishment (including Fox who has decided to become more “moderate” in their reporting because their boss, Ailes, said so about six months ago) is pushing someone (Romney AND Cain, it’s a pretty good hint that’s NOT who I want to vote for.)

I’d try to find this “Constitutional World Federation” site if it exists, but I’ve made the mistake of going onto some leftist site before in order to send them a hot email and they didn’t have any way to email them, but while I was on the site for a few seconds looking for a “contact” icon or whatever, I noticed a little message at the bottom that said I was being locked onto and my computer was being probed for all my information about who I was, my URL, everything! It scared me and I couldn’t punch the back button fast enough to get off that site. I’ve looked for some email or something indicating that they were trying to contact me, since I wasn’t being allowed to contact them which is typical for leftists websites. But I didn’t like they’re being able to get into my computer and download information about me without my permission, and just because I landed on their’s was like I was giving them my permission? I don’t think so.
So, I’m not going to try to find this “Constitutional World Federation”. It sounds to me like the New World Order if you ask me.
And this is the kind of looking person who represents the “CWF”, but they declare they aren’t talking about Capitalism? What’s that about? Maybe something Maurice Strong (look him up, please) cooked up to suck people into Socialist/Communist involvement with world control?

-the Fed Reserve (the private central bank that prints money out of thin air)

Now, bg, who is not looking at the facts?
Businessman and conservative radio host Herman Cain argued his outsider status was one of his strongest assets during the first Republican presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle Thursday night in South Carolina.
But while Cain has never occupied elected office, he is no stranger to Washington’s world of money in politics.
A former chairman of Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and senior adviser to the 1996 presidential campaign of Republicans Bob Dole and Jack Kemp, Cain has regularly opened his wallet for political allies, and he even operates his own political action committee, called the Hermanator PAC.
Since the 1990 election cycle, Cain, along with his wife, Gloria, has donated $134,100 to federal candidates, parties and committees, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics, including $25,600 during the 2010 election cycle.
All of Cain’s donations during the 2010 midterm election cycle benefited Republicans and conservative groups. And during the past two decades, 70 percent of Cain’s money has aided Republican candidates and committees, according to the Center’s research.
Only 2 percent of Cain’s donations have benefited Democrats. These donations — which totaled $3,000 — all came during the 1990s and mainly benefited Nebraska Democrats such as Ben Nelson, Bob Kerrey and Peter Hoagland. During this period, Cain lived in Omaha and was the chief executive officer of Godfather’s Pizza.
The rest of Cain’s donations — about 27 percent — flowed to the coffers of the political action committee of the National Restaurant Association, which Cain also headed during part of the 1990s.
According to the Center’s research, Cain has donated to 52 candidates and eight political committees over the past two decades.
The top beneficiaries of Cain’s financial largess over the years include:
the National Restaurant Association’s PAC ($36,500),
the National Republican Congressional Committee ($5,000),
former Rep. Jack Kemp of New York ($5,000),
Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia, who was elected to office last year ($4,400)
and former President George W. Bush ($4,000)
Obviously, Cain IS NOT a DC outsider. Nor is he a fan of the Tea Party despite what TP’s would like to believe, which may or may not be a concern for you.
“While originally touted by much of the media as a “Tea Party favorite,” in interviews, Cain has distanced himself from the movement. In fact, he specifically rejected the Tea Party label for an article in the Wall Street Journal. Instead, he styles himself a “citizen’s candidate.”

IOW, he’s a RINO.

Then, I threw my support behind Perry.
He’s more the real deal than Cain or Romney, who are both RINO’s.

Sorry, bg, you can’t argue with the facts regardless of how hard you try.
While originally touted by much of the media as a “Tea Party favorite,” in interviews, Cain has distanced himself from the movement. In fact, he specifically rejected the Tea Party label for an article in the Wall Street Journal. Instead, he styles himself a “citizen’s candidate.”

#106 bg,
You and your liberal sites need to discern the facts before posting/printing them. Spin it any way you’d like, but here are the facts:
It is true that Governor Perry did accept part of the $787 billion Recovery Act money and used those funds to cover the state’s budget shortfall. Perry has never said that he would never accept federal funds, he has just been careful to decline when the funds came with unacceptable federal intrusion in state affairs attached.

Your posts only prove that whoever wrote the articles, in the snow job by the MSM to fool those that haven’t done their research, have branded him as a TP …….like you have under that umbrella. I’m sure he’d accept their accolades. Who wouldn’t?
His record has proven that he’s not a conservative, while he has “rejected” and tried to distance him for the TP.
Again,

Your “Stimulus Money” link is a hit piece on Perry from a CNN writer. Everyone is familiar with their leftist agenda.
Your “fed up” link takes one back to so many of your old posts and more links that no one will see an article without spending an hour sifting through them all, giving you time to bring in all of your cheerleaders for support.
Your “presidency” link goes back to an old youtube video of obama from November 8th 2004 right after he won his election to a 6 year term in the U.S. Senate admitting he shouldn’t run for prez in ’08. What you think that has to do with Rick Perry God only knows.

re bg is vindictive as hell, and will, lie, cheat, and post links to lefty sites to make her point and then get all of her friends to beat you upwhen you call her on it. Some of them even complain to Jim Hoft.
That is a flatout lie itself. I have never known bg to lie. Nor link to leftist sites other than for example and illustration of their thought or lack thereof. You should apologize to bg for behaving like a leftist yourself, i.e. by namecalling and smearing. If you cannot disagree with facts and links then you are not a conservative.

bg, Your “perry on” link doesn’t make any sense.
Print the whole story, bg.
TARP:
“Perry: As a matter of fact, I signed a letter with the Governor of West Virginia, who’s a Democrat, when September/October a year ago, when they were talking about, Oh my goodness, the economy is tanking. We’ve got to do something. We signed a letter that basically said you know don’t get all frozen up in fear, act.
I didn’t know we needed to write it out for them and say stop spending all of the money and cut the taxes. That’s the blueprint that worked (STOP SPENDING….inserted by me). And still we got people that voted for this bailout that was in hindsight now just an absolute giveaway, didn’t help the economy at all.”

You’re either too ignorant to see that someone sees through you or too damned hardheaded to admit it when you’re caught at using lefty links and quotes to push your own agenda, whatever that is.
If you truly want obama out and think that cain is the one to do it, by all means push your man but don’t bash my choice with all of the lefty lies and crap you can find on the internet while trying to boost yours and not expect me to respond to it in kind when I catch you doing it.

Oh, but I do, and I don’t find bg’s links a ‘jumble’ but a coherent pattern with pieces of puzzles added as found, hence the links back to earlier posts as new information is found and new inferences drawn. It is just the filing system bg uses and we understand it.

_____________________________
Personally, I am not sure about any candidate but a honest one. I am tired of any politician that says one thing and does the other. I believe that Perry may not be able to get out from under. Serious debating skills, I would love to have seen a tape of him debating for Governor.
Obama was a nobody who had a way with words and seem to say what the liberals and others wanted to hear. For me he was blahblah, and said what Americans thought they wanted to hear with a spin on Bashing the last administration. Who he was debating, Okay, McCain was a POW but honestly he debated like a Marshmallow.
Odds were stacked against the GOP, Palin tried but you can see where that got her. We need a strong minded, got ya, go getter, factual person and truly the man left standing in Cain.
I was not surprised by Christie endorsement has he has never seemed to me to be a true conservative, he says what he feels but he may not be all he is cracked up to be.
We must defeat Obama and I believe that Herman Cain is the man, provided he picks up some skills in Foreign Policy and that shouldn’t be hard because Obama is master in this.
The next elections will be all about economy unless Iran does something. We have seen what Obama has to offer, now, if Americans have the courage to see what a successful business man has offered then, I feel that person is Cain. I am tired of politicians, WE REALLY NEED CHANGE.
But back to O’Keefe!! LOL

yeah, GP opened a debate post..
bit of Cain trivia..
[Role in the defeat of the Clinton health care plan
Cain publicly opposed the 1993/1994 health care plan of President Bill Clinton. As president-elect of the National Restaurant Association, he challenged Bill Clinton on the costs of the employer mandate contained within the bill and criticized its effect on small businesses. Bob Cohn of Newsweek described Cain as one of the primary opponents of the plan:
The Clintons would later blame "Harry and Louise," the fictional couple in the ads aired by the insurance industry, for undermining health reform. But the real saboteurs are named Herman and John. Herman Cain is the president of Godfather's Pizza and president-elect of the National Restaurant Association. An articulate entrepreneur, Cain transformed the debate when he challenged Clinton at a town meeting in Kansas City, Mo.. Cain asked the president what he was supposed to say to the workers he would have to lay off because of the cost of the "employer mandate." Clinton responded that there would be plenty of subsidies for small businessmen, but Cain persisted. "Quite honestly, your calculation is inaccurate," he told the president. "In the competitive marketplace it simply doesn't work that way."
Joshua Green of The Atlantic has called Cain's exchange with
Clinton his "auspicious debut on the national political stage."
Conservative politician and former Housing Secretary, Jack Kemp was so impressed with Cain's performance that he chartered a plane to Nebraska to meet Cain after the debate. Cain credits Kemp with his becoming interested in politics.]
