Sorry Doctor, but as you can see, bow ties are NOT cool. :(

Sometimes bow ties ARE cool:



/Hot like his Walther PPK (double action).

And here I thought I might never have a reason to post this again...

hubiestubert: Can't do the time, then don't do the crime...

Nah, the Right only TALKS about "personal responsibility", you don't actually expect them to PRACTICE what they preach, do you?

Satanic_Hamster: This is the same guy who was going to videotape him trying to rape a female reporter.

This is the only allegation of rape I can find-

You got something else I should see?

Mrtraveler01: So what do you think the plot was and do you agree with the charges the FBI charged them with?

What he says it was. Because it fits. He was going to try and do one of those "whacky" stunts where he proves the phones work and that Landrieu's office was just ignoring phone calls berating her for her support of Obama's health care proposals.

Three Crooked Squirrels: You seem to be saying that he announced his intentions to a group before they took action and he explained his actions after. I'm on a phone a don't feel like doing the work on this farking thing. How did he explain his actions/motives? Seriously want to know.

Mr. O'Keefe contends that they were intent on exposing Ms. Landrieu's supposed inability to respond to constituents' calls. Mr. O'Keefe kept insisting in the TV interview that voters were upset that Ms. Landrieu had received $300 million in exchange for her vote on the health care bill - what some conservatives are calling, inevitably, "the Louisiana purchase."

But, as various pundits, lawmakers and others have pointed out, the $300 million was in fact a proposed outlay for Medicaid in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and not to line her pockets.

Arrow'd!

Even though he has no legal access to a telephone closet of a US Senator right?

Hopefully you agree that the punishment fit the crime.

O'Keefe was probably going to do one of his pranks where he'd make calls to a pornography thing from the Senator's office and then "bust" the Senator for doing such things.

Mrbogey: This is the only allegation of rape I can find-

You're right, he was really just going to sexually harass the woman once he got her alone. Of course, we don't know what he would REALLY have done, because he seems to be kind of lacking in the morals department.

Sounds like a fine upstanding young man to me.

At least compared to SOME on the Right, that is...

Somacandra: When you're 27? Dude, at least get an apartment. They aren't that hard to come by.

They are when you don't have an ACTUAL job to use on the application.

The guy has no morals, no spine AND no job skills. If the Right weren't so stupid, they'd see him for the liability he truly is, but they've gone past the point of no return at this point...

All the right-wing trolls are just phoning it in lately.

Lord_Baull: All the right-wing trolls are just phoning it in lately.

Their paychecks are bouncing, or they're trying to find some way to justify supporting a Mormon for president when their whole song and dance for years has been 'BUT THE JESUS.'

Normally I dislike the childish game of rearranging names to get things like Barack Fartbama, but for James O'Queef, I make an exception.

RobertBruce: kmmontandon: EnviroDude: This is funny. The left celebrates that Okeefe is in trouble simply because he outed ACORN and their corruption.


No, he didn't.

Even this KOS post didn't deny it.

That KOS post also did not deny the allegation that my middle name is jewrape. I think the conclusion is obvious.

doesn't he get a speaking fee or something? plus, I thought he was a student somewhere.

Does that really count as a "job", though?

adamgreeney:
You notice that with a lot of right wing "heroes." They get vicious and otherworldly support while they are acting like valient soldiers, but once they really step in it or fade out of national, daily attention, the support fades. Look at Beck. A year ago he had a loyal brigade. Now, almost nothing. Conservative loyalty and attention is a fickle thing.

To be fair (I know; why do I bother) that's not really a bad thing. If I discover that someone I supported politically had his hands in the cookie jar or performed some other egregiously immoral or illegal act, I'm happy to kick any support I had of them to the curb. This always seems to stun conservatives (my latest target is John Edwards), who seem to believe that being a progressive means I have no moral standards or whatever. I have, actually, far more often seen conservatives gleefully follow their icons off a cliff.

I think what might have happened to James O'Keefe is that he's just no use to anyone anymore. The fact that he doctors the hell out of his videos means that the second he tries to pull something, the entire opposition will start combing the evidence and leave the thesis in ruins. He attracts that kind of scrutiny. So the next time he does another stunt, the right wing won't have time to doctor up a legislative response before they get shot down.

Not very long ago I read some conservative blowhard claiming that conservative journalists had no choice but to cook stories and make shiat up, because that's what the mainstream media did all the time and that was the only way to get the message out - they were just fighting fire with fire.

Cataholic: I just think it's hilarious that he's using the same type of tactics that leftists have championed for 40 years. All of a sudden, when someone does it to them, they're up in arms over it.

I'm honestly curious as to what your talking about. Can you please provide some examples from the last 40 years of liberals championing selective editing of video for partisan political purposes? Or doing it?

Weaver95: QU!RK1019: I don't know what caused me to put enviro dude on ignore, but I'm trying that "ignore responses to ignores" thing, and it's interesting what a threadshiat looks like now. That must have been one steaming turd.

oddly enough, o'Keefe doesn't seem to have that many valiant defenders here on fark.

If you take a step back, there are very few defenders of anything Republican on Fark. I mean, there are Farkers who will act as apologists, or who will claim the victim mantle, or who will dip into the vast logical fallacy well.

Controlling for trolls, it's rare to see a politics tab poster that defends a Republican concept on the merits.

LordJiro: jjorsett: Who's this guy think he is, a Democratic Wisconsin legislator?

Keep deflecting. It doesn't look pathetic at all.

And super relevant! Fleabagger. LOLILILOLOLOL!

Satanic_Hamster: Mrbogey: So you don't actually have proof he wanted to disable her phones or mess with them in some way?

The guy plead to entering a federal building under false pretenses. Sounds about right. But what motive would lead him to recording himself damaging equipment? C'mon and use Occam's razor. It was a stunt that was poorly planned that failed horribly for him. It wasn't terrorism or attempted vandalism.

This is the same guy who was going to videotape him trying to rape a female reporter.

Do you have any proof he had an erection?

I really should apologize to vaginas it was wrong tho compare them to o'Keefe my bad.

1 down, 49 to go.

...or 56, depending on who's counting ;)

You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now.

Well played, sir. Well played.

fark that. I was in tears.

TEARS.

(And having to explain the punchline to my wife... priceless...)

Impasse: \Gomez! I invented the wheel!

Just a few dozen more, boss!

EnviroDude: This is funny. The left celebrates that Okeefe is in trouble simply because he outed ACORN and their corruption. What would they have done if he really hit a DNC friendly organization where it hurt?

Should you be too busy looking for Obama's Kenyan birth certificate to be posting fooling nonsense on the internet?

Perfect troll is perfect.

You were raped by Tatsuma?

Margin-Tats it is

(obscure?)

Weaver95: jso2897: Stop for a moment, and contemplate what it must be like to have heroes who are 27 and live with their parents.

...and who are completely incompetent idiots....

That actually sounds like an awesome superhero, Mr. Incompetent. Faster than a urban freight train, stronger than a bullet. It's a dodo bird, it's a gyrocopter...

bigbadideasinaction: 1 down, 49 to go.

59, dammit. Get the damn joke straight.

"Yesterday, a representative of the state of New Hampshire attempted to serve me with a criminal grand jury subpoena. My lawyer, Mike Madigan, has requested a copy of it . . . thus far the attorney general of New Hampshire has declined to provide us a copy of that."

Sounds like they tried to give to give him a perfectly good copy (an original, even), and he ran away and hid.

Duke Phillips' Singing Bears: O'Keefe is/has a vagina.

As a vagina-owner I'm offended. Please don't compare them to O'Keefe. Vaginas are wonderful things that everyone (except maybe gay men) should love and respect.

/vagina

The visit was promptly canceled, and O'Keefe gave his talk via Skype, from the safety of his parents' house.

So he's like every other conservative blogger.

Out of respect for chickens (all colors and nationalities) I would prefer to call 0'Keefe a slimy slug. Sorry slugs....

dooooooooooooosh baaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

Shaggy_C

I don't see why everyone is calling him a pussy. If you're under threat of arrest, you don't put yourself at risk. You contact your lawyer and stay put. That's not cowardly, it's smart.

I suppose all of you were calling Julian Assange a pussy for staying in England rather than returning to Sweden?

Assange wasn't stupid enough to videotape himself committing a crime.

C'mon Liberals....this is pretty desperate to slime O'Keefe on something this weak

I would not show up for an event if some political hack Atty Gen was trying to subpeona me. Neither would the Fark Liberals
