James O'Keefe's group attacking Barry University now

Ugh.

A conservative activist on Monday released an undercover video featuring an honor student at a South Florida University trying to convince officials into allowing a pro-ISIS campus club.

James O’Keefe, who runs Project Veritas, unveiled the video in which the student, senior Laura Loomer, told instructors at Barry University in Miami Shores she wanted to start “the humanitarian club” to help promote education in the Islamic state. O’Keefe alleges the video captured university worker Derek Bley unfazed when the student came to him to begin the process of forming an on-campus organization that would support ISIS.


Project Veritas told NBC 6 they didn't notify the university or the people being recorded that they were on camera. Florida law requires a person must be notified if they are going to be recorded. NBC Miami is not showing the video taken at the college.

This is the second time Project Veritas has gone after a college on ISIS. Last week O’Keefe released an undercover video showing a Cornell dean who advised another student on how to start and fund a pro-ISIS student club.


I'd call O'Keefe a creepy little fuckstick but that would be insulting to creepy little fucksticks.

and the video was heavily edited to make him look nefarious, when he was really a bit ill informed (he didn't recognize the official name of ISIS). James O'Keefe should be in jail frankly.

5. Isn't that usually the calling card of the reich wing media?

Heavily editing things.

And yes, O'Keefe should be in a SuperMax prison somewhere.

...and suggested planting evidence. And then the camera would roll while they debate what would work and what wouldn't work.

4. An insider quit because he was told by O'Keefe to urge cop killings

at protests while posing as one of the protestors.

Why NONE of the MSNBC shows booked that guy blowing the whistle on O'Keefe's operation is a mystery.

Their target didn't play their game at all.
