You'd think the wingers would figure out that James O'Keefe makes them look like fools every time he posts another one of his "videos." You'd think they might consider not pimping those videos like they're real when they're so easy to debunk. You'd think.
This time, it's North Carolina under fire, but O'Keefe ridiculously claims voter fraud when the only fraud is O'Keefe and his bogus claims. This time around, O'Keefe features a "dead voter" and a voter who he claims is illegally registered to vote because he was not a citizen at the time he was called for jury duty. Unfortunately for O'Keefe, he became a citizen in the 80s, a fact that was easily verifiable before publishing the video.
As for O'Keefe's dead guy, it turns out James forgot that "Jr." at the end of a guy's name means he's the son of the dead guy and also happens to be a very much alive registered voter.

(6,145 posts)Where would I be if I entered the office of a US Senator under false pretenses and tried to wiretap the phone? Jail at best and gitmo if it happened to be Republican Senator I'm sure.
Where would I be if I tried to vote under false pretenses and videotaped the criminal act itself? Jail at worst. Fined up the ass at best.
Where would I be if I tried to kidnap a journalist on my parent's half assed dinghy and loaded it up with sex toys, condoms and furry handcuffs? Jail maybe. Maybe in an institution.
Where would I be if I tried to get sexual favors from my female volunteers and possibly drugging or detaining them if they refused my advances? Jail at worst and suffering disgrace at best.
This guy is pond scum and yet he continues to be supported and admired by mainstream figures on the right. It's not acceptable.
