James O’Keefe’s Trip to Occupy Wall Street: The Film

[meegbear]

Here's your favorite conservative movie director from New Jersey, Mr. James O'Keefe, who put on his best investment banker costume and went down to Occupy Wall Street the other day to film some protesters saying dumb or weird things. Among the folks O'Keefe and his crew ran into: a generous cake-eater, a guy who revealed that the protesters are being bankrolled by secretive union overlords, and another guy who invited him to "make a lot of money" by investing in a very real thing called the Constitutional World Federation. The constitution guy in particular is fully representative of every Occupy Wall Street protester, so O'Keefe's movie should be taken as an accurate depiction of the entire movement.

Given his reported history of "major" credit card debt, isn't O'Keefe part of the 99 percent himself?

1. "ran into"? So anyone trust anything O’Keefe says?

[Syrinx]

2. "The people telling us to respect Steve Jobs are the same people who will be saying they are..."

"... glad Bill Gates is dead."

What? How? Why?

3. Let's take this at face value for a minute:

Suppose these interviews were genuine (not likely...)

How many interviews were given in which O'Keefe was handed his ass by protesters who could articulate the movement?

In typical O'Keefe style, this smells like bullsh*t...

4. His films are not made for normal people, they are made for Republicans

And they eat this type of bullshit up like candy...Republicans love being lied to...as long as those lies make them hate other Americans that is..

5. The "constitutional world federation" guy seems like he's playing some sort of character too.

He's too stereotypically "hippy dippy".

I am sure this is not the last OWS will see of O'Queefe or the other rightwing agent provocateurs. They should have some sort of training about how to identify and deal with these trolls.
