Now James O'Keefe just smeared the Economic Policy Institute
I just found this Media Matters article that opened: "Convicted criminal James O'Keefe has released a new video -- this time attacking Huffington Post reporter Sam Stein and the Economic Policy Institute, a non-partisan progressive think tank. Journalists covering the story should be aware of O'Keefe's history of lies and deception." Then goes on to summarize O'Keefe's career of smears. Can anyone elaborate? Given that O'Keefe recently traveled to Occupy Wall Street (a probation violation likely) it might've been connected to OWS.

2. the tiny felon lives with his parents in NJ
He should get a real job and make an honest living. Ratfucking is okay for someone in their 20s, but eventually everyone has to grow up.

But less than half the voters live the real world.

6. Because destroying ACORN made him a hero in some circles
There will always be some 1% troglodyte ready to pour him some money so he can keep trying; even if he never succeeds again it's a small expense to reward the one who brought down such a large and troublesome adversary.
