James O’Keefe: We have a Big Story


O'Keefe is a new media journalist who caught video of a National Public Radio executive bashing the tea parties and GOP conservatives. NPR is subsidized by tax payers. The NPR executive thought he was meeting with representatives of a Muslim Brotherhood front group, looking for more favorable news coverage towards Palestinians, in a possible exchange for a sizeable donation.

My gut tells me if this story, O'Keefe says he has, was really big, somebody else would have it.

What do you think? Any ideas on what would constitute a "big story" these days? Remember, we are talking about an openly court defying, I have a pen and a phone, I don't have that much time left presidency.

Compared to me O'Keefe has nothing to worry about. Why? It's minus 8 out there as I type this. Going out the door is life threatening.

I believe it's about Al Unsharpton.

He has Erica Snipes (Eric Garner's daughter, Eric ---> Erica, get it? It's like Romans used to do, feminize names and add diminutives until the daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter become smaller and smaller, ex., Livia, Livita, , Livitita, Livititita, what have you) on tape saying Al Sharpton is all for the Benjamins.

"I DID NOT SAY THAT!"

She protested. "IT'S A TRAP!"

She didn't say it. She very carefully avoided saying it. She let her fingers do the talking, rubbed her fingers together indicating mafioso type payola, and that is definitely NOT saying, that is "vocalizing" what O'Keefe says she said and that the tape recorded.

Per a story in the NY Post.

Interesting little tidibit about about a NAN director insisting Sharpton's image and their logo be put on the front of pamphlets that the daughter was distributing. Sharpton paid for the father's funeral and NAN wanted them to feel in debt to them for that. Sharpton's NAN wanted to promote Sharpton on the dead man's daughter's own pamphlet.

Note to doughtier Erica, : When you switch to sign language, it's still communication, still valid language. Duh.

She honestly thinks that by switching to silent form that she didn't say what she said because it wasn't vocalized. She didn't say it.

I'd advise Mr. O'Keefe to get over himself.

I don't know, I would never preempt my big story drop by telling people I had a big story to drop.

O'Keefe is a good undercover reporter. He's also a flaming asshole.

If it's life threatening it's probably about Hillary.

Just as long as O-Keefe stays away from Fort Marcy Park...

So the big story was something everyone already knows; Al Sharpton is in the business of taking care of Al Sharpton.

Duh.

But Al Sharpton (Dickens could not have given him a better name) provides a useful service to progressives by egging on the brownshirted idiot enforcers ("riot over here, yell this, carry this sign, get arrested") and taking ridiculous stands so that everyone else can contrast well ("I wouldn't go that far but Al does have a point, and the ear of the black community ..."). And so it continues. Tax free!
