Hillary Clinton is Seriously Dangerous

[seemslikeadream]

do you realize you are the one advocating right wing crap?

James O'Keefe is right wing crap

^^The Daily Beast again.

You are transparent. Forty-three pages from you on "The Alternative Right". Five pages from you here on the world-threatening danger of [cue drumroll]... "Racialist Asatru". (I had to look that word up.)

And that's just for starters. You have turned RI into maybe the world biggest depository of right-wing crap.

I'm going to anticipate the non-replies, and then I'm out of here.

- We'll be told -- again and at enormous length again -- that O'Rourke is a jerk.

- We'll be told that Republicans are worse than Democrats.

- We'll be told that Republicans also indulge in dirty tricks.

- We'll be told that Trump is vile.

- I'll be accused of wanting to see a rapist in the White House.

- Nobody will address the actual contents of the video (not least because most of those condemning it have not yet even bothered to watch it).

- We'll be... ah, forget it.

What's on TV?

The subject of the thread is right-wing crap. The Clintons themselves are their own "vast right-wing conspiracy". That people easily identifiable as further right-wing than the Clintons get all apoplectic about them doesn't make them any less what they are.

James O’Keefe Pays $100K Settlement after Deceiving Public about ACORN (and ALEC Helped Take Down ACORN)
http://www.prwatch.org/news/2013/03/12019/james-o’keefe-pays-100k-settlement-after-deceiving-public-about-acorn-alec’s-help

SOURCE WATCH


James O'Keefe


James E. O'Keefe III is a right wing activist and video provocateur who engages in deception when talking to his targets - who are largely not public figures - and deceptive and context-stripping editing, to present his targets unfavorably.

Actions
Botched Sting Attempt on Open Society Foundations
On March 16, 2016 James O'Keefe contacted the offices of Open Society Foundations -- a nonprofit that promotes democratic rights internationally -- under the name "Victor Kesh" and left a voicemail in which he expressed interest in collaborating for the promotion of "European values."[1] O'Keefe botched the sting attempt when he failed to hang up the phone, discussed the sting with someone else while still recording the voicemail, and revealed his identity to Open Society Foundations by accessing his target's Linkedin page while logged on to his own profile. O'Keefe admitted defeat several months after the sting attempt, stating in an interview with Breitbart that he was "forced to abandon an ambitious undercover investigation into billionaire left-wing financier George Soros."[2] He stated in the same interview that the objective of the sting had been to find out "what the Soros foundation is doing in Eastern Europe." According to The New Yorker magazine, recently-appointed Veritas board member Matthew Tyrmand "is a thirty-five-year-old Polish-American investor who is an informal adviser to Poland’s right-wing nationalist government."[1]

ACORN
"Mr. O’Keefe...first gained notice for secretly videotaping his exchanges with workers for the community organizing group Acorn who appeared to advise him how to avoid prosecution for a variety of unsavory activities like child prostitution."[3]

but

"O’Keefe’s incriminating ACORN video was shown to have been heavily edited—neither he nor Hannah Giles were actually in pimp and prostitute get-up when they spoke to ACORN employees, for example—and no criminal prosecutions of ACORN followed. While not letting ACORN off the hook for showing “terrible judgment” in the video, California’s then-attorney general Jerry Brown noted after an investigation into the tapes and the organization that “sometimes a fuller truth is found on the cutting room floor.”"[4]

NPR's Bob Garfield noted to O'Keefe,

"You lie to get into - the offices. You lie, subsequently, about the lie you told to get into the offices. You edit the pimp shot into the trailer to create the illusion that you were somehow wearing it during your sting. You go on television wearing the same pimp outfit and let interviewers observe, uncorrected, that that’s what you were wearing when you confronted the ACORN employees."

Attempt to bug Mary Landrieu's office
O'Keefe "faces federal criminal charges in an alleged plot to bug the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). Federal investigators charged that James O'Keefe was among four men who created a ruse to enter the lawmaker's downtown office, saying they needed to repair her telephones. O'Keefe used his cellphone to take pictures of two men involved in the Jan. 25 plot, according to court records unsealed Tuesday. Those men, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, are accused in an FBI agent's sworn affidavit of impersonating telephone company workers, while O'Keefe and another man, Stan Dai, are accused of aiding the plot.[5]

Alleged seduction attempt
O'Keefe "allegedly tried to "punk" CNN reporter Abbie Boudreau by luring her on to a boat and seducing her...in front of hidden cameras."[6]

Teachers
"a video, produced by O'Keefe's Project Veritas, titled "Teacher's Unions Gone Wild."...features attendees of a New Jersey Education Association conference at a hotel in August. Unaware they were being recorded, those at the conference were captured on tape in a number of compromising or indelicate moments..."[7]

One outcome: a 9-day suspension for a teacher who'd earlier thrown herself in front of a van to protect her students, suffering broken ribs, a fractured wrist, a badly bruised pelvis and glass cuts in her eyes.[7]

NPR
After O'Keefe released video of an encounter between purported Muslim would-be donors and NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller, NPR head Vivian Schiller (no relation) was forced by her board to resign. As it transpired, the video had been deceptively edited.

"Glenn Beck’s conservative website, The Blaze, was first to report on discrepancies between the first edited eleven-and-a-half minute video released on the Project Veritas website and a later, unedited two-hour version.

Ron Schiller, one of the fundraisers who lunched with two people from Veritas’s fictional Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC), is hardly saved by The Blaze’s reporting. He still said what he said and he still comes across as a right fool in some ways. But crucial context was left [out]...

In the report... The Blaze addresses "whether the donors-in-disguise had made their fake Muslim Brotherhood connections clear to Schiller and Liley, contextualizes Schiller’s ‘attacks’ on Republicans (he actually ‘expresses pride in his Republican heritage’), and shows that Schiller was echoing the opinion of two top Republicans he had spoken to when describing the Tea Party as ‘racist people.’"

"[4]
NPR's Bob Garfield objected to the selective editing, telling O'Keefe:

"there were no fewer than six times in the raw NPR footage where Ron Schiller or his colleague took pains to tell you that, no, you cannot for five million dollars or any other sum buy coverage on NPR, you cannot influence the news organization. And yet, that is conspicuously absent. Where you edited in his amused reaction to Sharia law, he had evinced no such amused reaction to Sharia law. In fact, it had been cut from one place and dropped in another. What is that, if not obfuscation?"[8]

Mother Jones compiled a list of O'Keefe's and Andrew Breitbart's actions & outcomes as of March 2011 that can be accessed here.[9]



Relationship to the Tea Party Movement
In November, 2009, O'Keefe served as a keynote speaker before a crowd of about 4,000 Tea Party members at a rally in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The announcer credited O'Keefe with helping end the "tyranny of the left in America." O'Keefe greeted the crowd by saying, "Pimps and ho's"[10]

O'Keefe's justification, and criticisms thereof
Investigative reporting? No.
From CJR:

"“Journalists have been doing this for a long time,” [O’Keefe] argued. “It’s a form of investigative reporting that you use to seek and find the truth.”

[CJR's response/reinterpretation:] In this case: Seek. Find. And then mold."[4]

Why O'Keefe has no legal leg to stand on
An attorney for one of O'Keefe's targets "is calling bull on O'Keefe's claims that the First Amendment protected his actions"[11]....dismantling each of O'Keefe's arguments in a legal filing.[12]

Criticism from conservatives
Gerson: like a political dirty trick
Former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson objected to O'Keefe's tactics saying

"Do we really want private citizens deceiving, taping and exposing the foolish weaknesses of their neighbors...?

These tactics are not a new brand of gonzo journalism. They are a sophisticated version of the political dirty trick. Would it be citizen journalism to fool a senator’s psychiatrist into revealing demeaning information about his or her patient? Or to befriend a prominent conservative pastor, goad him into making homophobic statements, then edit, exaggerate and put them on the Internet?"

[13]
Regarding O'Keefe's Landrieu attempt
After O'Keefe was charged in the "Landrieu's office" telephone scandal, conservatives distanced themselves from him. The Salt Lake City Republican Party canceled his appearance as a keynote speaker at their February 4, 2010 fundraiser. Conservative pundit Michelle Malkin wrote that exposing wrongdoing is not an excuse to break the law, and that O'Keefe's alleged actions should be taken seriously. Conservative radio talk show host Rick Moran told his listeners that it looked as though O'Keefe had ignored the requirement that journalists be objective.[14]

I for one am eagerly awaiting some thorough RI research on the latest report from Sorcha Faal that exposes how Russia found out that Hillary Clinton is a murder suspect in the death of UFO researchers. Some of us might want to dig deeper into that in spite of the fact that in the past some of Faal's methods have been somewhat questionable. After all, are we not rigorous here?

Seriously, beyond ideology, O'Keefe is a proven fraud. I would never watch any of his fraudulent shit, especially when snopes is around to do it. To quote them:

"Project Veritas' October 2016 election-related sting videos (embedded above) reveal tidbits of selectively and (likely deceptively edited) footage
absent of any context in which to evaluate them. Unless his organization releases the footage in full, undertaking a fair assessment of their veracity is all but impossible."

But hey, maybe O'Keefe showed some integrity this time! And maybe Lucy will actually let Charlie Brown kick that goddamn football too!

My sweet sixteen I would never regret

Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

Robert, fwiw, you're one of the posters here whose posts I nearly always read (when I see them), nearly always agree with (in all essentials), and whom I actually like and respect. Fwiw.

But what you just posted there is beneath you.It's just nonsense. I really think America is going insane.

A friend of mine, a very intelligent and well-informed American woman of around my age, was telling me recently (in a state of rare glumness) that she thought people's actual ability to think had been seriously damaged over the last couple of decades - mainly by TV, but also by the Web (especially since it became mobile and ubiquitous) and by the Spectacle as a whole. Actual cognitive damage. Actual inability to pay attention to anything except what the Spectacle instructs them to pay attention to. (And no, she did not except herself from this. And no, she is certainly not the only one to have noticed this and to be seriously worried about it. Whole books have been written about this phenomenon.)

Here's the only line in your post that is worth responding to:

I would never watch any of his fraudulent shit,

So you too have not watched it. That is worth knowing.

You go on:

I would never watch any of his fraudulent shit, especially when snopes is around to do it. To quote them:

"Project Veritas' October 2016 election-related sting videos (embedded above) reveal tidbits of selectively and (likely deceptively edited) footage absent of any context in which to evaluate them. Unless his organization releases the footage in full, undertaking a fair assessment of their veracity is all but impossible."

Emphasis added. They are blowing smoke out of their ass.

Snopes is a handy resource, but it has to be handled with care, and it is anything but a depository of guaranteed truth. If you doubt this, check them out on the topic of 9/11, just for instance.

There is no point in arguing about this with you or with anyone unless & until you actually watch the video. Do or don't, as you wish. But I will tell you (and Snopes) this: One undeniable truth about that video is that there is a counter running in the top left-hand-corner of the frame throughout. Those "tidbits" (sic) are no mere 5-second snippets but often a minute or more of unbroken conversation. The fact that so many people are so desperate to ignore what Foval and his cronies said and did -- and to have everyone else ignore it too -- is not just depressing but deeply symptomatic. "Bury it! Bury it!"

Since you haven't watched it, here (fwiw) is what I got from the first twenty minutes of O'Keefe's video

Progress report:

In the first video, Foval brags about how he hires (i.e., bribes) homeless and mentally ill people to turn up and disrupt Trump rallies. The goal is to provoke fights and get them on camera, and then feed those videos to the media. He managed to get a seriously-ill 69-year-old woman punched by somebody at a Trump rally. Mission Accomplished.

In the first few minutes of the second video, Foval's describing how to bus voters in from other states, yet avoid being charged with conspiracy.

It's October 20th, 2016, and this is Rigorous Intuition or its walking corpse. Three weeks before the end of this sinister farce of an "election", nobody even here can bear to admit anything so banal and obviously, demonstrably true as that Dem Party operatives are sometimes scumbags, and that the whole "election" process is hopelessly corrupt. They'll go apeshit if you even try to bring it to their attention. QED. They'll accuse you of wanting a rapist in the White House.

ON EDIT: One last question, Robert: Why do you think Foval was sacked, and why do you think the other guy resigned?

The subject of the thread is right-wing crap. The Clintons themselves are their own "vast right-wing conspiracy". That people easily identifiable as further right-wing than the Clintons get all apoplectic about them doesn't make them any less what they are.

I don't know quite where you're going with that. But the subject I started (was started by Nordic who actually didn't want this thread, sorry bro) ain't no "right wing crap." Anyhow, the fucking OP, just to get this out of the way, was not started to spew right wing crap. No claim to fame, but I am as left wing as you can get. I started it because Clinton is basically a fraud and some one who has signed off on mass murder and I know people who know the Clintons personally. Yes. No Alex Jones et al spoken here.

So there!

But I understand.

Dem party operatives can be scumbags. James O'Keefe is a scumbag. The Clintons are scumbags. Trump and Pence are the worst of the scumbags. The mainstream media are scumbags. Sanders, Stein and Gary Johnson are scumbags. Every government in North America, Europe and the whole wide world is riddled with scumbags. Assad and Putin are scumbags. NATO, ISIS and the Syrian rebels are scumbags. It's scumbags all the way to the bottom.

So we're down to lesser-evilism or revolution. Vote locally, because that's about the only place where changes can be made. (Lots of scumbags there too.)

We're really just arguing over the personalities of the more egregious flies buzzing around the giant corpse of representative government. Thank you for reading this worthless contribution.

What you don't seem to understand, Mc, is that many of us on the other side of this argument are wondering whether or not the very same circumstances could be used to explain the lack of comprehension being exhibited by you (and others like you) re: the value of any evidence presented by a repeatedly proven criminal fraud, and in particular the "evidence" that he claims to be showing you in that video.

Not worthless, no. I laughed, which is worth something (at least to me), especially at this stage in this thread.

The United Kingdom: a scumbagocracy.

Anyway, I'm off out to watch the second half of Celtic-Gladbach in the pub, rather than on this bloody awful stream.
Celtic might possibly win, y'know. (I refuse to believe that the world is entirely bad.*)

*At least for the next 45 minutes.

Are Democratic operatives capable of behaving like creeps?
Sure, I suppose it's possible.

Is there some kind of universal political spectrum dichotomy law that dictates that "both sides are always equally bad"?
No.

Over the last half-century, has the organized Left in America come anywhere close to being as negative an influence on politics, policy or the culture as the Right in America has?
WHAT Left in America?!

Heheh... little joke, there. But the point remains. Stop falling prey to the false equivalency bullshit pushed by the mainstream media. Thinking for one's self sometimes means knowing when to finally filter someone (like O'Keefe) out of your information diet for good.

His crap is worse than junk food. It's literal poison.

I'm not worried. Drumpf is a foil for $hillary. It's one giant shit show. It's not an "election"; $hillary will be safely installed come January 2017.

This isn't "left vs right". It's the very tip-top shitting down upon the rest of us.

We know that in our heart of hearts. We know we are being played for suckers. Again.
