VIDEOS: Right wing darling "ACORN pimp" James O’Keefe has quite a history

By GottaLaff

Earlier, I posted about how this little wingnut snake claimed he was "absolutely independent", but was funded by a wealthy conservative investor.

Let's see what else we can dig up on him. Why, here's something now!

He ran an affirmative action bake sale. Let’s repeat – an affirmative action bake sale, where they sold baked goods for different prices based on your race. This was all to prove a point, of course, that affirmative action is bad.

Here’s that bake sale:


In April 2008, our little "pimp" took on Planned Parenthood:

When James O'Keefe, the undercover "donor," asked if a donation could be used for aborting a black child, a PP staffer from Tulsa responded, "We can definitely designate it for an African-American." [...]

Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger, once stated, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." [...]

Last Spring, [Lila Rose, editor of The Advocate, the pro-life UCLA publication responsible for the investigations] posed as a 15-year-old seeking an abortion for the child conceived with her 23-year-old "boyfriend," played by O'Keefe. Rose recorded a Santa Monica, CA PP employee encouraging her to lie about her age so that the organization would not have to report her situation as statutory rape.

What a busy bee O'Keefe has been:

[W]e heard James' voice soon thereafter on the now infamous phone calls to Planned Parenthood wanting to make donations specifically to abort black babies.

What a stand-up guy. And the right finds Michael Moore offensive?

Not everyone among Mr. O’Keefe’s acquaintances agrees. Liz Farkas, a Rutgers student who called Mr. O’Keefe "a nice guy and a loyal friend," said she grew disillusioned after he asked her to help edit the script of a Planned Parenthood sting.

"It was snippets to make the Planned Parenthood nurse look bad," Ms. Farkas said. "I said: ‘It has no context. You’re just cherry-picking the nurse’s answers.’ He said, ‘Okay’ — and then he just ran it."

Rush Limbaugh: Obama won primaries because "nobody had the guts to ...say no to a black guy."

This is who is piped into the ears of our military in Iraq:

Yesterday on his radio show, right-wing talker Rush Limbaugh said it’s “striking how unqualified Obama is and how this whole thing came about within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.” Limbaugh continued:

I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them. It’s the reverse of it. They’ve, they’ve ended up nominating and placing at the top of their ticket somebody who’s not qualified, who has not earned it. […]

It’s perfect affirmative action. And because of all this guilt and the historic nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, well, wait a minute, do we really want to do this?
