He breaks the law? He pays the price.

That's how it's supposed to work. Good on our Justice system.

Still, one can hope for the best. We have enough real issues to be faced that this society doesn't need losers like this in there sabotaging things out of petty vindictiveness.

Why do they " need to be gone"?



Oh right......they register and enfranchise poor folks, too......



Can`t have that.......now can we? Rightie don`t win electons, when that happens......



One would think that it`s yellow journalism and rightwing race-baiting, that had to go......


But no.....the NAACP and ACORN are now the villans......in alt-reality land.

I hope this marks the end of one of the worse chapters in politics.

Unless he really only defrauded this guy. In which case, that's done. If he defrauded others, then let the trials begin. As long as Justice is served, then, Justice is served.

Rightist media is now "reporting" on "news"(fake news,made-up-shit) that braightbart and the Daily Caller,WND.etc. post, as a way of forcing the poison into the media stream.

Then fux-news takes it from there into the echo chamber to be repeated/defended here and elsewhere by the cult members.

The more people that know about this use of propaganda and the discredited/right-biases/bigoted websites behind it......the better.


The more of these rats that get cornered and stepped on before squirming away(losing lawsuits).....the better.

Wish someone would bankroll it into an actual court date so mr. o'keefe can be asked about who funded his "fun". Would be interesting to get roger ailes name out there so he and murdoch can be sued.

He earned a little money from it and was praised as a brave journalist and hero on fux-news...


Another bigoted fake-outrage fraud that faux-news/bratfart/okeefe tried was the "new black panther" scary black man voter intimidation meme,with a delicate crust of " AG Holder giving black terrorist brothers" a pass....cus you know......he`s black too.



Fox news hammered this race-baiting meme for weeks......fucking disgusting......


He split with most of his cohorts and they sued each other and there`s not much money if any left.


It`s more about truth winning over bigots and their cheating rightwing buddies,though I hope the victim does get paid.


It would b heart warming to know that okeefe wouldn`t be able to get a car loan or a mortgage before paying off this lean.

Status: offline 		Really???? Cause I do not hear you bitching about the GOP still using ACORN to raise doubt about President Obama, like when they just added to a bill that ACORN would not be supported with tax payer money...even though it stopped existing years ago but it was in a bill last week

His lies hurt many people who benefited from their work, but instead of pointing out the positives ACORN provided, the GOP still uses its failure as an example. Which is why small minded GOP elected officials still as of this week add them as a group not to support even though they no longer exist.

So why do you and other GOP supporters not stand up against the false info being passed out and wasted on adding them to current bills.....by the party you support??? or at least call Fox news and tell them

Some people are just incapable of letting go of their arrogance and hatred, I guess. Or perhaps it's that some people have nothing but arrogance and hatred in them. Just sayin'.

Fun fact: Faux-news won`t/can`t broadcast in Canada.....b/c it`s illegal for a news outlet to lie.
