Proof regarding O'Keefe's latest, misleading editing job? See here:Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 06:04 PM USA/ET - Edit history (5)
Note - times are referring to the Youtube timer, not O'Keefe's.
In the video above, Moran clearly advised the fool in question, that it would be "tough" to vote for someone else, because of the required documentation. He humored him a bit, but indicated that he should commit his energy to a legit GOTV effort. Moran went on to suggest that there are places where GOTV would be fruitful. ... When Moran started to say "I don't want to see it" - meaning someone commit fraud, he was immediately cut off with a barrage of questions. Then, the interviewer started asking for names, which could be interpreted by Moran, to mean names to assist with a GOTV effort.
Most damning for O'Keefe - at roughly 17:20 minutes into the youtube video, O'Keefe CLEARLY inserts Moran's voice, his lips aren't moving. Yet, O'Keefe inserts the words "yeah a bank statement" in response to a question. The comment was (seemingly) lifted from another portion of the video, where Moran is advising on legitimate documentation. J.O. also changes the dialog, (which is again apparent) as the movement of Moran's lips do NOT match the words. It's the same thing O'Keefe did to Juan Vera. The face and lips were blurred and words apparently inserted. Not to mention, one can not see the interviewers face/words. The entire interview portion could be edited in. WTF more do people need, to demonstrate that O'Keefe is a slimy fraud? Moran leads the conversation back to legit GOTV efforts, over and over again. At 20 minutes in, Moran discourages the fool saying polls will be ready to enforce voter protection and are "cracking down on" fraud. He ends by suggesting again that the interviewer make phone calls. The worst thing Moran did was perhaps humor the fraudster. While I wish he wouldn't have done so, it's a huge stretch to assert that Moran was involved in a conspiracy to commit voter fraud. IMO, the only fraud involved in the questionable video, is O'Keefe.

Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 04:46 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) I won't watch the vid so I can't comment on what he did or didn't say, but really, it isn't fraud until someone votes twice.

I refuse to let J.O. mislead and then attempt to address an issue when it's too late. I plan to actually watch O'Keefe's videos so I can immediately defend his victims, when appropriate.

That makes literally zero sense.
It was a long conversation both in the edited and unedited versions and would be easily shown as a fake and would also be a massive win for Moran (both of them.) Occam's razor... Which one makes more sense? a) A political campaign manager has some crappy ethics and isn't that bright or b) A video producer, who knows that everything he puts out will be examined frame by frame, would release an easily detectable and career ending film |

20. Well considering that it's a James O'Keefe video
|
and he's been proven to be a fraud on at least 2 occasions and has been convicted of illegally trying to tamper with a Senators phone, I'd say he has exactly ZERO credibility. Not to mention the fact that the guy is a fucking freeloading asshole who begs for money of the internet so he can make these pathetic videos. A leech, a moocher, a taker, pick your favorite GOP name for those who don't do shit.
Maybe he should just go and get a real job. |

Why wouldn't he have stated that he never said that? Look, what Moran did and said was pretty clearly not illegal, but it was stupid.

We agree that some of what Moran said was stupid. People are victimized for being polite, all too often. But I will not join in blaming the victim. |
