The Racist Hypocrisy of the Right. WaterGate II aka PimpGate.
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 11:06 PM by TheBigotBasher
What is it with http://thebigotbasher.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/grand-old-party-conservative-republican-christian-values">Republicans and their supporters, they just can not help themselves with their criminal antics. The arrest of O'Keefe at all shows once again the racist hypocrisy of the right. Think not?

Imagine if this was an African American Acorn employee doing this to a Republican the Senate would be up in arms.

Limbaugh and his followers would be calling for an investigation leading to the Whitehouse (probably DU as well(again) and their bogey man Soros).

Fox just says it needs “context”. It needs more than context. Who actually was involved? How high did this go?
Maybe we can expect to see O’Keefe with an American flag draped around his crotch when he is 60.

So where are the FOX calls to have a criminal investigation into Breitbart or the others associated with O'Keefe? How far up the Republican food chain does this go? To the Congressional Republican Leadership?

Maybe we should defund their offices.

Will we see pics of O'Keefe looking like this when he is 60?



Will O'Keefe get a job on Faux News for this?

1. If a Dem, say Alec Baldwin or Matt Damon, wore a flag suit like that, can you imagine the outrage?
Oh, the righteous indignation. :eyes:

10. Can you really think of a better way to cherish something than by putting your junk on it?

The pic in the OP is, actually, quite an authentic representation.

:scared:



Edited for spelling errors, 'cause I'm not a teabagger who can't spell! :patriot:

3. O'Keefe will also see the smallest Prison sentence you can
get for a crime like this.

My bets, a fine or max of 5 years.

14. You hit the nail on the head.

No serious investigation in to who was behind this.

There will be no Congressional investigation.

This will be treated lightly.

8. There is a serious point to this.
The ACORN non scandal continued in the media for weeks. Congress acted on it almsot as fast as the bloody PATRIOT Act.

Can you imagine the reaction if this was an Acorn worker or a Union member?

This will be allowed to die. Yet O'Keefe and his mates are every bit as bad as the criminal in the photo. Will there be a Congressional investigation in to this?

Only if Democratic members of Congress grow what this man has lost.
