Do we have a James O'Keefe working for us?
Maybe we could take down the Heritage Foundation or Americans for Prosperity...

5. I absolutely concur. That doesn't mean, however,
that we can't have a little fun playing with the idea.

even if the left had these people, they would not get the free air time in the press and the free ear of congress.

14. He didn't edit the tape to distort Wanker's comments.
That's a big difference. Wanker got punked, but there was no "creative editing."

33. Faith Based Funding
Edited on Thu Mar-17-11 08:20 PM by chillspike
From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Office_of_Faith-Based_and_Neighborhood_Partnerships

Under George W. Bush

OFBCI was established by President George W. Bush through executive order<2> on January 29, 2001, representing one of the key domestic policies of Bush's campaign promise of "compassionate conservatism." The initiative sought to strengthen faith-based and community organizations and expand their capacity to provide federally-funded social services, with the idea having been that these groups were well-situated to meet the needs of local individuals. As Texas governor, Bush had used the "Charitable Choice" provisions of the 1996 welfare reform (which allowed "faith-based" entities to compete for government contracts to deliver social services) to support the work of faith-based groups in Texas.

For fiscal year 2005, more than $2.2 billion in competitive social service grants were awarded to faith-based organizations. Between fiscal years 2003 and 2005, the total dollar amount of all grants awarded to FBOs increased by 21 percent (GAO 2006:43<3>). The majority of these grants were distributed through state agencies to local organizations in the form of formula grants

25. I don't believe so. But even if we could, who would want one?
O'Keefe is a scumbag.

26. The equal to a James O'Keefe would be someone who fabricated realty
by making it look like the republicans and/or their support groups were telling the truth. I don't think it would have the same effect.

31. Mike Stark - Calling All Wingnuts
He called rw talk shows and recorded the call and put them on his blog. He's also done several videos. Last year he made one where he walked around DC asking GOP congress critters if they believed Obama was born in Hawaii. It was hilarious. He also stalked Bill O'Reilly a couple years ago.

32. The problem is,
organizations like Acorn are designed to help people who walked in off the street.

Conservative organizations are only designed to help the old boys' club.
