James O’Keefe, head of Project Veritas, vows further undercover operations: ‘Being hated is a sign of respect’

By Joel Achenbach November 30 at 12:41 AM

DALLAS — James O’Keefe, the self-described “guerrilla journalist” who runs Project Veritas, spoke to students at Southern Methodist University here on Wednesday night, highlighting his organization’s undercover efforts to expose what it says is liberal bias in the media and defending the deceptive tactics that are its trademark.

O’Keefe spoke just days after it was revealed that one of his organization’s undercover operatives was attempting to plant a fake story with The Washington Post, and he made mention of the sting operation just briefly, portraying himself as a David battling the Goliath of the mainstream media and vowing to push ahead with his efforts. In that case, a woman named Jaime Phillips claimed to have had a sexual relationship with U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore when she was a teenager and tried to lure reporters into covering the false story; The Post instead revealed the ploy.

“The Washington Post seems to want a Nobel Prize for vetting a source correctly,” he said.
....

O’Keefe was invited by a campus organization, SMU Young Americans For Freedom, and about 100 people attended the speech in a student center theater as video and TV cameras lined the rear of the hall. There were no protests or disruptions.

1. James O'Keefe is a con man

[Turbineguy]

2. I don't hate you, Jimmy.

I just think you would look better on a table in the morgue.

[Aristus]

3. "A lot of people came disguised as empty seats".

[Initech]

4. So I think this question must be asked:

If a professional troll speaks to a room and there's no one to hear it, did he really troll anyone?

[dchill]

12. Himself.

[LudwigPastorius]

5. "Being hated is a sign of respect"

The vast majority of the time, it's just a sign that you're an asshole.

[ChubbyStar]

6. They call it Pretzel Logic for a reason! n/t

[FakeNoose]

15. A lot of people hate Hitler too

... it's not a sign of respect, O'Keefe. NOT!

[Scarsdale]

7. Sad case, this O'Keefe.

Trying to gain his daddy's love and respect, I wonder? Too bad he did not make good use of the opportunities he was handed from a prvileged childhood, and chose to spread sewage for a living. Homely looking, too.

[marble falls]

8. "Being hated is a sign of respect" ....

Maybe. But its much more likely its a sign that one is a walking talking douchebag.

[Maeve]

9. Don't hate you...laugh at, pity, maybe...you aren't important enough to hate eom

[Sneederbunk]

10. Being incompetent is a sgn of O'Keefe.

[mpcamb]

11. Being hated is a sign people dislike you a whole lot. Not much else...

But it also could be a sign you've done dishonest and despicable things, giving them cause.

[jmowreader]

13. So much for the credibility of SMU

James O’Keefe stands as a shining example of a life gone very wrong. Why would a supposedly Christian university have him as a speaker, and give him a honorarium for doing so?

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. Project Veritas needs to lose their non-profit status n/t

[LongTomH]

16. Some artist need to create 'UnWanted' posters with photos of O'Keefe in all his creepy disguises!

Print them in large format on heavy paper that will last. They should be distributed to every progressive organization and news source with instructions to put one up in a prominent location in the office where O'Kreep might show up.

[DeltaLitProf]

17. Needless to say . . .

. . . there is nothing to prevent us from starting a much more competent Lefty version of Project Veritas. I'd love to be involved in something like that. I have research and reporting chops. And I'd love to get the hell out of Mississippi.
