We’ve all been reading about James O’Keefe’s arrest by the FBI. There is an obvious difference between the right wing and left wing’s perspective on this. So I read some posts from the perspective of the right wingers.
First of all, imagine if it was a Democrat activist breaking into Eric Cantor’s office. We would be drawn and quartered. And worse.
Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, et al would have a field day. But, it was a Conservative activist. And now, he’s a Conservative criminal activist.
I would say he’s an “alleged” criminal activist, but the right got pissed of when Obama used the word “alleged” during the ‘underwear’ bomber’s attempted terrorist attack. After all, we should be fair and balanced.
I have no doubt that the right would demand our activist be charged with treason. They use this word a lot. I’ve read enough bullshit online just after President Obama was sworn in that he should be charged with treason.

But it was a Conservative activist. Not a Democrat. Remember when you read this outrageous defense, that this man, O’Keefe, attempted to tap into the phone lines of Senator Landrieu’s office. O’Keefe’s version is murky at best. Whatever he claims his defense to be, he was there under false pretense without good intention. And intent is a biggie in the courts.
In this sample of blatant defiance, they mention ACORN. Senator Landrieu’s office is not affiliated with ACORN, so that is crap. They also refer to him as a “twenty something kid.” He is no “kid”. He portrayed a pimp and a repairman. Kids are in school.
Here’s just one sample of the bullshit:
The Media’s Unsurprising Rush to Judgement Against James O’Keefe
2010 January 29by Tim and Alissa Birkel
While the whole truth about the latest story surrounding James O’Keefe is not entirely clear, one thing is certain: he made a mistake. No, we’re not talking about whatever mistakes he may have made at Senator Landrieu’s (D-LA) office. We’re talking about the mistake of exposing the establishment media not only for being intellectually bankrupt, not only for being ideologically partisan, not only for taking down ACORN, an organization on the same side of the intellectual divide as a large percentage of the media, but also for exposing the media’s down-and-out laziness. A twenty something kid showed the big bastions of supposed “investigative journalism” how its done. And for that, they have never forgiven him.
