Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

Great idea, but will this work over the long run?

Except that you, the Village Voice, have no proof that any of what you say here is truth.

I love the tell-all photograph, though. Nice artistic touch.

Uh-oh. Be afraid, be very afraid, Steven Thrasher:

Retracto, the Correction Alpaca's coming after your ass, Steven Thrasher (Village Voice): http://tinyurl.com/ycday8s

Breitbart has been tweeting furiously for the past seven hours or so on this. I've gotta say this for the guy, he sure has stamina.

I was there too. It's all true. He also beat his mother and stole candy from a baby.

Well, this certainly explains why James refuses to interview with almost anyone other than Fox.

If you ever read his excuses for not interviewing on CNN, or not fielding questions about the glaring contradictions in his little smear tapes, its really clear that the guy has far too much to hide. His rhetoric, in that respect, is hysterical and paranoid (see his Sept 11,'09 post on BigGov "On Why I wont Return Phone Calls From an Intrepid CNN Producer"... it's just insane.) I've always wondered about that element in his PR. It never made sense for a journalist (even a politically active one) to be so shadey.

Now its clear. He's afraid that all of this is going to come out. After all, he does have a history of racially motivated stunts. And that could be very damaging to his patrons.

All in all, i think its HILARIOUS that O'Keefe whined on Hannity that if only he could get his New Orleans tapes released, he'd be cleared of any of his apparent criminal activity. That's just AWESOME!!! I wonder what ACORN would say?

I mean, since Sept '09 ACORN has been repeatedly asking that his smear tapes be produced unedited and in full. He has always refused to, and he has always been a big dick about it. Breitbart accuses anyone who doubts the validity of the edited bits on the tapes of being just shy of a child-molester.

So now O'Keefe is begging us to believe that a sworn FBI affadavit is just "liberal media bias." And Breitbart, who routinely levels some of the UGLIEST smears against very good people, -with absolutely no retraction or correction-, begs us all not to rush to judgment. Breitbart even advanced some lunatic theory of this being AG Holders handiwork!!

Well, O'keefe tried to frame people over falsified crimes, and refused to allow for a full discclosure of exculpatory evidence. How ironic that he should be charged with a real crime, and beg for such purported evidence to come to light.

Pretty disgusting defamation campaign going on here against O'Keefe.

*SPIT*

Great journalism VV! If you would get off your lazy arse and actually check the truth you would find that everything you write in this "article" (which you lifted from some whacko left-wing blog) is a lie!

Steve Thrasher, reporter (snicker, snicker).

And this is "journalism" today. Lie, smear, and attack despite the astounding paucity of proof to back up smarmy allegations. As long as the story fits the narrative, fact checking is not only unnecessary, it's just not done by real "journalists." (After all, the facts just may get in the way of a juicy hit piece: Can't have that!)
Your rag and the people who "report" for it are so sad.

sorry you FAIL

Noboidy here has offered any compelling evidence against what Roy and the Voice claims. Since Obama likes both I'm siding with the the "O'Keefe is a racist tard" side.

You know what I can't wait for...the defamation and libel suit. Cause unless Thrasher comes out and tells the entire country what a pantywaste he is, that's what's coming. Sadly for everyone who told this lie, the witness this story's "source" put forth is backing up O'Keefe's version of events. So I'm thinking this is going to run into the millions.

Hope you guys have good lawyers.

This entire story is a pile of crap.

Uncropped pics or GTFO.

@THC

Your evidence:

http://bigjournalism.com/sright/2010/02/03/james-okeefe-vs-max-blumenthal-how-the-left-distorts-invents-and-lies/

Since it's Thrasher who is making these outrageous claims, it is up to HIM to provide evidence that they are true. He has none.

Village Voice = dishonest thugs. Why do you want to destroy the Western World?

Wow... the Village Voice CAUGHT LYING again? Noooooo wayyyyy! LOL.

Cmon, people, if you have to lie to make a point, it's not a point worth making.... because it's not true. When you have to lie, you are LOSING the argument.

http://bigjournalism.com/sright/2010/02/03/james-okeefe-vs-max-blumenthal-how-the-left-distorts-invents-and-lies/

A racist "white supremacist" organized this event?

LOL.....

The head of this even is half Jewish and half Korean. Yeah, sounds like a KKK member to me! LOL.

Waiting for a retraction in 3....2....1....

http://bigjournalism.com/sright/2010/02/03/james-okeefe-vs-max-blumenthal-how-the-left-distorts-invents-and-lies/

"which featured the white supremacist Jared Taylor as the keynote speaker"

Wow... more lies. He was ONE of the speakers and was in a DEBATE with others. Wow... imagine that... a debate. Didn't mention that, did you VV?

The guy who ORGANIZED the whole this is half Jewish, half Korean. It was a full college campus debate and speaking engagement for many people.... not some white supremacists speaker and that's it.

Village Voice = FAIL

Mr. Taylor has also appeared with Phil Donohue, Queen Latifa and Paula Zahn on their TV shows to debate race. Are the audience members of the Donohue show racist for sitting and watching that debate?Jewish and half Korean.

Since this story has been completely discredited, the Voice should probably take it down. Village Voice self-respect aside (heh), is O'Keefe enough of a "public figure" that an outright slander like this story is allowed?

Wow... this really should be taken down and retracted. A majority of what is said here has been easily debunked.

If you have to lie to make a point, you've lost the argument already.

Wow. Smell the desperation oh the O'Keefe defenders.

Hey, ok, I get it, I guess - but does this really work?

That *smell* is coming from the O'Keefe bashers. I mean, really, when you see such a piss-poor smear job like this, you know you've won the fight.

Liar liar pants on fire!

Ha!

James O'Keefe, the videographer famous for taking down ACORN (and infamous for trying to take down Senator Landrieu), organized a speaking forum for white supremacists and was even photographed manning the event's merchandise table.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a complete lie.

Haa haa!
YOU"VE BEEN PUNKED by another Leftist/Progressive/Liberal!!
You re~wrote a LIE! Did you even check out any of the story??
Pathetic! You look rather stupid now.
You must really be afraid of this young buck or you are trying really hard to get noticed by him?? hmmmm.

you guys really should stop wasting bandwidth publishing this drivel, idiots. wipe the egg off your face.

This O Keefe Clown needs to rot jail for the next 100 years!

Everyone who doesn't agree with you, Steven Trasher, must be a racist. And now you have proof! Or... at least you wish you did!

Seriously though, you've got less credibility than a supermarket tabloid... and yet by writing this ridiculous story you've made Andrew Breitbart a slightly more successful man.

You changed the title but left all the lies in the story. Good half-assed job at journalism. How about actually printing facts? I suppose that is too much trouble though.

Once again, proving that no one is as intolerant as the Left.

Crypto Aryan says:

Hey Crypto, know who else is intolerant? The FBI. Heard of them? O'Keefe has, and is going to continue doing so for a while. Even though guy is more a danger to himself than anyone else...
