This convict needs to go back to jail... Democratic staffers in Colorado recently came to believe they were the subject of an O'Keefe operation after campaign workers became suspicious about would-be volunteers who had asked about filling out and submitting mail-in ballots for others. Recently, the 30-year-old O'Keefe has targeted the Senate campaigns of Arkansas Democrat Mark Pryor and Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes by filming undercover videos of staffers or the candidate.
Last Tuesday, a man who appeared to be in his 20s showed up at a Democratic field office in Boulder wanting to volunteer to help elect Udall and Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), according to a Democratic staffer who met with him and asked not to be identified. The man introduced himself as "Nick Davis," and he said he was a University of Colorado-Boulder student and LGBT activist involved with a student group called Rocky Mountain Vote Pride. Davis mentioned polls showing the race between Udall and Gardner was tight, and he asked the staffer if he should fill out and mail in ballots for other college students who had moved away but still received mail on campus. The Democratic staffer says he told Davis that doing this would be voter fraud and that he should not do it.
On Friday, Udall campaigned with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on the University of Colorado-Boulder campus. After the event, a woman calling herself "Bonnie" approached a different staffer and, according to this staffer's boss, asked whether she could fill out and submit blank ballots found in a garbage can. The staffer, according to her boss, said that she told her no.
That same day, the guy identifying himself as "Nick Davis" returned to the Democratic office in Boulder. He was accompanied by a man wearing heavy makeup and a mustache, according to the Democratic staffer who had met Davis three days earlier. Davis introduced his friend as a "civics professor" at the University of Colorado-Boulder and the faculty adviser to Rocky Mountain Vote Pride. Davis and the professor, who said his name was "John Miller," picked up Udall campaign literature and canvassing information.
On Monday, O'Keefe tweeted a photo of himself with a mustache and said he'd recently posed as a "45yo" for one of his "election investigations." |

He's the furthest thing from a journalist, which is the bullshit guise he keeps citing his actions under. "Expose'!"...and again, unless there's doctored, or out of context footage in tow, he isn't exposing shit!
He's the worse kind of hack, because (as was proven with the ACORN crap, that was later exonerated of the fabricated misdeeds) that which you're *investigating* doesn't really have to be a...thing...it just has to have enough believers, that insist it's... a thing, to be real. I guess when you feel like a trapped animal, or in this case a particular ideology that's loosing it's place in the culture it once flourished, you can justify anything to survive.
It all comes back to one thing...a black man won the Presidency. That's it. It's really that simple. Oh sure, you could argue it's the usual skirmish between opposing ideologies, heated up much more by a click-bait media that some would dispute wasn't as influential during the previous Presidents terms, buuuuttt...the undercurrent is not nearly as subtle as those who were negatively floored at this Presidents election/s, think it is. Democrat is bad enough, but a black democrat? As President? Holy shit. The bottom just fell out of reality.
A black President represented a changing of the guard, status quo. Like REAL fucking change, even though it's been mocked endlessly. The real change many of us were hoping for, is moving at a sloths pace. But it's moving to fast for those scared to fucking death of it, and it's on neon display as a result. We've got one of the most obstructive congresses in modern history. We've got a President, who is much more moderate than progressives had hoped for...and we've got everyone lying for Jesus (as it were) when it comes to excusing lying for the/their perceived greater good.
I know this much, the southern strategy, regardless of shared social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage, which finds some blacks, latinos and other minorities voting repub for, despite the parties willingness to scapegoat them for votes to shitting old school caucasians, won't be the stop gap the GOTP think it is, to remaining relevant. Oh, you can slow it down, and bravo on the good job so far, but the tides all ready turned. They look at it like stopping a cancer and those who aren't them view it as enlightenment and progress.
Game on.
