The O'Keefe Saga ctd...

Oct. 1st, 2010


by F. Grey Parker


It will be a wonderful day when James O'Keefe is no longer mentioned in any way whatsoever during our political discourse. Yes, I refer to that James O'Keefe. He was the punk kid with white-supremacist ties who sank ACORN using Reifenstahl film techniques. He was the darling of Andrew Breitbart and FOX. He was the guy who broke federal law by trying to interfere with phone lines in the office of an elected official. 


Celebrated by the reactionary right wing media as a "hero," he has at last gone too far. 


O'Keefe is the perfect representative of the American right today. Currently, our most vocal "victim-hood movement" is white, upper middle class and largely socially conservative. You know... republicans.
