Isn't taping or recording someone without their knowledge illegal? Won't that be a probation violation? Real Journalist report the news objectively. They don't create or prefab a story. They don't become part of a story. Calling this felon a journalist is an afront to real journalist and to the informed citizen. Prosecute this instigator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246472225092205802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267597063062817567.post-71594204819007868652011-03-09T11:34:33.615-06:002011-03-09T11:34:33.615-06:00Isn't he on probation for trying to break into...Isn't he on probation for trying to break into congress womans phone system?

And he's made his share of misssteps. What he does is a form of performance art that I have no desire to emulate.<br /><br />O'Keefe does have some pelts on the wall, however, primarily from finding particularly clueless (ACORN) or entitled (NPR) people who probably deserved to be taken down.<br /><br />He'll run out of these targets eventually, and he'll be stuck doing shows in Branson, maybe.Rick Hendersonhttp://deregulator.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
