Complete trash who'll probably end up in jail at some point.

What I don't get is why people have been resigning over crap in his videos since it's obvious how blatantly dishonest he is.

"James Joseph O'Keeffe (1912 – May 1986) was an Irish Fine Gael politician. A merchant and company director, he was a member of the Seanad from 1954–1961. During this period he also stood unsuccessfully for the Dáil constituency of Dublin South West in the 1951 and 1957 elections. He succeeded at the third attempt in being elected for Dublin South West in 1961. However he lost his seat in the 1965 election despite increasing his vote. He stood again in 1969 and 1977 in the newly created Dublin Rathmines West but failed to regain his seat.

He was also Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1962–1963 and 1974–1975."

Based on that, HP. Also, there's an "in" missing in the article, as Dublin Rathmines West was one of the Tullymander constituencies, and thus created in 1977.

The whole ACORN thing he did was a well-edited lie, fyi.



He's probably one of the worst people alive, IMO. Complete scum. He's the perfect personification of everything the right-wing is today.

Major douchebag, hence I predict a stellar career inside the Republican party.

A dumb conspiratist mick if I ever saw one (hey! kind of like Michael Moore! lol).

Also this:

Couldn'tve said it better.

I would say he is a freedom fighter in that he is trying to expose all sorts of left-wing "secrets" in at-all-costs sort of way.

After NPR fired Juan Williams for publically expressing his beliefs and opinions on FoxNews, NPR had no choice but to fire Ron Schiller after O"Keefe exposed his video of Schiller on a political tirade.

That still doesn't stop him from being a horrible person, either. He probably has lied a few times along the way. To be honest, I have never met him and I have no idea what kind of person he really is. The phrase "horrible person" is probably too severe to describe a political oponent if the worst we know he's done is lie. "Horrible person" ought to be reserved for all the murders, rapists, child molesters, etc. out there rather than political opponents. I am not saying O"keefe isn't a horrible person just that I know of no legitament reason to say that he is.

Moore doesn't destroy people to further his petty party political goals.

Comparing O'Keefe to Moore is hilarious and stupid in about a million different ways, which we could all wrangle over in some incredibly long discussion that will ultimately prove pointless, because the people willing to actually make that comparison won't be smart enough to care at all about anything I would have to say. So let's just say it's a dumb comparison and mosey along.

Okay.
Perhaps that was kind of a dumb comparison considering that Moore doesn't go out of his way to utterly destroy people with his filmmaking.  So yeah at least he's a decent human being.  He's an idiot, but he's at least human.
Can't say the same about O'Keefe though.  He's about as inhuman as one can get without outright shooting people.
