Andrew “Sgt. Schultz” Breitbart: I know NOTHINK! I see NOTHINK!

Actually, his only comment bearing the hint of an opinion on the O’Keefe arrest is in an update to the above post, where he writes ‘Indeed’ in response to the idea that Breitbart would never have been involved in the Landrieu wire-tapping.

What a total coward.

Hey, James O’Keefe isn’t an employee of Breitbart. Breitbart just pays him money to do things. I mean, how can you insinuate that said payment represents a relationship? Teleprompters, also.

I love this.

They don’t know whether to shit or go blind over this.

I believe it is a common rule in grammar and composition handbooks that any sentence beginning with the words “No way would Breitbart be so stupid” should never be followed by the word “Indeed,” unless that word is clearly denoted as dripping with sarcasm.

I love this

indeed – the congressman makes the important point that lying, rabble rousing, and kicking orphans must always, always, be done in a strictly lawful manner

that is, in such a manner as to make it appear lawful

Here’s hoping he starts singing in an attempt to save his pasty white ass.

By the way wingnut ‘exculpatory’ theories include O’Keefe et. al. trying to show how lax security is at a Senator’s office, and more amazingly, that this was all a scheme to get Landrieu’s communications subpoenaed and subsequently made public for a BLOCKBUSTAH EXPOSE!

trying to show how lax security is at a Senator’s office

Ah, O’Keefe was nobly sacrificing himself for the good of the country!

Not only should they continue to try and pass that resolution honoring him, someone should propose a statue of him on DC’s National Mall.

Preferably, the statue should depict O’Keefe in his pimp outfit.

Another big deal for some wingnuts is that the talk is all about how O’Keefe et. al. were trying to ‘wiretap’ the phones when the affadavit speaks of ‘tampering’.

It would truly be a shame if the initial media blitz around this story obscured later revelations that the facts as first presented had some holes in them.

Lovin’ me some karma.

trying to show how lax security is at a Senator’s office

I’m sure the heavily edited video will show precisely that. Unfortunately, just like the ACORN videos, it won’t reflect reality in any way.

From the artice:

“An official close to the investigation said one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senator’s offices. He spoke on condition of anonymity because that information was not included in official arresting documents.”

Those boys are going to prison.

From Free Republic, the most entertaining site on the web:

“It looks to me like this is a conspiracy to bust some conservatives. I’ll bet the FBI knew about it from the beginning.

They might have even talked them into it, even entrapped them to get the goods on some conservatives. If that’s what’s happening they can all look forward to some long time behind iron bars, unless they give the FBI what they want.

The problem is that our enemies are everywhere, they’re all around us and constantly working to destroy conservatism. You don’t know who you can trust. You think you should be able to trust the FBI, but can you?

For comedy gold, you just can’t beat Free Republic.

I’m sure the heavily edited video will show precisely that.

You mean the FoxNews air feed?

Methinks the young Master O’Keefe is going to be getting a taste of real pimpdom in the future, though not so much from the side he had been expecting.

Also, the kid of the W. LA US Attorney? Ohboy. I think the guy is a Bush holdover, and not even the real appointee but just the assistant holding down the fort until the Senate confirms an Obama nominee.

Y’know, sometime in mid 2012.

Oh, and God I hope there are some emails implicating not-so-Breitbart.

Popcorn, indeed. Heh.

Wow, it’s hard work to be a right wing blogger.

Dave Weigel has collected quite a zoofull of wingnutty gibbering and spluttering, ducking and weaving, perspirating and flatulating as they equivocate and triangulate:

“People can do good things and bad things,” said [obscure conservatard mouthpiece] Motley. “James O’Keefe did a very good thing with the ACORN videos. If this is true, he did a very bad thing. I don’t think one cancels out the other.”

I think he stole that line from Gerald Ford, actually.

[Heritage Foundation intertubes strategery expert] Bluey was hopeful that O’Keefe’s scandal wouldn’t reflect poorly on other conservative journalists. “He made clear that he was not doing this from any ideological perspective.”

Hey, of course he wasn’t, just like that anti-abortion doctor-murderer whackjob was totally unconnected to any of the Good Christians the Heritage guys hang with.

Bluey was hopeful that O’Keefe’s scandal wouldn’t reflect poorly on other Talibangelical panty-sniffers kitchen counter inspectors screaming shrikes who publish home addresses of hated libs would-be costume-renting 6th rate Watergate re-enactors conservative journalists

Accuratized.

“The editors of Big Government claim they knew nothing about it, which is almost certainly true”

So, is it almost true? Is that like being a little pregnant? Or are they just in a little bit of trouble? I sure hope Holder is up to playing hardball with this joker…as dumb as these retards are, they are Republicans who are willing to be this generation’s dirty tricksters…..it is a Republican tradition after all. And I don’t believe he’s a lone wolf either… I suspect O’Keefe is going to be dropping dimes all over the place.

I want to see the Sexy Telephone Repairman outfits these doofuses rented. (Though preferably not with these shitbags wearing them.)

I waded into hotair to read the comments, and as expected, it took them about 10 comments for sometime to come up with the line; “…. well its OK, there must be something there, that’s why he did it”. After about 20-30 comments, it degenerates into a bitchfight between those commentators that think it was a dumb thing to do and the nutters… quite entertaining in a ‘watching a car crash’ kind of way… oh, and the Black panthers get a name check…

oh, and btw, I love the troll, ‘decider’ over there, very familiar tone……..

gotaa love this statment:

“If he’s done what it’s said he’s done,” said Seton Motley, director of communications at the conservative Media Research Center, “the left-wing media is going to be all over him in a way they weren’t when he did the ACORN investigation. They’re going to love pounding him on this.”

when are his rights going to be shoved down his throat..

I think its confession time. Who here told Beerfart’s minions about All the President’s Men, except you editorialized a couple of key details?

Telling:

AB: In college, I did some things I’m not so proud of.

Another big deal for some wingnuts is that the talk is all about how O’Keefe et. al. were trying to ‘wiretap’ the phones when the affadavit speaks of ‘tampering’.

As I mentioned yesterday, the language here seems to be tailored to get these geniuses on terrorism charges.

The Affadavit:

On January 25, 2010, individuals entered and attempted to gain entrance to the office and telephone system of United States Senator Mary Landrieu, located in the Hale Boggs Federal Building, Room 1005, 500 Poydras Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130 for the purpose of interfering with the office’s telephone system. The individuals did so by falsely and fraudulently representing that the [sic] were employees of a telephone company.

18 U.S.C. 1036:

(a) Whoever, by any fraud or false pretense, enters or attempts to enter –
(1) any real property belonging in whole or in part to, or leased by, the United States;
[…]
shall be punished as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) The punishment for an offense under subsection (a) of this section is –
(1) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both, if the offense is committed with the intent to commit a felony; or
(2) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or both, in any other case.

18 U.S.C. 1362:

Whoever willfully or maliciously injures or destroys any of the works, property, or material of any radio, telegraph, telephone or cable, line, station, or system, or other means of communication, operated or controlled by the United States, or used or intended to be used for military or civil defense functions of the United States, whether constructed or in process of construction, or willfully or maliciously interferes in any way with the working or use of any such line, or system, or willfully or maliciously obstructs, hinders, or delays the transmission of any communication over any such line, or system, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

And, as mentioned before, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2332b says that this such action is a “Federal crime of terrorism.”

I want to see the Sexy Telephone Repairman outfits these doofuses rented.

The affadavit mentions that they were wearing hard hats. I work in an office, and telephone or network technicians don’t wear a helmet in order to go into a wiring closet and move a few cables.

I wonder if they had traffic vests too?

I’m guessing this is typical spoiled rich kid ignorance of how anyone or anything in the blue collar world works. I hope one of the witnesses testifies that the bad costumes made them suspicious.

“each dressed in […] a light flourescent green vest.”

I’m guessing this is typical spoiled rich kid ignorance of how anyone or anything in the blue collar world works. I hope one of the witnesses testifies that the bad costumes made them suspicious.

Witness 1 says that they were wearing denim jeans AND a denim shirt.

It’s certainly not unheard of to see telephone service men walking around wearing jeans and a jean shirt, mainly because everyone would talk about the giant, walking Levi’s.

I hope they at least wore two different colors of denim.

I’m just waiting for the right wing stance of no tolerance for crime…..or can it be that they are moral relativists?

It’s certainly not unheard of to see telephone service men walking around wearing jeans and a jean shirt

Uh, actually, sadly no. Every Verizon contractor and service person I’ve ever seen wear dockers and knit polo shirt, the new technician’s uniform.

Not only are these bozos ignorant of how the blue collar world works, they’re also ignorant of how the typical white collar office environment works. These stupid costumes would be seen through by any entry level administrative assistant.

NPR story just playing now said that one of the techno-nerds, when put into the car on the way to the slammer, said to the press “The truth shall set me free.”

Snerk.

Last I heard, Faux “News” is still waiting for more “context” on this silly little boys-will-be-boys prank.

Apologies if this has already been posted. I’ve been asleep for a long time.

Not unheard of. But at least these people are bright enough to wear two different colors of denim.

Haw haw! Developing. Indeed.
From interview Blartblart did with HueyHewitt last night:

HH: … Last question, in terms of his relationship with you not connected to this event, are you still, is he in your employ in any way?

AB: When the story came to us, what I wanted to do was to make sure that the ACORN story got as much widespread dissemination as humanly possible. The videos that he independently produced went on YouTube. And so Huffington Post, every single site put it out there, including my sites. What he does for the site exclusively is he tells his life rights, basically. So when he puts a story out there, it’s on the Brietbart sites, the Big sites, that he can tell people what transpired. So…

HH: Do you pay him for that?

AB: Yes.

HH: And are you free to tell me how much you pay him?

AB: I’ll…perhaps at another date, but he’s paid a fair salary.

HH: Is he…so he is an employee?

AB: I’m not sure that’s technically the thing, but yes, he’s paid for his life rights. And he’s, you know, he’s still…we reserve the right to say yes or no to any of the stories that he puts up on our site as we do to any other contributor who comes to the site.

HH: Will it be a mischaracterization to say he was working for you when he went about this?

AB: Well, I mean, no. He was not involved in anything that was related to Big Government, or Breitbart.com.

The comments at Malkin’s site are precious. My favorite one so far:

Like Hannibal at Cannae, O’Keefe may have pulled back his front as a tactic to draw in the enemy and destroy them. My sense is that this is a gig devised to blow up in the prosecutor’s face and give O’Keefe a hammer on the prosecutor and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Like Hannibal at the A-Team, I love it when a plan comes together.

The comments at Malkin’s site are precious. My favorite one so far:

FTFH.

That certainly makes me feel better about all the 11 dimensional pony plans invented by Kos kids. I don’t think they’ve ever sunk low enough to imagine that Obama would say, purposely lose the MA Sen race in order to achieve some greater aim.

I will say that I’m a bit worried about the prosecution. The US Attorney of LA East is still (fucking still, a year in) a Bush appointee. I can see them fucking it up “accidentally” to the point where the little shits walk.

God, I love that attitude: “The fact that we broke the law, were caught, and are now paying for it means that liberals are out to get us. If you criticize us, it means you’re part of the conspiracy.” It’s the passive-agressive variant of “HOW DARE YOU QUESTION YOUR SUPERIORS” and it’s slimier than a mid-orgasm hagfish. Fuck you, Seton Motley, whoever the hell you are, and fuck everyone who thinks like you.

Or, with a bit of luck, bighouse.com

“The truth will set me free,” my ass.

O’Keefe seems to fancy himself another Ollie North – but North was very deep inside the loop with an incumbent party … whereas he’s just a generic dickhead with a cellphone-cam & more chutzpah than brain-cells.

“My sense is that this is a gig devised to blow up in the prosecutor’s face and give O’Keefe a hammer on the prosecutor and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.”

CHECK THE KERNIGN ON THE AFFADAVITT, SHEEPLE!

These are Republicans. The idea that they will actually suffer any consequences for this is ludicrous.

These are Republicans. The idea that they will actually suffer any consequences for this is ludicrous.

They may be Republicans, but they’re nobodies, as well. Nobodies who got caught in the act. Tell me, did the Republicans come to the rescue of the Cuban nationals who broke into the Watergate?

And, as mentioned before, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2332b says that this such action is a “Federal crime of terrorism.”

Here’s the text of the law you posted:

the term “Federal crime of terrorism” means an offense that
(A) is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct; and
(B) is a violation of […] 1362 (relating to destruction of communication lines, stations, or systems)

Part B is a given, but I think part A is a stretch. Calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government, maybe, but it looks more like it’s calculated to embarass a particular official and I’m not sure that’s the same thing.

And the prosecutor would also have to prove a motive of doing so by means of intimidation or coercion or retaliation.

Unless one of these dorks has confessed to a plot to, I don’t know, blackmail the Senator or something, I’m not seeing coercion here. I’m definitely not seeing intimidation or retaliation.

Of course, IANAL, so WTF do I know?
