James O'Keefe Only Gets Probation
Hey, wonder what one of us would get if we were caught trying to wiretap the phone of a Senator?

2. Two things. The first is easy, welcome to DU.
This part, not so much.

After his original fifteen minutes of infamous familiarity was exposed way late in the game, (too late, as it turns out for ACORN) thanks to an accommodating media that gave the story credibility where none was warranted and without ever independently checking facts alluded to. For me as a DUer, the whole situation leaves me conflicted. The BradBlog has membership standing here, and has for more than five years. Mr Friedman called out one publication in particular and engaged in pretty public dialog which I don't believe said publication has ever acknowledged 'significant' inappropriate coverage of the matter. I had hoped to see other members of this community be less of a conduit for the venue in support of one of their own, and something of a marquis/high profile member to boot, but it is not to be. People here post from it all day every day and I shy from participation once I see it as the source or the meat of a post. Most, if not all stories are available from other sites, so I don't see the harm in going the extra step but also have no right to ask others to express their support for Mr. Friedman in the manner I have adopted.



As for what might be next this back door boondoggler

This pimply pup has a willful disregard for the very concept of genuine, as he's well taken to his training as leader of the not so Breitbot brats. I'd venture a guess that he and whatever ilk are willing to associate with him are up to some other political stingy escapade which will end in folly.

And lastly, if the application and enforcement of the rule of law doesn't tip back to level soon, anybody will think they can do anything and things could get might ugly from there. We're supposed to be smarter than this, not that I'm claiming any expertise in that regard.

Okay, so that was more than two things, a long winded welcome it was.
