Awwwhhhh. Too bad. James O'Keefe tried to wiretap Mary Landrieu, and got arrested by the FBI.

1. If this kid spends five minutes behind bars I'll be damned.
Pretty face. Young. Conservative. And you know he'll get a Republican judge and jury. First time offense, probably.

2. Just look at the Siegelman case. And this guy's Dad's a US attorney.
There's a deal in place--no connected Repubs go to jail. Period.

"for Acorn stuff", except the commentator. Is Fox trying to build his "defense?"

Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 01:35 PM by YOY
and if you know your Fox News "hanky panky" is two steps ("naughtiness" and "hijinx") above "stuff" which is in turn above "shenanigans".

4. Oh, it's a very weird story. Reading it like it's so unbelievable.
All while making sure they reiterate how guilty ACORN is. Got to get that little jab in.

I have guys working on a scaffolding here, spitting tobacco juice on the ground, who sound a lot like these two yokels. They seem like the kind of people who really want to be violent, but the closest they can come to it is yacking away on Fox. Gross.

Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 04:48 AM by DumbBassRepublicans
I think I'll give Shep, the benefit of the doubt...

I have a hunch that the large oak tree, in his front yard,

dropped a humongous ACORN on his head, while he was

cleaning up dog shit from his adopted chihuahua...

Must have damaged his poor, little brain...!!!!

(Shep's.... NOT the dog's...!!!)

LOL...!!!!

14. The basis is simply that it was "the ACORN guy"
In other words, no basis at all other than the fact that the ACORN "sting" is the only thing the guy is know for.

There could have been any number of legitimate reasons for breaking into Landrieu's office to wiretap her.

He got busted for aiding and abetting the bugging of a Senator's office. Considering his usual MO, it sounds totally plausible and unsurprising. I'm ecstatic that he got caught! Anyone know what the possible sentence is for espionage in a Federal building?

39. I believe that he's facing a 10-year sentence . . . if convicted.
But, the DOJ is putting together a list of additional charges.

Attempting to commit a felony on federal property is a serious charge. I hope he serves some real time for this.

You can imagine how popular conservatives are among the prison population. And this guy is gonna be extra popular with the inmates. He's tall, thin, young, and a hard-core conservative. Oh, yes! He's going to be one of the most popular guys ever to check into the "Greybar Hotel". They're gonna "love him long time".

Are these knuckleheads at Fox News the dumbest SOB's in the world or what. I watched this video and shook my head in amazement with what Shemp Smitty said...ACORN hanky-panky???

What the hell was that moron thinking with that comment. Christ a news story could hit those guys over the head and between the eyes and they wouldn't know what the hell to do. They are the consummate dumb asses.

Hope these right winger lunatics get sent to jail for a few years and perhaps they'll uncover some more shenanigans.

They will make up the facts as they need them... and you are right, most likely he will get a slap on the wrist and go free with a small fine by a Republican Judge.

57. agree on fux noise
But the charges they face are federal and the FBI has been on this case since day one it's going to be hard to just let them walk and I don't think we've even begun to see the end of discovery for this incident. I'm just hoping a big chunk of the stink clings to Breitbart, his mentor Matt Sludge, and fux noise.

34. One of these boys is apparently the son of a US prosecutor
No matter what happens, his dad's career at the Justice Department is done.

When you set yourself up to wiretap a sitting US senator, you're in the big time. Given that one of the suspects is in the immediate family of a US prosecutor, I would hope that no plea bargain is arranged, as that would be highly inappropriate.

If what's alleged is true, and there's no reason to doubt it is, these little morons will do time at a federal facility. It will probably be a camp, but you never know: this is the sort of thing I imagine that federal sentencing guidelines are rather harsh on.

51. If you look deep enough
we could probably find out that the whole ACORN video was
shot in the FOX studios. All they needed to do first was go out and
get video of what random acorn offices looked like....just like any other
desk with a chair at a non profit. Then they just decorate one of their many empty
rooms and create their faux news story. It was all a fraud anyway.

Burn in HELL fox.

Senator David Vitter, for example, was so-o-o-o-o-o offended by the "fake" and hypothetical prostitution ring at ACORN. . .

Republican Sentator David Vitter, documented illegal whoremonger, has no respect for anybody who doesn't know how to buy tail.

Notice how FOX is trying to keep ACORN in the middle of the controversy? Why?

This incident may have nothing to do with ACORN and O'Keefe was being paid by someone to get some dirt on the Senator?
