We are letting the Repubicans get away with the second Watergate.

The Republicans have completely succeeded in mitigating the damage that should be very much hitting their fan now.

What were the consequences of some very low level employees / volunteers of ACORN advising O'Keefe?

An act passed through Congress so fast that you hardly had time to blink.

What have been the consequences of a Republican activist, with connections to those in very high ranks of the Republican Party, attempting to bug the Office of a Democratic Senator?

He got bailed. If O'Keefe had been Muslim would he have been bailed? If he had been an African American employee of Acorn would he have been bailed?

Would the Senate have been silent?

Would the story have dropped out of the media?

For fucks sake, my little shitty blog because it called a Republican operative a racist got put on Breitbart tv and I had loons sent by Michelle Malkin et al to "hunt me down" and tie me directly to the President of the United States.

What has happened to the Democratic Party? It has become so scared of the Republican Party that a Republican operative is able to freely brag about bugging the office of a Democratic Senator, in the run up to an election?

This little shit was not a laughing matter. This little shit tried to bug the Office of a Member of the Homeland Security Committee.

This must not be allowed to die or be laughed off as inconsequential.

The side issues of whether he attended race hate meetings are in fact that - a side issue. At this stage, who cares.

Where is the Senate investigation? If there is one it needs to exclude any one associated with Breitbart.

What did he want? What did he hope to achieve? Who was he working for?

If Democratic Senators allow the publicity glare to leave the Republican Party on this matter, they may as well call O'Keefe in now and hand all their information over to Mitch McConnell now.

our time skate free (except for dedicated humans who protest the bastard.) Sleep in their own beds with only their mirrors to remind them of their evil...so what's a little skull dugery compared to that.

and (yeah he is my hero) Senator Franken.

but it was on at the pub.

I prefer Rugby, the men are more muscular and are not covered up by padding.

Isn't it over yet?

Still laugh off Republican crimes.

Try out this new freedom from prosecution they have.

set up a hate site, call for the death of all Liberals (their new word is Leftists) and watch those donations pour in.

Hate sells.

My recent experience of the American right is a lesson I will never forget and it makes me far far more determined to expose them.

but, I can't go there.

:mad: They're not even pretending to be worried about any upcoming (trial?). :puke:

They will spend a short time in jail and end up on Fox News as commentators.

:mad:

and you got a scandal, otherwise...

Who and how many knew about this?

the democrats are on a mission to try to please everyone and therefore please no one. all this crap about being bi-partisan and let's all get along is bull.
this country needs massive change and it need someone with the balls to go up and do it, not someone who will just pussy foot around issues as we spiral further and further into economic, social and political turmoil.

Can you imagine if the current bunch of Democratic Senators were around during the time of Nixon? They would have given the Watergate culprits a medal.

Someone mentioned the other day they thought Obama was a good man but he was not a leader. Certainly gave me something to ponder.

as is Nancy, Harry Reid, rather less so.

I'm guessing if you asked Senators why no inquiry, they will say wait until the trial, once the trial is over wait until the elections, once those are over it is too late.

We have to give the appearance of being bipartisan, no matter what the cost.

We must move forward...

Then let these true criminals slide... ? ... :shrug:

needs to be joining that line up and everyone should be demanding to know which one.

it really is shocking and an abuse of justice in every way. Yet these crooks are out, blogging and attending the teabaggers conference.

A great judicial system indeed.

Republicans seem to be running the show and Democrats are blithely letting them get away with it.
Repugs get all the spotlight and do any kind of destructive, obstructive thing they want.
Not only are there no consequences, they actually gain voters each time they do something horrendous.

Obama is trying to control the situation but the Democrats are too incompetent to help him.
Our Democratic party is pitiful excuse for a government.
At least the Republicans agree so they can do things.

Prepare yourself for the first truly Fascist American government, coming your way soon.

That is why Bernanke was approved on the ONLY "bipartisan" approval to go through the Senate by those that are bought and paid for.

Make no mistake, the Democrats AND the Republicans are letting the lawbreakers who are beholden to corporate interests to get away with anything and everything because they are told to do so. Just happens that Republicans are more in bed with them, so that it "seems" Republican.

This has happened with what Sibel Edmonds has been touching on too with what she found, which is why there are also "bipartisan" efforts to keep her quiet.

We need to be "measuring" who are the ones voting for these "bipartisan" efforts to do corporate will, and make a point of working against them on a bipartisan basis in the coming elections.

They are just mild mannered citizens like you and me.

Are there still charges pending, or has it been dismissed?

The OP sounded like O'Keefe was free and clear.
