David Shuster: James O’Keefe Is a Convicted Felon
At :50:
Look how smug, as he totally screws up the facts.
The facts are well known by now. O’Keefe pled to a misdemeanor and the government admitted it could not come up with any evidence that he intended to commit any felony:
O’Keefe should sue every single person who makes this claim. He started with the New Jersey Star-Ledger. I hope he continues with Shuster.
UPDATE: Corrected spelling of Shuster. Thanks to JRM.
UPDATE x2: Looks like O’Keefe may be going for it:
One last chance, @DavidShuster. Put in a correction today or legal action against you is imminent. I can and will prove you lied w/ malice.
(H/t Erick Brockway on Twitter.)
I see no correction from Shuster.
I would like to think my post had something to do with this. (Or the email I sent him linking the post!)
Hey James: I have other examples of people who have said the exact same thing. Admittedly, the one example I can think of is from a guy who is not particularly credible or widely read. Still, if you’re interested, l am happy to share . . .

Falsely accusing someone of a crime with no basis whatsoever is one of the quickest ways to land yourself in a courtroom known to man.

narciso (87e966) — 2/25/2012 @ 10:38 amRe 2 — yep Patrick, that is going to require an immediate retraction or that is a first class defamation case.
He seems very careful later on in recounting the incident with Naffe to repeatedly refer to her “testimony” as the basis for the claims against O’Keefe — that sounds like very highly scrutinized copy he’s reading.
But the “felon” claim is just an outright factual error.
shipwreckedcrew (2e6c61) — 2/25/2012 @ 10:39 amIt’s interesting just how constant the drumbeat of this lie has pounded.
“Further investigation did not uncover evidence” means the claim O’Keefe committed a felony is simply baseless. Of course, he also wasn’t convicted of one, but I think the lie is quite aware of this. The hope is that people will think O’Keefe pled out of his felony.
It’s one of those lies that the liars giggle when saying, hoping correcting the lie forces a change of subject to something they can suggest is just as bad anyway.
It’s not far from trolling.
And what really bothers me is that O’Keefe was trying to simply get the truth out about a Senator’s alleged tampering with phone lines to prevent the citizens from being able to petition their representative about their business. When our congress goes so far it’s actual hiding from phone calls, that’s something worth reporting.
O’Keefe’s methods were ill advised, but mainly because they were unlikely to work. I have no problem with the project of finding out that a Senator cut off the people’s phone lines. They belong to us and we deserve to know about that.
If only O’Keefe had been an Occupy activists exposing a Republican, it would be OK.
Dustin (401f3a) — 2/25/2012 @ 10:43 amYes, Breitbart appears to be unstable at times. He could benefit from a couple of the psych meds I take!

Dustin (401f3a) — 2/25/2012 @ 10:49 amThis Naffe story must have been HUGE. Never heard about it before this post.
Too bad the left has been totally pwnd about Breitbart’s claims about OWS and has gotten this desperate.
Rape apologists of the left unite!
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 10:52 amHe should sue. Schuster is, as Holden Caulfield would say, A Total Phony!
As far as the Naffe story it seems that the case was dismissed “but Karch could not find evidence showing the harassment originated in Westwood and dismissed Naffe’s compliant, adding that she could still pursue a civil claim against O’Keefe.”.
Idk what was going on there. I do hate that there is an allusion to an attempted rape. Either put it out there (if it’s true) or shut the front up.
Noodles (3681c4) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:01 amRemember why Schuster was fired from his prior job?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:06 amSeriously, I’m willing to bet dollars to gluten-free donuts that the majority of people watching Current tv are working for big journalism or newsbusters. I don’t know anyone so leftist that they excuse the occupy rapes, or deny them. And again, I live in Portland Oregon, the city that elected an unrepentant pedophile to be mayor.
Ghost (6f9de7) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:11 am@ Daleyrocks I Googled it because I forgot but he got suspended for saying “There’s just something a little bit unseemly to me that Chelsea’s out there calling up celebrities, saying support my mom… doesn’t it seem like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?”.
And then MSNBC found out he was trying to get hired at CNN and let him go.
Noodles (3681c4) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:15 amThis is how they roll.
JD (448fa8) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:16 amHow would Schuster like it if I told outright lies about him?
Schuster is the epitome of journalistic standards!!!
Noodles (3681c4) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:25 amThis is “Shuster,” not “Schuster,” right?
JRM (cd0a37) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:25 amIndeed it is! I kind of thought I was spelling it wrong but I just followed the lead.

happyfeet (3c92a1) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:31 amNoodles – I was thinking more of Schuster’s prior coverage of the O’Keefe/Landrieu episode, when he was landed on by MSNBC for his inappropriate comments and bias:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/32165.html
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:32 amHe sure seems to not like O’Keefe very much. I am sure it is personal and NOT political.
I was going to just skim that article Daley then I read this “Media Matters, a liberal watchdog group” and read it not only once, but twice!
Noodles (3681c4) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:39 amJim Norton, I Hate Your Guts, the chapter entitled [censored]hole Keith Olbermann, on Keith Olbermann and David Schuster:
[after a lengthy fisking of Olbermann’s over the top apology for schusters “pimping” comment.] “groveling tone aside, what makes me want to cave his head in over this apology is the complete hypocrisy he’s displaying… In September 2007, during a rant against president bush, he said, ‘And in pimping General David Petraeus, Sir, in violation of everything this country…’ He’s talking about the President of the United States apparently making one of his generals take loads in the mouth and bring him the cash. Or, is Keith just using “pimping” to mean, “used inappropriately,” as so many of us understand it to mean in that context? I guess this [censored] forgot to mention it during his Schuster apology.”
It’s not really relevant, but if you get a chance to read it, he’s got chapters on Hillary “Fat Calves” Clinton, Reverend Al Sharpton Scumbag Extraordinaire, dr Phil, Eliot Spitzer… And it’s dedicated to “anyone who sits in front of the television screaming ‘[crnsored] you!’ for at least two hours a day.
Ghost (6f9de7) — 2/25/2012 @ 11:47 amI like Breitbart but he needs to be a little more careful. He should not have put himself in the position he did on that Shirley Sherrod incident. He needs to be more circumspect. I think that he learned a lot after that mistake. Conservatives don’t get the same margin of error as the darlings of he mainstream media.
AZ Bob (1c9631) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:01 pm“I like Breitbart but he needs to be a little more careful. He should not have put himself in the position he did on that Shirley Sherrod incident.”
AZ Bob – I disagree. I think a lot of the outrage of the Sherrod kerfuffle is dishonest and comes from people who have never looked at Breitbart’s original post on the matter, which explained the context of her remarks and her subsequent redemptive revelation and decision to send the white farmer to “one of his own kind.”
The people criticizing Breitbart over Sherrod seem to rely on summaries of what he wrote or posted which for “inexplicable” reasons exclude the full context of his remarks.
Dishonest or coincidence? You decide.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:11 pmShuster was fired just three short months after that “O’Keefe/Landrieu episode”, daley.
It must really suck to be fired from a cable news network with a little over 100K viewers, only to land at one with even less.
Colonel Haiku (09b2e1) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:15 pmThe Sherrod debacle was manufactured. It wasn’t even about Shirley Sherrod. It was about the NAACPs reaction to her actions. Remember the timeline: NAACP calls tea party racist, breitbart releases video saying, “look at racist NAACP AUDIENCE MEMBERS laughing about not helping a white guy!” it was always about the audience’s reaction. Even in the original story, breitbart noted that her basic humanity appealed to her to help the white guy (by sending him to one of his own kind, ya know, because it’s still 1935 and we still refer to people by their kinds).
Ghost (6f9de7) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:18 pmBut the Daily Basilisk, I mean Beast, say it’s the hot new thing in political commentary, lol. I mean
narciso (87e966) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:18 pmGranholm, Uyger, and Olbermann it can’t go wrong, lol.
Breitbart’s report was about ACLU racisum and the response by their members. The press and White House made it about Shirley Sherrod. Breitbart released all of the video he had (no 5-10 seconds slice and dice like you see on abcnbccbscnnmsnbcnprprsbbcxyz which is their standard).
And even though the ACLU had the full video–As far as I know–They still never did release it (still kept a few minutes on the cutting room floor).
Being careful does not give conservatives one iota of cover.
Whereas, you can be a documented serial liar, admit to illegal behavior, be hypocritical about ethics up the wazoo, leave your jobs and take a “vacation” from the foundation you started (cough peter gleick) and still be called a hero by the media and their sounding boards… And have your fake document quoted far and wide when it was an obvious fake within hours of being released (aka: “A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.” — a quote from around 1855/early telegraph era).
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Sorry–that is no longer operative (if it every was in a political sense).
Go get them Bart!
BfC (2ebea6) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:23 pmThe only thing that sucks is Shuster and Olby are milking twitter wars or whatever they can from Andrew. They are using him like Olby used Billo. It legitimizes there suckie channel in a weird way.

narciso (87e966) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:41 pmSeems to me that the rift between O’Keffe and Schuster is sexual in nature. Schuster probably would not stop trying to get into O’Keffes pants. A little bird tells me that Schuster is a tube steak troubadour.
LaInfidel (3b2b4a) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:48 pm“It wasn’t even about Shirley Sherrod.”
Ghost – My point is that even in the left’s attempt to make it about Sherrod, they are lying about what Breitbart actually wrote and posted. So was Beck.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 12:52 pmthe whole sherrod thing was sloppy sloppy sloppy at best
happyfeet (3c92a1) — 2/25/2012 @ 1:35 pmYeah, beck lost a lot of credibility that day.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/25/2012 @ 2:02 pmAttention:
Something questionable at #29. Don’t recognize the name, saying not nice things.
Yes, Breitbart and O’Keefe need to be careful for their own sakes as well as others. When you can’t refute them, smear them, that’s what good ol Saul would say.
So…when they say something actionable.. tie them up in court forever.
One reason Billy Graham never was seriously accused of anything was that he was careful never even to be 1:1 with a woman other than his wife, anywhere; he worked hard not only to not do something scandelous, but to avoid being accused as much as possible. In one way an unfair standard, but O’Keefe should stick with double dates in public.
MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 2/25/2012 @ 2:16 pmShirley seemed amiable enough I bet she makes tasty pancakes too and she probably says eat up now get em while they’re hot and I would say yes Miss Shirley thank you very much
happyfeet (3c92a1) — 2/25/2012 @ 2:36 pmHuh–the moonbat trolls don’t seem to want to engage on this one: perhaps they’re scared of being sued for their tinfoil collections if they are associated with Schuster’s argument?

In one way an unfair standard, but O’Keefe should stick with double dates in public.
This is yet another reason Billy Graham is so respected. This should be the standard practice of every male politician, elected official, those in the pulpit and many others held to a higher standard of behavior.
O’Keefe, choosing to continue down a road fraught with potential danger where dishonest hacks like Olbermann and Shuster and left-leaning media outlets aggressively look for any whiff of indiscretion on their search and destroy missions of the right, would be wise to take serious note of this.

He’s one of the most productive journalists in this country. Dan Rather and Katie Couric should ask O’Keefe how to do their jobs.

Unlike CBS news which will not release full audio of Pres. Obama:
Twitter tags (message is sent to):
Or, L.A. Times on That Tape of Obama at a Dinner for Radical Palestinians’ Rights Supporter Khalidi
So far, with the unlimited bandwidth of the Internet–I see the small news sources (blogs, conservative news, etc.) actually do tend to release huge blocks and even hours of video/audio.
Something that broadcast networks, traditional news papers, etc. rarely do–Even though they all have large web sites too.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:19 pmFree ID is a poll tax. And racist.
JD (318f81) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:20 pmLikely Democratic voters – phrase. A group that encompasses utopians, socialists, slackers, union members, the chronically unemployed, illegal immigrants, the entitlement generation, liberal arts majors, minority groups that believe the lie that their lot in life will never improve, AND the chronically dead.
Icy (9bbab7) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:20 pm==Even more elusive than all those ‘family farmers’ targeted by the estate tax, apparently.==
Your knowledge of the economics of American family farmers is also another obvious fail, Morningafter. Apparently you prefer elderly farmer operators having to sell out to corporations and hedge funds because their own children don’t have the cash on hand to pay inheritance taxes unless they sell the land itself– and along with it their livlihoods. Nice. Trollish snark is one thing. Ignorant trolls make me sick.
elissa (04bcac) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:21 pmMorningafter prolly loves it some convicted felon, drug smuggler, perjurer, bomber, now self-proclaimed political prisoner, artiste and progressive crusader Brett Kimberlin. Tiny Breet sounds a lot like John Hinckley.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:23 pmMorningafter – Can you double my money on a used car?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:26 pmDaley – I’m quite sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that GOP legislatures throughout the country have been passing a multitude of laws with new voter ID requirements aimed squarely at disenfranchising likely Dem voters. It also wouldn’t surprise me to learn that you are more than happy with their efforts.
Morningafter (9c4681) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:35 pmPhoto-ID… cruel and unusual punishment to a Democrat.
The Dumbing Down of America continueszzzzz…
Colonel Haiku (93974f) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:40 pmIntegrity test, morningafter” – what Shuster said was objectively true, or objectively false? You have commented under a variety of names – true, or false?
JD (448fa8) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:45 pmFunny thing is Acorn was not even very cost effective at registering real “Democratic” people to vote. After the last presidential election:
Got to love the closing of the article:
BfC (2ebea6) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:46 pm“Daley – I’m quite sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that GOP legislatures throughout the country have been passing a multitude of laws with new voter ID requirements aimed squarely at disenfranchising likely Dem voters.”
Morningafter – It does not escape my notice that you have no evidence to support your contention that the laws are aimed at disenfranchising likely Dem voters. NONE.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:49 pmI’d like to hear the answer to that. Please provide it.
Patterico (17e5f6) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:50 pmMorningafter – Why do you oppose fair elections?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:51 pmNo way it will answer, Patterico. Serial trolls don’t roll like that.
JD (448fa8) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:52 pm“I’d like to hear the answer to that. Please provide it.”
Patterico – Don’t hold your breath waiting for a straight answer.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 12:54 pmVoter registration fraud is not voter fraud
— The goal post is not here, it’s over there!
GOP legislatures throughout the country have been passing a multitude of laws with new voter ID requirements aimed squarely at disenfranchising likely Dem voters.
Icy (9bbab7) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:05 pm— Well, it IS . . . difficult for the chronically dead to obtain a current drivers license.
I would have to say that Schuster may have left himself open to legal action on an imputation of criminal activity basis, but not on the ‘injurious to another in their trade’ cause listed in the complaint. He’s a wingnut icon, he’ll even a jail term would only enhance his reputation in his chosen ‘profession’.
Morningafter (296fe8) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:09 pm“Is it possible Leviticus is being serious?”
– Patterico
Nah.
But if I were, I would say “Who gives a rat-f*ck about an attention-seeking little hack like James O’Keefe?”
Leviticus (870be5) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:12 pmSo, if you don’t care for them, who cares if people lie about them?
Close to an actual answer, “morningafter”. But you forgot the 2nd question.
JD (448fa8) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:14 pmIcy
Voting while dead is not a significant nor pressing problem in present day elections. You know it, the GOP knows it. Same goes for voters using using fraudulent registrations and voting by illegals.
If you have data or statistics indicating otherwise I’m sure you could provide a link?
Morningafter (e9719a) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:15 pmLallalalalalalalalalala because the left says it, it must be true
JD (448fa8) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:19 pmMorningafter – Why do you oppose fair elections?
Icy (9bbab7) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:24 pm— If elections were fair then their side might lose! And it’s simply too important for the survival of the nation (think of the children!) for the Dems to lose over something so trivial as not receiving enough votes!
Hmm, the Democratics think that Voter Registration Fraud is still illegal–2/6/2012:
Oh, I am sorry, turns out the person convicted of Registration Fraud was a Republican:
BfC (2ebea6) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:29 pmMorningafter,
I asked you a question.
As the host of this site, I like having my questions answered.
The next comment of yours to appear will answer my question. Clearly.
As a reminder, the question was:
Integrity test, morningafter” – what Shuster said was objectively true, or objectively false?
The beginning of your comment will say “Objectively true” or “Objectively false” followed by a period. Then you can spew whatever crap you like.
Answer the question.
Patterico (17e5f6) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:35 pmSee, this is what happens when you turn the progs loose.
Would someone please be so kind as to clean the feces off the walls?
My Sharia Moor (fd42ae) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:36 pmOf course, you may choose not to follow my simple instructions.
But then, your comment will not appear. Nor will any subsequent comment.
Answer the question.
Patterico (17e5f6) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:37 pmYou sure you REALLY wanna get into exchanging criminal convictions, scooter???
My Sharia Moor (fd42ae) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:38 pmMorningafter is guilty of felonious goat-buggering.
That is all.
Icy (9bbab7) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:40 pmComment by Morningafter — 2/26/2012 @ 1:15 pm
How about we go back to the Poll Tax–That is a good old Democratic idea:
MorningAfter, do you know anything about history?
What color is the sky in your word?
BfC (2ebea6) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:40 pm“… I’m quite sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that GOP legislatures throughout the country have been passing a multitude of laws with new voter ID requirements aimed squarely at disenfranchising likely
Demvoters who are engaged in committing voter fraud. It also wouldn’t surprise me to learn that you are more than happy with their efforts.”FTFY!
AD-RtR/OS! (7d4e01) — 2/26/2012 @ 1:46 pmVoting while dead is not a significant nor pressing problem in present day elections. You know it, the GOP knows it. Same goes for voters using using fraudulent registrations and voting by illegals.
— Yeah, it’s just like goat-buggering. There’s a law against it, but there’s never any need to enforce it.
Oh wait . . .
Icy (9bbab7) — 2/26/2012 @ 2:16 pmThat might be the last we see of Morningafter until the next screen name it adopts.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 2:36 pmI am shocked that the serial prevaricating sock puppet troll disappeared.
JD (448fa8) — 2/26/2012 @ 2:39 pmApparently, there DOESN”T have to be a Morningafter…
Colonel Haiku (cf30ed) — 2/26/2012 @ 3:15 pmJD – Completely out of character for it not to be able to give a simple true or false answer.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 2/26/2012 @ 3:31 pmIt is a distant memory.
Patterico (feda6b) — 2/27/2012 @ 8:25 pmJust creepy all around;
