James O’Keefe is at it again, only this time he got busted before he could stir up more fake controversy. His “victim” was warned ahead of time:
James O’Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.
As you recall, Fake Jimmy Olsen Wannabe edited video to make ACORN employees look very, very bad. Here is the unedited version, courtesy of Rachel Maddow. Prosecutors in New York and California found no evidence that ACORN had done anything wrong.
“I just want to talk,” O’Keefe told Boudreau on the phone. “I just want to have a, you know, meeting with you, and talk to you face to face about this. Because, I don’t, I feel sort of, let’s just say reserved about, about letting people into my sort of inner sanctum…” [...]
According to the document, O’Keefe was to record a video of the following script before Boudreau arrived: “My name is James. I work in video activism and journalism. I’ve been approached by CNN for an interview where I know what their angle is: they want to portray me and my friends as crazies, as non-journalists, as unprofessional and likely as homophobes, racists or bigots of some sort….
“Instead, I’ve decided to have a little fun. Instead of giving her a serious interview, I’m going to punk CNN. Abbie has been trying to seduce me to use me, in order to spin a lie about me. So, I’m going to seduce her, on camera, to use her for a video. This bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five will get a taste of her own medicine, she’ll get seduced on camera and you’ll get to see the awkwardness and the aftermath.”
For the rest, go here.
There’s your family values conservative darling, just playing innocent little pranks on a news network. Who funded all of this, hmmm?
Now why isn’t he in jail again? Oh yeah.
