Conservative activist James O'Keefe strikes again! He was the guy behind the ACORN/prostitution sting. Now he records National Public Radio executives going gaga over the Muslim Brotherhood.
What a change. Back in the 60's, when the left was hip and cool it was they who did the punking and, more often than not, it was the right who was the target. Look at the befuddled villagers in the Woodstock film or high-as-a-kite Hunter S Thompson crashing the National District Attorney’s Conference in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, making fools of clueless law enforcement officials. It was a simple time back then. What great fun they had!
But these days, it is usually the left that is the befuddled target - and conservative activists with flip cameras and cell phones who are doing the punking. Consider the ACORN scandals (already mentioned); (now) former Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge’s on-camera physical assault on a 21 year old student who dared to ask him a question; New Black Panthers caught red-handed in Philadelphia engaging in voter intimidation; e-mails that surfaced from high-level mainstream media figures where they plot on how to best distort the news in favour of Democrats; and most recently, the citizen-produced videos that have been pouring out of Madison, Wisconsin showing striking public workers acting like goons and left-wing doctors writing fraudulent sick notes to illegal strikers. These are just a few of the more noteworthy events where prominent leftists are on the losing end of some conservative activists’ sting.
The left is losing its mojo. They know it and it’s driving them crazy.
