    O'Keefe convinced everyone that he wore the outfit when he went on his little fishing expedition, even Breitbart admits as much.

    In addition, the tapes were edited for substantive content, like the ACORN employees who played along with O'Keefe, then called the cops afterwards, but you wouldn't know anything about that because you choose to believe liars over factual information presented in sources you perceive as "liberal."

    You're nothing more than a shill who actually believes ACORN engaged in voter fraud, HILARIOUS! You'll believe anything these liars put out, what a rube!

    You are shown a conversation where a government employee tells a pimp and a prostitute how to skirt the law and your response is 'what about the outfit they wore?'. Who the hell raised you? Who gives a **** what they were wearing? It makes no difference.

    Tell me more about being a shill...... Or better yet, tell me how he wasn't really wearing a fedora because that matters.

    Better yet, why don't you tell us how this already discredited report, has any validity?

    We're still waiting on that one. Of course you can keep embarrassing yourself by sticking with O'Keefe's phony story if you wish.

    Again, you ignore the fact I brought up...

    THE ACORN REPRESENTATIVE CALLED THE COPS AFTER O'KEEFE LEFT HIS OFFICE!

    He told them that there was a man who came in planning to open a whorehouse, gave a full and complete report, but you don't know that because you are a willfully ignorant shill.

    Look at the facts, you are the one who should be embarrassed, but you don't have enough awareness to even know it. You are a sheep.

    a) I don't think you watched the videos as they got the same response in about 6 different places (not one as you are suggesting).

    b) I am aware that one called the cops after

    C) Why would said call be in the video? It happened after O'Keefe left. HE was unaware of said call when he released his videos.

    Yes one employee sued because he had called the police after. That doesn't make O'Keefe dishonest. It makes him unaware that someone called the police.

    a) No, they didn't. The one where they did get the response they were looking for was the guy who called the cops.

    b) You're aware of it and still believe that liar? What a rube.

    c) If O'Keefe was, in fact, doing investigative reporting, that would be a fact worth following up on, don't you think?

    Those proposals have been brought up several times before and shown to be lacking.

    incorrect. You must not of watched the videos (there are more than one).

    Cable and phone bills aren't taxes. Taxes are included in the bills but the majority of the fee goes to private entities. Also again you are making a comparison to things that weren't widespread before. Of course people pay more for data services now because many of these data services didn't exist that long ago.

    Do you have any data though showing how increase in taxes compare with the rate of inflation or how the total tax burden has changed on the average American?

    Of course the version Breitbart released was highly edited. He didn't include the part where Shirley Sherod said she did help white farmers.

    I agree though the Admin. was confused and made a knee jerk reaction firing her.

    All of this was extensively discussed here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=190245&page=23&highlight=Sherrod

    HE didn't post the end, because it wasn't relevant (except to Sherod who got fired). The video showed a crowd of NAACP members cheering when Sherod mentioned she didn't want to help a white man. The fact that Sherod later denounced this view is only relevant to Sherod (she probably should of sued for deformation of character). The NAACP members still had cheered. That was the point of the video.

    That is precisely what is in the first chart I showed you, albeit not broken down by income. Nevertheless, you are sticking to an extremely strong claim without providing any evidence.

    This clearly shows you have no understanding of context and why that is important.

    explain it to me then.

    Did these NAACP members know she was going to denounce her views later in the speech when they started cheering?
