James O’Keefe Punks Hollywood Greens
Powerline ^ | 5/21/2014 | John Hinderaker

But the content is eye-opening. O’Keefe’s crew pose as a Middle Eastern potentate named “Muhammad” and his American ad executive. They approach the Tickells with an offer of $9 million to finance an anti-fracking film. “Muhammad’s” motives are clearly expressed: he wants to keep the U.S. dependent on Middle Eastern oil, and to that end he wants to stamp out fracking. The Tickells have no problem with this at all. They discuss the need to keep the film’s source of funding secret, and talk about how they can create a false impression as to who paid for it. You hear statements like: “We’re confident that we can keep this [i.e. the fact that the film was financed with Middle Eastern oil money] zip locked, you know tight, tight, air tight forever.” “If we don’t protect–who is kind of funding this thing, if we have to disclose that or that becomes a necessary part of it, the whole enterprise will not work. Because if people think the film is funded by Middle Eastern oil it will, it will not have that credibility. It will be nonstarter.” Here it is:

The video is self explanatory. The hypocrisy simply oozes from these genuine pathologically green liars. Watch the video, but keep your barf bags handy.

If I understand correctly, this took place in the same Beverly Hillbilly Hotel that it has become fashionably politically correct to boycott?

In Hollyweird, the ENDS justify the MEANS.

Correct.

The meeting, which appears to have been secretly recorded, took place a few months ago at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

I think so. At least most of it. This is such damning stuff, I’d send this to all my green relatives, but they’d likely never actually watch it, and if they did would say it doesn’t matter, since the new movie would be correct.......

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Begley is threatening to sue O'Keefe.

Nowhere in the story does Begley refute or deny the sentiments he expressed in the video as it relates to his views on oil or America.

In each of his outings O’Keefe does more good for America than any of our politicians has done in the past 25 years.

We should never stop pointing it out,
but we have to realize that leftists’ hypocrisy

never shames them.

They have become incapable of shame.

I think it’s because of their understanding that there is a long term vision that people aren’t smart enough to agree with,
but that can be accomplished by promoting issues that they will agree with.

IE, ends justify the means.

So, any time their hypocrisy is pointed out, they justify it in their minds as not hypocrisy, because they understand it’s a means to the end.

Because O’Keffe is not an illegal?????

O'Keefe is as brave a warrior that we on the right have. Going into the belly of the beast and being effective as he is, enough for them to go after him the way they are, is the finest medal of honor anyone could earn.
