Conservative journalist filmmaker James O’Keefe on Saturday tweeted an ominous message to those who follow him and influential work.

“We have a story we’re going to release this coming week and I've never thought about this before but I am afraid for my life on this one,” O'Keefe announced Saturday afternoon.

All people of any public recognition get death threats if they say something mildly uncomfortable to liberals.

Andrew Breitbart was talking to Sheriff Arpaio hours before his death and wanted to meet him and talk more.

When you say that kind of thing before you release information ... it sounds more like someone trying to “hype the message” more than anything else ... :-) ...

Beck is an interesting schmoe. Breitbart had something that died with him, probably also Hastings.

And then there was Barnaby Jack.

Or it could be a warning to the public that should he die inexplicably there’s a reason for it.

yea.. Breitbart was really just trying to drive his media buzz when he said he had high level threats. he was so committed to his media image, he even offed himself just prior to releasing ‘the big one’

/sarc

Please. He has credibility. He should not act like Glen Beck

I was thinking along those lines.

Since it’s about FERGUSON,

Do we know that for certain?

We have a story we’re going to release this coming week and I’ve never thought about this before but I am afraid for my life on this one.

To: Perdogg
O’Keefe’s upcoming revelation is about something he uncovered in Ferguson, MO. It targets someone in Obama’s inner circle.

I doubt this is Glenn Beck-style self promotion. O’Keefe is a great investigative journalist. He has shown that he is willing to put himself at risk of prosecution to get a story. If he says he’s afraid for his life, I’m inclined to believe it.

There were folks flying Isis flags at the protests


And Hastings, having worked with McCrystal, said he had story that required him to go off-grid.. probably IS as well.

And DHS was very thick at Ferguson from start to finish.

Sounds like something Glenn Beck would say for PR, marketing, and self-promotional reasons.

If O’Keefe is really in danger, I hope the best for him. I like him. I used to like Glenn Beck, though, too.

I guess James did not learn the lesson from the death of Breitbart.
