“It’s All About the Money” – James O’Keefe Takes Down Obama Insider & Shakedown Artist Al Sharpton

Here’s the latest video from Project Veritas showing how the families and attorneys of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown really feel about Rev. Al Sharpton.

Additionally, local clergy and others express their opinions about how Sharpton exploits tragedy for personal gain.
Via Veritas Visuals:

VIDEO - Eric Garner & Trayvon Martin Family, Michael Brown Lawyer Say Al Sharpton Exploited Their Tragedies

The New York Post reported:

Al Sharpton is all about the Benjamins, a daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner claims in a bombshell videotape.

Erica Snipes tees off on the reverend as interested primarily in money during a secretly recorded conversation by controversial conservative activist James O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas.

One of O’Keefe’s investigators poses as a Garner supporter with a hidden camera during a protest last month at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.

“You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense?” the investigator is heard asking Garner’s oldest daughter.

“He’s about this,” Snipes replies, rubbing her fingers together.

“He’s about money with you?” the undercover asks.

“Yeah,” Snipes responds.

Snipes, 24, also complained that the Staten Island director of Sharpton’s National Action Network, Cynthia Davis, scolded her for handing out street fliers about her father’s case that did not include NAN’s logo.

Yep. Which is, sadly enough, all we can expect from O’Keefe from now on. Him and Beck are two peas in a pod that way.

Has O'Keefe pulled any Beckish stunts in the past? I mean, Beck has pulled the "subscribe to my internet TV show now so you will hear this terrifying, dramatic, world-changing news" thing like 15 times.

no... it may very well be literally. I do think the posted video is a re-hash of what we already knew.. But I’d bet there is more to come.

O’Keefe is no Beck.

Beck is as big of huckster as has ever lived.

Listening to Beck praise Islam for being a religion of peace shows just how willing he is to try to appease as many as possible. He (Beck) goes to incredible lengths to mention all his progressive and liberal friends he has to dinner and socializes among. Beck is a fraud. O’Keefe is not at least not this far. Give him the benefit if the doubt and lets see what else he puts out.

Beck took many conservatives for long rides only to arrive back where they started.
Beck is multiculturalism for wanna be conservatives.

...

I’m sure he’s just trying to raise money to pay his taxes.

They wouldn't say this out in the open to the press. They didn't know they were being filmed.

I didn’t think of this, but you make an excellent point. Now everyone will be watching for an “accident “!

Well its not that I enjoy slamming this administration, its just that they give me so much ammunition and reasons to. They’re constantly picking away at constitutional rights using deception and underhanded legislation while trying to steer us into financial ruin and socialism which we know doesn’t work and never will because it goes against the very nature of men to be free and think for themselves. Other than the true God, that’s the reason they hate us s; be use we’re not sheeple. There will always be guardians and watchmen. Its our duty.

O’Keefe isn’t racist. He just digs for the truth and calls a spade a spade.

I think that is the critical part of the post. Perhaps more blacks will realize that they’ve been had/used and turn away, much like the citizens in The Emperor’s New Clothes. This could be a deal breaker for Sharpton in terms of his making money and being useful to those who would use the black community for their own purposes.
