4th O'Keefe Medicaid Sting Video Hits Virginia
— Ace

Not a single media mention that I know of.

Think of how skillfully they did this. First, they accused him of "editing" the videos in a misleading way. The only evidence of that was that comical flashes of O'Keefe and Giles in pimp and ho attire was thrown in for laughs -- and that has become the basis for the left's lament of "misleading editing."

Having repeated an allegation never proven enough times, the media can now say "Well we can't run his videos; they're misleadingly edited." Despite the fact that the unedited videos all run in their entirety after the highlights that begin each reel.

1 I think O'Keefe rocks. He pisses off liberals like very few can.

Is he a Martian in this one?

3 He reveals things they try to cover up.Of course they find a reason to not show his videos.

4 LOL, Ace I posted South Carolina's response yesterday.

You guessed it, more training needed.

5 I bet Sting hates O'Keefe and everything he stands for.

6 There are Republican governors in both Ohio and South Carolina. Why the hell weren't these fuckers fired pronto? Aren't they working for the state?

Look, in my house, the New York Times was like the Bible. If it was in the New York Times, it was the truth, period.

And if it's not in the New York times, I don't care how much evidence you have that it did happen. That's how science works, right?

10 Unfortunate timing on the video release.

Does anyone know what ever became of the PBS sting? IIRC, there was supposed to be a follow up to the NPR stuff, but it never materialized. Or I missed it.

11 we can haz more Hannah?

Posted by: garrett at July 22, 2011 11:32 AM (Qx9DU)

12 Why report this?

This goes against Obama's wishes that we cut defense spending; not spending on food stamps and the like.

Because it would be a shame if we cut food stamps in any way. How will those poor, poor most likely overweight people eat?

17 @14 No, but I bet I would be a quick learner. I mean, these governors at least need to try as I think Ace pointed out that is the only possible deterrent to future fraud.

28 It isn't skillful. It's just "shut up" by any means necessary.

The fact is that he has to edit because nobody will air 6 hour clips (even though he has full tapes available). So anything will be "selective editing".

It isn't skillful at all.

It's easy, all you have to do is decode an RC4 128 bit encryption key, by hand, on one sheet of paper,

Produce an original context free grammar and describe the pushdown automa that executes it; Produce a compiler that compiles it in its own language.

Provide the exact number of points from a random George Seurat masterpiece where only 3 dots are displayed as a clue.

As always, this is a must-watch that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. By now I am convinced it is darn-near impossible to actually get turned away for any reason when walking into a Medicaid office. You could say Â“I have a stack of corpses in my basement; will that be a problem?Â” and theyÂ’d probably just tell you not to put that on the application.

If Sacha Cohen wanted to use his "Borat" shtick and to do some good and highlight some of the problems with society in general, he'd go into some Medicaid officies wearing his "maniki" and ask to put his sister, one of the best prostitutes in Kazakhstan on public assistance.

But nope, it'll be a cold day in hell before he does that. He gets a ton more publicity and Academy kudos with his self-hating, red-state rubes mocking act.

I recall Ronald Reagan working with Tip O'Neil's House.

Reagan was one hell of a negotiator, a skill set acquired during his long years as the acting president of SAG.

Remember, this was the man who walked away from the Soviets at the negotiation table, gaining him much public scorn from the usual leftist butt-whistlers, in order to get a much better deal later. And he still never gave up SDI.

Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at July 22, 2011 11:54 AM (9hSKh)

60 It's really amazing to me. These MSM outlets get caught lying... outright lying, in some of their corrections. Some have been caught editing video or taking things out of context or misquoting.

But O'Keefe used an amusing pimp costume outside the sting, and a realistic one inside (normal clothing) and that's proof we should ignore his evidence forever?

The MSM is shameless, but really, they are threatened. How many people are inspired by what O'Keefe's doing?

You don't really need a multimillion dollar TV show or printing press. If you can catch government corruption on camera, just post it to youtube.

61 Now some in Congress are trying to get their fishing gear into use with News Corp (steevy posted that info on the last Oslo thread). Because, you know, not only is it SOOOO much more important than the government smuggling guns to criminals, but the fact that several UK news orgs did it means that only News Corp should be investigated. Did Spock have a beard? Just checking.

65 Lemme get this straight. They publish a book 'review' of Palin's book even though the so-called reviewer bragged about not having bothered to finish readin it. They called in people to plow though e-mails and were blase about sparking riots ove false stories of flushed korans and now they want to pretens that they have standards?

Not as quickly or widely as ideally hoped for, but word does now get out where 20 years ago it would not.
