Isn’t it time that the suckers dumb enough to have given money to Rightwing con-man and federal criminal James O’Keefe’s ironically-named “non-profit” Project Veritas started demanding their money back from this clown? Or are they simply too stupid to care about being played for complete stooges as Fox “News” and, apparently, Megyn Kelly still appear to be?
Here’s O’Keefe’s latest really huge fail, as revealed fail after “sting victim”, Academy Award-nominated Gasland documentarian Josh Fox, turns out to have recorded the entire conversation deceptively edited and featured in pretend “journalist” O’Keefe’s new video…
What O’Keefe got busted doing there, as seen in the Chris Hayes MSNBC segment above, is exactly what he does in every one of his pretend “investigations”, as we’ve demonstrated here for years. This time, at least, one of the victims happened to have had the foresight to have recorded it all independently on his own. It’s remarkable that even the wingnut dupes at Fox “News” are still falling for this tired con, frankly, much less people stupid enough to send actual money to support Jimmy’s scam.
For specific details on just some of the deceptively edited bullshit in his latest con, see this at Media Matters. For the entirety of the recording that documentarian Fox made of the encounter deceptively pimped in the scam video premiered recently by O’Keefe at Cannes, see this at The Daily Beast. For more on how despicable O’Keefe’s latest scam actually was, see this from one of Josh Fox’ business associates.
For the early history of the great James O’Keefe/Andrew Breitbart con that put both on these grifters on the map — before we subsequently revealed them to be top-to-bottom two-bit con-artists by debunking the entirety of their infamous ACORN ‘Pimp’ Hoax bullshit and more — see The BRAD BLOG’s Special Coverage page on them here.
Finally, if you’re tired of grifting, and would like to support actual investigative blogging and journalism that doesn’t just make shit up — but helps bust those who do — please consider donating to The BRAD BLOG, since we don’t actually receive hundreds of thousands of dollars (or any, in fact) from partisan operatives, and rely on only you to help us keep going…

Brad – haven’t read this yet – just wondering if you will be able to put the 9-minute clip from last night’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart regarding how Vets have gotten screwed in this country for the last 300+ years – really!
It was extremely gratifying to see Josh Fox on Chris Hayes last night with the full exposé on O’Keefe right out of the starting gate.
That O’Keefe is one sick, twisted, lying fucker.
James “the Grifter” O’Keefe.
Has a dastardly ring to it, don’t you think?
O’Keefe is claiming the filmmakers are bad for concealing the sources of their funding, but he won’t say who bought his ticket to Cannes, will he? The only O’Keefe funders we don know of are Peter Theills (who O’Keefe initially lied about) and Andrew Breitbart, but he was also caught in dealing with the family of Foster Friess.
Of course, O’Keefe’s former accomplice-turned-bitter enemy Nadia Naffe claimed on Twitter that O’Keefe/Breitbart had financial ties to AFP, which is the Koch brothers and wanted to keep that a secret.
But O’Keefe claims that he always includes the unedited versions to be transparent (if you want to spend hours sifting through them). But I can’t seem to find his unedited audio of the Josh Fox call anywhere.
