I've got to ask:

What does everyone think is standard "Pimp garb"?


it only matters what O'Keefe thought it was.  you can find it in the video

I've seen everything from shorts and a tee to a crisp purple suit with matching purple tie. So a suit or a coat wouldn't necessarily mean that he wasn't dressed in such garb.

you are missing the point.  did you see the original video?  here is a still, to refresh your memory:



he is missing the hat.

Not much difference between Kramer and O'Keefe.

no.  white guys have no style. 

that was a joke, people.

O'Keefe is a fraud and a liar.  only a scumbag would cuddle up to this guy.  there are plenty of scumbags out there.

I've seen ACTUAL pimps where similar clothing. Although he seems to be coordinating much better than they do.

Also...I could actually care less about the story, ACORN, or O'Keefe....I was just curious because people kept saying suit and a coat....and that can be seen around here locally.

With that said....if he walked into my place of business, I would just think he were a preppy tool trying to "be thug" but failing miserably. He looks like he's about to go a high school dance looking like a chump.

Edit: This is in reference to the original picture you posted with the girl. He looks like an even bigger tool is the new picture.

Yea. His mouth looks like a clenched anus squeezing a piece of coal and hoping for a diamond in the rough.

The things I miss because I don't have cable.

I stopped watching the video Bills posted about 2/3 through because I think I need wine or chocolate to listen to the rest of his hypocrisy. He complained about kids being in all the offices and how it was bad because *he* *came there to discuss prostitution?* WTE?!

What he does has little to do with journalism. I think he is a video setup artist. He doesn't care about truth just creating something to "prove" his worldview to impressionable folk. I wonder what he did to that fur "jacket" so he could wear it that way. I'm sure he wore it that way because of how his suit jacket cuffs wouldn't be covered by fur.

He looks like a college boy playing dress like a pimp and not succeeding.  And that walking stick - did he carve it himself or what? I'll give the Fox interviewers some props. I think I would have been laughing at him the whole time not believing anything he said.

An investigative reporter does NOT settle a frivolous lawsuit to stop the bleeding.  ($100,000.00 is a lot of bleeding by the way)

He was caught.  He did a hatchet job, but it was all lies and distortion.  Where the media failed was in not exposing him earlier.

Again, he was "caught" doing what?  Again- bear in mind that the full unedited tapes are available.

You worship at the altar of fools.

O'Keefe makes up news stories and then figures out how to film
it making it look like the story he made up in his head is correct.
It is not journalism, it is far from heroic. It is criminal.


I guess some people are more than willing to admit they don't
care whether it is the truth or not as long as it fits their belief
of how the world is. The end justifies the means if and only if it fits the dogma.


I'm glad O'Keefe is doing his fake investigative reporting for conservative causes. If he was doing it for positions I believed in I would want to expose him as a fraud to not taint real actual documented problems that really occurred instead of were story-boarded in some guy's hero complex head.

It is not journalism if you are the story and you created the story.
That my friend is closer to scripted "reality" TV.

They've never proven a single charge "fake".  Again- the full, unedited videos are available.

One of the traditional reasons people settle out of court is to
prevent things officially being proved in a court of law. Same reason the full videos were finally released. Technically you are correct, however not being officially caught does not equal not committing the crimes.

I think the One you think you serve is well aware of the difference. Supporting and lauding people who lie and falsify
info is working for the Other BTW.
