O'Keefe to Pay $100,000 to ACORN Employee He Smeared - dbackjon - 03-09-2013 11:56 AM
http://www.alternet.org/okeefe-pay-100000-acorn-employee-he-smeared
James O’Keefe—the blonde bombshell who set the conservative world of hidden-camera YouTube movies ablaze—has just agreed to a $100,000 settlement to calm down the unjustly fired (and weirdly litigious about it) ACORN employee Juan Carlos Vera. According to a copy of the deal, obtained late last night by your wonkettes and viewable after the jump, O’Keefe has also agreed to ink an 11-word non-apology apology, that sources close to reality are calling “insincere” and “suuuuuuuch bull****.”

And the lawsuits will keep on coming.

As usual, the right fell for a bunch of lies, and smeared good people/organization.
Only organized voter fraud comes from the right, where there is a systematic campaign to deny voting rights to the poor and minorities.

The nonsense of the right-wing lies about Democratic Voter Fraud?
Yeah, it is amazing that anyone is stupid enough to fall for that bull crap.
only a complete and utter moron would believe anything from O'Keefe in the first place.

Where for art this evidence of a systematic campaign to deny voting rights to the poor and minorities?
Re: O'Keefe to Pay $100,000 to ACORN Employee He Smeared - I'mMoreAwesomeThanYou - 03-09-2013 01:05 PM

Ok Serious question because I did not really follow this..
What lies did he tell?
RE: O'Keefe to Pay $100,000 to ACORN Employee He Smeared - Paul M - 03-09-2013 04:55 PM
None.
RE: O'Keefe to Pay $100,000 to ACORN Employee He Smeared - Bull_In_Exile - 03-09-2013 06:13 PM
Then what smears is he paying for?
the link went to an opinion site which had zero facts about the case.
I am open to the possibility that he is a hack but I'd like to see some specifics and maybe compare and contrast to editing done by others who the left does not consider hacks (Moore, MSNBC, 60 Miuntes)....

Thanks Paul...
Quote:"for $75,000 in damages, arguing that he was taped without consent in violation of state law, and portrayed untruthfully. And as of yesterday, O'Keefe agreed to pay him $100,000 in damages and tender an apology." Actually, the "apology" is pretty weak, but whatever. The paperwork is below.
As you can see, it didn't require O'Keefe to admit wrongdoing or to fully apologize for the wrong he did Vera, so while the $100,000 debt has presumably been discharged, he still owes Vera that much. "
I'll say this. If they have evidence he called right away than O'Keefe and BB did owe the guy an Apology, and likely the 100K
But this does not clear Acorn of all their issues. This is not a mass clearing of Acorn's slate of wrongdoing or a nullification of everything O'Keefe has done.

The conservotainment made their point. It's like Alabama winning Nat'l Championships. Nobody remembers when they take them away.

Exactly. "More national championships than ND". When did this happen?

And UAB is 1-0 against Little Nicky Saban, which is as close as we're ever going to get to getting those bastages on a football field.
Though we have played them exactly once in men's basketball and beat them on their floor.
