    Huh?? O'keefe has a great future as an investigative reporter.

    Filming gotcha videos is not doing investigative reporting. He's closer to Alan Funt than Woodward and Bernstein.

    O'Keefe has no credibility. The only job I'd hire him for would be plumber if I had been maintenance superintendent at the Watergate.

    CNN and MSNBC were thrilled by the guy who "punk'd" the Wisconsin Governor.

    I'm not surprised that O'Keefe hasn't been celebrated the same way.

    Meanwhile, Walker just got his vote last night while ACORN has been discredited and two top executives are out at NPR. The future of NPR's federal funding is also at stake and this episode may have an impact.

    Now, I understand that his methods are far from orthodox. But, maybe he's asking questions -- and getting answers -- that the mainstream press should be asking.

    The mainstream press has far more resources than this guy with a video camera. Why aren't the curious about the goings on at ACORN, NPR, or Planned Parenthood, all of which received large amounts of Federal dollars.

    I hope O'Keefe ambushes the wrong person someday and get his punk ass kicked.

    Then Mike Wallace should have served life. As has been pointed out, this is standard 60 Minutes tactics. No more. No less.

    Or closer to 60 Minutes. Or 20-20. Take your pick.

    Above views expressed because O'Keefe is going after liberals. If this was someone infiltrating Tea Party meetings or officials, you guys would be throwing him a parade.

    Exactly- as YF said above the liberals loved it when Walker was punked by Koch imitator.

    Not even close. Not in the same zip code as the stadium.
