The nothing-wrong claim was what right-wing activist Andrew Breitbart was caught saying last weekend at the Tea Party convention:
But gee, look at what Reason reported right after O'Keefe was cuffed for an intent to commit a felony [emphasis added]:
I contacted Big Government editor in chief Mike Flynn, who initially ran the ACORN videos and hosts O'Keefe's blog, and he said this: “I have no idea what he was doing or why he was there. If he broke the law, he should face the consequences. Unlike the left, I don't believe the ends justify the means. In no way do I or anyone affiliated with the site condone his allegedly illegal behavior.”
Stop laughing!
So which is it? Do folks on the Right take “consequences” seriously and O'Keefe ought to be punished if found guilty for entering a federal building under false pretenses? Or does the Right now insist the ends do justify the mean and that O'Keefe should be excused even if he broke the law?
Also, why can't Big Government make up its mind??? And will Breitbart/Flynn come up with a Plan C next week?
Behold “conservative journalism”!
