This article has been conflicted.

This involves the dude that masterminded the sting op in which he & an associate posed as a pimp & hooker, went to ACORN, & got advice on how to get a house.

A couple of his buddies enter the offices of some Louisiana Democratic member of Congress.  They obviously tried to pass themselves off as telephone repairmen & examine the phone system.  There's any number of reasons why one might want to do that.  Today, I read one possible reason ...

QUOTE
Conservative supporters of O'Keefe claim he and two others entered Landrieu's office in an effort to conduct another undercover video sting -- to show on video that citizens trying to call the senator's phones to complain could not get through...
Opponents of the health-care reform legislation had complained earlier this year that they repeatedly heard busy signals when they tried to call Landrieu's office to register their views.


Then everyone starts chiming in w\ their fucking opinions & one got me thinking.

Emphasis mine.

While the law's there for a reason, it is NOT the measure of everything.  If these offices were actually blocking their telephones in an attempt to shut out dissent, then I've got little to no sympathy when someone tries to catch them in their lie.  On the other hand, if James is just some wanna-be media vulture trying to invent another story, then to the wolves w\ the fucker.

Right now, it looks like the biggest crime was O'Keefe & his friends getting caught.

Was thinking about this.

Why aren't all exchanges made by public officials on public equipment... public?

Because they're individuals who have rights as private citizens.  They don't want other people telling them how to tell other people what to do, or something.  Where's that transparent government again?

Not in America II.  Part of suckling from the public teat will be giving up certain rights to privacy.
