ACORN Buster Sues Olbermann, Current TV

ACORN ambusher James O'Keefe files a defamation lawsuit suit against Current TV, Keith Olbermann, and David Shuster over two separate Countdown "news" shows.  Read the complaint here.

The conservative liberal-busting badass with a hidden camera claims the above falsely fingered him as a "convicted felon" facing rape allegations.  Read more at TheWrap.

O'Keefe, no stranger to defamation suits, filed this one in New Jersey Superior Court.  He has to show the defendants knew what they said was false before they said it or didn't give a rat's ass as to the truth.

The mainstream media are playing this as just desserts:  "Conservative journalist/activist James O'Keefe has often been accused of skewing the truth with his work. And now O'Keefe has charged others of doing the same to him. O'Keefe's hit pieces on Planned Parenthood, ACORN and NPR have made him a hero of the right wing but have gained him a reputation for dishonesty in other circles."

Prediction:  O'Keefe will lose.  His reputation suffered no harm.

    Thanks for proving, that I am correct, that Little Jimmy will not win. Koldys' Kave says he has a chance, which then led me, on that site, to the possibly upcoming Sandra Fluke vs. The Pig Man case.

    Koldys did not like me posting on a CABLE NEWS story about Sandra Fluke, and the reich attacking her, about contraception.

    IF Sandra Fluke sues The Pig Man, I hope she wins $1,000,000,000 from The Pig Man, for the same crap that Little Jimmy is suing for, defamation.

    The proof is out there, for Sandra Fluke, I really hope she takes legal action. 

    On a greater note, Little Jimmy's mentor, Andrew HalfBrightBart has happily died, SO PARTY AT MY HOUSE THIS WEEKEND!!! WE WILL TAKE BACK THE 9th SEAT IN NEW YORK, FROM THE REICH!!!

    This was the man who spoke out BRAVELY against the radical obama.
    So they SILENCED him....FOREVER
     
    Even if you are liberal, democrat it doesn't matter --
     
    DO YOU THINK THIS WAS A COINCIDENCE?

  3. Maybe it was the old Russian poison umbrella death.  Wasn't Breitbart walking outside at midnight?

  4. Wow, Who let Lenin's "Useful Idiot" on the Internet to spew garbage?  Now, Sandra Fluke has no case at all.  Matter of fact, her facts about the cost of contraceptions is baseless without any merits.  Don't Planned Parenthood give out contraceptions like its candy?  If she wants to have sex then go to the pharmacy and buy condoms or better yet, close her damn legs...

    Now, get off the internet and go clean your room in Grandma's basement.  Don't forget to give her a hug for me.  One last thing, Aeris has been dead since 1997.  Get over it!

  6. Marty is right.  O'Keefe is a public figure, and you need an iron-clad smoking gun to prove slander.  Which isn't to say that he isn't justified (consider the riff-raff he's suing), but only that the burden of proof is very high.

  7. Tooting my own horn, I was the Number One communications law student in grad school and undergrad.  I shoulda been a lawyer but I have A.D.D. and froze at the LSAT timed test.
