Imaginary Hero

I haven't been able to let this drop. I keep saying the same bullspit all over the place. That O'Keefe is/was a "hero" to Republicans/conservatives/etc.

Yeah?

Do yourself a favor - go to a search engine and type in "o'keefe hero". You'll get a lot of hits. Every hit I found in a decent search is a liberal website, left wing website, or liberal media outlet making the claim, without backing or evidence or links to prove it, that O'Keefe is/was a hero.

I cannot find conservative sites saying any such thing. I haven't heard a conservative or Republican saying any such thing. I guess you may find some vague, anonymous statements by wahoos on the internet, but is that the standard we wish to use in 'serious' journalism? In other words, it is completely a liberal fantasy. But, thanks to the bulletproof liberal media echo chamber, they are all repeating and repeating and echoing and echoing each other, saying it over and over...and they have nothing to base it upon.

Conservatives praised his work exposing the obviously illegal actions of ACORN.

Some Republicans in the House even tried to get a resolution passed honoring their diligent journalism. Not praising the individuals. Not calling them heroes. Essentially doing nothing more than praising the work of any journalist from CNN or ABC or the New York Times. Does anyone call a reporter at the Post a hero when they write a good story? No. Of course not. Insert double standard here. Of course liberals do call Woodward and Bernstein heroes, despite the fact that all they did was print info that was leaked to them. But that's neither here nor there.

Put simply, every story you read that calls him a 'hero' should be considered questionable, because that author has done no research into the matter and is simply repeating what they read somewhere else, not caring if it is true or not.
