It appears the right wing kook who infiltrated ACORN and filmed acorn members giving "SEEDY" advice while posing as a pimp with teenage prostitutes, finally crossed the line and got arrested on FEDERAL CHARGES.
The right wing has gone a long way to "Create" wrongdoings by liberal organizations with phoney schemes and scams, but in this case, they could be looking at 10 years in federal prison.

Anti-ACORN filmmaker arrested
Federal authorities have arrested four men on felony charges for attempting to infiltrate Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans office, including one filmmaker who targeted the community group ACORN last year in damaging undercover videos.
Among those arrested was 25-year-old James O’Keefe, the conservative filmmaker, along with Joseph Basel, Robert Flanagan and Stan Dai, all 24. They were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses and attempting to gain access to the Democrat’s office by posing as telephone repairmen, according to a copy of an FBI affidavit unsealed Tuesday.
The complaint said that O’Keefe was waiting in the office when Flanagan and Basel each entered the premises, wearing light green fluorescent vests, denim paints and blue work shirts, tool belts and hard-hats. They informed a member of Landrieu’s staff that they were telephone repairmen and requested access to the main telephone at the reception desk.
At that point, the two men allegedly attempted to manipulate telephones and accessed the telephone closet, saying they needed to work on the entire system. The men, who said they left their credentials in their vehicles, and were later arrested by the U.S. Marshal’s Service soon afterward. O’Keefe was allegedly involved with planning, coordination, and preparation of the operation, according to an FBI news release.
According to the FBI, the four men could each face up to 10 years and a fine of $250,000 if they are convicted. The case, which is being investigated by special agents of the FBI and deputy marshals with the United States Marshal’s Service, is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg.
Michael Madigan, O’Keefe’s lawyer, told POLITICO Tuesday afternoon that he was still unclear exactly what happened at the senator’s office.
"I don't know the facts yet of what exactly happened, but at heart James O'Keefe is a good kid,” said Madigan, a white-collar criminal defense lawyer who served as counsel to Sen. Howard Baker during the Watergate investigation and helped run former Tennessee Republican Sen. Fred Thompson’s investigation of the Clinton administration.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Capitol police said the department is aware of the incident and is maintaining close contact with law enforcement authorities. And a Landrieu spokesman declined to comment, saying Monday’s incident is part of an ongoing investigation.
he can spread over the people if he doesn't have to drop his pants all the time. But it's OK, we still swear up and down the emperor has clothes on!
