Patterico brings to my attention this argument from blogger Brad Friedman:
[I]n mid-February of this year, after we’d called out O’Keefe as a liar for misrepresenting himself, Giles admitted to Washington Independent reporter Dave Weigel that the “pimp” concept was added-on with footage that was shot later and edited
In the week after his arrest in New Orleans, James O’Keefe had to pull out of a speech on journalism in San Francisco. But it seems like the worst is behind him — O’Keefe and investigative partner Hannah Giles are joining “a top notch lineup of speakers” at the More…
Here’s a fundraising letter sent by the Liberty Legal Institute’s Hannah Giles Legal Defense Fund to offset legal costs incurred by Giles — the star of last year’s ACORN sting — as a result of a lawsuit filed against her by ACORN and some of its former employees. The mailing More…
Joan Walsh points to a video I’d been wondering about — the footage shot by cameramen who were trailing Andrew Breitbart at CPAC, monitoring his conversations with journalists and liberal bloggers. The exchange captured in this blog post is in there, complete with Breitbart leaning into my More…

I caught up with Hannah Giles, co-star of the ACORN sting videos, after she accepted one of 10 “Buckley Awards” handed out in the XPAC lounge for young conservative leaders. Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack and FreedomWorks organizer Brendan Steinhauser were among the winners, but no one attracted as much More…
On the way from the press room to a Thursday night reception I snapped the quick photo below of James O’Keefe (left), who made it to CPAC after all, and who has been tight-lipped to reporters but hardly shy about making the rounds with conservative admirers. O’Keefe’s partner in the More…
