Convicted criminal James O'Keefe has released a new video -- this time attacking Huffington Post reporter Sam Stein and the Economic Policy Institute, a non-partisan progressive think tank. Journalists covering the story should be aware of O'Keefe's history of lies and deception.

He is a worse human being.

That wheelchair is his protection from criticism.

Before everybody goes off on me; I have a disabled brother whom Abbott thinks is just too lazy to work. My brother didn't get a multi-million dollar settlement from his own stupidity. He had the misfortune of a hospital mistake at birth.

I have been saying for some time; this is the most corrupt government in Texas history.

It started when Karl Rove managed to steal the Governorship for George W. Bush.
I take that back. It started in the late 70's when the bible thumpers wormed their way on to the school boards.

I came here in 1966 (women weren't allowed to own property until 1968). I thought the state was a little backward then, but now it is medieval.

This state is being run by a bunch of carpetbaggers, whom the natives seem to have no problem selling out to. It is just so easy to blame all their problems on "Warshington".
