The arrest of O'Keefe be another example of how racism is not dead in America.
Just imagine if instead of O'Keefe, it was a Junior employee of Acorn trying to bug the phone of a Republican Senator? Imagine the reaction.

Fox would be demanding an investigation into White House links. Never mind saying it needs "context".

The Senate would be up in arms.

The likes of Malkin would be saying it is a Commie plot.

The word alleged would NOT be used.

So what calls for an investigation in to Breitbart will we hear?
