Fake ACORN pimp’s group cans executive director over failed CNN sting

James O’Keefe’s plan to secretly film fake seduction of CNN reporter on ‘floating pleasure palace’ scuttled by disgruntled co-founder of his organization

Conservative activist James O’Keefe, best known for his heavily-edited videos of employees at the anti-poverty ACORN, is now alleged to have planned to turn the same tactics on news network CNN.

The plans, however, blew up in his face when the executive director of his Project Veritas tipped off CNN correspondent Abbie Boudreau before O’Keefe could lure her onto what CNN describes as “a boat filled with sexually explicit props” and record her reaction to his “sexually suggestive comments.”

Isabel Santa, who saw O’Keefe’s planned sting as an “incredibly bad” idea and alerted Boudreau to what was happening, has since been relieved of her duties and erased from the Project Veritas website, where the link to https://www.theprojectveritas.com/izzy now comes up as “Page not found.”

The Google cache shows that the same page formerly read, “Izzy Santa is the Executive Director of Project Veritas. She and James are the original architects of Project Veritas’ model. She is responsible for building the institution, overseeing its operations, and strategic planning.”

Boudreau was working on a CNN documentary about young conservative activists, “Right on the Edge,” which the network will be airing this weekend. According to CNN, when she asked to be present during the shooting of a music video starring O’Keefe, the video director, Christian Hartsock — who previously worked on the ACORN sting — told her that O’Keefe was reluctant but would call her to discuss the request.

O’Keefe secretly recorded that call, during which he asked Boudreau to meet with him in person and alone, and emailed it to Santa and two other colleagues under the heading “Getting Closer.”

Ben Whetmore — who gained notice last winter for playing host to O’Keefe and his associates when they were arrested in New Orleans for attempting to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu’s phones — participated enthusiastically in O’Keefe’s plans. He produced a 13-page memo which described CNN as “a kinown unfriendly media organization” and suggested that O’Keefe should outfit his boat as a floating pleasure palace and then secretly film Boudreau as he came onto her privately.

“I’ve been approached by CNN for an interview where I know what their angle is,” O’Keefe was to say in the video. “They want to portray me and my friends as crazies, as non-journalists, as unprofessional and likely as homophobes, racists or bigots of some sort…. Instead, I’ve decided to have a little fun. Instead of giving her a serious interview, I’m going to punk CNN. … This bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five will get a taste of her own medicine, she’ll get seduced on camera and you’ll get to see the awkwardness and the aftermath.”

Those were the plans that Santa saw as an “incredibly bad” idea. “I have a problem on my hands that I think has the potential for unnecessary backlash,” she wrote to an unidentified donor to Project Veritas. “She doesn’t know she is getting on a boat but rather James’ office. James has staged the boat to be a palace of pleasure with all sorts of props, wants to have a bizarre sexual conversation with her. He wants to gag CNN.”

Boudreau says that when she showed up, an obviously distressed Santa explained to her “that James was going to be dressed up and have strawberries and champagne on the boat, and he was going to hit on me the whole time.” As a result, Boudreau confronted O’Keefe when he appeared, told him he did not have permission to record her, and left.

“That is not my work product,” O’Keefe told CNN when asked about the plans outlined in Whetmore’s memo. “When it was sent to me, I immediately found certain elements highly objectionable and inappropriate, and did not consider them for one minute following it.”

According to Santa, however, this is not true and the emails which she supplied to CNN reveal O’Keefe’s true intentions.

Neither O’Keefe nor Whetmore has commented further on the matter, but on Sunday, Whetmore twittered “I liked a YouTube video — America’s Most Trusted News Source, CNN, reporting falsely o…” The video posted by Whetmore shows brief clips of CNN reporters criticizing the ACORN sting as “entrapment” and “propaganda.”

    Two thoughts: Why isn’t this guy in jail? And, it seems Isabel Santos didn’t understand the nature of her relationship with that organization, if calling out O’Keefe was all it took for her to be forced out. Or, did she really quit?

    What an absurd circumstance. This guy has lost his mind and apparently the executive director of his own organization agrees.

    C’mon, James! Even if you had succeeded in taping her, there’s not one American alive who would believe for one minute that she could ever be attracted to a slime-coated, weasly little Dennis the Menace look-alike with a hidden camera instead of a slingshot.
    I think if you had succeeded in taping her, we would have seen a gorgeous blond CNN reporter beating the chicken soup out a nefarious, spindly, ethically-challenged little turd, on video. And he wouldn’t even need to edit it!

    What is it about people that they literally think they are “so hot” that the very fact they walk into a room it is foreplay.

    Seriously, does O’Keefe think he’s a hunk ‘o burnin’ love that any and all women will just be grateful to his sexual advances?

    That pleasure palace of O’Keefe seems to have been styled after the flick Foul Play ..remember Goldie Hawn goes into a guy’s apartment to hide from thugs ….the guy hits a few switches and his entire room turns into a pleasure palace, blow up doll included.

    O’Keefe seriously needs to get laid one of these days by someone he doesn’t have to pay.

    Oh how the twisted minds of the GOP work. I saw this story on CNN this morning and was aghast, even by O’Keefe’s sorry standards. What kind of sick twisted mind thinks this way? And they were going to take this video straight to Fox so that Fox could break the story before CNN. Was Fox in on this planned little sabotage theory?? I wouldn’t doubt it for a second!!

    His arrogance is just astonishing. For a shit eating little punk like this to be allowed to go around ruining people’s lives for profit is intolerable. I hope this kind of thing violates his probation. He NEEDS some jail time to thin about what a little bastard he is.

    It’s just astonishing to me that he is allowed to go around doing things like he has, things that disenfranchise tens of millions from participation in their own country. For a rich little fuck to be screwing poor people is just inexcusable. This is what you can count on more and more as the rich try to keep what they have stolen from us all over the last 30 years. Expect their snot nosed little bastard children to be the cause of more and more pain and heartache. Those raised to be “better” never are. They just think so.

    May this little fucker rot in hell, and soon. I can see NO reason for his continued existence. I’m not advocating violence, but a well timed car accident, maybe. Come on, Karma, do your thing.

    Violation of MD Wiretap Laws. Again.

    Convicted federal criminal and Rightwing dirty-trickster James O’Keefe appears to have flagrantly run afoul of the rule of law yet again. This time, he appears to have violated and/or conspired to violate Maryland’s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act. It would not be the first instance of him having done so.

    The apparent violation(s) of state felony laws, revealed today as part of what is being reported as O’Keefe’s “botched” attempt to “punk CNN”, comes on the heels of O’Keefe’s previous apparent violations of the very same laws in MD, though law enforcement officials have yet to hold him accountable, to date, for those previous offenses.

    So, where did Whetmore and O’Keefe get the DATE RAPE DRUG????

    Aw, c’mon, these two planned on luring Boudreau onto a boat rigged with sex toys, and then trying to get her to drink some champagne.

    I just bet they spiked the champagne with a DATE RAPE DRUG, planning on undressing her after she was unconscious, staging sex scenes, and then dumping her unconscious somewhere.

    These right-wing convicts are a menace to society. And I still say that O’Keefe bears a striking resemblance to Timothy McVeigh. And the right-wing crackpots behind and funding Project Veritas, who canned Santa, are just as dangerous. Aiding and abetting criminals like Whetmore and O’Keefe just proves it.

    Thinking about it a little more just tells me one thing: That his “punk” would only have shown, no matter what her actions were, that he himself is a shit eating little bastard who can’t control himself around women. It shows that he has NO respect for women, that he ONLY relates to them as sex objects and that he himself gives in to his basest thoughts rather than having ANY sense of “personal responsibility”. Hardly that much of a cut on her as it is a serious indictment on HIS character.

    And what an arrogant, ego driven piece of crap to think that he would stand a chance with any REAL woman. He is a punk kid and she would have laughed in his face, I’m sure. What a telling thing that he hasn’t moved past some adolescent fantasy of being able to seduce any woman he wants. He has a LOT of growing up to do. I hope that at least SOME of it is done in jail where he belongs.

    If these creeps weren’t so dangerous I’d chalk their behavior up to reich-wing fratboy amateurism, but let’s not forget, they got the Congress to (illegally–no one ever talks about this) defund ACORN, and also paid little price for attempting to wiretap a sitting US Senator.

    Obviously they have serious and very dangerous plans in mind. You have to wonder if anyone running the gov’t is paying attention to these folks, or if it’s yet another IOKIYAR situation that’ll be overlooked till they do something that ends up in people losing their lives.

    Because the corporate media want to “understand” these reich-wingers. They feel bad because the reich-wingers insult and demean and denounce them regularly, working the ref so to speak, to get them to accept and disseminate reich-wing memes.

    We’re talking rape here.

    Although luckily avoided, but ONLY through the actions of a third party, it sounds like there’s enough evidence to prosecute him for plotting to commit a number of crimes -rape, kidnapping, poisoning (intentional drugging should be prosecuted as intentional poisoning), etc., and the FULL intention and ability to carry them out. This was GOING to happen -except for the actions of a third party.

    The female reporter was very lucky in this instance. If she had set foot on that boat O’Keefe would have made a video tape so edited that she might have lost her job at CNN. O’Keefe is a very dangerous individual that will go to great lengths to destroy someone’s reputation. As a female reporter just imagine how that video would play out to the general public’s perception of the whole affair. After O’Keefe finished doctoring the video he would have made the reporter look like a slut that would do anything to get a story plus in the process make CNN look like a News organization that supports this type of behavior.

Goes to show you what the Republicans have become and to what lengths they will go to for a win in the cultural war that is going on in America today.

    His tarnished image, and the tarnished image of Breirbart”s org hasn’t stopped them from manipulating the Mainstream Media (usually via Faux ‘News’ releases) to destroy other people’s reputations and jobs… Case in point: Shirley Sherrod..

    Sex sells still, and the right-of-center News Media lap it up like cream. Morality? For thee, but not for me, if I’m a conservative in the Media…

    This is hilarious. The woman who just saved O’Keefe’s butt from kidnaping and attempted rape charges gets rewarded by being fired!

    It’s a very tired old cliche’ but here goes anyway: You can’t make this stuff up.

    One thing you have to admit, though, O’Keefe is going to have LOTS of biographies written about him.

    What a douche, literally. LOL

    There is a difference between a ‘Planned Rape’ and Conspiracy to Rape’.
    This rises to the standard of a conspiracy. How many decision makers in the
    line of authority are republican’ts? When conspiracy charges are filed,
    I’ll apologize — but until then the conspiracy reigns
