Of Project Veritas fame, convicted criminal James O'Keefe has resurfaced with yet another undercover "expose" of a Cornell dean supposedly advocating pro-IS groups on campus.

I watched the video and not only was it just as dishonest as I've come to expect from a weasel like O'Keefe, but it wasn't even as good of an effort as some of his earlier propaganda pieces.

Despite the out-of-context clips they show at the start of the video, they show more of the context later. It's clear they did not phrase it as a pro-IS group, but rather as a pro-"freedom fighters" in the islamic state group with interests in providing humanitarian aid. It sounds all the world like people against ISIS who want to help the people who are suffering under ISIS.

Why does this con man still rate notice?

He has a lot of supporters? We will see who else picks this up.
 
In reverse, sound like shades of that African dictator- DKNY? CONY? Remember a couple years ago when kids had bumper stickers in support of his dictatorship, because some how things got distorted? I thought it was some kind of artsy thing, like "Obey" was. Lots of the kids probably did too.

I don't understand how that is related. Are you suggesting that the Dean misunderstood what ISIS is?

No, but apparently ISIS was never a part of it, anti-ISIS was. What was in common is media distortion, O'keefe being part of the media.
 
It's certainly possible, but O'Keefe definitely employed some very shady tactics. He's persistent, I'll give him that.

I am still not following. Anti-ISIS was apart of what?

And calling James O'Keefe part of the media is like calling Super Mario a professional race car driver.
