A Bad Day For Ratfking In Texas

Politics • April 2014 • Views: 1,509

James O’Keefe, hidden-camera ratfker and repository of Andrew Breitbart’s blackened soul, had a bit of a rough time of it down in the liberal enclave that is the Texas judicial system.

“The Veritas video was little more than a canard and political disinformation,” the prosecutor’s report said. “The video was particularly unprofessional when it suggested that the actions of Battleground Texas were advocated by a Texas gubernatorial candidate and that the actions of a single volunteer deputy registrar may even involve private health data, which is not involved in the voter registration process.”

“Canard” is a word we don’t use anywhere near often enough.

From the original AP report:

Special prosecutor John Economidy, a Republican, told The Associated Press that he and fellow special prosecutor Christine Del Prado, a Democrat, determined that Battleground Texas did not violate state election law by transcribing phone numbers submitted on voter registration forms. San Antonio Judge Raymond Angelini signed the dismissal without comment on Friday, Economidy added.

The inquiry began after conservative activist James O’Keefe and his group, Project Veritas, made a video that purported to show Battleground Texas workers talking about transcribing telephone numbers from voter registration cards they’d collected. O’Keefe said in the video that taking phone numbers violated Texas law, and Republican leaders, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, called for a criminal investigation.

Because Attorney General Greg Abbott and the Bexar County district attorney are running for re-election, the case was given to Economidy and Del Prado to investigate. The 18-page special prosecutor’s report found Battleground Texas’ activities were legal and in keeping with standard electioneering practices used by both political parties for decades.

Take particular notice that the person who unequivocally stated that O’Keefe’s contention was completely without merit was the REPUBLICAN special prosecutor who was appointed to pursue the case - the court merely agreed and summarily tossed it out. When the cronies of the guy who hangs out with Ted Nugent say it’s baseless, I think it’s a fair bet that he found evidence that the entire incident was a total fabrication by O’Keefe.

Well, for once there’s no need to yell about Texas, since its officials and judge gave James O’Keefe a well-deserved smackdown. Now however, breitbart.com will likely call John Economidy a “worthless RINO”, because that people who run that site are incapable of admitting error.

“We looked at the facts, we applied the law and the round object would not fit into the small square hole,” Economidy said. “The law is or it isn’t. It either fits or it doesn’t fit, and it didn’t fit one bit.”
