James O’Keefe’s “race problem”?
Crossposted at BigJournalism.com…
On February 2, the Left moved to its next predictable attack of James O’Keefe from its playbook, charging him with racism, including the disparaging graphic, right.
But the Left accusing O’Keefe of being racist against blacks is the equivalent of accusing Oskar Schindler of being racist against Jews….
Pro-lifers know that before O’Keefe became famous throughout the world at large for his undercover sting of ACORN, he was famous in our world for his undercover sting of Planned Parenthood. In 2008 O’Keefe helped expose PP as the racist organization it was founded to be by eugenicist Margaret Sanger.
The sting was simple. The UCLA pro-life student group LiveAction.org had O’Keefe call several PPs around the country pitching a very racist but enticing idea, the offer to donate money – but only if PP would earmark it specifically to abort black babies, to “lower the number of blacks in America.”
No PP employee balked at or denied O’Keefe’s request. One even expressed excitement: “Alright. Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I’ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I’m excited, and want to make sure I don’t leave anything out.”
But don’t take my word for it. Hear for yourself…
O’Keefe got the same response over and over, from ID, to OH, to OK, to NM…
In all, racist PPs in 7 states took O’Keefe’s bait. His investigation scandalized PP, resulting in multiple news stories, firings, and investigations.
O’Keefe’s investigation aided in our effort to expose the abortion industry as racist, with blacks as a primary target. While African-Americans comprise only 12% of the population, they account for 35% of all abortions, at least 1,400 every day.
I’m confident James O’Keefe has demonstrated more concern for the welfare of African-American children than any of the predictably boring Lefists accusing him of racism.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
This is the classic liberal maneuver. They accuse us of that for which they are guilty.
Racist?
That’s been so overused that it’s lost all power to move. Who ISN”T a racist? We’re all racists according to the libs. Even Black conservatives get called racists.
Now when I’m called a racist, I say, “Thank you. Coming from an ignorant pig such as yourself I feel edified.”
That usually sends them into orbit. I refuse to treat ignorant pigs with a vocabulary and discourse that dignifies their comments. They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.
Jill,
You should send a copy of your ‘bio’ to Salon.
It seems they only know you were a nurse….once.
They provided a fuller version of O’Keefe’s bio but though much larger than yours it was incomplete as well.

Speaking of racism. Does anyone know if Bill Clinton ever found a light skinned Negro who didn’t speak with a Negro dialect to fetch his coffee? Obama would be fetching Bill’s coffee if he hadn’t run for president.
Sure would be nice to have a complete list of the pedophile teachers. How come the media doesn’t freak out when teachers sexually abuse students? It would be more fair to look askance at public school teachers than priests considering that both incidence and percent of pedophile teachers is so much higher than priests. Public schools just transfer employees who are accused pedophiles but there is never the media attention to the structural support such pedophiles get from teachers’ unions and school districts. Currently in New York there are unfit teachers who just sit at the district office all day doing nothing because they can’t go back into the classroom but it is more expensive to fire them than to just let them collect a salary for nothing.
Artemis says “pedophile Catholic priests (are there any other kind?)”
See, Artemis, you’ve just destroyed any sort of credibility you could possibly have had.
Let’s say I was a young black woman, and somebody wanted to donate money to help me pay for going to college, the deal being that the money was only for blacks, not for non-blacks, as with the United Negro College Fund. I might well say, “okay.”
Let’s say I was a young black woman and somebody wanted to donate money to help me pay for an abortion, the deal being that the money was only for blacks, not for non-blacks. Same deal – I might well say, “okay.”

What if the money being donated to “help” you, a young black woman, was by a racist who wanted to see fewer black people on this planet? I believe that point was emphasized by O’keefe.
Greetings, Mary, my old friend (I think). : )
Who knows? It’s a hypothetical, and it might make a difference (certainly would be easy to take it personally, etc.), might not.
Or, might say, “Knock yourself out, fool.”
Instead of donating money for an abortion, which is destroying the life of an unborn child, why don’t you help this hypothetical young expectant mother to (a) find a job (b) provide $ for rent assistance (c)a ride to pre natal appt or help fix her car and (d) help find parenting classes.
That’s what you SHOULD do, instead of indirectly having the blood of an unborn child on your hands.
Hello Doug,
Of course I am your old(?) friend and you know I love you dearly.
However, you fail to address my question. Since I am so happy to see you back I will overlook it.
xoxoxoxoxoxoox, Mary
BTW, wasn’t it the DEMOCRATS that tried to prevent the Civil Rights Act from becoming Law in the 1960s? why are they calling US racist?
I wasn’t born until well after this, so I wouldn’t know, but I am pretty sure someone mentioned that here…
Hi Liz,
That was probably me. Democrats did indeed filibuster civil and voting rights legislation in 1964 and 1965. It was necessary for President Johnson to enlist the help of Republicans in passing this legislation.
Former klansman Democrat Robert Byrd, one of the filibustering senators, remains in the US senate to this day.
The KKK was founded as the terrorist arm of the Democrat party and Jim Crow laws were put into place by Democrats. It was a Democrat president, Franklin Roosevelt who put American citizens of color into concentration camps during WW2. FDR would not give his moral backing to anti lynching legislation that was supported by Republicans, and opposed by Democrats.
“So public school teachers molest. At least they’re not saying that they’re conduits to the holy spirit.”
Yes, but the government does not mandate that my children attend Catholic services every Sunday.

arttheeMIA,
Where you been?
Was there a long line to see your therpyst and get the prescriptions refilled?
I would like the see the video as well, if it exists and if it is accurate?
Who knows O’Keefe maybe a racist and an anti-catholic bigot as well.
But you raised the question.
You obviously have an internet connection.
If said video exist, then you find it a bring it to us and we can have an informed discussion.
There’s a video of a fellow who says he smoked some crack, did some lines of coke and performed oral sex on then Illinois State Senator and future U.S. Senator from Illinois and future President of the United States, on Barrack Hussein Obama.
When you produce your video, I will produce mine.

ps:I am not ‘catholic’ and it makes no difference me what a pedophiles day job is, he/she is as reprobate as a George Tiller.
Hi Ken
Great point. If such a video exists as Artemis claims it does, then it is up to Artemis to produce it. So let’s see it. I can’t believe that such an explosive video as this would be so difficult to find.
Any time Artemis.
Why are we talking about race? We are in the post-racial era now that BHO is our second black president. Who is it that keeps bringing us back to race? Maybe for one it was the first black president, Bill Clinton, who chided Ted Kennedy about BHO’s qualifications, suggesting somehow that BHO should be waiting table instead of sitting at the head of the table. Oh yes, let us not forget that the irreverent Jesse Jackson wanted to relieve BHO of a couple of body parts. And here in Chicago our disgraced ex-gov recently declared he was more black than BHO. And then there is Harried Reid who has this thing about negroes. Gee, who is it exactly that keeps going back to race time and again? Why, it seems it is the liberals, pretend reverends, and disgraced ex-presidents and governors and assorted hacks of the Democratic party who keep bringing it up. Just what is it with these people?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the memory. I remember when the song came out.
I love you as dearly as I do Doug,
xoxoxoxxoxoxo, Mary
Oh, gosh, gooly, gee!
I am blushing.
I appreciate you for your intellect and your feminine perspective and your style of feminism!
Respect, gratitude, honor, etc.
I love you too…….in the purely plutonic sense.
I like your politics as well.

Hey Artimis,
I’m 49 years old, and have been a very involved Roman Catholic my entire life. I’ve personally worked with hundreds of Catholic priests over the years and never once met one who was a pedophile. But the U.S. Department of Education has published a study indicating that 9% 0f US students are the targets of inappropriate teacher sexual misconduct at some point in public schools.
The study was done by Professor Charol Shakeshaft of Hofstra University. That 9% equates to roughly 470,000 students per year in our schools. In a U.S. Department of justice review of all priest personnel files going back over 50 years they came up with 11,000 allegations in total-and those were just allegations, not proven cases.
Are you outraged at the conspiracy of silence over the abuse of children in our schools by teachers?
In seven years of working with homeless teens in Times Square NY, most of whom were sexually abused, not one ever claimed it was by a priest, but rather a family member or mother’s boyfriend.
You are a loathsome ignoramus, a truly disgusting creature who needs to build herself up at the expense of others. Don’t come here and think you can get away with maligning my clergy, over 97% of whom have been found to live their vows with honor and integrity.
Obviously that’s more than can be said for you. Why not repent and reclaim your dignity? Or have you not yet had enough rolling around in the sewer of your own making?
However, you fail to address my question. Since I am so happy to see you back I will overlook it.
Ha! Thank you, Mary. However, I do think I answered it.
What if the money being donated to”help” you, a young black woman, was by a racist who wanted to see fewer black people on this planet? I believe that point was emphasized by O’keefe.
We don’t know what the individual will think. Some would be offended to the point that they wouldn’t want anything from that person.
Others would take it personally, but allow the person to pay, thus my “knock yourself out, fool” comment.
And still others would not want to pay/not be able to pay, and not care who else paid.
We can agree that there is racism in the world, but in no way does it necessarily have anything to do with a given woman with an unwanted pregnancy, or with a wanted one, for that matter.
Like how she turned “I think the less black people the better” into “helping an AA woman in need” without batting an eye
Doug!!!!! Eeeek! How are you???
My Doug, my friend!!
I have missed you!
Doug, Doug, Doug, hi, hi, hi! I’ve missed you and your albeit wayward arguments! :)
Well Doug, 12:23am
The individual probably wouldn’t know but the people using the “donated” money to abort her certainly would. The “donor” was assured his money would go to the designated recipient.
One has to wonder how that might affect the woman’s decision. I guess all they could do is tell her and see what her reaction is.
Thank you Ken,
Of course I love you and Doug equally and in a purely platonic sense. I’m torn between you and your whimsical and informative posts and enjoying my jousts with Doug and his often comical pictorials. Also, Doug used to look like a young James Cagney. You can see how difficult it would be for a girl to choose so I can only love you both dearly and keep you both in my life.
I’m sure you and Doug will understand.
Hey Erin, Carla, Jill, and all.
Been good, just got done wrestling Ken for Mary’s favors :: cough cough :: I mean beating a couple hundred thousand people in an internet browser game.
Erin, my wife is still teaching high school and we’ve moved from Newnan to Atlanta itself. Life in the big city.
Doug 11:28am
Cough, cough? Well, see if I ever tell you again that you look like a young James Cagney :)))
With all the pretty young things on this blog, you and Ken have quite a selection.
I hope you and your wife are happy in the new city and I wish you both the best.

Doug,
There is no shame in getting beat by a better man.
I doff my hat to you in honor.
Perhaps another day will result in a different outcome, but today is your day.
Bask in your hard fought and well earned victory.
Tally ho!

Oh my goodness Doug,
Here I thought you were gagging at the thought of winning my favor! :)))
It’s a small thing, but this sentence: “The UCLA pro-life student group LifeAction.org had O’Keefe call several PPs around the country…”
has two factual errors in it.
