Who is it again that's supposed to be the criminal?

James O'Keefe, one of the conservative supremacists responsible for the anti-ACORN propaganda videos that were supposed to demonstrate how super duper evil and nefarious ACORN is, has been arrested.
History repeats itself today as the FBI arrests four people attempting to bug the district office of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA). David Hammer of The Times-Picayune is reporting that the the right-wing "gotcha" man, James O'Keefe, who orchestrated the effort to discredit ACORN via spliced video footage last year, is one of those who were arrested in the plot against a sitting U.S. Senator who is up for election later this year.

The FBI believes O'Keefe aided and abetted Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, "who dressed up as employees of a telephone company and attempted to interfere with the office's telephone system," thus entering federal property under false pretenses, at a minimum. O'Keefe was purportedly present for the attempting bugging and claimed to be waiting for someone.

After first distancing themselves from O'Keefe, the Republicans will tentatively and cautiously start building up his defense by invoking ACORN, Mao, and take on an 'aw schucks' he's just trying to stop the evil Socialist Libs and their destruction of America. O'Keefe will become a true patriot

Until...

He gets in the icky kind of trouble like Oath Keeper Charles Dyer has gotten into...
