James O’Keefe and the Case of the Purloined Panties

by | 115 Comments

This post is in: 

Nadia Naffe, who worked with James O’Keefe for a while and has filed some sort of harassment claim, is dumping core about their relationship, including an email where she says this:

James, this is not junior high. You need to grow up and be a man. Do not continue to make a fool of yourself by calling to offer me money, as you did on Oct. 24th. I was never with you for the money. I’m not looking for a payoff. Be a man and return my panties and scarf that were in the trunk of your car. Do not keep my undergarments as a trophy or souvenir to show off to your friends. We have been friends for two years, do not have Ryan contact me to discuss our personal and private affairs.

This is all wrapped up in another harassment suit about this incident:

Those documents shed new light on the “CNN Sex Boat Caper” that reportedly featured an attempt to strand then-CNN reporter Abbie Boudreau on a boat full of sex toys and hidden cameras. O’Keefe has maintained that he rejected the pornographic aspects of that plot, but whistleblower Izzy Santa’s allegations belie those denials.

    my fave part of nadia’s blog:

    When you observed me lying in bed, talking on the phone with a male friend, you became noticeably upset. You picked up your penny loafers and stormed out of the room like a 10-year old boy having a tantrum. You called me on the phone moments later demanding to know why I was talking on the phone with someone else in your presence. You were furious.

    Hell hath no fury like a preppy scorned.

    How it is that that douchenozzle, O’Keefe hasn’t had the unholy snot beaten out of him, or at least a Youtubed neck-punching, is a great mystery.

    Quite the piece of work, Mr. O’Keefe is.

    This is just fucked up on so many levels:

    James, I am not a fool. The barn is the same place where you taped intimate moments with Emma, without her knowledge. You are looking for a reason to blame me for what happened that night, so that you can become the victim. Perhaps, you believe by denigrating my personal character and using the same sexually suggestive tactics that are currently being used against Herman Cain, that my reputation will be ruined and so that yours can be spared. But James, the only place your version of the facts has any merit is in your paranoid head.

    First off, can I enter in a fervent plea that the O’Keefe Sex Tape remain forever hidden? Both for the sake of Emma, whoever she might be, and for the good of all humanity. Secondly, ‘sexually suggestive tactics that are currently being used against Herman Cain’? Is she trying to say that Cain was set up or that all of his accusers were lying or what?

However, the fact that I’d so much rather see his ass locked up and no longer roaming free, as well as the not-insignificant “ew” factor of Nadia Naffe’s posts (really, I just ate lunch, geezus) prevent me from laughing at this hot mess as much as I wish I could.

    The owner of a Lake Wylie store says he will likely have to close because he is now in North Carolina, where gas is 30 cents more a gallon and he can’t sell fireworks.

    OT – but it looks like my RWNJ local radio station is ditching Rush for Huckabee. There was just an announcement saying (and I paraphrase) “we at the Talk Station know what you want, and we have listened to your requests, stay tuned for changes to your Talk Station, all will be revealed at NOON on April 16.” Huckabee’s show begins April 9 at 12 noon. If they are not replacing Rush I have no clue what the announcement was about.

    from reading the young woman’s blog entry, it seems that O’Keefe was targeting a journalism professor who had been requesting the IRS forms from O’Keefe’s little project. When she asked why not release the forms, O’Keefe told her that there were “problems” with the forms and he couldn’t release them.

    Any bets that O’Keefe is also a tax cheat?

    More conservatives seeing that their totally not racist free speech is being oppressed.

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A prominent conservative think tank in North Carolina apologized Thursday for a freelance blogger’s decision to post a photo illustration depicting President Barack Obama clad in sexually suggestive clothing and eating from a bucket of fried chicken…
    __
    …The image, which was no longer available on the Meck Deck site but could still be seen on a blog post by WRAL-TV reporter Laura Leslie, is a small and low-resolution depiction of the president’s head crudely pasted onto a body clad in high-heeled boots and other garments suggestive of fetish wear. Between his spread legs is a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
    __
    The image accompanied a post by Servatius titled “Obama Goes Pro Gay Marriage to Get NC on Election Day,” in which she argued that the president had electoral strategy in mind when he criticized the proposed amendment to North Carolina’s constitution that would ban same-sex marriage.
    __
    “I am genuinely sorry my inclusion of the photo has caused controversy for the John Locke Foundation,” Servatius wrote Thursday in an email in response to a question from The Associated Press. “If it has offended anyone, I sincerely apologize. It was meant to illustrate Obama’s southern political strategy, nothing more. An honest reading of the piece itself shows there is nothing offensive in it.”
    __
    Servatius found the image when searching online for an illustration of the president in drag, she said, to underscore her point about the strategy of appealing to young voters on the issue of gay marriage. She said she didn’t think of the picture’s racial implications.
    __
    “I simply don’t think in those terms. Unfortunately some people do,” she wrote. “To me, fried chicken is simply a Southern cuisine.”

    Pffft. Libruls. Always leaping straight to play the race card.

    It’s a picture of Obama in thigh-high high-heeled boots, a bikini bottom/leather thongs and string-tied shirt, all covered in what looks like sequins, sitting on apparently a football gridiron, presenting his ‘nads to the viewer, with a bucket of KFC innocently placed in his general ‘nad area.

    Yeah, it’s clearly indicative merely of a politician’s propensity for election-time appeals to popular issues among youth and Southern cuisine. How anyone could think this issue homophobic or racist is clearly beyond the capacity of your average Doric column to imagine.

    I’m torn. I can’t decide whether I hate them more for their pig-people meanness or their disgusting cowardly dishonesty.

    You forgot the bit where the only reason any of their core beliefs ever get “shown up as roaring failures or moral travesties” is because the Political Left controls almost every lever of power in America and the Liberal Media lies all the time to make Conservatives look bad.

    If everyone else is just cheating, it’s easy to be a Right Winger. You just have to keep on getting the truth out there until the military recognises how right you are and resets everything to Year Zero.

    The thing that really gets me here is there are these creepy right wing twerps running around imagining themselves as great moral crusaders, when in actuality they’re sexually preying on one another, committing financial irregularities and practicing a kind of Keystone Kops incompetent intrigue-ery. And the “noble work” that they’re doing is nothing more than trying to get mainstream professionals like professors and journalists to respond to fabricated assertions in a manner that might expose them as….living human beings who happen to have opinions.

    Seriously, what would be the point of presenting a journalism professor with some kind of made-up story about racial stereotypes, and getting him to comment on it?

    “Here’s an example of Blahblahblah, professor, what do you think of it?”

    “Oh, well, I guess something like that would be pretty awful.”

    Wow. I didn’t think I could feel any compassion for somebody who chose to work with James O’Keefe. But what Nadia Naffe went through is horrible. I sent her a sympathetic note.

  113. 113.

    The Tragically Flip

    She accuses O’Keefe of filming a sexual act with “Emma” without her consent. I (and numerous prosecutors and legal precedents) would call that rape since it nullifies any consent Emma gave which must be assumed to be contingent on *not being fucking filmed.*

    Whether it is true or not, if Ms. Naffe knew or believed this before this incident, and remained friends with O’Keefe, her own ethics also comes into question (as if being friends with O’Keefe for his publicly known deeds isn’t reason enough).

    She also implies O’Keefe drugged her drink:

    But the one thing I regret the most is turning my back to James and not observing him, as he stopped in the kitchen, where my beer was sitting, on his way out the front door.

    Again, no idea if it is true, but if she suspects that, it’s too bad she didn’t get a blood test or something the next day.

    I don’t find her entirely credible, though the idea that O’Keefe is a douchebag who was trying to create some kind of creepy isolation-seduction set up and had a tantrum that the woman wasn’t at all into it is completely credible. I actually wonder if the whole secret video project was just a ploy to spend time with her, it all seems so pointless and ill conceived. Very glad to see how well invested the money given by donors to Project Veritas is.
