>>" Gettin' Sad James O'Keefe's antics have descended into self-parody. James O'Keefe's Latest 'Terrorist' Medicaid Sting Goes After Woman For Following Law "<< tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com Breitbart's "sting" source has really gone off the deep end with this latest doctored video..... OHMIGOSH >>"Stop me if you've heard this one. A man goes into a public assistance office in Charleston, South Carolina in a kilt, tells them he's a member of the Irish Republican Army and asks for help for 25 fellow Irishmen in a hospital who need Medicaid. A government employee follows the rules and explains the process for filling out a Medicaid paperwork and the qualifications they'd need to meet. She informs them that a federal law intended to protect patient privacy requires her not to divulge any information he's told her. So what happens next? James O'Keefe's Project Veritas releases a deceptively edited video that makes the woman look like a terrorist sympathizer, though it isn't even clear if she knows the background of the IRA.

As it turns out, that's what she's supposed to do under the law. MORE "<<
