Right-wing activists convicted in phone tampering scandal

Nobody with any gray matter gave a shit what right-wing activist James O'Keefe thinks, after his ACORN video was debunked as a hoax.

Now O'Keefe - along with Stan Dai, Joseph Basel, and Robert Flanagan - have been convicted in a separate incident of entering federal property under false pretenses. The charges stem from their attempt to illegally bug Sen. Mary Landrieu's phone.

O'Keefe was sentenced to 3 years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and a $1,500 fine. The other 3 sorryasses each got 2 years of probation, 75 hours of community service, and a $1,500 fine.

The fact that they won't go to prison is proof that being able to afford good lawyers will get you out of a lot of trouble. These clods should be serving years behind bars.

Of course, the media still hasn't disavowed O'Keefe, despite him being convicted.
