I'm not sure I'm familiar with this org, what did they do? From the article I was able to gather that they're some kind of conservative activists, but I'm curious about what they do

They do little covert missions recording the organizations they consider to be political enemies, push employees to say things that appear bad, and release selectively edited videos that appear damning but end up being nothing much of substance.

Wow, imagine being the PV morons, surprised that not all journalists are as stupid as you are.

How could the guy who came up with the dildo boat not be one of history's greatest reporters?

This article came out the DAY before the "Because of the implication" meme episode. Fucking life and art man, I don't even have a joke, James O'Keefe is a special kind of douchebag.

They covertly recorded conversations they had with employees of charities and corporations they were opposed to. Oftentimes the person recording would ingratiate themselves at a bar or date and any jokes, deprecating humor, or mistakes would be taken at face value. Somebody making shit up on a date would then be used as evidence against their enemy. Certainly there may have been small nuggets of truth buried under the shit, but they were massive scumbags.

This is the group that made the anti-abortion "documentary" filled with lies, and heavily edited and out of context footage a few years back.
