WTF? IRS Grants Nonprofit Status To James O'Keefe's 'Project Veritas'

An organization founded by conservative filmmaker and self-proclaimed "muckraking journalist" James O'Keefe has been granted nonprofit status by the IRS.

O'Keefe told The Chronicle of Philanthropy that he's glad he can begin to garner tax-deductible donations for his organization:

"We're pleased that Project Veritas' nonprofit status has been approved. Our nonpartisan mission of exposing corruption while training new, investigative journalists can now be fully supported by donors who require a tax-exemption for their generous contributions."
On its website, Project Veritas describes itself as bringing "transparency into the back-room deals" by using investigative journalism tactics.

Unbelievable!! This needs to be re-examined!

uh, yeaahhhh. :eyes:

Oh, I just LOVE the idea of RICH PEOPLE paying LESS taxes by paying this guy to do their POLITICAL work for them...

Should O'Keefe's organization have been denied because WE don't like him? He will, of course, fuck it all up in the long run and either lose that status or end up in jail.

opposes. It's not just a matter of thinking he is an asshole (which, of course, he is).
