Early in his career, O'Keefe got ACORN shut the fuck down. Of course, the dems just brought it back, albeit with a new name. Generally speaking, I think what Veritas does is necessary. If what they're doing doesn't bear fruit, it's more a reflection of government dysfunction and dereliction of duty than it is Veritas' "ineffectiveness". But exposing corruption MUST be done in order to have positive change, whether peacefully or otherwise, because people need to know what's happening in order to become pissed off and do anything about it.
