Adam Shriver, in the previously mentioned whiny blog post, claims that since we didn't explicitly deny O'Keefe's involvement in this project, he must be involved. Because we don't have a triplicate-stamped, notarized copy from O'Keefe denying his involvement, clearly he's involved.
For whatever reason, James O'Keefe makes the left in this country irrationally mad. During a time of triumph, Obama's 2008 election, O'Keefe brought the scandal and disgust of left-wing organizing into the light. For that, he will never be forgiven. For that, they will look at every flipcam and wonder if O'Keefe's fingerprints are on it.
Yes, Adam Shriver, you have figured us all out. Adam Shriver, from your laptop in Starbucks, you have uncovered video Watergate, and single-handedly brought down the Breitbart media empire by making false accusations that James O'Keefe is running every center-right video project.
James O'Keefe is our secret father-guide who steers our projects and decides our content. We learn our tactics from him, we learn how to live from him. We have all internalized his lengthy biography, and constantly quote him to one another. James is our guiding light, our father-leader. He is what Obama and Noam Chomsky are to you, all in one.
Everything we do, we owe to James, and everything you say is correct. We are all pregnant with the children of O'Keefe, waiting to birth his video children and unleash them upon Philosophy adjuncts like yourself.
In a way, we are all James O'Keefe. In a way, none of us are James O'Keefe.

Adam Shriver: Often Wrong but Never in Doubt
Shriver whines and bemoans the fact that we just won't lay down and let him lie lie lie.
Shriver, the self-appointed media political officer/commissar of south St. Louis, says we were "busted" by Crooks and Liars and Media Matters, two organizations heavy on spin and light on substance.
Then the tired meme of "selective editing" came back up, even though we released the transcript and, surprise surprise, it doesn't help Judy, Don or Adam. Here's the old article for reference:
http://bigjournalism.com/insurgentvisuals/2011/05/05/u-of-missouri-epic-fail-no-amount-of-context-can-defend-judy-ancel/
But here's Shriver's pathetic point: distract and deflect from what Judy Ancel and Don Giljum said:
EVEN JUDY DOESN'T LIE AS MUCH AS SHRIVER, she tries to say that her quotes were "pedagogical explanations" meaning that she was just challenging the students with ironic, contrary viewpoints. But she was approvingly citing to a documentary where violence had been used to get political results.
Adam Shriver is a committed leftist, he's made himself a public figure in the organizing for left-wing causes around St. Louis, and sees this as his personal jihad against the right. To that end, he's willing to lie, obfuscate and twist words, meaning and create distractions to avoid the obvious: these students were being indoctrinated into radical union organizing which made violence casual and lighthearted in order to radicalize them to do anything for the cause.
Judy and Don were never vindicated, but the left-wing noise machine was able to overwhelm the Breitbart team so that the story died the death of a thousand distractions. It's impressive how well they circled the wagons, but it's disgusting the extent to which they'll lie in order to advance their agenda.
The story stands for itself, the video speaks for itself, and the words were never out of context nor were they selectively edited.
Adam Shriver is a damn shrill. We hope Judy and Don at least bought him a beer for all his propagandizing.

1. "Violence is a [political] tactic, to be used when appropriate." - JudyIn what context are these comments ok?
2. "When you have a crisis, you have an opportunity to introduce a shock—which is a massive change. Generally, if you’re following the neo-liberal playbook, it’s one that shifts power dramatically." - Judy
3. I instigated a riot "where several police cars were burned." - Don
