James O'Keefe from Project Veritas (PV) has added another video to his university collection.
Last week he posted a video from Cornell University where we see Assistant Dean Joseph Scaffido sanction a pro-ISIS club. This new one is far more on point. Whereas the journalist in the last one never actually mentions the name Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or the acronym ISIS, this PV journalist does both. Numerous times.
At Florida's Barry University- a private Catholic university in Miami Shores- the young female journalist speaks to four different Barry University officials, all of whom tell her that forming an "ISIS" club would be perfectly fine. As long as she doesn't use the name ISIS, since "technically our country is at war with ISIS."
No excuse this time.
They should have told the young girl- hell no! Instead they signed off on the application for the club.
The officials:
Derek Bley- Coordinator for Leadership Development and Student Organizations
Daisy Santiago- International and Multicultural Programs Coordinator
Frederique Frage- Associate Director of International and Multicultural Programs
Associate Professor of Communications Pawena Sirimangkala, Honors Program

Cornell University Dean Says It's Okay To Start An ISIS Club On Campus
So, James O'Keefe from Project Veritas just posted his latest video. An incognito journalist (hidden camera, and all) pretending to be a Moroccan student asks the Assistant Dean at Cornell University, Joseph Scaffido, if it would be okay to create a pro-Islamic State of Iraq and Syria club, and whether he could also get funding to bring a "freedom fighter" over to Cornell for a "training camp", and funding to send care packages to Islamic State and Hamas.
Scaffido is either monumentally ignorant or an ISIS sympathizer, though it's quite obvious it's the former. The journalist only refers to ISIS as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, so perhaps he was just flummoxed, and perhaps he didn't want to be considered a racist since he believed he was talking to a Moroccan (thank you CAIR), or perhaps he's just a liberal tool. Either way it's pretty darn scary that Scaffido is the assistant head of a private Ivy League school that also happens to get some taxpayer funding.
An editorial for the Ithaca Voice rips O'Keefe for being "wildly misleading" and "dumb."

We could point out the false and misleading narration, the interviewer’s lack of explicit reference to “ISIS,” the bizarre video editing. We could point out that the person being interviewed clearly doesn’t understand what he’s being asked, or that he’s merely doing his job as a university official.It's quite obvious who the dumb one is.
But let’s go to the more fundamental question: Do even the people who made the video really believe that a Cornell assistant dean supports a student group backing ISIS? And if the videographers do believe this, why wouldn’t they ask the dean this question? Why pretend to ask the Cornell official about a “humanitarian group” helping victims in Syria and Iraq if they want to learn Cornell’s stance on the group universally known as “ISIS?”
We know the answer: Because the interviewer and O’Keefe are more interested in getting a video they can use to grab attention than in actually learning what’s happening on university campuses.
President David Skorton released a statement Wednesday pretty much saying as much, confirming what was already readily apparent to the neutral-minded observer:
“It is shameful that any individual would pose as a student facing racial discrimination at another university, ask leading questions on hidden camera about Cornell’s tolerance for differing viewpoints and backgrounds, and then conveniently splice together the resulting footage to smear our assistant dean and our University,” Skorton said.
“After speaking with Assistant Dean (Joe) Scaffido, I am convinced that he was not aware of what he was being asked.

Anti-Gun Journalists Refuse "This Home Proudly Gun Free" Yard Signs- Project Veritas Video
James O'Keefe's Project Veritas just posted a brilliant new video about gun control hypocrisy.
A group of actors posing as members of fictitious "Citizens Against Senseless Violence" approach a slew of journalists and politicians asking them to place yard signs that say: This Home Is Proudly Gun Free. They even show up at some of the homes of the The Journal News idiots who posted the names and addresses (along with an interactive map) of legal gun owners in several New York counties. Ironically, most of them now have security guards after a pissed off blogger posted their names and addresses in retaliation.
Obviously, not one person requested a sign because that would be like posting a "rob me" sign in their yard, which is basically what The Journal News did to all the citizens living in those counties.
The beginning of O'Keefe's video is a parody of this anti-gun, celebrity-filled "We Are Better Than This" YouTube video.

Re-elect Obama Campaign Staffers Encourage Voter Fraud- Video
The Republicans are always being condemned for voter fraud, but watch this James O'Keefe Project Veritas video and see how the DNC encourages some undercover reporters to vote twice.
Stephanie Caballero, the woman at the beginning of the video who was the field director in the Houston office of Organizing for America, has since been fired.
Naughty, naughty.
Sign a letter to Eric Holder to stop voter fraud.
