The FBI in New Orleans has arrested James O'Keefe, 25, the amateur filmmaker whose film is the basis of the scandal that decimated ACORN last year. O'Keefe and three others allegedly attempted to tamper with Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu's phones, a felony, reports Southern Political Report, gaining entry disguised as telephone repair men.
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations, is a non-profit, grassroots organization working for social and economic justice for low- and moderate-income families. Last year, O'Keefe's "undercover" video, in which he posed as a pimp, created a nationwide scandal about the organization.
