Arrested ACORN stinger had tweeted that something ‘heavy’ was afoot
The conservative activist charged with trying to tamper with the office phone of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana apparently foreshadowed in a Twitter posting last month that a big project was in the works, The Washington Post reports.
James O’Keefe, 25,  garnered widespread attention in a sting operation against the liberal activist group ACORN by posing as a pimp and secretly videotaping conversations with ACORN staffers.
 O’Keefe  referred to that operation in this Tweet at Twitter.com/jamesokeefeIII on Dec. 21:
 2008: Planned Parenthood VPs fired 2009: ACORN defunded 2010: Get ready cuz this is about to get heavy
O’Keefe, and three companions, were arrested in Landrieu’s New Orleans office in an operation that involved impersonating telephone repairmen.
NBC’s Pete Williams, quoting a law enforcement official, reports that the four apparently wanted to see how Landrieu’s local office staff would respond if the phones were inoperative.
