As long as you hold Michael Moore to the same standard.

I know you're trying to be dismissive with your glib comment but let me tell you: I do hold him to the same standard and I find him to be a jackass.

That doesn't change the fact that James O'Keefe is a convicted criminal (attempted to wiretap Sen. Mary Landrieu's office).

It also doesn't change the fact that he heavily edited the ACORN video to skew the story, nor that they were humoring him and reported his nonsense to the police. Conservatives wanted to believe his lies so they did.

O'Keefe has zero credibility.

Glib maybe, but I'm really glad to hear there are people who are equally discerning of Moore. I know plenty of people who aren't.
Why did the unethical actions of one person validate those of another?
They didn't.
