NPR is O'Keefe's next target
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/03/08/stung-npr-execs...
A video made surreptitiously by a conservative sting artist shows phony, would-be Muslim donors meeting with two NPR fundraisers who are caught on the tape making candid, awkward comments about the Republican Party -- and also talking bluntly about the ouster of commentator Juan Williams.
Slate's David Weigel posted the video and a report on the incident. The sting operation, produced by conservative activist James O'Keefe, shows NPR fundraisers Ron Schiller (who has since left NPR) and Betsy Liley at lunch with two men masquerading as wealthy Muslim donors. That the NPR people appear to tell the supposed contributors what they want to hear is not an unusual approach for fundraisers.
But against the backdrop of a possible cut off of NPR funding proposed by the GOP-controlled U.S. House, Schiller can be heard saying that "very little of our funding comes from the government." That is correct. Then, talking about the GOP, he adds: "The current Republican Party, particularly the tea party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian -- and I wouldn't even call it Christian." In answer to a leading question about the tea party movement, he adds, "Basically, they believe in white, middle America, gun toting -- it's pretty scary. They're seriously racist..."

NPR, in a statement, said: "The fraudulent organization represented in the video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept. We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for. Mr. Schiller announced last week he is leaving NPR for another job."

12. So, what's the problem? Everything said about Republicans
and Teabaggers is the truth from what I am reading. NPR should STAND BY THOSE comments and in fact, they should go further by doing an expose on these thugs, and who is behind the Republican/Teabaggers.
As for Muslim donors, is there something wrong with a Muslim donating money in this country?
NPR should ATTACK this vile felon for his bigotry for which there is ample evidence and do a separate article on his many crimes.
But most of all, they should start doing some investigative journalism and FIND OUT WHO IS FUNDING this POS. He will NOT reveal that. Put him on the spot, time to conduct some stings on this criminal element that is totally destroying this country.
NO ONE should ever apologize when the perpetrators turn out to be these criminals.
Didn't this monster just get sued by Shirley Sherrod?
NPR, do an article on this case and the reasons WHY he is being sued.
Stop with the apologies. These people need to be ATTACKED and constantly exposed each time they try something like this until they finally become scared out of their wits to try it again.
I thought this creep was on probation and that he had violated that probation when he tried to entrap a female reporter with his moronic sex toys etc.
ENOUGH of this creep! So sick of how the media gives even a modicum of legitimacy to anything emanating from the sewer this jerk lives in.

And the difference between this incident and calling Governor Walker of Wisconsin and pretending to be a Koch brother is...????? Oh yeah, the biggest difference is that Walker didn't say anything stupid like this wanker from NPR.

James O'Keefe gave them the rope. They hung themselves.

Poor babies! Their leaders are bein' exposed to be just like Beck has said, tryin' to educate the public on a daily basis. Must suck to be them! Truth hurts, don't it, DUmbass?

No mention of the "zionists control the media" Schiller and Lily were playing along with.
No mention agreeing with the spread of sharia.
No mention of political bias on the taxpayer dime.

O'Keefe is a national treasure. His destruction of the corrupt racist acorn organization was worth at least 7 HOR seats and 2 senate ones.
Stay safe James. The violent left has been provoked with the truth of their intentions.

Hugabear, are you suggesting that there is something wrong, disgraceful, and shameful about homosexuality? Where is the celebration of diversity and tolerance? As for the wine, if it feels good, do it! Right?

Three things with which DU has no problem at all, why would they say there was anything wrong with them?
