NPR = No Propping Required
« on: March 08, 2011, 12:58:19 PM »
When the story about WI Gov. Walker talking with a liberal activist broke many conservatives wanted to drop a bag of hammers on the activist for illegal wiretapping. I was against it because I believe public officials have no reasonable expectation of privacy in matters not directly relating to security.

My position on that has been vindicated:

Quote
Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn is leading the GOP effort in the House to defund National Public Radio (and, in a separate bill, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting).  I spoke with him a short time ago about the sting video released by conservative activist James O'Keefe in which an NPR executive, thinking he was in a private conversation, spoke critically of the Tea Party, Republicans, conservatives in general, and also declared that, "It is clear that we would be better off in the long run without federal funding."

"I am amazed at the condescension and arrogance that we saw in the sting video," Lamborn told me.  "They seem to be viewing themselves as elites living in an ivory tower, and they are obviously out of touch with ordinary Americans."

The video has already become part of the debate currently raging on Capitol Hill about funding for NPR.  "The real crux of the video was when the guy [NPR executive Ron Schiller] admitted that they could survive and would even be better off without federal funding," says Lamborn.  "That's what I'm hoping happens."

Keep an eye peeled, I'm sure the DUmp will be--shall we say--less than consistent with this revelation in contrast with their poo-flinging vis-a-vis the Walker recording.

Turn off the tap, then...

Should be one of the easiest budget slashes now, right?  ::)

Well, the DUmp is starting to respond:

Total lies and re-edit makes NPR look bad.
Okeefe should be in jail already
Walker did the same thing
No crime was committed

15. Another fraudulent Republican hit-job used to crush liberals
 How can so many Democrats/liberals be so cowardly as to resign whenever Republican frat-boys give a hint that there could be a fight. Democrats/liberals make it so easy for these spoiled rich-boy Republicans. All the Republicans have to do is prove that human beings aren't perfect and then the Democrats run for the hills. C'mon you guys! Democrats are supposed to the tough working class and the intellectual powerhouses, not a bunch of wet noodles who can't recognize philosophical trickery.

Fight back you pacified sheep!

Of course the tea parties are racists who's christian tradition has been exploited by the Republican party. No one should have to be forced to suppress the truth about the fraudulent corporate Republicans.

I'm sick and tired of liberals surrendering whenever Republicans threaten to fight!

Brad Friedman over at bradblog.com has been covering that fraud James O'Thief for a while now: http://www.bradblog.com / Look for all his stuff involving "ACORN". *******it will somebody stand up and fight these shills?
