Whoops! Sucks to be NPR. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of people.
The Court held in Sullivan that even a false statement is protected by the First Amendment unless it is a “calculated falsehood.” http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/Press/overview.aspx
That darn federal bureaucracy has some interesting twists at times.....
This must be left-over cold war stuff. No way would the intent today to keep foreign interests from meddling and intimidating US entities, ya think?
Like I said, this is JOB NUMBER ONE from day one of the New Republican Congress in 2011, January. New Congressional Committees need to subpoena NPR officials, and get internal documents over this firing, contact with CAIR; there could in fact be federal law violations here, precisely FARA and others. This also came to mind while I was on the packed Tokyo subway yesterday. (Lot of time to think in those situations, not much else to do). ;-)
CAIR and Soros: Muslims and Nazis.

The Muslims will push and push as long as they can get away with it.

yeah.... but will Satan (govt) cast out Satan (NPR)?
No wonder “Progressives”,”Liberals” always seem to be unhappy. They live in a world of conflict of their own making.
Hoisted on his own petard.
