Just more of the same blather from this witch. I post it only to show Krauthammer's statement - which made me laugh.

The more I see and read his work, the more I like him.

[Joe Brower]

The more I see and read his work, the more I like him.

I agree. In past days, Krauthammer used to be more liberal in his mindset, but I get the impression he's become more conservative with time.

[Monti Cello]

The haughtiness of that woman is vile.

This account is very much in her style of casual dismissiveness with high-pitched faux laughter and a condescending wag of the gullet.

Why is it the wife of the governor of Maryland has to apologize publicly for saying she would like to shoot Brittany Spears, but Nina doesn't have to apologize at all? For all we know, the governer's wife wasn't even going to shoot to kill, just cause some pain.

What is everybody making such a big deal of? She can say what she wants and it not like NPR isn't a private enterprise that gets no assistance from the taxpayer. I mean if that's what they want to put on NPR, market forces will take care of the situation.

So let me understand, Nina is mad at the good general for making a true statement about the radical islamists, but it is ok, to wish Aids on Helms and or his children and a hit piece on the general........Hmm, makes sense, from a liberal point of view that is.
So where is the outrage over Nina ? Why can't we bring this crap before the public? Oh yea, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, they probably agree with her.......wow!

Shortly after the 2000 election, I was in a New Age bookstore, and overheard the owner say something like, "God must have let this [Bush's win] happen in order to make us [New Agers] stronger in the future." In other word's, Bush's election was kind of a Divine chastisement or purification for the forces of good, teaching them that next time they need to be tougher and better organized. So it isn't just fundamentalist Christians who apply cosmic significance to political events.

"Not me, I think he ought to be worried about what’s going on in the Good Lord’s mind, because if there is retributive justice, he’ll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."

Really? I wonder how many people Jesse Helms infected with AIDS. I'll wager it's fewer than the number of girls Teddy Kennedy has drowned.

[1Old Pro]

Nina needs an enema.

[Republicus2001]

Good lord! and she calls herself a public official? Has she been drug and alcohol tested recently?

[Paul Atreides]

Totenberg replied: "Not me, I think he ought to be worried about what’s going on in the Good Lord’s mind, because if there is retributive justice, he’ll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."

So, Ms. Totenberg doesn't like anyone in the Bush Administration invoking God, and especially Jesus, yet she is free to invoke it when wishing death on Jesse Helms or his family. Nice to see liberal compassion at work.

NPR BIAS PING!

Thanks for this catch, Reagan Disciple!

[theDentist]

Sounds like hate speech to me.

[Consort]

Didn't Nina commit plagiary a few years back like Joe Biden?

[Atlas Sneezed]

I used to be a liberal, and had loyally listened to NPR since a child in the 70s.

I started become conservative, and other things were influencing my change, but still listened to NPR on occasion.

Then, I heard Nina "report" about the Clinton sex abuse litigation. You may recall how there was a big issue with Clinton's lawyer telling a judge during a videotaped testimony with respect to the meaning of "sex" that there was no "way, shape, or form" any sex with Monica. The key issue was Clinton's attention to this false statement being made on his behalf.

Having already seen the video of Clinton with the lawyer's words on the soundtrack, I would have unbiasedly reported that Clinton appeared on tape, showing his head and upper torso. He appeared fully alert, and was engaged in no apparent other activity such as reading or talking. He looked down and toward his left without unusual physical or eye movements.

Nina, on the other hand reported (quoting from my recollection) that he appeared "distracted" during the exchange, and may not have heard what was said.

I never listened to NPR again.

[newgeezer]

NPR. Your tax dollars at work.

[Wacka]

Wasn't she involved in the smearing of Clarence Thomas at his SCOTUS hearing?

[Skooz]

Believe it or not, Totenburg is a fountain of love compared to the hateful witch, NPR's Margo Adler.

Charles Krauthammer, syndicated columnist, joked: “It was 5,000 yentas in Palm Beach who couldn’t read the ballot. If that was not an act of providence, nothing is.”

LOL Love Krauthammer!
