A National Public Radio (NPR) reporter has resigned after a hateful voice mail message she left for a conservative group was made public.
Rachel Buchman worked for WHYY in Philadelphia, an NPR affiliate, when she called the offices of the Web site laptoplobbyist.com to express her outrage over an e-mail the group sent to her opposing special rights for homosexuals.
"You're evil, horrible people. You're awful people," she said, identifying herself only as "Rachel." "You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn."
Chris Carmouche, publisher of laptoplobbyist.com, said he's accustomed to liberals being offended by his group's moral stands—but added that Buchman's message was over the top.
"We want people to know that this is not an isolated incident," he said. "People have to realize there's not just a media bias, but in many cases there is a media hatred, toward anything conservative, Christian or traditional."
After Carmouche posted a recording of Buchman's message on his Web site, she apologized for "a personal matter that was turned into a public issue."
"Rather than call my journalistic integrity into question," she said. "I decided to resign for personal reasons."
Carmouche said it's too late for her professional reputation to be salvaged.
"Conservatives will no longer tolerate the reporting of liberal vitriol as fact," he told The Washington Times. "We will not tolerate the Dan Rathers of the world spoon-feeding the public liberal propaganda. And we will call the 'old media' to account when they make their biases and bigotries obvious and deviate from commonly acceptable standards of journalism."
Absolutely excellent...
When we put real conservatives in office.
You have to ask yourself what would cause a presumably intelligent woman to be so angry that she would blame an entire group of people, the Christians, for her ills. What could make a person wish upon Christians the worst of all possible evils? Just speculating here, but something has gone on in her life that has caused a great deal of unresolved anger. I know when I feel that angry, it is time to look inward, and usually the problem is me.
I hope this poor soul will look inword and find peace.
I had the same tirade when 911 happened but it wasn't against a fellow American.
She's beserk!
I had actually suggested in jest to invest in pharmaceutical companies because sales of anti-anxiety and anti-depressant pills would go through the roof after a Bush victory. It appears that such sales really did go through the roof. 
Oh, then it will never happen.
Yeah, we may put a few in here and there, but not nearly enough to actually change much of anything. The people wouldn't stand for it anyway, living on OPM (Other People's Money) is addictive you know.
Ping
I think someone else said that first. Nero wasn't it? Only he actually made it happen, this NPR slug only wants to make it happen.
Did WILM and CBS keep her on?
Do we need to FReep them to say that she doesn't seem like she'd make a fair reporter?
Wow... You bring the Holy Water, and I'll get the rosary.
A friend of mine, who's very liberal, basically said that all conservative Christians are evil.
I smiled, and said, "Hi... I am a conservative Christian... wanna become evil?"
He laughed at his own words.

Ya Think????
Twnety-five bucks American says she's employed in the MSM within 90 days.
Same pointy-headed bozo who jammed through MFN/PNTR for Red China, no?
There's little doubt that his infidelity problem extends to principles as well as wives.
