Get it done once and for all.......

Geter dun, now that Newt isn’t there to pull their fat out of the fire.

Rep. Lanborn,
My suggestion... congressional hearings to grill NPR administrators.

[cookcounty]

Oh, so it is more than 1% of the NPR income! Note to self: Government functionaries are usually liars.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Sub-Driver.

Yo NPR, it’s time to grow up. Stop suckling from the tax payers’ teat and go out out and earn a living on your own.

Eliminate the CPB.

Kudos for Lamborn and I hope he succeeds. I would also like to see them lose their tax-free status. THAT is overdue, as well.

[P-Marlowe]

If speech is taxpayer funded, it is not free! If I am forced to pay for it, it cannot be free speech!

Now, now, we must strive for a tolerant tone, as follows:

National Public Radio is saying Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., who is leading a Republican forward motion to decrease public funding to the broadcaster, of trying to soften free speech, a move that puts the harried network under an umbrella as it covers itself from its decision to let go Fox News contributor Juan Williams.

Lamborn immediately talked back, saying the whole point of not funding NPR is to enhance teachable moments and viewpoints.

[Tzimisce]

It’s time for the liberal elitists over at NPR to stop living off the government trough and get real jobs.

Aren’t they supposed to be non-political anyway? They keep telling us they are anyway....

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Imagine conservatives had a federally funded right-leaning radio network called “Patriot Radio Network” or something... could you imagine the anger, vitriol and rage from the left?

[paudio]

The real question here is whether there are enough Congressmen and Congresswomen to defund NPR.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., who is leading a Republican charge to cut public funding to the broadcaster, of trying to stifle free speech

GOVERNMENT speech is NOT "FREE" speech, and "public" funding is INVOLUNTARY funding, morons.

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." – Thomas Jefferson, 1779

Right after the Williams firing NPR was playing down the fact they received taxpayer dollars saying it only amounted to a minuscule amount of their annual budget.

Yet I knew they would squeal like stuck pigs if ever their funding came to a vote. Liars all.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

NPR is not free speech.

It’s left-wing propaganda paid for by extorting money from the public.

[CPT Clay]

Cut their funding already!!!
