How wonderful that O’Keefe is using the left’s own words against them!

Are Vivian Schiller and Ron Schiller related

You must have missed the last sentence in the excerpt:

Ron Schiller is not related to Vivian Schiller.

Are Vivian Schiller and Ron Schiller related or is this a coincidence?

Not related (though I suspect someone at NPR now thinks that anyone named Schiller is a PR liability)

And thus Juan wins the war due to unlikely ally James O’Keefe.

I don't believe for a minute that the views expressed by Ron Schiller weren't shared by the whole organization.

No question about it. Schiller wouldn't have been so glib with his comments in front of another NPR employee, if he didn't feel quite comfortable that she held the same views (and it's obvious she did, from her own comments).

It doesn’t need new leadership or a full cleansing. It simply needs to be defunded by the Federal government.

I can’t help but flash back to the John Belushi ‘WPLO Radio’ jingle SNL routine. I tried looking for it on You Tube so I could post the link, but I guess nobody else found it as memorable as I did.

now that the left has eaten one of their own, they will say it is safe to get federal funding.

I say now it is even MORE important to pull tax dollars.

Has anyone noticed that a 27 year-old film-maker is doing more to root out corruption, deceipt, and the waste of taxpayer money than ANY government official?

The speed by which Vivian was executed tells me the Board of Directors knows a lot more than they are willing to divulge.

Like, did Vivian get stung? Or did Vivian engage in some sort of coverup?

Something does not pass the smell test here.

Yes I have noticed O’Keefe doing more than so-called conservative Republican politicians to stop funding leftist organizations.

We need to send O’Keefe’s work to Republicans and start asking them when they are going to go to work.

Alan Colmes was just on Fox with Martha discussing this incident. He smeared O’Keefe implying that his video was somewhat invalid because he’s conservative.

Colmes is such a nebbish.

NPR said it was "appalled" by Ron Schiller's comments. Schiller had already told NPR before the video was shot that he was resigning as president of its fundraising arm and a senior vice president for development. He said in a statement Tuesday night that his resignation would be effective immediately.”

NPR Announcer: Ronald Schiller told them the “end of last week” that he was leaving the company to take a new job. Last night his resignation became effective immediately.” At end of AUDIO: Larry Abramson, reporting on 'Morning Edition'

SO is Ronald Schiller lying or is NPR lying about when they knew Ronald Schiller was leaving for save haven at the Aspen Institute (George Soro funded)?

March 9, 2011; 12:14 AM/Washington Post: “ NPR said his planned departure was unrelated to the video, which was shot Feb. 22.

Or any “investigative journalist” from a well funded MSM outlet?
