THIS IS THE SECOND JAMES O'KEEFE VIDEO! And it is EXPLOSIVE!!!
--
New video released Thursday afternoon indicates National Public Radio intended to accept a $5 million donation from fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust – and that the publicly funded radio network might have helped MEAC make the donation anonymously to protect it from a federal government audit.
When a man posing as Ibrahim Kasaam asked, “It sounded like you were saying NPR would be able to shield us from a government audit, is that correct?” NPR’s senior director of institutional giving, Betsy Liley, responded, “I think that is the case, especially if you are anonymous. I can inquire about that.” According to conservative James O’Keefe, whose Project Veritas organization conducted the NPR sting organization, the man posing as Kasaam made two follow-up phone calls to Liley after their lunch.
Liley said a $5 million donation would amount to about “10 years of support.”
Kasaam follows up by asking: “The fact that NPR is not only a tax-exempt organization, but also receives direct contributions from the government — does that invite some sort of government oversight or government examination of contributions, et cetera?”
Liley answered: “They have audited our programs at times and, I think, as part of that, they can look at our audited financials. If you are concerned in any way about that, that’s one reason you might want to be an anonymous donor. And, we would certainly, if that was your interest, want to shield you from that.”
Liley mentioned a precedent at NPR — in more than $80 million in donations from universities.

There’s always another shoe to drop with O’Keefe.
LOL! Round two.....NPR execs are resigning as fast as they can......give them a break, they are Intellectuals.....
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark...
Too funny. The Washington Post story originally identified “Ibrahim Kasaam” as O’keefe associate “Simon Templar,” until someone must have noticed. They edited the story within ten minutes and took the “Simon Templar’ reference out. Not very saintly of them.
Bias and corruption from their own mouths, but still nothing most of us here didn’t already know. Is this getting any coverage in the MSM? (My house is blacked out from receiving any MSM news sources.)
bttt
Bump! This intellectual speaks about how they can color the news.....for money, apparently $5 million is small money...
O'Keefe deserves a medal for his work. Someone in congress should nominate him for the CMoF.
I heard it was Art Vandelay.
Speaking of “hiding” things, she promised that she’d play hide the salami with him but that he’d have TWO brown paper bags — just in case HERS fell off.
How do you think Obama got so much campaign cash? The left has no morals about hiding cash and it’s sources.
Most of Obama’s campaign cash came from overseas or Union money extorted from taxpayers. I am sick of these crooks.
The internet anonymous donations loop hole must be closed before 2012 heats up.
Trouble always comes in threes so there has to be third shoe sitting in the background.
Prolly. Or maybe “Art Templar.”
Isn’t he an architect? I think he did the new addition to the Guggenheim, and it didn’t take him very long.
My Lord people listen to this.....BTTT!
Bring down the NPR propaganda machine!
