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.

Wonder if her bonus depends on the total she drags in
Yes they love lead stories about corrupt Liberals. They are so good at investigating Liberal Graft Corruption and Lies. Without these watchdogs our government would be out of control.

They are like ACORN and Planned Parenthood.
What do you think the stimulus money was for? They already have their money, and their goons ready to go. Soros ain't no fool.
The entire Obama administration is ANTI-AMERICAN and MUST Go!
It is time to DEFUND the federal government!
You mean one more liberal/criminal organization?
>After the midterm blowout victory, I would hardened and cynical would NOT be our attitude. Because that’s a lousy attitude.<
True enough. But everyday now there are so many new unbelievably outrageous actions done by people from 1600 on down. At first, the audacity of it all is just staggering, but later it’s just another day in Obama’s America.
All I’m saying is some of us may be conditioned to it. That doesn’t mean there’s a defeatist attitude or anything like that. It only means that it is no longer as shocking to us. We’re not happy about it, we don’t accept it. We’re just used to it.
That’s when we keep pounding the truth home to our friends and peers.
We can win this! :-D
I was just going to post what you did. Thanks for doing it for me. ;)
Good for O’Keefe. He came back from that bogus prosecution. He provides an invaluable service to conservative positions.
