NPR targets Michelle Malkin's family on 'comedy show'

[Rational Thought]

Welcome to Gov Palin’s world.

[D-fendr]

I happened to listen to this show this weekend. It was a liberal inside-joke fest throughout.

And not funny.

[Shady]

That “show” takes inane to a whole new lower level...

[Sarah Barracuda]

What else is knew with those NPR bastards. Targeting a woman whose cousin is missing is absolutely disgusting..NPR knows they are finished, just a matter of time. My Prayers continue to go out to the Malkin family. I pray her cousin comes home safely

[Fido969]

NPR “game shows” are the stupidest things in the world. They aren’t funny, and the questions are lame.

[Dr. Thorne]

RE: P.J. O'Rourke - He used to funny in his ideas and funny in his descriptions. Since his illness, he's become rather bland and, occasionally, a blowhard. Too bad.

However, I'll never forget his description of Bianca Jagger the morning after Daniel Ortega lost the Nicaraguan presidential election as "one bummed-out showbiz lefty". Right on the money.

Recently defunded NPR

That is a frank and blatant lie.

[Steely Tom]

Recently defunded NPR apparently thinks it's funny to falsely accuse Michelle Malkin of being a birther while making lame jokes about her family. This, at a time, when Malkin's kin is frantic with worry over the disappearance of her niece.

And here's the punchline: they make her pay them to do it! Ha ha, isn't that a scream? What? You don't think so?

Recently defunded NPR apparently

They have not been defunded

NPR really is run by some of the smartest people in the country: they get taxpayers to keep paying for this!

You’ve gotten the government you voted for America: so enjoy your high taxes and high gas and food prices. :)

The salient issue with NPR is that they cater to a minority - narcissistic liberals who desperately want to believe they're sophisticated intellectuals. Most Americans barely know NPR exists or, if they do, never listen to an NPR station. So, NPR can get away with heavily biased (left) 'news' shows as well as mocking and insulting conservative public figures while receiving taxpayer money, much of it from folks who don't share NPR's left-wing mindset. That is, of course, as unfair to taxpayers (us) as it is arguably insane. I like to listen to Rush Limbaugh and occasionally watch Fox News but I certainly don't want my tax dollars to help pay for either one...and they don't. NPR can and should survive on private funding. Let George Soros pay for it. We can't stop the leftist insults but we have absolutely no obligation to help pay for NPR to air them. When is enough, enough? I say: now. De-fund NPR!

O’Rourke started out on the left and saw the error of his ways chiefly due to the anti-Americanism of many of his left-wing compatriots. But he still has plenty of friends on the left and is probably more a libertarian than a conservative. Nobody’s perfect, certainly not Rush. But it seems O’Rourke went out of his way to slam Limbaugh.

I've been a fan of PJ's since the National Lampoon of the 70's, so if he was a lefty it was before then. Maybe you're thinking of Dennis Miller?

[dirtboy]

In one of his books O'Roarke talks about his flaming liberal days in college. His grandmother asked him if he was a Democrat, and he responed, no, I'm a Maoist!

Just as long as you're not becoming a Democrat, his grandmother responded

(paraphrasing from memory, but I could have seen my grandmother doing that, may she rest in peace).

What is up with this?

[stockpirate]

A recent poll shows that only 9% of Americans believe Obama was born in America.

[altura]

NPR’s comedy shows are amazingly juvenile and unfunny.

I discovered this when on a self-imposed regime of listening to the station to be sure I was right about how useless it is.

[Recovering_Democrat]

You know, making fun of pundits just isn’t right. After all, none of us ever mention that chris matthews wears women’s underwear!

[Nachum]

Chris Matthews favorite song...

Walkin’ round in Women’s underwear
