NPR executives caught on tape bashing conservatives and Tea Party, touting liberals
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/08/2011 | Matthew Boyle

A man who appears to be a National Public Radio senior executive, Ron Schiller, has been captured on camera savaging conservatives and the Tea Party movement.

“The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people’s personal lives and very fundamental Christian – I wouldn’t even call it Christian. It’s this weird evangelical kind of move,” declared Schiller, who runs NPR’s foundation.

In a new video released Tuesday morning by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, Schiller and Betsy Liley, NPR’s director of institutional giving, are seen meeting with two men who, unbeknownst to the NPR executives, are posing as members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The men, who identified themselves as Ibrahim Kasaam and Amir Malik from the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust, met with Schiller and Liley at Café Milano, a well-known Georgetown restaurant, and explained their desire to give to $5 million to NPR because, “the Zionist coverage is quite substantial elsewhere.”

I don’t even know why there’s a question about dumping support for these leftist looneys. I’m really getting tired of going through this year after year.

NPR is decidedly anti-Christian, anti-Semetic, and anti-American . . . what’s the question? Dump ‘em.

Most of the media is liberal biased , why should NPR be any different?The problem is that public funds are helping support them. This needs to be stopped.

This Schiller guy is a homo, too. Unhinged homos are very scary.

Just de-fund NPR and let a commercial enterprise do what they have failed to do. People said for a generation that without NPR there would be no ‘Educational Programming’ - ummm, how about Discovery, National Geographic, History Channel, Military Channel and the Nature Channel.

Any one of these does, for a profit, a better job in any given year, than NPR has done in it’s entire existance. And these companies do not have a gun to our head, demanding money.

NPR needs to be totally defunded for aiding and abetting the enemy.

fanatically involved in people’s personal lives

So, what's the difference between that, and total control of a person's health care? Or regulation of what lightbulbs they purchase?

I've had this conversation with many Liberals.

"You Republicans want to control everything about my life!"
"No, we just want to be left alone."
"No! You're nazis! You're all about control!"

The truth is that Liberals insist that abortion be freely available to all. They are willing impose confiscatory levels of taxation on people, tons of regulations, and all sorts of intrusive laws -- but they do not see themselves as controlling, so long as they allow abortion to exist.

On the other hand, Conservatives who want a truly limited federal government, low taxes, less regulation, and less oversight of what people can and cannot do -- such people are seen as control freaks because they want states to have the power to regulate abortion.

Very twisted view of the world.

I actually saw a commercial on TV, touting the “Opportunity” to have the president give a graduation speech at your high school. All you had to do was write an essay entitled “Why x High School deserves to have President Obama attend their Graduation”.

So, either the public schools are turning out students who have no idea how to read or write (a distinct possibility); or no one wants him in the neighborhood.

Defund NPR permanently. This seals the deal.

I bet Schiller isn’t feeling too chirpy today! I watched this earlier and it was great. Good to see James O’K. is still up to his great sting operations! I love that guy. Wonder whatever happened to Heather or whatever her name was from his first sting? Glad to see he didn’t let that little trouble down in LA stop him.

Well, good to have this exposed. It is very chilling, tho. At least ‘the elite lefties’ are poorly represented in our population. Universities should be closed.
