Fun times over at NPR

| No Comments
James O'Keefe is the guy who secretly filmed himself and a friend posing as a pimp and prostitute. The pair went into multiple ACORN offices up and down the East Cost to apply for housing for him and his 'girls' and he was open about them coming into the country illegally and being underage. This led to ACORN's defunding although most of the people just did a lateral and are now doing the same good 'community organizing' under the aegis of a different organization. Jame's latest target was National Public Radio. Here they are on the TEA Party and Radical Islam:
Here they are on Climate "Change" and Obama's birth:
From FOX News:
Schiller Forced Out as NPR President Following Hidden-Camera Sting
Embattled NPR CEO Vivian Schiller resigned Wednesday at the request of the board after a hidden-camera video was released showing a fellow executive criticizing Republicans as "anti-intellectual" and calling the Tea Party "racist."

The resignation caps a tumultuous period for Schiller and comes just two days after she delivered a major speech in Washington outlining her vision for NPR's future. NPR Board of Directors Chairman Dave Edwards, in a statement on NPR's website, said the board accepted Schiller's resignation, which is "effective immediately," with regret. According to The Associated Press, the board asked Schiller to step down, and she complied.
A bit more:
During the meeting, Ron Schiller talked about how the Republican Party had been "hijacked" by the Tea Party.

"The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved with people's personal lives," he said.

Schiller described that movement as "white, middle America, gun-toting," and added: "They're seriously racist people."

Ron Schiller went on to lament what he called an "anti-intellectual" component of the Republican Party.

"Liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives," he said.

Schiller also suggested NPR would be better off if it did not accept federal funding, fueling the argument of GOP lawmakers who for months have been pushing to halt taxpayer support for NPR.
And from Capitol Hill - CNS News:
Cantor: 'We Are Going to Proceed' With Defunding NPR
When asked today whether he thought the resignation of National Public Radio CEO Vivian Schiller was a good move, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that House Republicans will �proceed� with defunding NPR.

�The statements were that NPR realizes it doesn�t need taxpayer funding. That's what the statement was about," Cantor said at a news availability following a meeting of the House Republican Conference. "So perhaps the truth finally came out and we are going to proceed along those lines because that�s what was said and indicated by that organization."
Heh...
