VIDEO: NPR was going to accept Muslim donation and hide it from the government
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/10/11 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 03/10/2011 1:42:34 PM PST by Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

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

The Left was far more outraged over Talon News Service.

NPR is accepting payola from antisemites and the Left says we MUST continue giving them taxpayer dollars because they are the ONLY independent voice in the media.

HA!

The U.S. House needs to re-vamp their committee calendar. They've got some investigating to do.

As long as there is 24/7 sports coverage of any kind, beer, and reality TV, don’t expect too much from the sheeple.

Young people are going into debt for an education and these thugs use the money to fund leftist propaganda.
