A National Public Radio (NPR) reporter has resigned after a hateful voice mail message she left for a conservative group was made public.
Rachel Buchman worked for WHYY in Philadelphia, an NPR affiliate, when she called the offices of the Web site laptoplobbyist.com to express her outrage over an e-mail the group sent to her opposing special rights for homosexuals.
"You're evil, horrible people. You're awful people," she said, identifying herself only as "Rachel." "You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn."
Chris Carmouche, publisher of laptoplobbyist.com, said he's accustomed to liberals being offended by his group's moral stands—but added that Buchman's message was over the top.
"We want people to know that this is not an isolated incident," he said. "People have to realize there's not just a media bias, but in many cases there is a media hatred, toward anything conservative, Christian or traditional."
After Carmouche posted a recording of Buchman's message on his Web site, she apologized for "a personal matter that was turned into a public issue."
"Rather than call my journalistic integrity into question," she said. "I decided to resign for personal reasons."
Carmouche said it's too late for her professional reputation to be salvaged.
"Conservatives will no longer tolerate the reporting of liberal vitriol as fact," he told The Washington Times. "We will not tolerate the Dan Rathers of the world spoon-feeding the public liberal propaganda. And we will call the 'old media' to account when they make their biases and bigotries obvious and deviate from commonly acceptable standards of journalism."
WHEN will the government STOP funding these atheist socialists with our tax dollars?
bttt
Have you ever lived with a liberal. The answer is NEVER.
When voters elect people who will put a stop to it.
ping for later
Just another victim of PEST.
Back to what the meaning of is is, are we?
I saw a bumper sticker today...it read "One Nation..Under LAWS" (the other side of the bumper had a K/E 2004 sticker)....
PEST has become one funny thing. BWAAAAAAGHHHHH!
Perhaps she'd be happy to know that they are burning, in the Sudan.
Such hatred! It's OK Rachel. We still love you... we just want you off the air.
Ya Think????
The meltdown of the left continues. November was a fun month, and December is looking up too.
Ping to self for later pingout.
Yes - and most of our "laws" were based on the Ten Commandments! These liberals just think these ideas appeared out of thin air. Stupid liberals.
Liberalism remains the nation's number one disease....
'Integrity.'
Sure.
When will the atheists realize they don't have a prayer? <;-)

I thought he was "no longer with the company".
I like your screenname.
We almost had them wiped out in'95 - de-funded, until our 'friend' Newt Gingrich stepped in and gave them all they wanted
I'm glad to see that someone had the guts to respond with the usual, tepid "this is unfortunate."
A stubbed toe is unfortunate, this is war.
Here's her capsule biography from the WHYY web site:
RACHEL BUCHMAN
Rachel Buchman works as a freelance reporter for WHYY news, and helps produce WHYY's Radio TImes talk show from time to time. In Wilmington, Delaware she reports and anchors for WILM newsradio, where she often files for CBS. She started as a volunteer at WHYY ... and at WPFW, a Pacifica station in Washington, DC. Rachel graduated cum laude from Barnard College of Columbia University in 1999 with honors in Anthropology.
He's still there -- just no longer "Senior Host."
VeryFewGetIt...
Well, I know this is like storming into hell with a bucket of water, as one friend told me, but you can always add your name to this.

Wow! A real live demon. Caught on tape yet.
What will happen if you splashed holy water on her?
Will she scream "I'm melting! I'm melting!?"
Cuss out a priest in Latin?
Perhaps star in the next "Exorcism IV"?
In all seriousness, I believe by what is written here, she is evil, and as acting as one of the evil one's minions.
Interesting. When W says this about terrorists, he's being a reckless cowboy.
OMG!
We almost had them wiped out in'95 - de-funded, until our 'friend' Newt Gingrich stepped in and gave them all they wanted
Is that correct???
UNPLUG NPR!!!
Just Amazing; I can't stop laughing out loud it's so ridiculous. I don't know if I could stuff that much vitriol into a fifteen second phone message to anyone.
LOL....I do.
Yep. The bill converting them to private and fully defunding them was on the floor until Newt pulled it.
"God hates you and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn .."
I'm really curious about what theological seminary teaches about a God who wants to kill social conservatives...
HMMMMMM.
Typical spoiled liberal trust fund brat.
No, not correct ... there were and still are about 30 or so GOP moderates/RINOs that would not defund NPR, PBS, NEA etc.
too 'extremist' for more moderate members who would run for coer when "Big Bird" came to town. Them + Democrats were a majority on this issue ...
Gingrich and Co never had the votes, also they were ~2 votes shy of defunding NEA. The high water mark was 1995. Anything that survived that year survived period.
Not even close
Ok, thanks.
I don't listen to NPR, but recall an article that he had been fired, demoted, or something.
Wheww..... for a minute there, I thought you we're talking about Teraza Heinz Kerry......
Nope Bob left...He's on satellite now.
"and you should all burn."
ah, don't you just love the sound of goose-stepping, authoritarian,wannabees?
it's wonderful when they betray what's in their hearts.
just one more step towards their being un-masked. (then the ugly face of totalitarianism will be bare)
