Will NPR fire Nina Totenberg for wishing Jesse Helms would get AIDS?
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 10/21/2010 9:52:23 AM PDT by roses of sharon

Figuring out what’s inconsistent with NPR’s editorial standards can be awful difficult. The network terminated the contract for Fox News contributor Juan Williams because of a comment about Muslims, but apparently has yet to take a similar action against Nina Totenberg. From Reason’s Michael Moynihan:

Check out this clip, from way back in 1995, of NPR’s Nina Totenberg telling the host of PBS’s Inside Washington that if there was “retributive justice” in the world the (admittedly loathsome) Jesse Helms would “get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.” Totenberg is still NPR’s legal affairs correspondent.

The cultural Marxism of NPR is rampant and NPR should be taken off the air. They promote the big lie all the time and silence the truth. It is obvious when they fired Juan.

Just listen to any of their Soros and taxpayer backed broadcasts which promote vile lesbian material and communist agitprop and drug use. Anything to destroy the Christian morality of the family unit—to destroy it and Capitalism—so they can take over the wreckage that is created in the dysfunctional, drug-using, TV-transfixed useful idiots who have nothing to live for but their fix. Taxpayers should not be paying for Democrat agitprop.

Remember when she said that “all women in America need to get on their knees” for Clinton because of all the great things he did for women while president?

Typical double standard for NPR.

“Juan should sue, saying he was fired because he’s black. The “Nina example” would be good ammo for him.”

This is juicy on so many levels: NPR and the PC crap they just stepped into. Wow.

Word on the street is that Miss Nina has quite the mouth on her. She could go one on one with a drunken union thug.

But that’s different. Nina Totenberg is white, you see . . .
