This James O’Keefe video @ the link doesn't make this NPR senior executive look too good.

Now James O’Keefe has been promoted to “conservative filmaker” by the old media?

The guy is quite a hero, actually. We need at least 1,000 more investigative journalists like him., on the streets, hungry for stories.

“flaming Christian conservative” = they say that like it’s a bad thing?

Can’t watch video - did the flaming liberal progressive “national public” radio executive take the muslim baksheesh?

Don’t expect the MSM to report this, as they feel the same way about the Tea Party.

Wow. This is going to be all over. Looks like O'Keefe has his stuff back to together after a few stupid stunts.

It is especially rich when this idiot tells us how Juan Williams just isn't NPR material (since they are all about reporting and objectivity), after going on at length about what a bunch of redneck, ignorant, gun-toting, racist hillbillies the Republican party is controlled by.

I Hope you have enjoyed your job, and it's relative anonymity Mr. Ron Schiller (any relation to Vivian Schiller?). As of today, you are famous, and soon likely to be unemployed.

Can't wait until the talk radio crowd gets going with this.

Education is one of my pet-peeve issues and I find it interesting (as well as hilarious) that they think university = intellect, etc, etc, etc.

Lol, O’Keefe definitely has good timing, just as the defunding of NPR is being proposed in the House.

” fanatically involved in people’s personal lives “

Yeah, like those fanatical Christians using the political process to make us use mercury filled lightbulbs, telling us how much water to use to flush the toilet, trying to tell us what we should and should not drive, what we should and should not eat, how much energy we can use and how we are to produce it, making us recycle or face fines, and the grandaddy of them all - taking control of our medical care system.

Those people just can’t seem to mind their own business, forcing their religious views on everyone else. They should keep their religion to themselves! If they want to do or not do those things, fine - be an example, but leave us alone.

Those fundamentalist evangelicals should just leave us alone!


wha? The Christian religion isn’t doing those things? Some other religion is?

nevermind...

They should be supported by private donations only or be allowed to fold.

No taxpayer funds.

Defund the bastidges.

The thought that even a penny of my tax money goes to support this smarmy creep Schiller is disgusting. Defund NPR now!

What a condescending, self important creep. I’m glad this video is out there; it shows these people for what they are.

There is absolutely no rational excuse to fund NPR. There are numerous and ever-expanding media outlets and we are broke.

If NPR is not defunded, its a sign our bureacracy is so entrenched that it can’t be removed and we are doomed. Seriously. There is no reason to fund this nonsense, even if they were the most patriotic government organization in America.

Schiller said that is what he is “most disappointed by in this country, which is that the educated, so-called elite in this country is too small a percentage of the population, so that you have this very large un-educated part of the population that carries these ideas.”

LOL No doubt this is an isolated view.

Is this the happy wife, VIVIAN SCHILLER?

What is their combined take of taxpayer salary and benefit dollars from this so-called “NPR”?

Meet the Schillers

Just another happy little family of prim and proper FACISTs, aren’t they?

Stunning and unbelievable. This NPR twit is hopefully crying in his arugala about now. These guys are off the reservation. Can’t wait to see how these jackals spin this! Kudos to O’Keefe.

O’Keefe only presented the opportunity, NPR played their usual part.

I think we are witnessing the dying throes of American progressive liberalism, these people have become so desperate they are openly unethical.

Hang in there folks we are winning.

These SOB’s are hypocrites of the first order and so incapable of clear thought it’s just mindboggling.

This video should mark the end of public funding of NPR.

Did anyone else notice the classic assertion of liberal intellectual superiority by the girly man head of NPR?

The video should be played at all Tea Party meetings so that we can all hear what liberals really think of us. As if we needed more motivation to get them out of government.

The attitude of the girly man seemed to be that it's ok if the government stops funding us, we can get funding from America haters all over the world.
