It looks like James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas may have some ‘splaining to do after an analysis by The Blaze reveals some selective editing of the recently released NPR videos. The most damning video was the one where now former NPR executive Ron Schiller was quoted as calling the Tea Partiers as racists. However a further look at the raw footage shows that Schiller was actually discussing what an Republican Ambassador was saying.

Scottie: He’s dead, Jim.
It’s fairly clear from the full transcript that Schiller’s last words: “I mean, it’s pretty scary. They’re seriously racist, racist people.”, were his own thoughts, not a quotation from someone else.
I agree. If you read the transcript, the offensive language was after the part of the conversation regarding the ambassador and was clearly schiller’s own opinion.
Correct, the Tea Party movement began on April 15, 2009, in response to the spending and bailout fever in Washington DC and the Obummer Administration. The CNBC (I think that was that channel) business guy Rick Santelli called for a Tea Party and he got one!!! In my opinion Rick is the Grandfather of the Modern Tea Party Movement.
I was at my first rally on that day and I haven’t stopped yet!!!
THEN WHY DID HE RESIGN??
All this shows is that given enough time you can come up with a better answer...
Their initial reaction is what is the most telling
In fact, I have long contended that every conservative submitting to an interview with any of the MSM talking heads should make it a pre-condition that they have the absolute right to copy and publish any portions of the interview that the MSM talking heads leave on the cutting room floor.
It’s time we give NPR a FREEPING like they’ve never had before!!!
Comment on their story here:
Back in the day when Dobson was head of Focus on the Family he insisted that his own FOTF crew also film every media interview and have the right to publish any ‘corrections’ that were needed.
That quickly put an end to lies being published about him.
So what? We’ve known for some time there’s lots of Democrats in the Republican party. We call ‘em RINOs.
My best guess is that Schiller is something like the stereotype of a used car salesman. He tells his guests whatever he thinks they want to hear and makes up stuff on a moment’s notice.
I kinda doubt the alleged conversation even occurred or that these GOP guys who confided in him even exist. Regardless, I dont think the blaze analysis is fair. It sounds like the “what the GOP guys told me” part ends with their claim to have voted for Obama.
1) Why were two NPR execs meeting with sworn enemies of the U.S., Israel and the West, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, in view of accepting a $5 million donation? Why were they doing that in the first place?
(here’s the declared jihad): http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/4650.htm
2) Why did NPR lie in their first cover story, saying they never were going to accept the check?
3) Why did NPR conspire to conceal this from the public and the government?
4) Why did Ron Schiller launch into an anti-Semitic rant?
5) why did Betsy Liles laugh and say “I like that!” when people she thought were our enemies called NPR “National Palestinian Radio”?
6) Do they think we’re stupid?
Defund. Audit. Investigate. Incarcerate.
Interesting that anyone could claim to know this, besides him and his group.

If this is true then they are easily a target for wrongful termination and O’Keefe is in for a trial for libel.
I call BS.
Well-stated post and closing action items worth repeating.
