#1 Progressive hate and projection at its best.

Defund NPR and PBS now.

#2 National Public Radio senior executive, Ron Schiller, has left NPR this week for the Aspen Institute.

Nothing to do with this sting, just a coincidence. Uh huh

#3 "The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian -- I wouldn't even call it Christian. It's this weird evangelical kind of move," declared Schiller, the head of NPR's nonprofit foundation, who last week announced his departure for the Aspen Institute.

How disconnected from reality can you be and still manage to breathe?

#4 NPR has noticed, and issued a statement:

Dana Davis Rehm, NPR's senior vice president of marketing, communications and external relations, has released this statement:

"The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept.

"We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for.

"Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job."

According to the NPR article, this is already making waves on Capitol Hill. The vote against funding should pass easily, I expect.

#5 So sorry -- that last line was my own comment, and should not be in italics.

#6 Is Betsy Liley still at NPR (National Palestinian Radio)? It seems that NPR doesn't appreciate Tea Party taxpayers and all the other taxpayers who foot part of their bill. The bad publicity will also kill off some donors who think they might be giving to a good cause. Defund NPR!

#7 So ... how many umbrellas and tote bags to you get for a 5 million $ NPR contribution?

#8 Public Money is involved, should be retired to pound me in the Aspen Institute.
