NPR is hanging Ron Schiller out to dry.

[Vertnut]

I just heard on the local news that the White House still supports federal funding of NPR.

Figures.

I guess it's a good thing Barry doesn't get a vote.

Another thing I didn't know, Ron Schiller was told it was a meeting with persons from the muslim brotherhood, and he agreed to meet with them to discuss the donation. Meeting with a group that is known for supporting terrorists, soliciting a donation.

Fuck NPR. Another one bites the dust. Pull the funding, and be gone.

[CexMashean]

He was also informed by the company he was planning to leave NPR for that they don't want him now either. Love it.

They posed as the non-existent Muslim Action Education Center, according to O'Keefe's website:

I don't understand his mentality. Its all pretty simple: That muslim brotherhood impersonator specifically said "We are looking to spread the acceptance of Sharia law". That guy getting fired has to know something about sharia law by now, given all the flaming he's likely heard about it. And, being someone who would claim to stand up for civil rights, he is someone who would stand up for the rights of women, right? Well then why on earth would he want a law to spread where its ok for husbands to behead their wives?

Money?

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Yeah but a lot of these people actually believe this crap. He may not be one of them, but so many people do believe it.

He wasn't impersonating the Muslim Brotherhood.

As I mentioned before, I just heard it on the news as I was flipping channels, but here ya go. I guess they DID mention the muslim brotherhood during the sting after all.

It was pretty easy to find with a 30 second google search.

Schiller was accompanied by Betsy Liley, NPR senior director of institutional giving, on the lunch with members of the "Muslim Education Action Center," a fake group set up specifically to target NPR. The two members who met with Schiller and Liley established a purported connection with the Muslim Brotherhood early on in the lunch.

The setup was the brainchild of conservative James O'Keefe, who has become famous for his hidden-camera videos, most recently targeted at the Census bureau.

Maybe I didn't get the gist of the video. Point still stands though.
