These people heading NPR need to be gone, and/or taxpayer funds deeply cut from NPR. What is NPR's purpose anyway, to be a taxpayer funded left wing mouthpiece? Unacceptable.

What a creep. He should be scared of white gun toting Americans...

no love for NPR here. Only good reason for NPR, to listen to before picking up hippie chicks in coffee shops, or to get some sort of self satisfaction for driving your POS lithium packed, strip mined, barely better mileage than a Civic, Prius. BUY A BIKE YOU STUPID SELF SATISFIED JERK!
(should this go in the pet peeves thread?)
I like Prairie Home Companion and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Science Friday.

NO YOU DON'T!
but seriously, those shows are entertaining, I'm talking when they try to get serious about politics or news.
I listen to NPR every single day for hours at a time. I often get angry with them, but I prefer the constant news feed over the talking heads of talk radio. Plus I'd rather have to deal with changing the station for a week during pledge drives than the terrible commercials on AM talk radio.
I don't think anyone can deny that the NPR has become the spokesperson for the liberal left.
However....
This video only shows ones side of the conversation and focuses in on badmouthing of republicans. In order to be genuinely fair and unbiased we should have access to the entire interview.
It's very easy to prove a point by using half truths (see Michael Moore).To see the real truth we need to see unedited footage of the conversation that took place.

I beg to differ. He should feel safe and secure that "gun-toting Americans" exist.
To quote from Col Nathan Jessep (Jack Nocholson's character in A Few Good Men)
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?...
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives…You don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
Just sayin'.
Both people in that video resigned, one of them before the video even hit the public. It was the very first thing I heard on NPR today when my alarm clock went off.

I can't STAND Garrison Keillor ... he comes off to me as a condescending elitist/leftist schmuck ... like he sees "common folk" as an odd curiosity to be lampooned and profited from (and ultimately controlled by urbane elites like himself).
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is more obvious in its leftist politics ... but I find it much more enjoyable (same with Car Talk).
But frankly all these shows on NPR and PBS that people actually like will draw sponsor dollars and keep these media outlets afloat so they don't really NEED to steal money from me to fund the ones I don't like.

This isn't over yet. There is more video held in reserve by O'Keefe. Americans have goldfish attention spans when it comes to politics. NPR wants to assume this will go away if they fire a few figureheads and bring them back on lucrative contracts in 6 months.. It's not going to go away.
Let them try to spin this as one man, just a fund raiser. It's not.
Here is an article: I guess the guy that resigned yesterday, was already leaving for a job, back in his home town in Colorado.

Is he the Prairie Home Companion guy? I can see what you mean, but I always kind of assumed that he came from a kind of rural background, since he is always talking about Lake Wobegone, MI. I assume that is a made up place.
A few weeks ago, he did one of his Guy Noir skits that slammed all of NPR, Al Gore, the Left, and the Environmentalist movement. It was totally awesome and I tried to find it to post on here, but had no luck.

He's rural (and liberal) just like Ben & Jerry.
I beg to differ. He should feel safe and secure that "gun-toting Americans" exist.

I'm sorry, but this piece of trash needs taken to the dump. Like alot of Libtard bastards that have the means to push their Liberal, Muslim Loving, Pot smoking, Gun hating retard agenda. So, I feel he should be scared after his comments.
Well, he's moving back here for a job. Perhaps you'll get the chance to tell him in person. ;)
6pm news reported tonight that he won't be getting the job at Aspen Institute after all -- too bad [BooHoo]

This. If those on the left actually believed that people who carry guns (for a living or by choice) were a danger they would handle them with kid gloves. The very fact that they feel so safe making those kinds of derogatory remarks belies their position.
