So, the felonious and as far as I know, currently on probation for illegally interfering with the phone lines of a U.S. Senater, and also would-be sexual assaulter, bigot, and all round nut job, liar, editor of tapes, James O'Keefe has resurfaced, this time targeting NPR.
Maybe it's just me, (although it seems not judging by some of the comments supporting Schiller attached to articles covering this story), but exactly what did Schiller say that was not 100% true?
Here is what he said to O'Keefe's fake Muslim donors:
Stung: NPR Execs Caught in Candid Chat With Would-be Muslim DonorsThe sting operation, produced by conservative activist James O'Keefe, shows NPR fundraisers Ron Schiller (who has since left NPR) and Betsy Liley at lunch with two men masquerading as wealthy Muslim donors. That the NPR people appear to tell the supposed contributors what they want to hear is not an unusual approach for fundraisers.
But against the backdrop of a possible cut off of NPR funding proposed by the GOP-controlled U.S. House, Schiller can be heard saying that "very little of our funding comes from the government." That is correct. Then, talking about the GOP, he adds: "The current Republican Party, particularly the tea party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian -- and I wouldn't even call it Christian." In answer to a leading question about the tea party movement, he adds, "Basically, they believe in white, middle America, gun toting -- it's pretty scary. They're seriously racist..."
Is there anything in that statement that is NOT true? Have we not seen their racist signs at political rallies, their guns at political rallies?
Just Google 'Republican/Teaparty Racism' if anyone doubts the veracity of that statement.
In fact, imho, Schiller was being kind. He didn't mention, eg, the racist Birthers, some of whom are Republican members of Congress eg.
So, what else did he say that the cowardly media is all in an uproar over?
NPR exec caught on tape calling Tea Partiers 'racist' In the video, Schiller indicated that he thought it was important that the nation has "Muslim voices in our schools and on our air. I mean it's the same thing we faced when we as a nation didn't have female voice."
Excellently stated by Schiller. Again, an example of O'Keefe's (and the media's) own bigotry that they view this as a 'sting' that exposed something wrong! Unbelievable!
This MSM article claims that his statement about Muslims is NOT what caused the furor!! REally? Then what was the point of the little stunt using Muslims instead of say, Christians?
Have they ever visited Freeper territory to find out what Republicans think of Muslims?
Are they unaware of Republican Rep. King's witch hunt of Muslims among others?
And exactly what would be wrong with accepting donations, which btw, NPR did not, from wealthy Muslims??
Would it be okay if they were NOT Muslims? Apparently that was the point. Thank YOU MSM for exposing your own bigotry.
The story here is NOT the truth spoken by Schiller. It is the acceptance by both NPR and the MSM of O'Keefe's bigoted point of view that to accept donations from Muslims.
The singling out of an ethnic group and smearing them as unacceptable to receive donations from. That is pure BIGOTRY! And typical of every stunt we've seen from O'Keefe the bigot! There is always a not-so-subtle bigotry in his schoolyard stunts and yet, every time, the MSM gives him a pass on this blatant and ugly bigotted garbage.
Notice how he is referred to as a 'film-maker' a 'conservative activist'.
The man is a criminal!!
Could it be that they themselves are secretly in agreement with him? It sure is beginning to look that way.
Schiller is no longer with NPR which apparently has nothing to do with this so-called 'sting'. The sting is on those who are apologizing and criticing Schiller. They have exposed themselves as they give a pass to one of the most vile, prejudiced, criminal, sick individuals in this country today, without once pointing out that there is in fact nothing wrong with taking money from Muslims, unless you are a bigot like O'Keefe.
I really, really hope that Schiller makes no apologies for his statements. He spoke the truth. Imho, he didn't say enough.
We are supposed to get FACTS from the media. And he stated facts. No apologies should ever be made for speaking the truth.
As for the MSM and NPR. Here's a question for them that no one seems to be able to get an answer to and O'Keffe is very scared of whenever it is asked.
WHO IS FUNDING BREITBART & O'KEEFE?? And why will they not answer that question??
What are they hiding and why is the MSM not interested in finding out?
