#5 Unacceptable. It's an institutionalized atmosphere of hate and intolerance. I recommend the solution that the left has jammed down the throats of every other organization and institution. Mandatory education classes, goals for diversity representation in hiring and promoting, and a filing of compliance with such implementations. [Oh, this could be fun]

#8 Fox News On-Line Poll as to whether NPR should continue to recieve federal funding has 93% against federal funding.

I'm sure the left will ignore this poll since their viewers are all nazi racist homophobic bigoted prejudiced gun/religious clingers in flyover territory. Unlike me, of course.

#9 "The Board accepted her resignation with understanding, genuine regret, and great respect for her leadership of NPR these past two years," he said.

Well, kinda...

WASHINGTON – The chairman of NPR's board of directors says the board asked chief executive Vivian Schiller to step down after another executive called the tea party racist.

NPR chairman Dave Edwards said Wednesday that accepting Schiller's resignation was difficult. She stepped down a day after a conservative activist posted a video showing NPR executive Ron Schiller calling tea party Republicans xenophobic and racist.

Vivian Schiller says NPR is facing the most serious threat yet to its congressional funding. She says there's extraordinary pressure on Congress to make cuts and the remarks by Ron Schiller were outrageous and unfortunate at such a critical time.

There's money on the line here, folks. If Vivian can't control her people, she's gotta "pursue other interests"...

#11 From what I can tekk, O'Keefe has not made a dime for taking down ACORN or NPR shadey characters. Fox News should give this kid a nice offer.

I remember one of my history teachers disparaging muck raking.

Now I know why.

#13 And yes, I am beginning to appreciate muck-raking. :-)

Lord knows they are well overdue for it.

#16 >I'm all for mucking out the stables.

Of course, you refer to Hercules and the Augean Stables. Very appropriate.

#17 I have a muck rake and rake muck. How much muck can a muckraker muck when a muckraker does rake muck?

#18 Watched the whole two hours. What I like best was how they immediately sat down and ordered wine with such devout Moooslims. Then at dessert, Schiller went into a quarter hour rif on how wonderful Madiera was and how it was invented and the pros and cons of the 1948 versus 1930 vintages.
