So NPR is trying to get off federal funding... so they want to accept this funding to help them do this. Ok.
So they are going to treat this donation the same as any other, providing the option to keep it anonymous. Alright.
Even as he claims affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, this con is not asking for a change in programming, nor does NPR have any obligation or pressure to do so. So no real hypocrisy, bigotry, or scandal at all then. Got it!
This really doesnt change anything. it just gves uneducated tea partyiers an excuse. prograNms like these help inform americans on the true facts even if it is bias. At least NPR is NOT out to brainwash people with lies. Screw right wing talk shows! stop trying to scare people and do something good for the world. how patriotic is it to misinform people. please stop the madnesss
@blakendecker your brainwashed, impulsed by fear and scared. You support a party that is out to appeal to ur emotions while misconfiguring ur own logic. Sure NPR hides much of their true opinions in order to stay credible. but u act as if Fox news or right wing talkshows are clean as shit. Who has really told the most lies to appeal to the public? This is brainwash. Its sad, especially when the county doesn't need this.
@PieFaceStudios Did Fox News or said talk shows encourage the Muslim Brotherhood, who ADVOCATE destroying "The Infidels", to donate money to promote their (NPR's) organization?
@PieFaceStudios I support a party that is out to appeal to emotions while misconfiguring my own logic? Wow! Talk about Projection! Look in the mirror. The Government is not your friend. They want you to think that to get your vote.
You deserve a bullet, James, in your skull. He'll get his. In the meantime, I'm not sure what mothers or food or basements have anything to do with cowardice and manipulation. Build your straw men with straw instead of dung, please.
Liberals are snakes. The country is going down in flames because liberals in places of power know that lots of ingrates and outside entities absolutely hate what whitey has done in building this great nation, thus they leverage their efforts to exploit said fact for the purpose of lining their pockets.

She said she would inquire, so what. She would have done that research for any donor and come up with an answer. NPR tells both sides of the story, in now way did she say they would compromise what they report. They were set up by, who? Someone who doesn't like what was disclosed for all to see.
The truth and the News should be reported, Unbiased... accepting money from the government and any religious group to influence any part news reporting,, is perhaps going against the very core of NOT mixing church and State. Pull the tax payer funding and apply that money to pay down the national debt.
@merlinspower It's extremely hard to report the news unbiased, and i'd just about say its impossible. Best you can do is like Fox news and try to give air to dissenting view points and try to show both sides, and let viewers make their minds up. Then theres groups that shout 'Fox lies', which is only an attempt to silence dissenting views, not air them out. NPR can manage without federal funding, and we have more pressing bills needing to be paid.
I listened to this, and it doesn't say she would shield them from an IRS audit done against them, only an IRS audit done against NPR. IE make them a typical anonymous donor, like thousands of other Americans and such.
It also states, 22 minutes in, that there is a firewall that makes it so that such donations cannot affect news coverage (IE the money given cannot affects news coverage, and once given is given). So it seems like a legitimate call. I don't understand what your anger is here?
@buzzlitebeersr Point is the NPR does news in a NOT non-partisan way with tax payers money. If they do it with help of "We the People" tax money, what makes you think they use other donations differently? Using "good" common sense might help one understand the anger with all of this. :>)
@theonlywesttexasmare I dont understand. NPR rep stated that they would not be allowed to use the money to affect news coverage or other reporting. This was in the video itself, and NPR did not accept the money either, because they could not verify that the group in the video was a proper organization to receive money from. So they didn't take the money, or accept it, and in the video actually gave examples of how they would not be able to use funds to manipulate news, using soros guy example.
@LivingObamaHell ..... I might be a white person, or asian, or from the middle east, and I am NOT typical. I take offense to the President's Ignorant remarks. He shows clear signs of Racism. Who the hell voted for that (mistake)? I know that I didn't. reason was .. the remark about " I want to redistribute wealth in America."
@StoogeWatcher Remember, the golden ideology of the democrats are that all rules/laws are 'breathing/living'. IE: They can change them whenever it's inconvenient. To them, legal is what they agree with, illegal is what they disagree with, written laws be damned. 'We make the rules up as we go along', 'if we cant push a bill through the door [legally], we'll jump the wall, we'll dig underneath, we'll parachute in'... They love violent rhetoric, as long as the target isnt a democrat.
Just like in Wisconsin this video shows the Democrats/Lefty/Liberal/Marxist's just love to raise tax's. They love to set up the rules where the spigot of cash flowing to them never, ever ends. And that along with themselves, their good friends, relatives, lovers, supporters, and Union buddies always have this river of cash going into their pockets. The cash does have to make a stop first, be it the teachers union, supporters etc. then after it is washed most of it flows right back to them yippie
@StoogeWatcher That is the truth if you look in the past 30 years which politicians have not paid their taxes the vast majority are Democrats. They think they are above the law. Where conservatives believe in the law.
Oh yes, the Charlie Rangel wing of the Leftie Dems do what they always do. Scream, yell, bully, and call for the tax's on the RICH be raised again and again. But, as all of Obama's nominees to just about anything in his administration have shown. Is that NONE OF THEM PAY THEIR OWN TAX'S. They are tax evaders of the highest sort. Zero morals. They will call Repulicans every name in the book, but taking $ from Muslims that clearly want to kill us? No problem. Plus we will evade tax's
@htimSsalohciN If the democrats can be a race, why can't the republicans? Afterall, anytime you speak out against democrats, it's proof you're a 'racist'. and anytime a black man or hispanic man becomes a republican, he becomes a 'race traitor' / Uncle Tom.
James O'Keefe is a charlatan opportunist pervert propagandist. Look at what happened with Abbie Boudreau. Only an idiot would think this scumbag intelligent or relevant.
We don't have to "believe" O'Keefe exposed NPR, NPR believes it themselves because they are resigning of their own accord. Oh, he's a "charlatan"? You are clearly "projecting" the name calling onto O'Keefe when it is easy to see that the Lefty Dems&you for that matter, are just looking in a mirror, then you name call. In a nutshell, the entire Left wing Dem party love to name call/label the Right. Racist,bigot,homophobe, they "hate children/poor" but it's the Lefties ALL THE WAY.
@btwall60 James O'Keefe is affiliated with white nationalists. that is a fact. He set up a phony meeting with a CNN journalist on false pretenses luring her to a boat full of sex toys and came onto her. the right wing has enough image problems without this demented freak adding to the damage. he's a liability.
Aw, gee, I was hoping you would back up O'Keefe with your own argument and you have. Thank you very much. When the Lefty set up Guv Walker in Wisconsin all was well in Lefty land, was it not? Yest it was. The sad part for you Lefty supporters was that Walker spoke with the plant just as he would any other supporter, spoke the truth and hung up. Meanwhile the NPR racists, liars,tax cheats, etc immediately RESIGNED. Nice "name call" w/the "white ntlist's" BS proves you R a racistAlso
@btwall60 James O'Keefe does have ties to white nationalists. Prove what you say about NPR or you are a liar. "Lefty...Left land...Lefty...", even O'Keefe has a wider political vocab than this, so naturally this is the type who considers him credible. right wing fail.
@poodlesusan Liberals are perverts. They support Planned Parenthood. And you're the scumbags for defending Nazi Propaganda Radio aka National Palestinian Radio aka NPR.
The libs must hide their views or people would stop funding them all together....what a bunch of crooks...but they are Intellectuals...so they think they are smarter than everyone else...which is why they keep getting caught on tape...remember the Planned Parenthood video’s ....same thing...crooked as a dog's hind leg...

James O'Keefe is a low classed right winged lacky of Murdock and fox net. I have never heard of or seen this man and I a well-informed and open-minded person willing to listen to any arguement that makes sense but nothing in this report is fair because is only portrays 2 people within the organization and while I found nothing they said offensive at all it wasn't really newsworthy. It is a complete and utter waste of resourses and time and I hope he is outed for the fraud O'Keefe is.
O'Keefe nailed ACORN. He nailed the teacher's unions in NJ. VeritasVisuals (this channel) is his channel here on Youtube.
You say you're well-informed, yet you don't have a clue on earth who this guy is? WOW! You must be living under a rock! Even a quick google or wiki search would have revealed this to you, but you don't put in the effort? I'm sorry, I'm just going to dismiss your 'well-informed' opinion as nonsense.
Left Wing hypocrisy, bigotry, and corruption exposed YET AGAIN on video. Guess we can put this film in the same files with leftist racists caught on film like Reverand Wright, Jessie "hymie town" Jackson, Shirley Sherrod, Van Jones (whites are the poisoners of society). While liberals claim the Tea Party is racist, seem's like most of today's bigotry comes from the people who support the 20 year Trinity Church member.

@EastCoastDude99 Tea party is racist, I have yet to see a person of color within it's ranks so chew on that slab of fat you right wing redneck racist SOB.
The real racists are the libs who support abortions in abortion clinics...e.g. did you know that in New York, that there are five abortions by Black females to everyone one White female....talk about racist...those clinics are performing genocide...Hitler would be proud of you...the clinics are very efficient....Most Tea Party members are Pro Life...not Pro Death...if they were racist they should change to Pro Death...
@bxcongero1 - This claim is absolute BS! If you want to see a black man in the tea party, look at the clip of the man that showed up to a Tea Party rally with a semi auto rifle. MSNBC willfully misrepresented the guy as 'white' but he was darker in skin tone than Obama himself.
@phonedude58 You lie. I've pointed out MEAC is not a terrorist organization. It is a phony organization which, according to its phony website O'Keefe made, claims NOT to want to establish Sharia law, but to increase tolerance and challenge intolerance. Typical right wing lackeys believe everything James O'Keefe tells them. You are being lied to. Wake the fuck up.
Corruption, hubris, elitism, hypocrisy, fraud, bias and a total disdain for our nations laws and well being are the core traits of the corrupt organizations NPR and PBS. They falsely take public funds while looking you in they eye and lying about their motives, intentions and actions. This type of elitist criminal creatures who takes public tax money under false pretenses are a danger to our nation and YOUR childrens future. It is now all proven fact. Deny it all you want.
NPR may as well have its federal funding yanked, it doesn't deserve it and by their own admission does not need it. They've been proven to be a biased organization, and their news is a joke... Which is fine if their privately funded or donated, but don't spend tax payer money on them. Of course, the fact that it's O'Keefe is what gets in liberals craws. Apparently democrats are a race now, because if you inconvenience them, it makes you a racist.
@Metool2 -- NPR news is cultural marxism served with syrup and swallowed on the promise that their brainwashing potions will endow the listener with the amazing ability to walk around believing an illusion that they are somehow more "sophisticated." These jokers are nothing but modern day snake oil salesman.
@mn8aol It's true, its kinda iritating that the smugness people have when listening to NPR thinking they are 'better' than the unwashed masses. Granted, I do enjoy its programming, and love classical music they play, and when I was a teenager really thought that made me 'smarter'... But its all just a different type of enjoyment, on par with those who enjoy cooking shows, or those who sit through hunting programs, which others would find 'boring'.
@Metool2 -- Cooking and hunting shows are not deliberately designed to deliver you from a patriarchal structure, i.e. your parents and God, so that you look to the state to guide you, i.e. collectivism.
@mn8aol Somehow, gradening programs, classical and old world music, and dry comedy programs don't seem too 'delivering' either. NPR has alot of nice programming, but its just their news that stinks. If they either got rid of the news, or got rid of the government funding, it would be fine. They don't need government funding, said so themselves. So they should just make those cuts. Of course, they immediately say the first they will cut is 'elmo and arthur'.
@Metool2 You thinking you were better than other people may have had more to do with you being a teenager than listening to NPR. I have met very few teenagers that have an accurate perception of their worth. :)
@Metool2-- "We now confuse moral standards with the sophistication of dialectical materialism, with a Communist crackpot theology which teaches that everything changes, and that what is right or wrong, good or bad, changes as well. So nothing they say is really good or bad. There is no such thing as truth or a lie; and any belief we actually held was simply your being unsophisticated." -- EDWARD HUNTER, testimony on Communist brainwashing, Congressional record, March 13, 1958
@mn8aol A quote doesn't make truth. That person clearly doesn't understand relativistic morality. Even if you believe in moral relativism, you would still probably believe that there are some acts which are immoral. For instance, cold blooded murder is certainly immoral, not just unsophisticated.
(And there is no real fundamental reason why communists would have to be moral relativists anyway.)
@jlucchetti -- Dialectical Materialism holds that there are no absolute truths. Karl Marx literally laughed about the notion of morality. How in the world do you think over 100,000,000 men, women and children were murdered by communists in the 20th century? How do you think that that happened?
@mn8aol Truth relativism is just nonsense. No one even partially sane believes in it. It is a self-defeating proposition.
Moral relativism does not hold there there are no immoral actions. It could just mean that morality is context sensitive or depends on the person. (I really don't believe in relativistic morality, but you are way mis-characterizing it.)
How do you think the Crusades happened? Maybe these things have more to do with evil people existing than any specific ideology.
@mn8aol Yes... Again, what is your point? It wasn't a particularly interesting subject for me. Should I spend days trying to get a basic understanding of every philosophic principle that people on discussion forums mention in passing?
Again, you now have an opportunity to show me why I am entirely wrong, and that leftists are actually all truth relativists that deserve our contempt.
@mn8aol After reading on Dialectical Materialism for about 15 minutes, this statement of yours seems entirely false. It sounds like Dialectical Materialists believe there is something known as "absolute truth" which is the entirety of everything, and this thing is not knowable. But I have not found a reference that says they do not believe in statements that are true for all time.
Please back this assertion up with a relevant link. (Technical is fine. I did a minor in Philosophy way back when.)
@jlucchetti -- “Black is black and white is white. Neither torture, maltreatment nor intimidation can change a fact. To argue the point… serves no useful purpose.” P.O.W. Major David F. MacGhee responding to brainwashing attempts by the North Korean , January 19th, 1953
@mn8aol Uhm, completely irrelevant statement? This is a statement about trivial truths... I agree, what you are saying is trivially incorrect. What is your point? :p
(You seem to think giving a quote is an argument, but it really isn't.)
(If you didn't know, that is how debates work. One person says something, and the other person responds with what they think. What I happened to think was that it was completely irrelevant. That does not mean I am declaring myself the discussion moderator. You now have an oportunity to explain why it was not an irrelevant statement. If you can not, then rules of discussions (not me) dictate that it is irrelevant.)
@mn8aol Assuming this is your only response to why it is a relevant statement, it is the rules of discussion that would be dictating your statement is irrelevant.
@jlucchetti -- So what you are saying is that you have 15 minute education on dialectical-materialism and yet have anointed yourself with the power to hold a statement irrelevant.
In a discussion, you are free to make statements about what the other person is saying. By saying I only read on it for 15 minutes, I was specifically saying that I am no expert on it. But prima facie, your statement is incorrect. If I am wrong about you being incorrect, please provide a link which illustrates that you are not. If you do not do so, I will assume (fairly reasonably) that you can not do so. And, you will thus, lose the "point."
@mn8aol What a terrible question to ask someone when they have 500 characters to respond. What do you want from me... I like it? I think it is an exceptional document? The founding fathers did a great job?
@mn8aol You do realize that the founders said that self-evident line in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, right? (History fail.)
Some things are self-evident. I think that the theory of logic has come a very long way since the founders wrote that statement, and I'm not sure many people would write it like that anymore. Again, get to your point.
@jlucchetti - I am not embarrassed at all. I asked what esteem you held the Constitution. And I made a statement that the founders believed in self-evident truths. I never once stated that the founders said this in the Constitution.
@jlucchetti -- How the quote from Klementi Voroshilov. Voroshilow said that in 1919 he persuaded eleven thousand Czarist officers at Kiev to surrender by promising them that, if they surrendered, they, their wives and their families would be permitted to return to their homes. When they surrendered, he executed the eleven thousand officers and all male children, and sent the wives and daughters into the brothels for the use of the Russian army. (none of them lived for more than three months.)
@mn8aol His actions were consistent with him being an evil person. What is your point? Sure, there are evil people. Some of them are communist, some of them are democrat, some of them are Muslim. Some of them are even Republican and Christian. So?
@jlucchetti - Everything I am saying is relevant in a discussion about marxist ideology. Marxists hold that are no absolute truths. Every student who was educated in communist country will tell you that.
@mn8aol I know literally nothing about Marxism (other than reading the communist manifesto), but you were talking about Dialectic Materialism and Communism.
And, at any rate, that story had absolutely nothing to do with absolute truth. Nor did it have anything to do with what you seem to be assert, which is that buying into the communist ideology forces to believe no act is immoral. Again, if this is not what you are trying to say, please explain further.
@jlucchetti -- If you know nothing about marxism how can you say that Edward Hunter has no understanding of moral relativity? Marxism is the foundation of Dialectical-Materialism and Communism. Communists do indeed hold that no act is immoral to attain their goal of world peace (rooted in DiaMat). To a Communist, peace will be when capitalism is gone from the earth. NO act in the pursuit of world conquest is therefore considered immoral.
@mn8aol I can say it because (unless there is more context), "There is no such thing as truth or a lie; and any belief we actually held was simply your being unsophisticated." is an obviously false statement. Which isn't to say some people didn't believe it, but it absolutely does not apply to Communism (or any other ideology) as a whole.
You are ascribing too much to all Communists. There may be certain subgroups of communists who think in such ways, but they would be pretty clearly wrong.
For like the fifth time, for the love of god, dont' just post a link. Say what should be gleaned from it. Is this a citation for your entire previous post? So far it hasn't said anything like what you just said. Please provide a timestamp which you are referring to.
NPR gets so little federal funding, it really makes little to no difference whether it is pulled. NPR is mostly funded by loyal individuals. That NPR receives more funding from corporations won't be 'exposed' by the likes of O'Keefe because it conflicts with his political agenda, and honesty is foreign to him.
@poodlesusan So pointing out corruption, hubris, elitism, hypocrisy, fraud, bias and a total disdain for our nations laws and well being are the core traits of a corrupt organization like NPR and PBS who falsely take public funds is white nationalism? What planet are you from exactly?
James O'Keefe's former employer, the Leadership Institute, acknowledges that O'Keefe "does sting operations to affect legislation", ergo Peter King's "Muslim Hearings" being roundly criticized, King hires a snivelling little propagandist in the form of James O'Keefe to spread lies about terrorism. Exploiting Americans' fears of terrorist attacks is anti-American. Peter King and James O'Keefe are anti-American fearmongers.
@poodlesusan -- Is it "fearmongering" or exploiting "the fear of a people for political ends" to submit that this teacher advocates the use of subversion to effect marxist ideology?
the lefts adolecent love affair from the 50s to the 80s was apparent to anyone with half a brain, communism has failed so they are glomming on to islam which is insane, because under islam they would be the first to go
@100crawma I don't think many people from the left are "glomming on to islam." I think many people are just trying to give a voice to a minority group that appears to be underrepresented and subject to a large amount of prejudice.
@jlucchetti -- The Gramscian marxist call for "diversity," a thesis the left has come to hold as sacrosanct, is at its heart nothing but a subversive tactic. Islamic movements run parallel to marxist goals. There is a larger "minority" having been educated in institutions where marxist ideology has been promoted. The woman in the video exhibits both marxist and Islamic views. Obviously the hegelian-dialetic pitting of one group against another is observable as well. watch?v=oaA4vAR_c9c
@mn8aol Your links seem to have little to do with your comments.
You really need to do some reading on basic logical fallacies. Lets take for granted that some leftists are Marxist. You are saying that since 1) Some leftists are Marxist, and 2) Some Marxists are Islamic, then 3) Some leftists are Islamic. This is just not proper reasoning. (Even this wouldn't support your somewhat absurd claim of "glomming", but w/e.)
(And I think it is "equality" that is held as sacrosanct, not "diversity.")
So I guess this just proves how much people become conciliatory and cautious when they're manipulated into believing someone is interested in giving them a multimillion dollar gift, right? She wanted to get the process started and make an effort to show she was addressing his needs. She also said they would need to find out more about the donor before accepting any gift, even if it was anonymous. What a creepy asshole you are for wasting her and our time like that. I should be listening to NPR.
Based on NPR rhetoric lately kneeling to Islam it would seem they had already taken huge bribes quietly from Muslim groups and more planned. They whitewash Mohammad's rapist, pedophile and murderer qualifications on his "prophet" resume (though he never made any prophecies), note, supposedly their "perfect example". No such thing as "Islamophobia", would be irrational by definition. No, it's quite rational thank you to fear Islam's beheadings, stonings, barbarism and its extreme intolerance.
@ghawk1232 Their purported extreme intolerance met with your actual extreme intolerance.
Please cite specific examples of NPR rhetoric that shows bias towards Muslim groups. And I assume you meant on-air rhetoric, so re-citing these two videos would not be sufficient. (Though I am far from convinced by these videos of even a personal bias in favor of Muslims.)
@jlucchetti 12-year old Jimmie is being offered beer by his classmates and is refusing. They accuse him of being beerophobic. He says, no, that's not the case, I just don't like the bitter taste, the feeling of being drunk, and so on. For saying "I don't like it", they accuse him of intolerance against them. When you honestly state your distaste for policies of beheadings, stonings, etc or the institutional intolerance that *is* Islam, that's merely the guts to not hide from stark reality.
@ghawk1232 the phony MEAC site O'Keefe set up calls for fighting inotolerance. So, you agree with the phony group O'Keefe wants you to believe is a terrorist group with ties to NPR. You are very, very confused.
@poodlesusan If I'm confused it is mostly about your message. Seems perhaps you are unfortunately just not very well educated on the big picture. I have a Muslim friend by the way, super sweet guy, beautiful kids, and I attended the mosque with him once and was treated well, that doesn't change the fact that the commandments in Islam to kill or subdue unbelievers is dangerous poison in our world, or that stoning 14 year old girls to death for refusing to marry particular men is disgusting etc.
@ghawk1232 Do you understand that James O'Keefe is lying? If you do not understand that his own phony website he claims supports terrorism and funds NPR is a sham, and that O'Keefe is a charlatan, then you are, indeed very confused.
@ghawk1232 Perhaps you are not very well educated on James O'Keefe. But arguing that because you have Muslim friends is like James O'Keefe arguing that a group cannot be white separatist if it has a black member. Yes, James O'Keefe did that.
@ghawk1232 "The commandments in Islam to kill or subdue unbelievers is dangerous poison in our world, or that stoning 14 year old girls to death for refusing to marry particular men is disgusting etc."
I agree. Also disgusting: Christian's homophobia and almost everything in the Old Testament (and much in the New). Do you think Christianity is just as bad as Islam? I think both are terrible. I just object to one religion being singled out, when it is no worse than many others.
@ghawk1232 Again, let me ask for specific citations of NPR rhetoric that shows a bias in favor of Muslims. If your claim is true, citations should be easy to find.
If the person in your story then routinely went out protesting beer, telling other people to not drink beer because he doesn't like it, then he could somewhat reasonably be said to have beerophobia. It isn't that his dislike for it is irrational, but he would have no rational basis for such an intense dislike.
@Huboons Reading the thread before posting on it is fundamental. My original quote:
"Please cite specific examples of NPR rhetoric that shows bias towards Muslim groups. And I assume you meant on-air rhetoric, so re-citing these two videos would not be sufficient. (Though I am far from convinced by these videos of even a personal bias in favor of Muslims.)"
Bit of sexual chemistry between those two?

I listened to this, and it doesn't say she would shield them from an IRS audit done against them, only an IRS audit done against NPR. IE make them a typical anonymous donor, like thousands of other Americans and such.
It also states, 22 minutes in, that there is a firewall that makes it so that such donations cannot affect news coverage (IE the money given cannot affects news coverage, and once given is given). So it seems like a legitimate call. I don't understand what your anger is here?

This was in the video itself, and NPR did not accept the money either, because they could not verify that the group in the video was a proper organization to receive money from. So they didn't take the money, or accept it, and in the video actually gave examples of how they would not be able to use funds to manipulate news, using soros guy example.

'We make the rules up as we go along', 'if we cant push a bill through the door [legally], we'll jump the wall, we'll dig underneath, we'll parachute in'...

@mn8aol Your links seem to have little to do with your comments.
You really need to do some reading on basic logical fallacies. Lets take for granted that some leftists are Marxist. You are saying that since 1) Some leftists are Marxist, and 2) Some Marxists are Islamic, then 3) Some leftists are Islamic. This is just not proper reasoning. (Even this wouldn't support your somewhat absurd claim of "glomming", but w/e.)
(And I think it is "equality" that is held as sacrosanct, not "diversity.")

Never trust a Demonrat, and never trust a Muslime. Words to live by.

So I guess this just proves how much people become conciliatory and cautious when they're manipulated into believing someone is interested in giving them a multimillion dollar gift, right? She wanted to get the process started and make an effort to show she was addressing his needs. She also said they would need to find out more about the donor before accepting any gift, even if it was anonymous. What a creepy asshole you are for wasting her and our time like that. I should be listening to NPR.

Based on NPR rhetoric lately kneeling to Islam it would seem they had already taken huge bribes quietly from Muslim groups and more planned. They whitewash Mohammad's rapist, pedophile and murderer qualifications on his "prophet" resume (though he never made any prophecies), note, supposedly their "perfect example". No such thing as "Islamophobia", would be irrational by definition. No, it's quite rational thank you to fear Islam's beheadings, stonings, barbarism and its extreme intolerance.

@ghawk1232 Their purported extreme intolerance met with your actual extreme intolerance.
Please cite specific examples of NPR rhetoric that shows bias towards Muslim groups. And I assume you meant on-air rhetoric, so re-citing these two videos would not be sufficient. (Though I am far from convinced by these videos of even a personal bias in favor of Muslims.)

@jlucchetti 12-year old Jimmie is being offered beer by his classmates and is refusing. They accuse him of being beerophobic. He says, no, that's not the case, I just don't like the bitter taste, the feeling of being drunk, and so on. For saying "I don't like it", they accuse him of intolerance against them. When you honestly state your distaste for policies of beheadings, stonings, etc or the institutional intolerance that *is* Islam, that's merely the guts to not hide from stark reality.

@ghawk1232 the phony MEAC site O'Keefe set up calls for fighting inotolerance. So, you agree with the phony group O'Keefe wants you to believe is a terrorist group with ties to NPR. You are very, very confused.

@poodlesusan If I'm confused it is mostly about your message. Seems perhaps you are unfortunately just not very well educated on the big picture. I have a Muslim friend by the way, super sweet guy, beautiful kids, and I attended the mosque with him once and was treated well, that doesn't change the fact that the commandments in Islam to kill or subdue unbelievers is dangerous poison in our world, or that stoning 14 year old girls to death for refusing to marry particular men is disgusting etc.
ghawk1232 11 months ago
@ghawk1232 Do you understand that James O'Keefe is lying? If you do not understand that his own phony website he claims supports terrorism and funds NPR is a sham, and that O'Keefe is a charlatan, then you are, indeed very confused.

@ghawk1232 Perhaps you are not very well educated on James O'Keefe. But arguing that because you have Muslim friends is like James O'Keefe arguing that a group cannot be white separatist if it has a black member. Yes, James O'Keefe did that.

@ghawk1232 "The commandments in Islam to kill or subdue unbelievers is dangerous poison in our world, or that stoning 14 year old girls to death for refusing to marry particular men is disgusting etc."
I agree. Also disgusting: Christian's homophobia and almost everything in the Old Testament (and much in the New). Do you think Christianity is just as bad as Islam? I think both are terrible. I just object to one religion being singled out, when it is no worse than many others.

@ghawk1232 Again, let me ask for specific citations of NPR rhetoric that shows a bias in favor of Muslims. If your claim is true, citations should be easy to find.
If the person in your story then routinely went out protesting beer, telling other people to not drink beer because he doesn't like it, then he could somewhat reasonably be said to have beerophobia. It isn't that his dislike for it is irrational, but he would have no rational basis for such an intense dislike.

@jlucchetti Search "Buffalo's Muslims Battle Stereotype After Murder" and NPR. A nice little unbiased piece about an honor killing by a Muslim
