O'Keefe, Schiller, NPR Remix - Special Guest Stars: Obama, Biden, Dupnik, The Wisconsin Protesters

James O'Keefe, the renowned ACORN-video-sting impresario, released a new video on Tuesday. In the newly released video, NPR executive Ron Schiller - who did not know he was being secretly video-taped by two of Mr. O'Keefe's colleagues - made some disparaging, eye-opening remarks about conservatives.

Schiller is overheard telling the undercover sleuths, among other things: "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. It's this weird evangelical kind of move... it's been hijacked by this group..."

Tea Party members, Schiller says, are "xenophobic". "Basically, they believe in white, middle America, gun-toting -- it's pretty scary. They're seriously racist, racist people."

Mr. Schiller released a statement Tuesday evening saying he and NPR have agreed to make his resignation effective immediately.

The video above is a remix of [a portion of] the original video. I've included, in the remix, special guest stars President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Pima County [Tucson], Arizona Sheriff Clarence Dupnik & 'The Wisconsin Protesters'.
