This is unbelievable. James O'Keefe, he of the Acorn fraud, of the aborted seduction, the unimaginative weasel whose sole game is staging bogus scenarios with his ideological opponents and trying to catch them saying embarrassing things, has done it again, teasing an NPR executive into saying disparaging things about the Tea Party lunatics. I saw the recording; it was tame, I'd say stuff a thousand times more disparaging about those racist morons while knowingly on the air.
But it worked. NPR caved in, suspended the administrator, and now another one has resigned. Why? I don't know. Because the cowards at NPR are afraid that the Republicans are going to kill all their funding, so they are running away from any confrontation with the political party that wants to destroy them, as if that will help.
Don't think for a minute that this craven behavior will stay the budget axe, though. All it has really accomplished is to destroy any interest I have in supporting the organization. Why should I? They've already surrendered to the deranged right wing. Their usefulness as a non-propaganda news source is dead.
Worse, they're giving the Breitbartian vermin a little thrill of power. This isn't the end. How many more news organizations are going to fold in fear before these stupid bully-boys?
