New Animation: "Learn To Speak Tea Bag"

like I said, rude

You could have just said "no"...

you could of just admitted you're always rude.

see ya

And what was the point to this thread again? Steph?

NPR is mostly privately funded.

do they receive funding from the government?

do you even know how much, if anything, Mark Fiore was paid by NPR?

According to the 2005 financial statement, NPR makes just over half of its money from the fees and dues it charges member stations to receive programming, although some of this money originated at the CPB itself, in the form of pass-through grants to member stations.[12] About 2% of NPR's funding comes from bidding on government grants and programs, chiefly the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the remainder comes from member station dues, foundation grants, and corporate underwriting. Typically, NPR member stations raise funds through on-air pledge drives, corporate underwriting, and grants from state governments, universities, and the CPB itself.

Over the years, the portion of the total NPR budget that comes from government has been decreasing. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the majority of NPR funding came from the federal government. Steps were being taken during the 1980s to completely wean NPR from government support, but the 1983 funding crisis forced the network to make immediate changes. More money to fund the NPR network was raised from listeners, charitable foundations and corporations, and less from the federal government. Major donors are listed on the NPR web site.[13]

I figure if Bush could spend a million dollars of our money finding out if prayer heals people and millions and millions more funding absintence only programs that don't work, that the 2% of NPR's dollars that it gets from public funds is ok with me.

cheers, stephie... happy new year.

and the video was really, really funny.

Ah the irony of this video is hillarious. Plus it made me chuckle several times

You could just switch the arguments around and it sounds just like far left progressive...or leave it as is and it sounds like some wacked out version of a tea-party person. Proof of this...ok read this thread http://www.usmessageboard.com/healt...l-not-the-health-care-bill-3.html#post1869040

Very universal point the video makes though, the idiots on both sides of any issue are just that...idiots.

Jillian dear, no matter how you spin it, Npr still receives taxpayers money and take donations from the Amercian people.. they are now posting ugly videos putting down a segment of those same American people who they take from..
I'm not going to argue about it with you, if you don't see a problem with it, fine..but if any of you do here, contact Npr and your congresspeople and tell them no more taxpayers monies for Npr.

Most of NPR's money comes from donations, stephie honey. I'm pretty sure the tea bag types aren't giving their money to NPR.

It appears, though, that now your objection isn't the use of governmental money, since you don't know if the animator was even paid.

Now your objection is to content... so you think NPR should be censored.

hmmmmmmm... the islamists felt that way about the dutch cartoons.

She does have a point Jillian....yes its not the only money they take but they do take public tax dollars. Therefore, like the churches, should not be political in nature.

Remember people wanting to and taking away tax exempt status from churches talking politics last election cycle? The church doesn't even get money they just get tax exempt status....NPR has both.

But still i get a kick out of the video and its point that idiots are idiots (and like i said put some liberal diatribe in the place of the tea-bag stuff and the video would work too).

I think we should take what one commenter said over there, and start calling all liberals, cxxksuckers..how bout that.?

and the Islamist wasn't protesing a cartoon that was being paid with taxpayers monies through the FEDERAL govermnent.. the people have every right to ask that our money be cut off for this...Enjoy

Hey let them continue. When Americans recently polled had a much more favorable view of tea partiers than they did either the Republican or Democrat party--they are just digging their own graves by insulting them.

Here it is:

jill...it seems as though Tea-Bagger Apologists don't know WHAT to complain about anymore, so they lash out like caged wilder beasts to any and every thing even remotely "other" to them.
