For the cheap seats:
O'Keefe is just another opportunist who's profiting off of the willful ignorance and dishonesty of the neocon parrots and pundits.
It wasn't O'Keefe that put the kibosh on Acorn, but Acorn's own internal screw-up regarding embezzlement and non-reporting of how it was resolved to Congress.
And now O'Keefe gets a fund raising exec giving audience to faux teabagger/neocon hating arabs, and agreeing with them. Pity there's no evidence that Shiller accepted and approved of that donation...pity that Schiller has NOTHING to do with programming or personnel.
As for the female Shiller exec getting canned....that was related to her handling of Fox whipping boy Juan Williams.
Once again, O'Keefe gets more credit than he deserves...yet no neocons want to talk about the little dweebs court conviction.
Whether Congress will bow to the hysteria and pull it's 2-3% funding of NPR is anyone's guess. But then, public contributions to make up the difference is surely not out of the question.
Yeah......they waited 6 months to fire her for wrongfully terminating an employee?
Yes, and unless YOU have some type of document from NPR contracts stating that there's a specific time frame for review and termination on all issues, you're insinuation means nothing.
And where is Mr. Schiller today? He can't even PAY someone to hire him.
And your point?
And what about Ms. Liley? Coincidence, right?
What about Ms. Liley? So far, YOU have made a lot of supposition and conjecture that essentially leaves out a LOT of information. Please state PRECISELY what how Ms. Liley is proof of federal defunding of NPR?
NPR agrees with O'Keefe. They haven't mad even the slightest claim that he misrepresented the evidence.
Oh, and you have the link to the official statement from NPR that says they "agree with O'Keefe"? Remember, they've fired Schiller for expressing personal bias in his job performance...NOT for saying "this is the official position of NPR"...and NOT for taking the money or making arrangements to do so.
And they FIRED the employees in his sting.
You need to get your terminology straight...a "sting" involves catching someone in the actual transaction of monies for fraudulent or disreptuable terms. This was not done....what occured was essentially bad publicity which accented or accelerated actions that were already in motion. Mr. Schiller was already leaving NPR, Ms. Shiller was already on the hot seat.
Is that also part of O'Keefe's master plan and opportunism?
I've already stated what O'Keefe is....and he's already been convicted once for his sleazy dealings.
If it is, he's a ******* genius!
