Gee DomKen, so being anti-semitic is now,....."an opinion?"

You're claiming a nod of the head is anti semitism?


The article said nothing about "head-nodding."

Yes. Rudy did.

Would you be such an apologist were they "schmoozing" the Israelis? The KKK?

Partial quote from this Article

http://www.current.org/federal/fed1105schillersting.shtml


....."The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept. We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for. Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job."
--------------------------------

If you are talking about R Guiliani refusing $10 mil from the Saudis, he was right to do so.

I am not apologizing for NPR at all. Did you see anywhere that I said it was unfair or dirty pool??

The sting group came to them by the way and posted 12 minutes of a 2 hour meeting.

That statement is unsupported by anything factual and made by a woman who was fired for her role in the scandal, wasn't it?

Perhaps if the entire 2 hour meeting were released, we'd have something more concrete and factual.

ETA: Did you bother to read the linked article?

Can you find any evidence in support of the content of the statement? It certainly didn't seem to me that anyone in the (admittedly edited) video was planning to turn down any donations. Do you suppose they made the statements they made only to end the meeting by standing up and saying: "You know what? We don't want your money"?

I agree that the full video should be released.

Truckin, don't they call that, "trying to put a shine on a turd?"
LOL, imagine that? Using a shoe brush on a turd and realizing that no matter what you do it's still going to look like a turd.

Status: offline 		James O’Keefe, master of the video sting, targets NPR this time, in a pretty damaging interview with Ron Schiller, NPR’s senior vice president for development, and Betsy Liley, senior director of institutional giving.

Its not the same person.

Another NPR executive, Betsy Liley, was at the lunch with Ron Schiller. She said little, although she can be heard laughing when one of the men says his group referred to NPR as "National Palestinian Radio." She has been placed on administrative leave.

Don't you think if they accepted the money Schiller et al would have made sure that was on the video too?
