NPR Execs Call Tea Partiers ‘Gun-Toting Racists’ According To Hidden Camera Video

Video
» 316 comments

Another day, another James O’Keefe video. The conservative activist, who gained notoriety after releasing edited video footage showing wrongdoing among low-level ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) employees, has now turned his lens on NPR.

In the footage, a man purported to be former NPR senior executive Ron Schiller
(He has since taken on a new role as director of the Aspen Institute Arts Program and Harman-Eisner Artist-in-Residence Program, reported as recently as… Well, yesterday. It’s unknown whether the job move happens to be something other than a coincidence that happens to work in Schiller’s favor) and a woman described as Betsy Liley, the media outlet’s director of institutional giving, are shown meeting with two individuals – Shaughn Adeleye and Simon Templar – who are posing as members of a fabricated organization called the “Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC).” At one point, the fake representatives describe their organization as having been “originally founded by a few members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, actually.”

On the tape, the man thought to be Schiller is heard making disparaging remarks about the the Tea Party movement, opining that they have “hijacked” the Republican Party and calling the movement’s members “really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it’s scary. They’re seriously racist, racist people.” The man then shares his belief that liberals are generally more educated than their conservative counterparts, in addition to being more “fair and balanced.”

He and the two “MEAC representatives” then engage in an awkward conversation about “Zionist” influence on NPR’s coverage, with one of the men from MEAC opining that “Jews do kind of control the media or, I mean, certainly the Zionists and the people who have the interests in swaying media coverage toward a favorable direction of Israel.” The man thought to be Schiller weighs in, saying that there is no “Zionist or pro-Israel” bias at NPR, despite some of their funds coming from Jewish organizations. Of the American Jewish World Service, the man described as Schiller says, “They are really looking for a fair point of view and many Jewish organizations are not.”

He also briefly touches upon the recent firing of former NPR contributor Juan Williams for his comments about Muslims on Fox News – a network often regarded as NPR’s ideological opposite.

What NPR stood for is non-racist, non-bigoted, straightforward telling of the news and our feeling is that if a person expresses his or her opinion, which anyone is entitled to do in a free society, they are compromised as a journalist. They can no longer fairly report.

Take a look at the footage and form your own judgments:

    We agree, no more funding for NPR…besides, they want to get in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood.

    “What NPR stood for is non-racist, non-bigoted, straightforward telling of the news”

    Oh, unless it’s a riveting article by some hispanic chick about how glad she was Jared Lee Loughner turned out to be a gringo! Haha, don’t ever change, NPR! (Except for the part where you use taxpayer money to peddle your nonsense. Stop that, please.)

  • Harry Flashman

    Hey, I have an idea…..

    Let’s keep giving NPR our tax money so they can continue to despise the largest demographic (and therefore the group that pays the most taxes) in the country.

    I don’t mind that a part of my taxes goes to a group of uber-liberal broadcasters who think I’m some sort of knuckle-dragger without the intellectual capacity to understand their oh-so-enlightened views.

    Do you?

    What he really means is that NPR journalists cant give opinions that diverge from the left wing narrative. I say this because its been widely shown that NPR “journalists” regularly give their opinions and nobody seemed to mind.

Why is Britebart or whatever his name is not back at Fox, because he is a disgrace, Fox don’t want to be seen with him.

    Also, the irony of attacking people for their skin color and calling them “scary”. Also, the way he labels all tea parties racist and “gun toting”, when you could probably count the examples on one hand. Does the left ever get tired of being utter hypocrites?

    I guess free speech will be dead soon. Big Brother O’Keefe is watching.

    The interesting thing is that the Tea Party IS the ticking time bomb of the Republican Party. Or maybe a better way to say it would be that the Tea Party is the Timothy McVeigh of the Republican Party. They already put their people in place in the ’10 elections.

    By all means lets defund NPR and the arts. Make the world a grayer place.

    The fellow obviously shouldn’t have taken off his NPR hat because it protected him from venturing into troubled waters and by removing it, he’s contributed to whatever stink O’Keefe and his benefactors can raise over a few relatively benign statements of personal opinion and he’s probably cost NPR some direct funding.

    My guess: The “station economy” may escape unscathed, but maybe not NPR.

    Otherwise, I have to say about this further step down O’Keefe’s prank style of “journalism”, I’m still not sure what it proves. In this instance, a guy charged with raising money for a foundation spoke a little too freely with his personal perspectives, but they kept trying to egg him into saying something they feel embarrassing (like Muslims are getting a bad rap) and it seem to be just a couple of shades different than his trying to get a CNN reporter to have sex.

    Yeah. Schiller went off-script and he’s apparently resigned, but a lot of the latter portions of the tape is like a high school kid putting on a poor accent hoping to trick someone into embarrassing themself for a YouTube prank.

  • The Dweller Ysul

    I think the NPR folks come off fine, here. All the ham-handed (no pun intended) attempts by the faux muslim brothers to elicit anti-semitic responses were met first with awkward-appearing silence, and then Schiller steps in–ignoring the Jews-control-the-Media bait–to clarify that all the pertinent interest groups, Jewish and Muslim, seek to control the message, as they are free to do. And these are presumably the worst bits (yeah, I know they promise more, in typical you-won’t-believe-this fashion, but we’ve seen how that normally works out). One can only imagine what a hidden camera would capture if similar Jew-baiting tactics were to be used on O’Keefe and his American Renaissance palls.

    Like a reasonable human being, I’d take the necessary steps to check the source. If I know the source is a known trouble maker, a moron that set people up and make up stories, twist words, edits tapes to make his victim look bad, then I’d just call the cops to arrest him (for trespassing).

  • lane

    Will be interesting to see the coverage once the entire, and I mean entire unedited version is published. There’s way too much ‘context’ missing so far. Unlike ACORN, where the advice on how to evade taxes for child prostitutes is despicable regardless of context, reactions are all about context since fundraising is a sales meeting really. NPR is supposed to be about all points-of view really.

    I have a much bigger problem with NPR’s executive salaries than their liberal POV. Ms. Kerger $632,233 for PBS President means NPR is making enough profit from merchandising to stop fed funding. That’s simply crazy. Defund NPR.

    Mike Wallace & 60 Minutes generally tried to catch people doing or saying something illegal, while this crew seems to spend most of the latter half of the tape trying to get the fellow to say something embarrassing or which they would perceive and could sell to their audiences as embarrassing. In my mind, illegalities and embarrassing are two different things.

    This is definitely the weakest of the three videos O’Keefe has made, the pimp and Shirley Sherrod videos were way more damning at the outset, we now know they were both heavily doctored so I am sure this one was as well, but even with the heavy editing the VP said nothing that was controversial. In fact the fake MB guys were horrible trying to lead him down the “Jew conspiracy” path and he didn’t bite, can’t wait for the backlash against Breitbart and O’Keefe on this one it should be legendary and probably take them both out permanently.

    It’s actually all about timing. Jim DeMint is publicizing the huge salaries of NPR execs, the video once again, shows NPR shows hatred to ‘red state’ Americans with their guns and bibles. I think O’Keefe’s work is impressively impactful. But, I still don’t like the edited tapes being released before the full versions. I see the media strategy to dribble the pieces out, to push the stories out over a longer-timeframe. But, I want the context first…

    I do think NPR deserves to lose its federal funding. NPR should present all viewpoints, and needs to pay reasonable salaries like other well-run non-profits.

    Huh? Same standard for Rupert and Fox News? Wait, don’t bother. You won’t come out smelling very pretty. ;)

    Fox shows their bias consistently. They doctor photos of liberals and doctor videos to make their rallies seem bigger. They complain about how the Republican president was treated then do the same to a Democrat all the while promoting themselves as fair and balanced. THAT is why Fox is biased, not their owners.

    2) He then OPENLY states that the government can shove its money up its rear end.

    3) He then refuses to take the check from a shady organization.

    At the heart of the Leftist philosophy on race relations is an explicitly racist proposition. That blacks are incapable of doing for themselves without whitey’s help.

    As for whether there is any actual real racism going on at Tea Party rallies, its a fair bet theres a good chance any racist sign or member is actually an infiltrator. It has happened so many times now that they are almost instantly smoked out. And since Leftists reflexively consider everything about conservatism is racist, Tea Partiers are therefore racist.

    Not this again……More proof that teabaggers are retarded….

    On December 7, 2009, the former Massachusetts Attorney General, after an independent internal investigation of ACORN, found the videos that had been released appeared to have been edited, “in some cases substantially”. He found no evidence of criminal conduct by ACORN employees, but concluded that ACORN had poor management practices that contributed to unprofessional actions by a number of its low-level employees. On March 1, 2010, the District Attorney’s office for Brooklyn determined that the videos were “heavily edited” and concluded that there was no criminal wrongdoing by the ACORN staff in the videos from the Brooklyn ACORN office. On April, 1, 2010, an investigation by the California Attorney General found the videos from Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino also to be “heavily edited”, and the investigation did not find evidence of criminal conduct on the part of ACORN employees. On June 14, 2010, the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) released its findings which showed that ACORN evidenced no sign that it, or any of its related organizations, mishandled any federal money they had received.

    This is self evidently ridiculous. Its clear you have never been to a Tea Party rally or know anyone who has. It is an axiom that Leftists without evidence, reflexively consider any criticisms of Obama’s policies as racist rather than criticism of the policy itself. It is a conceit born of the racist belief that blacks speak only with one voice politically and that blacks whose views are in agreement with theirs are the only “authentic” blacks. Somehow however, criticism by the Left of conservative blacks, much of it often accompanied by vile epithets referencing their race, is not considered racism. How does that work?

    This also shows an overall ignorance of the aims of the Tea Party, which is to restrain and reduce the growth of government and to lessen taxes, to which end Tea Party groups all over the nation have routinely gone after Republican politicians they believe are not sufficiently committed to those principles.

    Ugh. Just watched this video, on another site- it’s not at the “NPR Responds To ‘Sting Video’ And Clarifies Ron Schiller’s Departure” story, which I found first.

    Schiller identifies himself as being with NPR with his statement “I have to take off my NPR hat”.

    I find his comments highly distasteful. It seems that when talking to the “Muslim Brotherhood” MOST of the people in the US are ignorant, being a Republican makes it worse, and the radical Tea Party of course is beyond the edge. Obviously worst than the radical Muslims – and they kill people who disagree with them.

    Whenever I do listen to NPR, I’ll be listening closer for the bias – if someone like this is or was in charge, it will be there.

    Oh, someone tell the prank caller in Wisconsin that he’s been topped over and over again.

  • catfishjuggling

    Let me just throw this out there for the debate. So we object to the funding of NPR with public funds because some of us object to the views of this one employee? So where do we go with this?

    Should the left not allow an athlete to compete with US funding if he was pro-life?
    Perhaps no astronauts who support gun control?
    Stop park rangers who like school vouchers?
    Maybe no engineers in the Army Corps who believe in God?

    We are a big diverse country with differing opinions and no matter what there will be people in the public space who have differing views and who may not even like you.

    You know, if I read any of this as someone from outside of the US, I’d wonder what was so great about the place. Best I can tell half of the country hates the other half and thinks it is trying to destroy the place.

    You people need to calm down already.

    This is actually turning into a very enlightening moment for those “independents” and fence sitters. Normal people know that the tea party people aren’t a bunch of rabid racists, but with this tape, and the proggy dilemma of having to either be truthful about their hatred, or condemn that which they agree with in their tiny brains, will be opening a lot of otherwise naive eyes.

    Not this again……More proof that teabaggers are retarded….

    On December 7, 2009, the former Massachusetts Attorney General, after an independent internal investigation of ACORN, found the videos that had been released appeared to have been edited, “in some cases substantially”. He found no evidence of criminal conduct by ACORN employees, but concluded that ACORN had poor management practices that contributed to unprofessional actions by a number of its low-level employees.

    Yeah, which if they can’t run a clean house, why are we funding them? We’re not anymore, on a very bipartisan basis. Harshbarger also had this to say:

    But the most damning words match the transcripts and the audio, and do not seem out of context. Harshbarger’s report to Acorn found no “pattern of illegal conduct” by its employees. But, he told me: “They said what they said. There’s no way to make this look good.”

    There was no illegal conduct because there wasn’t really any prostitution or child trafficking. But they didn’t know that.
