Stupid D-Baggers (we'll just say the D stands for Dems) have no clue.
Something LOL funny occurred to me about this story. Schiller believes he is talking to a Muslim Group. He says "I think what we all believe is that if we don't have Muslim voices in our schools, on the air - I mean it's the same thing... we faced as a nation when we didn't have female voices."
Does he understand the Muslim Fundamentalist beliefs, Sharia law and the record of most Muslim countries regarding the "Female voice" and Women's rights?
ROFL!!! Sorry. This just occurred to me and I had to share.
Here is the transcript

RON SCHILLER (President, NPR Foundation): I think what we all believe is that if we don't have Muslim voices in our schools, on the air - I mean it's the same thing we faced as a nation when we didn't have female voices.
The current Republican party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian. I wouldn't even call it Christian; it's this wierd evangelical kind of move.
The current Republican party is not really the Republican party, it's been hijacked by this group; that is, not just Islamaphobic but really xenophobic. I mean, basically, they are, they believe in sort of white, middle American, gun toting -- I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people.
Now, I'll talk personally - as opposed to wearing my NPR hat. It feels to me that there is a real anti-intellectual move on the part of a significant part of the Republican party. In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives.
Well, to me, this [Egypt] is representative of the thing that I, uh, I guess I am most disturbed by and disappointed by in this country; which is that the educated, so-called 'elite' in this country is too small a percentage of the population, so that you have this very large, uneducated part of the population, that, that carries these ideas.
It's, it's much more about this type of anti-intellectualism than it is about a political. A university, also by definition, is considered in this country to be liberal, ah, even though it's not at all liberal. It's liberal because it's intellectual -- pursuit of knowledge and that is traditionally something that Democrats have funded and Republicans have not funded.
So, particularly Republicans play off of the belief among the general population that most of our funding comes from the Government. Very little of our funding comes from the Government; but, they act as though all of it comes from the Government.
It's about 10% of the total station economy. The total station economy is about $800 million a year; and about $90 million comes from the Federal Government.
Well, frankly, it is very clear that we would be better off in the long run without Federal funding. And the challenge right now is that if we lost it altogether, we would have a lot of stations go dark.
Speaking to why he felt that way: I think for independence, number one. Number two is that our job would be a lot easier if people weren't confused -- because we get Federal funding, a lot of Americans, a lot of philanthropists actually think we get most of our money from the Federal government; even though NPR, as you know gets 1% and the station economy, as a whole, gets 10%.
NPR would definitely survive and most of the stations would survive.
Speaking of Zionist influence at NPR: I don't actually find it at NPR; the zionist or pro-Israel even among funders. No. I mean it's there in those who own newspapers, obviously; but no one owns NPR. So I, actually, I don't find it ... Right, because I think they are really looking for a fair point of view and many Jewish organizations are not. And frankly, many organizations, I'm sure there are Muslim organizations that are not looking for a fair point of view. They're looking for a very particular point of view and that's fine. We're not one of them. I'm gathering that you're not, actually.
And even around the Juan Williams issue, we had a very long discussion and they all agreed in the end -- well of course you had to fire [Juan Williams]; but why they won't say that? [shaking his head] In all of the uproar, for example around Juan Williams, what NPR did, I'm very proud of and what NPR stood for is non-racist, non-bigoted, straightforward telling of the news.
Our feeling is that if a person expresses his or her opinion, which anyone is entitled to in a free society, they are compromised as a journalist. They can no longer fairly report. And the question that we asked internally was - Can Juan Williams, when he makes a statement like he made, can he report to the Muslim population and be believed? And the answer is no. He lost all credibility and that breaks your basic ethics as a journalist. (To be continued.. TheProjectVeritas.com)
