O’Keefe: More Controversial NPR Videos to Come

There’s more video where that came from, says James O’Keefe, the muckraking activist behind TheProjectVeritas.org. The controversial video-sting impresario tells Newsmax that he’s prepared to release yet more embarrassing revelations about NPR, but first he wants to gauge NPR’s reaction to the bomb he dropped Tuesday.

In an exclusive Newsmax interview, O’Keefe says he’s waiting to see whether NPR comes clean “about what is going on” before he doles out more video.

On Tuesday morning, O’Keefe released undercover video showing a top NPR executive, Ron Schiller, making disparaging comments about a broad swath of Americana, including Christians, Jews, evangelicals, Republicans, and tea party members.

Embattled NPR, which faces a tea-party led push to yank its taxpayer funding, quickly responded with a statement that it was “appalled” at Schiller’s statements. Schiller, who was NPR’s chief fundraiser, was president of the NPR Foundation and development vice president for NPR, at the time the surreptitious video was recorded in February.

“We’re not done releasing footage,” O’Keefe told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “We have more investigative material that we’re going to release.

“I’m not really going to comment on it yet, but I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with this story as it develops,” he promised...

More @ NewsMax...
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

That may be the reason behind Viv Schiller's firing. The board may have asked her to spill everything that she knows about the incident and they decided to act quickly having learned from ACORN.

I wondered about this when the story broke. When you think back on the ACORN story and how O'Keefe kept dribbling out more and more video, well, there was a pretty good chance that this one was going to be played the same way.

So, I am wondering if the meeting on video released the other day was the only meeting. Do you suppose O'Keefe has other NPR execs waxing eloquently about FNC, Jews, the Kochs, Republicans, etc?

Please. Please have a video of the board meeting where Vivian Schiller's "resignation" was discussed.
Please, please, please . . .
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

That would be what's called "conservative porn."

I wonder why NEWS MAX referred to O'Keefe as a "muckraker" . That term used to carry a negative connotation .

Maybe this next release he reveals his financial ties to Al Qaeda and tells NPR they are eager to feed them millions of dollars and Schiller is salivating uncontrollably?!

Holy Schnikies!

New video released Thursday afternoon indicates National Public Radio intended to accept a $5 million donation from fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust – and that the publicly funded radio network might have helped MEAC make the donation anonymously to protect it from a federal government audit.

When a man posing as Ibrahim Kasaam asked, “It sounded like you were saying NPR would be able to shield us from a government audit, is that correct?” NPR’s senior director of institutional giving, Betsy Liley, responded, “I think that is the case, especially if you are anonymous. I can inquire about that.” According to conservative James O’Keefe, whose Project Veritas organization conducted the NPR sting organization, the man posing as Kasaam made two follow-up phone calls to Liley after their lunch.

Liley said a $5 million donation would amount to about “10 years of support.”

Kasaam follows up by asking: “The fact that NPR is not only a tax-exempt organization, but also receives direct contributions from the government — does that invite some sort of government oversight or government examination of contributions, et cetera?”

Liley answered: “They have audited our programs at times and, I think, as part of that, they can look at our audited financials. If you are concerned in any way about that, that’s one reason you might want to be an anonymous donor. And, we would certainly, if that was your interest, want to shield you from that.”

Liley mentioned a precedent at NPR — in more than $80 million in donations from universities.

“As I said, like this guy that I used to work with who gave – where I used to work for the university, I don’t know, $5 or $10 or $12 million, he was just entered into the database as anonymous,” Liley said. “I knew who he was and about five other people did, but there was no paperwork in any official place that identified him as that donor.”

Much more, including video, @ DailyCaller...

uhhhh EDITED!!!! Yeah, that’s it. The tape was EDITED! HEAVILY! It’s a trick! Uhhh, James O’Keefe is a convicted CRIMINAL! Yeah, that’s it. Discredited! James O’Keefe is a DISCREDITED CRIMINAL WHO HEAVILY EDITS LIBERALS! Ron and Betsy didn’t actually say what you hear on the tapes because RON SCHILLER IS A REPUBLICAN! Yeah, that’s it Ron’s a Republican. Only a Republican would say all those nasty things about Jews! That is what NPR’s Ombudswoman said. I read it on her Tweeter so it has to the the TRUTH! And, and they didn’t take the money! Because they don’t need no stinkin Federal Dollars.

Where’s my medicine???!! I NEED MY STINKIN MEDICINE!!! AHHHHHHHHH!

Glenn Reynolds @ instapundit says:

“Wasn’t the idea of private groups with political influence accepting money from shadowy, sinister donors a big issue in the midterms for Democrats?”
