Republican Senator Jim DeMint has confirmed that he will introduce legislation to cut federal funding from NPR


Republican Senator Jim DeMint has confirmed that he will introduce legislation to cut federal funding from NPR after they fired analyst Juan Williams for makinginsensitive comments about Muslims on Fox. The Right’s war on NPR has begun in earnest!


Last night The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly followed his Fox colleague Mike Huckabee in calling for “an immediate suspension of all public money going to NPR” because of Williams’ firing. He also added, “We understand [South Carolina] Senator Jim Demint will legislation to defund that enterprise. No taxpayer money should be going to an outfit that abuses free speech.”

Wild Thing's comment.......


That NPR CEO Vivian Schiller is really horrible.

The thing about this whole thing is that it is happening to many people. PC has destroyed so much of our freedom of speech and that is what this is about. Juan simply stated how he felt and he got fired. We have heard about this kind of thing happening with others, and schools doing this to students as well. It has to be stopped.

Nice effort , but it will never happen.

NPR has been in existence for too long, plus the Progressives are not going to cut off their mainand only alternative to Rush, Sean, Mark Levin and the other Conservative Talk Show hosts.

What is NPR's audience? Is it more than a couple of percent? The taxpayer is probably subsidizing NPR to the tune of a lot of $$ per listener.

Well how about that kid at a New York City Rally anti mosk at ground zero. He burned a koran or at least a few pages and he got fired for it. they burn our flag, stomp on it, piss down our back and tell us its raining but that's ok. But god forbid someone tell the truth about these gutless MFers and they want the guy fired.

Screw these muzzies, camel humpin sons of bitches.

Sean, I did not know that, thanks for the information.I didn't know it has been around a long time.

I was hoping that because Juan is a democrat it might make a difference. Guess it won't matter to them.

Tom, I honestly don't know that much about it, I guess it also pays for any public things in the media. Maybe it is also connected to PBS in some eay not sure.
