NPR insults taxpayers

[ Tea Party ]   

The taxpayer-funded National Public Radio has decided it’s time to insult a large portion of the American public. Introducing… learn to speak teabag.

First, I have to say — it always floors me how liberals will so easily try to act as if its conservatives who run around screaming “NAZI!!” over and over again. After eight years of “Bushitler” and liberals smearing George Bush and Republicans as fascists and Nazis, it seems more than a little hypocritical to me for them to then act as if it is the favorite catchphrase of tea-partiers. It’s liberals who like to call people Nazis, not conservatives. And, by the way, NPR — calling someone a socialist is not a paranoid insult if it’s true.

Anyway, the video is absolutely devoid of any kind of intelligence or creativity. It’s not even funny. The most ludicrous part is that the entire Tea Party movement started well before Obamacare was even a big issue. Tea parties started springing up around the nation because of the stimulus package and overspending by the Obama administration and Congress. Yet, according to this video, the entire movement is concerned only with stopping government run health care. It ordinarily wouldn’t be the kind of video that people get all riled up over, except… NPR is taxpayer funded. They are using your money to insult you. And of course, like a typical liberal, they have to slide in a snide sexual undertone to everything associated with the tea parties. Doesn’t that really say more about liberals than it does about tea partiers? (One might think that the only people obsessed with sex are the ones who… well… are perhaps a tad deprived.) You expect this kind of thing from Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, but… well, I guess I can’t say that I’m completely surprised that NPR did this, either. But all the same, a taxpayer funded organization should perhaps not be insulting the very people who are keeping that organization alive. Without our money, NPR would have long since ceased to exist by now.

NPR is gleefully making a ridiculously idiotic video featuring an insult worthy of a seventh-grader, all to insult a large portion of the American public. Rather than listen to what these Americans are saying and perhaps offer a thoughtful criticism, they’re just insulting them — with taxpayer money. Perhaps its time to let them die a quick death, Air America style.
