If military pimps want a war why don't they go fight it instead of flag waving and cheer leading and bumper sticking while sending off other's children to do the fighting, killing and dying?
They are operating with tax payer money and should not take sides.
Shut them down.

NPR does not receive direct funding from the federal government. Less than 2 percent of its annual budget comes from competitive grants from federally funded institutions. The rest of NPR's budget comes from corporate sponsorship, foundation grants, investments and dues and programming fees paid by 901 independent public radio stations.
Is that Glen Beck's latest rant? Why are tax payer dollars being spent bailing out billionaire banksters that robbed us blind? I think that's a much more important question. But of course Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity and the rest of the capitalist apologists would rather throw up a smoke screen for their cronies. It's a lot easier to demonize gays and blacks and the poor and Martha Stewart than bring billionaire crooks to justice. Remember Martha Stewart? The Bush prosecutors went after her like a pack of ravenous Pit Bulls like she was some kind of hardened terrorist ready to blow up the Empire State Bld because she had the nerve to do what the billionaire, insider, old white guys club does a billion times over every day. You think Beck is going to be ranting about that any time soon? Nah, he's making too much dough pimping for his rich capitalist sponsors.
WTF does any of that have to do with what I said? Lay off the meth, man.. teabagging is something gays do to each other. It has nothing to do with Glenn Beck.
You're obviously a young college student. Good luck with that...
edit- your profile says you're gay, so maybe just radical gay guy with an obvious agenda. or both. I'm going to go with both and another opinion I'll just have to keep to myself..
How was this even offensive? It was a rather amusing bit and for some, holds a lot of truth to it and for others, not as much. Isn't that what all satires are - generalizations?
I'm going to ask a few Neo-Cons to remove the stick ...
Well since the left rules for radicals show Airbrain America filed bankruptcy and cannot make it they have nothing else to listen to.
And you know the left wingers hate to pay for anything with their own money.
Sorry, lefties are absolute AMATEURS when it comes to sucking on the public teat. The right wing military pimps like Cheney and corporate robber barons have it down to a science. But of course they hate competition and are constantly whining about the crumbs anyone who opposes their gunboat diplomacy and corporate welfare gets because they want it all. Insatiable greed is their credo.
Halliburton Contracts Illegal - Bush & Cheney Say So What? (http://www.spinwatch.org/-news-by-category-mainmenu-9/157-us-politics/674-halliburton-contracts-illegal-bush-a-cheney-say-so-what - broken link)
According to the GAO's report, Rebuilding Iraq: Fiscal Year 2003 Contract Award Procedures and Management Challenges, contracts worth billions of dollars were awarded without full and open competition, including Halliburton?s oil infrastructure contract.
The GAO found that the Bush Administration violated procurement law when it issued various task orders under existing contracts. Of the 11 task orders examined, more than half were awarded outside the scope of their contracts, according to the report.
They are saying that they really didn't know what was objectionable about their cartoon but it didn't take long for them to find out after the right wing bloggers found out about it.
You may read the whole NPR article by clicking on the "Read the entire article" at the bottom of the Fox page. I don't want people who don't want to see it to have to read it.

I agree.
I thought people were upset with NPR for a distasteful use of the urban dictionary definition of teabagging, but what I found was simple political satire.
