NPR Mara Liasson rips the GOP a new a-hole

[Dirty Socialist]

NPR’s Mara Liasson ripped into the Republican party today, saying not only does the GOP believe the big lie, it has made the big lie a litmus test for the party. The most scathing report of any kind I have heard on NPR in quite a while. Excellent report!!!

1. I hope NPR posts a link to the clip

A foul and pestilent congregation of vapors is steadily farting its way out of the treasonous Republican Bullshit Condom-Balloon.

2. My problem is not with NPR (far from it). My problem is with...

an American populace that has to be told something is wrong if it has a problem with peaceful transansfer of power and upsetting the rule of law.

Everything is just marks on pieces of paper if we do not make these words work.

14. +1, ... that's why these speeches needed to be made 9 months ago.

4. NPR has been bringing it all day.

And I'm totally here for it!

5. I've been listening to my local NPR affiliate all day.

And you are spot on!

7. I do not believe for one minute that the majority of elected R's in Congress believe the big lie.

The idiot public that watch nothing but Fox and RW media? Maybe.

8. Coming from her...

It's a bit of a surprise. She's been anti-Democrat since Clinton.

9. She's on Fox News every so often

She’s a contributor on there. Funny how that is never mentioned on NPR.

10. Yep. I remember back in the day when DUers called her Mara Liarson.

She always skews a bit to far to the right for my tastes. This is from one who has listened to NPR since 1971 when it all began...

ETA: I still listen to NPR to this day. I love Terry Gross and much of NPR's programming. I don't watch tv, but I get the rest of my nooze from independent sources.

11. Same here...

Though I don't recall exactly when I started listening to NPR, was at least by 1980 but I think it was a few years before that.

12. That's surprising.

She's usually a GOP whitewasher and cheerleader. She never misses an opportunity to express "concerns" about the disarray of the Democratic party. She came to NPR from FOX.

15. I pray they will ... NOT ... be back with their up/down buttons soon
