NPR chief resigns after exec's racism remarks

I saw the tv program on breast cancer and pregnacy. I was diagonsed with stage three cancer and was seven weeks pregnent. I had a mysectomy and started chemo in my second trimester. My beautiful baby girl was born on December 17,2010. She is healthy and happy. There is hope and advancements for other mother's going through cancer. I am currently receiving chemo again and starting radiation. The best part of my day is my daughter that we can over come this!

Somebody needs to light a fire under whoever is calling the shots in this rebel-crisis because

the potential for democratilizaiton will be set back for decades if he or she does not make a decision;

and IF sucessful the balance of power in the Mideast--and the world -- is about to change forever. Thanks

Moonbeam!!!

...brian, please include the full story when framing an issue. That Mr. Okeefe was caught wire tapping a Senator of the US should not be overlooked & that his slap on the wrist was from a judge leaning which way...goes to motive.

Then you chat with the Harlem educator & whine about the cuts to education & that the pain should be spread among the elderly, etc. Did either of you chirp up with...gee, let's restore the tax rates of the '70's. I believe this is the assumed cut off for the decaying of the system through "starving the beast" & not "tax the rich" approach.

No doubt about O'Keefe. He's a smarmy little fellow. Take a look also at the number of those ACORN videos that were selectively edited. Those videos caused a huge uproar and helped ACORN get defunded. Yet after Jerry Brown (while still CA Attorney General) did the investigation into the matter they found hardly anything to be concerned about. There may have been a handful of ACORN employees who did something improper, but the majority saw the "undercover sting" farce for what it was. Of course the mainstream media, which every conservative talking head harps on as being "liberal", didn't devote 5% of the energy in reporting the outcome of that investigation as they did in telling a sensational, alarmist story.

Did this Chief after racism remarks also say, among other racists remarks, "If it wasn't for so many

African-Americans, there would be not be a race problem??? Or was it Rand Paul who is now fuming

over a plumbing problem. Unenlighened both of them
