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.

NPR needs to be shut down.

They are operating with tax payer money and should not take sides.

Shut them down.

See, that's the problem, left wingers are so sensitive and lovey-dovey. "Oh, I hurt your feelings, I am sooooo sorry." The foaming at the mouth right wing crackpots on the other hand never apologize about anything no matter how destructive, insane or scurrilous. Have the right wing kooks apologized for lying us into Iraq? Have they apologized for their TRILLION DOLLAR tax payer checks to the military for invading the wrong country and butchering a million innocent people who did nothing to us? Have they apologized for segregation? Have they apologized for oppression of women? Lefties, just shut the hell up and stop apologizing. The right wing kooks only understand belligerent, arrogance and anger. You have to hit em where they live.

Hey, Roy - thanks for pointing me to that cartoon. Just watched it and thought it was on the mark. Nothing offensive about it....

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.
