Melyssa, the Tea Partiers hate you. This isn't 2007. The Tea Party changed. It is now almost exclusively the voice and moral embodiment of the Fox News audience.

I liked 90% of what I heard their development director say. He's in a tricky position because essentially, he's in charge of getting revenue.

I appreciated his admission when he stated emphatically that NPR could survive without federal funding. Now we have it on the record from their money guy that are tax dollars are not essential to their survival.

We need to defund a lot of things, and a good case for one of them, was made here.

The all encompassing label he placed tea party Americans as xenophobic, racist, gun toting un-intellectuals, probably alienated a great many 110 I.Q. types such as myself who help pay the tax that funds them.

In that statement he came off less than the "fair and balanced" NPR claims it is.
