“I like PBS. I’d like my grandkids to be able to watch PBS. But I’m not willing to borrow money from China and make my kids have to pay the interest on that, and my grandkids, over generations, as opposed to saying to PBS, look, you’re going to have to raise more money from charitable contributions or from advertising.”
- Mitt Romney
What a air-headed remark that was…has anyone been watching Glenn Beck lately? Both organizations are anti-American; please ignore anything they say!
Note that the quote was uttered in 2008, three years ago. It demonstrates a relatively long-standing connection between a hard-left group in Code Pink and the Muslim Brotherhood, and should color the understanding of both groups as we’re told by the Obama administration that the Ikhwan should have a seat at the table in a post-Mubarak Egypt.
