An unknown arsonist broke into the transmitter building of NPR affiliate KUAR in Little Rock on Saturday and briefly liberated the slave state’s airwaves from such Devil’s programming as jazz “music” (no banjos?) and Garrison Keillor. “Saturday around 5:30 p.m., the KUAR transmitter went off the air. Nathan Vandiver, who was on duty, notified Tom Rusk, who headed to the transmitter site. Tom arrived just before 6 p.m. to find smoke coming from the building. He also discovered that the padlock on the transmitter building door had been forcibly removed and another lock placed on one of the other padlocks on the door.” Despite this angel’s heroic attempts to burn down the big-words rade-yuh station and keep the union thug firefighters out of the smoldering librul smut, KUAR is now back on the air. And that has a certain God VERY upset.
I arrived at the transmitter site after the fire had been put out. In addition to the situation with the locks on the door, we also found that a part of the fence surrounding the transmitter building had been pulled back enough for someone to gain access. As far as we could tell, nothing had been taken from the site.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. Mysterious, deliberate, petty ways.
KUAR’s transmitter facilities are insured so I will be working with the insurance company this week.
Usury! Wait, sorry, that sounds rather Cathlic/Muslin. [Arkansas Times via Wonkette operative "user-of-owls"]

I will just assume Huckabee's dumbass son did this.
You are probably right. There wasn't a fire big enough to grill the anus burger he constructed.
Or Bill Ayers. This is right out of the Alinsky playbook.
You know, I'd really like to see that playbook some day. Instead of X's and O's, does it have W's and P's (Workers and Parasites)? Did he prefer the Comrade-On-Comrade defense or the Ruble Package? So, so many questions.
They said nothing was taken from the site… are you suggesting they're missing a bag of doughnuts*?
* donuts? Really?
Huckabee's son… hmmm.
"we also found that a part of the fence surrounding the transmitter building had been pulled back enough for
someonethree walruses waddling abreast to gain access"Five yards wide the door, and three Huckabees may waddle abreast.
Why? Was the fire started using a kerosene-soaked labrador as an accelerant?
If someone had gotten distracted by a new McDonald's billboard and accidentally driven off the road into the building, maybe. But this involves an awful lot of thought and planning for one of his sons.
Obviously a Gleiwitz incident!
Or something. Confused teabagger is confused.
That'll teach NPR to store all their Korans in the transmitter building.
(GASP) IS MO ROCCA OK? He is? FUCK! I hate Wait-Wait Don't Tell Me. It's unfunnier than A Prairie Home Companion.
No no no, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is what they play in purgatory. Whaddya Know with Michael Feldman is what they play in hell.
Talk about a downward spiral. Maybe Michael Feldman was funny at his job 20 years ago, or maybe the people of Monona Terrace are easily amused. I can't bear to listen to it without breaking out into fits of Piano Jazz, with Maryan McPartland.
The arsonist was just hoping to will Glenn Beck's voice on his home answering machine.
Also, while I share your dislike of Mr. Rocca's nasal drone, I like Wait Wait as a whole. A lot. If you dis Paula Poundstone, I shall have to take serious action, such as composing an indignant limerick.
Good for you, Dok. I've known Paula for almost 30 years and she's a wonderful, funny woman.
Cool! Are you one of her 13 cats, the bunny, or the bearded lizard?
I just don't get it. And I have a Monty Python DVD.
Just ONE!? Is that going to be enough?
Depending on the going foreign exchange rate of "getting it," you might need some Black Adder episodes, or something.
Says You.
(No, wait… I like that show.)
Proof that God hates Science Friday.
Blasphemy!
Where else can I hear the Ig Nobel awards?
Ira Flatow should open a chain of restaurants called "TGI Science Fridays," serving generous portions of fun food, with lab equipment all over the walls.
I'll have the margarita-in-a-flask, rocks, salt. The alcohol to mix ratio better be on par..
I'm seeing double…
THAT is funny. You should replace Michael Feldman and take Whadd'ya know to somewhere like Vegas.
This is a completely random act. As we learned from the Phoenix Massacre, hateful political rhetoric has no influence on people's behavior. All of the right-wing, anti-NPR noise from the past month is just coincidental.
It was a random "lone wolf".
Once they arrest a suspect, we will need to pore over their Facebook page to determine his (her? nahhhhhhh) political beliefs.
The random vandal had to burn the NPR station because there probably wasn't a baby killing abortionist close enough for him to shoot or firebomb. One can only do so much good in the name of God.
It can only be a matter of time before the baptists and the pentecostals turn on each other.
They'll both have to finish with the Mormons first.
I'm going to have to agree with OkieDokieDog. This act was committed by a libtard plant in order to discredit the Tea Bagger Movement and save NPR from the budget cutting axe.
I suppose the next act of Left-Wing Terrorism will be to bomb a Planned Parenthood office.
And the next act of Left-Wing Terrorism will be to knock up a prominent Republican's daughter.
I think some asshole played car talk backwards for satanic messages.
Remember that? Didn't they put judas priest on trial for being gay, i mean killing someone who committed suicide?
So, as a tit for tat can we light Rush on fire? Just wondering, really.
Just think of the CO2 emissions as that lard burns off. No, better to use him as a junk shot at Fukushima.
I already proposed it to contain the oil spill, but it didn't work. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_ZUV-Lkz4Lwc/TZ...
Would he burn? I think he has cream cheese for blood.
like an iraqi oil rig, and no one for thirty miles would feel any pain for a fortnight.
Yes, but would he blend????
BlendTech can handle even the most recalcitrant objects. The only difficulty would be finding a blender pitcher large enough.
OK, yeah, never mind, this is a job for an industrial shredder.
I just assumed he would burn in Hell.
whale blubber burns for 40 days and nights
I'm sure Rush's tits already have tats.
Ughhh. Now I have the picture of Rush's Moobs with barbells through the nipples.
Now, add to that "he is glistening".
Greeze fahr fer miles!
"He also discovered that the padlock on the transmitter building door had been forcibly removed and another lock placed on one of the other padlocks on the door"
The arsonist thought they were being clever by bringing their own padlock, probably taken from his wife/sister's chastity belt. I wouldn't be surprised if he came home to a bowl of lard on the bedside table and a couple of corn dogs missing from the freezer. Way to go Lurleen! Keep trying to make sure that your family tree forks one day.
Time to lay off the anti-relative jihad/projection, Barbara_i. They're gone.
I know, I am still partially traumatized. I heard them laughing in my guest bedroom and I joked with Nancy that they were bumping uglies and she said that Frank was farting and holding her head under the covers. Yes, I am serious. *shiver*
Tmi?
Too much inhalation?
I really do think Lurleen just likes a nice, thick, firm corn dog; straight from the freezer. It gets hot in AR.
How do you put another lock on a padlock? I mean, in such a way as to actually lock up the first padlock? Is that a really stupid question in this situation?
yeah don't look for logic in this one.
The police later reported that a scared bearded white fellar was screaming about "Phone Cops" was found near the transmitter while being chased by a black man in a Funkadelic outfit. The black man was later released by the cops as they realized that no adult man would ever go by the name, Venus Flytrap.
It would, of course, be irresponsible to assume that this act of arson was political in nature, or that a conservative might be to blame. It could be simple vandalism, right?
Even if this was politically motivated, I think we need to remember who the real victim is: Sarah Palin.
You made me laugh out loud. You bastard.
while not completely successful, the arsonist did ensure the need for a 120 day pledge drive.
Bastard!
(the arsonist, that is)
Oh god.
Ah shit, you're right.
But with a pledge of just $29.95 a month, the arsonist will be able to get the NPR emergency hand-crank radio and an "All Things Considered" coffee mug.
The terrorists won.
Oh that helps. Now if they could just set fire to every unguarded woman's uterus, things would be great.
Mmm….firecrotch
Someone was, no doubt, inspired by events in the news. There have been reports (and not from concerned Orange County ministers…) about TV stations, etc., being seized by rebels somewhere on the African continent recently.
So, some dumbshit goes about it wrong and the local NPR station gets an insurance-paid complete upgrade in equipment. Win!
Oh, and Spanky2b, go fuck yourself. OK?
Click and Clack are going to go on drunken rampage. I'd get the hell outta the way, Little Rock.
ALL HAIL THE BLOOD-STAINED FANGS AND POINTY SCALES OF THE DRAGON KNOWN AS CARLKASELLCLAW AS HE SPEWS VENOM AND FIRE ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE IN TOTAL BURNINATION!
Just don't ask him to make laser gun noises.

That, btw, is not a laser it is the sound my cat makes. He has a speech impediment.
"and even though a bucktoothed hillbilly inbred dipshit sets fire to a transmitter every time we say it, 'This is NPR.'"
I like WWDTM
Seconded.
But everyone else is right about Whad'ya Know being a warcrime. You couldn't pay me to listen to that criminal misuse of electromagnetic radiation. Not even in this economy.
Wa'derboarding, that's what I know. Ick.
Did you listen this weekend. Dave Barry was on. I thought it was hilarious and love when Paula Poundstone is on. She is so quick witted.
Thirded.
Whatever is after third. (Curse you public school, with yer greedy sumbitch teachers!)
I like it, too. My Saturday is ruined when they play collected clips from old shows instead of a new one, because as a faithful listener I've alrady heard them all.
Unless they play the “clippy must die” clip. That one gets me EVERY time. <g>
Also the news item about the shoplifters who brought a duck along.
I wish Sheriff Joe Arpiao lived in Arkansas. He would bring his mighty tank and super strong robots and White Muscular Jeebus would be guiding him as he slaughtered the evil socialists.
It is getting worse, isn't it?
Does Spanky2b (or whatever he's calling himself today) live in Arkansas?
Bet his cows don't feel that way.
Why, his cows was abuv avrage.
Every one of them.
I thought they took away matches, Bic lighters and anything sharp from the criminally insane? I thought they were supposed to be stripped naked in their cells?
KUAR sounds like alot like Quatar….This man is a patriot burn mosks and NPR. Terry Gross is the devil.
Jack I share your fear of banjos but they did originate in Africa and were a mainstay of string bands which were an incubator of jazz.
The gubmit needs to stop fundin' NPR… Whu, they ain't stopped yet? So yer sayin' they gotta pay for whu I dunn?
-Delbert Q. Dipshit
Is it just me, or does it seem like every time the GOP decides to target someone, some goofy bastard ends up breaking the law in a way that could be tied to said target? Probably just coincidence.

This story shocked the hell out of me.
There's NPR in Arkansas??
Must be some sort of outreach to the 5 to 10% of the state's population that is literate
I usually drive from Fort Worth TX to Santa Fe, NM, about 700 miles, without NPR available, except around Amarillo, TX. Scary.
I expect the radio preachers are pretty entertaining. When I drove between Cincinnati and Sioux City, I had a lot of fun with KXEL, etc.!
I loved that remark. I live near Little Rock and listen to KUAR/NPR every morning. This morning I got in the car and Morning Edition was all staticky (that's the Biblical name for a weak radio signal). Anyway, they splained what happened to the tower and that they were broadcasting on minimal power (biblical for our shit got arsoned).
What the liberal media is not reporting is that last week the NPR affiliate in Texarkana (biblical for three states meet in one point and we're unoriginal) got shot up with a shotgun. ATF (biblical for what we should call convenience stores) is investigating a possible connection.
Oh shit, he's headed north. I need to let KUAF here in Fayetteville know they'll need a squad of heavily satirical Wait, Wait-ers at their transmitters. Maybe even a few sardonic This American Life sapper teams too.
Not where it counts.
Do you enjoy an uncharismatic fellow mumbling to someone off-stage in between "jokes" about random, small Wisconsin towns? Then "Whaddya Know" is for you!
"Wait Wait" is o.k. in my book, but even if you don't like it, it at least is a coherent attempt at entertainment.
"KUAR was slated to move to a new tower site soon. KATV Channel 7 in Little Rock, in collaboration with landowner Deltic Timber, donated space at its new tower facility for public radio's use. Construction on that project was set to begin in about three months."
My intent is not to spam but, KATV….watch out. You might be next.
I want to burn NPR when Speaking of Faith comes on but I change the station instead.
And secretly, deep down in that crazy, lib'rul heart of yours, you realize it would be pointless.
Or I'm a lttle lazy.
Wow, I did not know that there was one shitty NPR show we don't get in San Diego. Pretty sure we had to have 'em all, including Bill Littlefield.
I guess they just changed the name to On Being.
???????
Check this out. If you dare. http://being.publicradio.org/
That show is the worst. The host always sounds like she's on the can, talking through her clenched teeth.
Luckily it's now on at like 6 a.m. on Saturdays or something around here so I never have to hear it.
I feel the same way every time Archer Daniels Midland is mentioned.
Wait for the book?
Okie. I notice you've mastered the local dialect.
Yep.
I guess the guy didn't like the answer he got from the Car Talk guys.
Admittedly, "A Prairie Home Companion" was performing a song about a right-winger breakup. Seriously.
No Duct tape, although shiny and grey, is not a substitute for bondo and sheet metal.
Too elitist. They answered two questions about Volvo's, but none about 1982 Chevy trucks.
It's that accent. When they told him to "fire up the car" he heard "fire up the KUAR"
Well, I believe that's "fahr up the kahr," but why anybody would stick a light up the tailpipe of an 82 chevy is beyond me.
He was pissed that yet again he couldn't understand that week's puzzler.
I listen to radio via live streaming and pod cast. HAHA! Suck my balls, teatard bitch!
Hold on, Sheriff, don't laugh. They'll want to burn the internet down next.
One of my first and favorite posts.
You may be right but I was thinking that the real problem was an insufficiency of Ketchup.
"These are the good years
NPR's ablaze
Life is flowing
Like ketchup with mayonnaise…"
Did he think "KUAR" was the location slated for the next "Unholy Ku'aran" burning hosted by Terry Maxi-Douche Jones? About two weeks late for that one, pal.
cage match: teatard vs. public radio nerd!
who will win?
I bet on the PR Nerd. He/she is smarter and has probably heard an enlightening 20 minute story about how to arrest a charging teatard.
Is the teatard charging up his rover?
Secretly removing the battery to their Hoveround ahead of time?
Cage match? More like a push-fight.
Seems like a poor choice of venue, as the NPR nerd would have to do research to find out what the hell a cage match is. Then again, the new iCageFight app might provide some winning tips.
EDIT: Can we arrange for Peter Sagal to be the NPR combatant? I don't think he's all that tough, but his pre-fight riffs about "The Gamesters of Triskelion" would be epic.
also: i LOVE that movie.
And that has a certain God VERY upset.
Nonsense. I know for a fact that God, like me, adores Lynne Rosetto Kasper's show.
She has the best voice around.
Who downfists such a comment (as mine above)? I hope the downfister has a new jizmrag, but I bet its the same one he uses for a bib.
If it ain't Rachul Ray, Pauluh Dean, or Guy Feeairey, it ain't Real Murkin!
For reals, though it makes me miss Barbara Budd's voice all the more (her replacement's accent is like Palin, but duded up).
It was prolly that thar Duggar clan that done it.
The clandestine mission of this arson attempt was to see Susan Stamberg's hideous cranberry relish recipe go up in smoke once and for all. This will not be our last try.
When on the gallows, you can say, "I only regret that I have but one life to give to preserve the sanctity of America's Grand Day of Gluttony."
Hehe, "singed."
Godzilla?
This was just a dress rehersal for the Reichstag fire.
like an angry crow.
I believe the teatard arsonist is just upset that he thought the April Fools story was real. He wanted those 3D corneas that NPR reported on.
Are the police saying if these sons and/or daughters of Cantrell's Raiders left a Boehner orange trail of Cheetos?
Cheetos washed down with Mountain Dew. Just don't get no better, I reckon.
If that's the best you can do to thwart the Muslim Brotherhood, crazy Arkansans, you're definitely getting sharia'd.
Weird Al Yankovic in UHF?
Troll's loose again. This is what I don't get about them–I can see thumbing down a comment that makes you angry…but a hilarious Weird Al joke? Surely we can come together over UHF.
Hugo Chávez?
Mission Accomplished!
And you put it so much better than my elitist talk about about the Gleiwitz incident above!
Burning Korans, burning flags, burning radio stations. Pretty sure the First Amendment doesn't protect the right to set fire. Just like Second Amendment only protects right to bear arms, not to fire them. We gotta do something about Fire — pass a law or something.
Naw, let's just fire the Republicans, bless their black little hearts.
This is a terrorist act, by the way. Like crashing a plane into an IRS office. Like shooting up a public event with a Representative. &c.
At least on par with setting fire to SUVs in a car lot.
It's only terrorism if a Brown does it. When a white dude (e.g. Tim McVeigh) does it, he's "deranged." Same deal as in Israel: when an Arab blows something up, he's a terrorist; when a Jew does it he's "deranged."
Like plotting to kill judges, like setting bombs on MLK parades, like shooting up agnostics in a unitarian church . . . It's almost like we're witnessing a rising movement of right wing violent stupid.
RAY: You know what time it is, Tommy?

RAY: No, you knucklehead, it's time to play….STUMP THE CHUMPS!
(Theme music plays)
RAY: This is the part of the show where we dig up a caller from a previous episode to see if the advice we gave them was any good. And we're talking this week to Sparky from Arkansas…are you there, Sparky?
CALLER: I'm here.
TOM: And did our advice help you with your problem?
CALLER: Well, yeah, sort of. I went out and I set fire to them transmitters like ya told me to, but the NPR station came back on the air after just a coupla days anyway.
TOM: Oh, mannnn…..
RAY: Sparky, you wacko, we said you were about to burn out your transmission, not that you should burn up a transmitter!
TOM: Doesn't anybody screen these calls? (Hysterical laughter at own wit)

Nice, nice very nice.
Thank you.
Like NPR's go-to gal for all things Berlusconi is going to let a little sexting faze her?
I think we have a new test for retardation, folks. If someone burns something such as a book, or a radio transmitter, because they don't like the content, they are definitely retarded.
Off Topic, but related to the Mad Down Fister:
Sent to IntenseDebate:
OK, guys. Enough. This person is "following" and then "unfollowing" subscribers, giving mass "thumbs down" ratings indiscriminately and otherwise being a pain with the intent of harassing persons he disagrees with. The person changes screen names and then follows people, generating one of your friendly e-mails to the objects of his disaffection. He drops the following and then does it again with a different name with the purposes of harassment in mind. I got two such e-mails today and about ten over the past week or so.
Surely this behavior violates your Terms of Service somewhere. If not, I suggest you make the change and then ban him.
(Don't get mad, get even.)
I say ignore him. He probably gets a lttle stiffy everytime someone mentions his downfisting. And besides, like Ken said, he just adds to the hits Wonkette gets and makes the site more money. Bring it on trolls! Mama needs new panties.
Moar fisties fur mama's panties!
There is no P-rating.
I would think trying to harass a few hundred users would count as a Terms of Service issue. However, I would rather think of how much effort they spend acting stupid instead of doing anything productive at all and how much they are destroying their heart and other organs being angry enough at windmills to spend several hours a day ineptly trolling.
Keep fisting, troll! We can't get enough!
[Shhhhhhh...As long as he's constantly downfisting, he won't have time to start Ken Layne's house on fire.]
I still don't see what people are going on about with emails. Are you missing a "don't email me" setting somewhere?
I sure was. Never saw that. Thanks. Believe me, getting e-mails saying I was being followed by that asshole five times a day was creepy.
Agreed.Then I received measured replies from my fellow posters here, in response to me totally going off about bein' followed.
Yea, it's creepy but what in the world *ain't* (creepy, that is). So guess what? I don't care anymore and you don't need to, either. I upfist you all the time, in point of fact.
So…why should we all give a flying fuck, who is following or who is not?
Marian McPartland must remain on the air until her head slams onto the piano keys.
Senator Lindsey Graham has but to snap his fingers and a bagger answers the call to limit speech by burning the transmitter building where the NPR witch coven meets to the soothing tones of lutes.
Terrorism: you're doing it wrong.
Sent him to blow up a car, and he burnt his lips on the tailpipe.
Stop that! I thought I had been transported back to a Learning Company online game from 1996.
I done hates that there commie fascist NPR. I'm gonna kick its ass. You don't like it, I'll kick your ass. America, Fuck Ya! Fuck you pointy headed liberals. I'll kick all your asses.
And then I'll whine about how violent and lacking in self control liberals are. Fuck yeah.
Benjamin Bradlee?
Christian Slater in Pump Up the Volume?
Reagan?
This is almost like the Reichstag Fire only it's different.

What you did there – I saw it.

Never Provoke Republicans by telling them even a small modicum of truth.

This was a terrorist act, follow closely:
–NPR's parent organization is CPB;
–As its name implies, CPB is a corporation;
–Corporations are people;
–Attempts to "kill" people by burning up their "transmitters" qualify as acts of terrorism.
Quid Pro Ergo Propter Hocus Pocus: This was a terrorist act.

The attack of Pinochet against Salvador Allende started with an attack at the Chilean public radios. Maybe Vanity Fair is right, and that's the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, más temprano que tarde, sin reposo.

Even if some Teanut is guilty, he'll say the devil made him do it because, you know, they believe in personal responsibility. A point of confusion: Do we capitalize the proper name of the heathen down below like we do the name of his good brother upstairs?

Wait, I did that wrong. I meant, of course, Satan. Satin is his fabulous gay brother and Stan is their sort of nebbishy cousin.
What does that make Santa?
Ask Mitt Romney, he's the one who believes they are brothers.
KPFT-FM 90.1, the Pacifica Foundation non-commercial radio station started up on March 1, 1970 in Houston, Texas had its transmitter bombed twice, in May and October of 1970, by a KKK wingnut, and it received a lot of pledges after that. And, the nutter got to spend a long time in Federal prison. A potential cloud with a silver lining and all that, wot?
Now, you aint a fixin to compare no patriot Teatard to no KKK . . .
Never mind.
Naw. Ah ain't. Affer all, the KKK never had to listen to Car Talk, MountainStage or The Thistle & Shamrock back in the day… Makes me think of the Python's fake BBC programs, such as "The Pleasures of the Dance: A Collection of Norwegian Carpenter's Songs," featuring the Trondheim Hammer Dance as compiled by Oscar Trict.

Setting fire to an NPR Transmitter? Baby shit! I want to see someone set Garrison Keillor on fire. If he fought the flames with his usual enthusiasm (that of a man desperately fighting sleep) I'd never have to listen to that laconic sing-song gibberish he spouts, ever again, also, too and as well as.
Did the station play "Here Comes The Sun" ? Because that is just an invitation fer trou b l e. Also, a spot of deja vu, for me.
I say that b/c this story sounds all too familiar. Look it up, KPFT – Houston, TX.
I'd givethe link but I'm not all that tech savvy. Anyhow – "The station's transmitter was bombed and destroyed on May 12, 1970, two months after going on the air. The new station was off the air for three weeks until repairs could be made.
Five months later, on October 6, 1970, *while the station was broadcasting Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant,"* the transmitter was bombed yet again and the damage was significantly more extensive. The second bombing took KPFT off the air for three months. No other U.S. radio station or transmitter has been bombed."
So there you go, Arkansas. Cain't be number one in that neither.
Fuck you , fucking rednecks.
Cain't even be original.
