Juan Williams Loses Job At NPR For Telling The Truth

[Foxfyre]

I thought Fox News was the one who was supposed to dump on the black guy?

Black guys who don't toe the liberal line aren't 'black' any more than women who don't toe the liberal line are 'smart' or 'capable'.

What frosts my tush is that our tax dollars subsidize a large chunk of every NPR station and there's nothing we can do about the liberal bias. Or the sudden liberal fascination and love affair with Muslims for that matter. Apparently Muslims are the new protected class and nobody is allowed to say anything at all critical or truthful about them. If one does so, that person is immediately branded racist, bigot, and intent on destroying the First Amendment.

Makes you wonder if they'll get as much mileage out of that as they got out of accusing anybody critical of the President of being racist.

I wish Williams would sue for breach of contract or something.

I would fire anyone who worked for me that appeared on Bill O's show.

It would show a major fundamental flaw in their character.

The Rockefeller's fund NPR, maybe NPR is a tool of corporations, after all corporations get rich selling green energy by government mandate and NPR has stories about green energy.

NPR is funded by government and corporations, money, nothing like money, only thing better than money is lots of money.

What does an oil fortune gain by funding NPR, oil is used to make green energy, as well as oil money is invested in all the green technologies, one must consider the possibility.

They're ALL funded by corporations, folks.

G-zeus keyrist on a crutch, that isn't OBVIOUS to ya'll, yet?!

The subject of political correctness burst into the news again Wednesday night when NPR fired commentator Juan Williams for saying he gets nervous on planes when he sees Muslims on planes "identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims." And before that CNN fired Rick Sanchez for his comments.

But here's an interesting result from the Rasmussen research: Nearly three out of four Americans say they think that political correctness is a problem.

And a poll last year found that 63% of respondents said they believed that political correctness prevented military authorities from confronting a Muslim, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, before he killed 13 people and wounded many others at Ft. Hood, Texas.

However, nearly one in four of our countrymen (23%) think the country isn't sufficiently politically correct. We need to be even more careful about what we say to each other, lest someone gasp.

<em>Psst!</em> A majority of Americans sees too much political correctness; even more say it's a problem | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

Gee whiz. Another poll stating how out of touch the left is with the rest of America.

I love Juan Williams. This makes me sad.

I wonder why they didn't just send him to a liberal (PC) re-education camp...

I heard he also stopped drinking the kool-aide a while back..

I'm not bothered by Muslims "in Muslim garb", I'm suspicious of those that are not.

 

[JiggsCasey]

I can't wait to see all you guys at the "Rally to Keep Fear Alive!" ... I know you'll all do USMB proud with your vocal support, racial profiling and spooky language.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I am not surprised, afterall this is NPR we are talking about.
He committed the ultimate crime in the liberal world - he said something that only conservatives are supposed to say.

Yup, You're Right....

The Democrats have used all the cards in the deck ... this go around...

See, this is what happens when you wander off the NPR reservation and voice an independent thought:

NPR has terminated its contract with Juan Williams, one of its senior news analysts, after he made comments about Muslims on the Fox News Channel.
On the show, the host,Bill O'Reilly asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.” Mr. O’Reilly said, “The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O’Reilly.
He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

That's kind of funny. I wonder what he thinks about people wearing "black" garb?

"I said to myself, 'If this guy doesn't look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does.' Then I gave myself a mental slap, because in this day and age, it's not nice to say things like this."
-Michael Tuohey, who processed Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari's tickets on 9/11.

Seriously? What a coward, I wonder if he can be charged.

Meanwhile, just keep ignoring the fact that the left insists we have to be afraid of conservatives.

Veteran journalist Juan Williams was fired from his job as senior news analyst for National Public Radio late Wednesday because of comments he made about Muslims and terrorism on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel.

NPR said in a statement that Williams's remarks--including that he gets "worried" and "nervous" when he sees people dressed in Muslim-style clothing on airplanes--"were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."

Williams, 56, made the remarks after the show's host, Bill O'Reilly, asked him whether he thought the United States was facing a "Muslim dilemma." "The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet," O'Reilly said.

Williams, who is African American and writes and speaks frequently on race, told O'Reilly that he agreed with his assessment.
