Good for Palin & Huckabee.

I heard the comment at the time it was made. Williams was just having a conversation about how airplane rides and muslim garb makes him nervous.

Me, too.

I defy anyone to claim that isn’t an understandable sentiment.

He was just talking. He got fired just for talking. Unbelievable.

Defund NPR!

The Ubuntu of political websites.

You said in exactly 5 words what my ham-fisted, rambling screed was trying to convey. I really need to enroll in the "Word Economy 101" course.

I can't go to DU anymore. That place makes me ill.

Agreed. Dirty Underpants is the Internet equivalent of an open sewer.

A very nice statement by Palin! Between this and Huckabee’s surprisingly bold call to do the same thing, maybe people will start taking another look at NPR (which is really nothing but a mouthpiece for the Dems).

I think Juan’s point about a Muslim in “muslim garb” is a very valid point.

Agree. I immediately thought about those flying Imams and their seat belt extenders on Northwest a couple of years ago... I wonder if that is what Juan was thinking about.

NPR might be worried if word gets out about their Mohammad cartoons in the break room and the Koran burnings at NPR HQ.

RE: Sarah Palin calls for Congress to defund NPR over Juan Williams’ firing


I’ll go one better over Sarah... why don’t we DEFUND NPR ALTOGETHER and return the money to the taxpayers?

Let them fend for themselves like the other broadcast stations do.

NPR should have been defunded a long time ago. Williams’s firing is as good a reason as any when we’re trying to eliminate socialism.

Frankly, I’m worried when I see people I suspect to be Muslim even when they’re not wearing Muslim garb. None of the 9/11 terrorists and in fact none of the recent Islamic terrorists here have worn Muslim garb.

But I get worried when I see someone with the strange Muslim beard or a copy of the Koran or anything that indicates to me that they might be Muslims, even if they’re wearing Western clothing.

Sure.

But then, I think any reason’s a good reason to defund NPR.

They can defund NPR right after they make edison bulbs legal again, and allow companies to sell toilets and shower heads that actually work again.

Good for O’Reilly - who had those two idiots storm out of his show when he dared mention that Muslims brought down the Twin Towers. I can’t stand his show and I find him irritating, but you don’t have to agree with somebody on everything to agree with him when he’s right on something. And he’s right on this.

...for President Obama to take notice and speak out.

Don't hold your breath for that hon. We need you to stay on message and you would not be around much longer.

What she said was true. Obviously, “You can’t handle the truth.”

NPR is in a bit of a jam here. Every choice they make and everything they do, from this point on, will be the wrong move. Rats trapped in a rat maze. Oh, the horror of it all.

“At a time when our country is dangerously in debt and looking for areas of federal spending to cut, I think we’ve found a good candidate for defunding. National Public Radio is a public institution that directly or indirectly exists because the taxpayers fund it. And what do we, the taxpayers, get for this?”

**************************************************************

100% agreed. And while we’re looking for other areas of federal spending to cut, I whole-heartedly nominate the abolition of all taxpayer funding for the disgusting, anti-Christian, left-wing National Endowment of the Arts.
