"Eat dog food for NPR and DNC. (OK statement to NPR)
"Beware Moslems blowing up planes (Bad statement to NPR)"

I wonder if this will be Juan’s “David Horowitz” moment when he sees liberals for what they are, with their total intolerance for ideological nonconformity. I wonder if he sees now that what conservatives have been saying all along about liberals is true. It’s going to be really interesting to see what Juan Williams does after this.
FoxNews should drop Mara and call it a fair trade.
How does NPR firing an NPR employee marginalize Fox?
I'll bet you a steak dinner the suits at NPR wanted Williams fired a long time ago. They just didn't have enough conclusive evidence until now. It's a lame reason to fire him (free speech). He was simply fired for saying something the suits disagreed with, because liberals don't believe a word of what Juan said on Fox News, because they're guided by political correctness.

The very first move by the new GOP Congress should be to completely de-fund that waste of taxpayer money, NPR.
Just disband the thing.
People are fed up with PC.
Give them a taste of their own medicine.
Juan Williams was fired because he is a regular on Fox. Another NPR reporter was threatened for working for
Fox a few months ago. I guess she’s next up. NPR just took a hundred million bucks or so from George Soros to hire more reporters. Guess which way they’ll tilt? I believe our government still contributes funding to this monstrosity known as NPR. How do you spell “federal budget cut”?
Williams is a racail POS but this shows you don’t upset the masters. Americans are under the illusion they have free speech, freedom of association and many other freedoms they don’t.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Since when did NPR have any credibility in news analysis?
As an aside, I flew home from Italy last week and there was a muslim couple with very young children on our flight, seated 2 rows in front of us. She had on a hijab and he was definitely middle-eastern looking. From the time the plane took off, the man was up and down the aisles constantly. The stewardesses chased him out of business class several times and told him he was not allowed to be in that area of the cabin. At one point he just stood in the kitchen area for over an hour. When our plane landed at JFK, he removed his seatbelt and started milling about again and a stewardess ran up the aisle, screaming at him that it was against the law for him to be out of his seat and if he didn't return to it immediately, he'd be greated at the door by the police. The whole thing was unnerving and I will probably not fly again.
Juan is a likeable guy when he's not pushing liberal perspectives. It's a hard lesson that's he's learned on political correctness.
Another Freeper posted a brilliant comment just this week that made me laugh at the time, but holds a very real warning:
I think NPR should review its policies.
You backed right in to the problem. NPR doesn’t care what Juan Williams thinks about muslims flying on airplanes. NPR simply hates the fact that any accomplished black journalist, Juan Williams in this case, appears on Fox News in any form. One sentence taken out of context was all they needed to fire Juan. It aint about muslims. It’s about blacks straying off the liberal plantation and appearing on Fox News. JMHO.
Spooky Dude Soros probably called NPR and gave the order.
Do people actually listen to NPR? I think I turned it on once to fall asleep.
378?? That’s all it took for them to react? 378 email-ins? If that was a high % of their total listeners, then I could understand! But that is a pretty lame excuse for Ms. Perfect. Some tolerance from the left!
Viewed on a continuum -On the View - O’Reilly is “so radical” that hosts walk off.
Juan is “so radical” that NPR must fire him to protect their “journalistic integrity” - which is known to be a farce.
Media is shunning Fox - trying to present the network itself as radical.
This is a step up over their usual ridiculous anti-Fox attacks, from the likes of NYT. My guess is these are the first steps in an increase in media/Democrat attacks on Fox.
Put it another way - what other opportunity has NPR had to contribute to the anti-Fox attacks? All will take their best shots over the upcoming months. The attacks may make no sense to a conservative - like this one - but to a liberal this was a “big thing” that Juan said.
RE: “I am wondering if there has been. offensive anti-christian remarks and if so can we write anyone?”
Well... How about NPR banning stations which carry “religious” (code word for “Christian”) programming?

I know what you mean about finding it harder to be friendly to liberal friends/neighbors. The stakes are so high now that we have no wiggle room for people who don’t get it. I have a friend who buys into whatever ads run touting the leftist or environmentalist viewpoint with respect to our state propositions for this election, and she is totally uninformed. Whatever the ad says is gospel, no need to check out the claims.
Thanks so much Doc. ...guess that just about answers my question.
Cheers backatcha!
