NPR fires analyst Juan Williams after he says Muslims on planes make him nervous. NPR, those bastions of liberal tolerance, fired Williams late on Wednesday night after he made intellectually honest comments while appearing on the O’Reilly Factor this past Monday. Appearing on the Factor in the wake of the O’Reilly/"The View" brouhaha over Bill O’Reilly’s own politically incorrect (but 110% TRUE) comments about Muslims, Williams said that he gets nervous if he’s on a plane and sees Muslims who identify themselves first as Muslims before anything else. And because of this intellectually honest admission of how he feels and thinks—which many other people likely share and which makes complete sense—NPR responds in intolerant, Nazi-like retaliation and censorship by firing him! There’s no room in America for this overly severe political correctness that NPR has displayed so shamefully. Regardless of what you believe, Juan Williams is entitled to his opinion if that’s really how he feels.

Juan steps off the plantation and into the minefield of liberal PC’ness
Ka Boom.
Let the left self-destruct on their pc nonsense. It’s time for the rest of America to reject the pc premises and realistically deal with the challenges that face our Nation.
STOP REPRESSIN' THE BROTHERS!!!!!
Hah! Maybe Fox will fire him now.
Hey Juan! I’m with ya on this one bud! I don’t trust people that wear shop towels and fan belts on their heads either!
I suspect that is actionable on the part of Mr. Williams. He should lawyer up.

Awesome description.
If only Juan had said something negative about “Evangelicals” or “Catholics”
.... he would have gotten a raise.
This PC nonsense has GOT to stop.... it completely violates our freedom of speech.
Maybe now that Juan has been freed from the liberal chains of national propaganda radio, he can really speak his mind.
I hope that Fox hires him and he just cuts loose on NPR and the mindless fools.
The folks at NPR get nervous around terrorists as well, it’s just they won’t say it. Because they are afraid of being beheaded.
I happen to live in a state that has almost no Muslim population, but yes I have seen them, and when I do I watch every move they make, their mannerism, their asociates.
If I see any group I will get as much video of them as I possibly can, posting it online could build a database beneficial to someone.

Hey Juan - welcome to YOUR party.
Let my people go.” Finally Juan Williams has been freed from the NPR plantation.
Muslims on planes make me nervous, too.
When is Juan going to realize how intolerant the progressive left is????
My eyes popped open when I heard that and I’m not surprised that NPR fired him. NPR should have been cut loose from the federal teat a long time ago.
I usually disagree with Juan but I don’t mind listening to his viewpoints and I do think that he takes some lib talking point positions to keep the debate going.
He and Pat Caddell would make a good pairing.
Now, maybe NPR can hire Geraldo so his sorry face would disappear from Fox forever.
Libs always throw under the bus their own kind. Usual stupidity. I’m not a big fan of Juan Williams, but I like the fact he said what he felt instead of following PC orders by his statist employer NPR. The guy has a right to his opinions.
I suspect there is a little more to this. I bet it’s part of the left’s jihad against Fox News.
I like Juan too. He’s a thoughtful lib who seems compassionate and generally like a good man. Too bad he was fired. But I hope he’s noting the “tolerance” of NPR.
Time to post this again:
The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year’s term was Political Correctness.
The winner wrote,
“Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
His liberal bias is getting shattered by a much more liberal bias... must be hell being a liberal of any stripe right about now. However, he’s right, no one feels comfortable around a muslim... isn’t that what they want? To intimidate into subjugation? Liberals have been subdued and painlessly subjugated. If only they, muslims, can get about half of all moderates and one quarter of all conservatives to cower in fear, then they will fly their flag over the white house...
