I know that other people on FR don’t like Juan, but I kinda like the Guy. Now when he wrong he is really wrong and I could ring the guy’s neck. But I have been in agreement with him on some issues, especially when he takes off the political glasses and uses his common sense. Just my humble opinion of the Guy.
NPR is so wrong with this, I never listen to NPR, so I am wondering if there has been. offensive anti-christian remarks and if so can we write anyone?

Soro's wants Glenn Beck but they got Juan instead.

I can see Soro's saying, "Not The Black Guy You Idiots. I paid A Million Dollars For This?"

Ha, Ha.

Now Juan is discovering what we knew all along: NPR is a hopelessly liberal taxpayer funded institution with NO courage, sense of humor or class. NPR should have been cut loose from public funds years ago for sins against the public good. It chose hard left opinions, friends and donors, and the steamroller of sneering liberal crap kept rolling for 4 decades.

NPR wouldn’t last a month in the free market. it should die a grisly death along with the National Endowment for the Arts.

ps: I’m an art lover.

I have also grown to like Williams, he seems to be more reasonable and open to ideas other than the Leftist doctrine. This ought to demonstrate to him how very tolerant the Left really is. Maybe we’ll pick up another convert.

I agree. Juan’s definitely some misguided. However,

This is totally a ploy by NPR to gain media attention.

I think it’s Foxphobia. NPR didn’t like Juan being on Fox, and this was the first time he’s crossed the line just barely enough for them to can him.

Fired because he admits being nervous when on a plane with people dressed like terrorists. Amazing. Can we fire NPR. What do we need them for?

Also on Fox tonight:

A recap of Whoopie Goldberg insisting that...
"They weren't muslims, they were extremists!"

(Extreme what Whoopsey?)

Since NPR is a government entity can they stifle free speech like this?

Omit but a single letter from the byline:

“Juan Wiliams caned by NPR”

As in whupped, spanked, or otherwise disciplined by the plantation overseer as a runaway....uh, you finish the thought.

Just sayin’.

Roger Ailes will probably give Juan his own show on FNC now. What NPR did was stupid, stupid, stupid ... Juan being let go from NPR is only going to HELP - HELP - Juan’s career.

I wonder if the Congress will actually start to cut off the money supply to all the Communist Front groups like NPR.

Juan is often an utter idiot. When Britt Hume was hosting the flagship news hour for FNC, he couldn't help himself many times from smacking down Juan's often moronic position. But, his stint at FNC has exposed him to another way of viewing the world, and he's not as big an idiot as he used to be.

I assume his firing is more of a terror strike on NPR staff who hang out at FNC than it is an honest expression of horror at his words. I believe Nina Totenburg was asked by NPR, perhaps a year ago or so, to quit appearing on FNC. She cut back her appearances, but still shows up now and then. However, I have noticed that she, like Juan, seemed to be on a trend line toward reasonableness, but since her warning from NPR she's reverted to progressive type.

Welcome to the reality of what happens when you don’t “stay on the plantation,” Mr. Williams. Will be interesting to see how you react to this experience.

Just to be clear, by “stay on the plantation,” I meant “stay on the Democrat/PC plantation.”

"I have also grown to like Williams, he seems to be more reasonable and open to ideas other than the Leftist doctrine."

Well I'm not ready to buy the guy a beer yet, but the other day on Special Report's panel he sounded down right Conservative when they were talking about Germanys "Failed Multiculturalism'" and the possible effects felt here in America from it.
