s “political correctness” going too far? Did NPR “flipped the bird” at Fox News in firing Juan Williams?
Yesterday Juan Williams, who works at Fox News, and had worked at NPR who was fired for remarks he had made on the former about remarks about by Mr. Williams about boarding an airplane at the same time as Muslims. Not surprised, what we are seeing is “political correctness” going to the extreme in a bigtime way. Could it be because there are people out there who do get nervous when seeing anyone who looks Middle Eastern and gets on the plane as well, in the quiet of their minds? Could it also be because NPR is “jealous” of Fox News success?
Juan Williams, who is very outspoken person who is very supportive of President Barak Obama as well as other liberal issues, his firing by NPR has come to me as a SURPRISE. The remarks Mr. Williams made were ALL on Fox News “The O’Reilly Factor” this past Monday night.
Goes to show that even those who are liberal will in the end, TURN ON AGAINST THEIR OWN.

No, this is more important than you realize. This incident tells the black population that they have been displaced as the favored minority group of the LEFT. Radical Islam is more effective at dismantling the United States than the NAACP, even though the NAACP has been taken over by radical leftists. Too many black people would object to the destruction of the country so many of them died for. They would be a problem when the whole system is to be brought down.
It is past time to remove taxpayer funding for this ultra lib project. Put them all out of work and let them compete like everyone else for support...earn it in other words. The fact is PBS would vanish like all other liberal enterprises not propped up by the taxpayers, most of whom ignore it.
WAY past time
I do not agree with most what Juan says but for NPR to fire him is out of bounds. NPR is nothing but a bunch of liberal nut cases paid for by our taxes. Obama “SS” strikes again
Juan has just been mugged by the same machine he has supported since the beginning of his career. All of those he has bitched about and pointed his finger at for making truthful statements that are somehow linked to racial issues in his mind have come full circle. What happened to Juan isn't right, but it is poetic.
An infinite number of monkeys (no racial slur intended) working on an infinite number of typewriters could write a better sentence than this ...
Dude...
A single monkey, drunk and stoned, on a single typewriter could bend over and poop on the paper and create more clarity than that...
Wrong way to look at this: this is NPR GONE TOO FAR and it needs to be DEFUNDED and removed. The government has no business establishing its own propaganda “news” agency.

George Soros is buying 100 new "reporters" for NPR to mold the "news" to his political point of view: Soros Buys NPR
Wade Rathke, of ACORN infamy, posted this yesterday: Fox Boycott
That was followed by this from the Soros-financed Tides Foundation: Threats to Fox
Beck's TV program yesterday outlined all of this and what it means. Soros and his Syndicate are going all-out to influence this election and those that follow. They are going to make Fox News the issue with a massive propaganda campaign -- if they can't win the war of words they'll try to destroy the opposition by any means necessary.
Thanks NPR, now we have a few more common sense blue collar union types who will vote our way on Nov. 3rd.
Well, Soros would be picking on the WRONG enemy to take up a fight with, because remember that WHO OWNS Fox News and it is a gentleman by the name Rupert Murdoch. Not a guy to pick a fight with.
You mean November 2nd.
Liberals are self destructing. Couldn’t happen at a better time.
Their particular aim is at Glenn Beck and they've done a pretty good job of scaring advertisers away from his program. But he's still supported by overall Fox advertising revenues so they're now out to silence Fox completely.
Murdoch is powerful but we're about to witness the politics of personal destruction taken up a few notches beyond anything we've witnessed in the past. Murdoch has shown some political ambivalence in the past, supporting some liberal candidates, etc. The question in my mind is whether he's in this for the long haul or will put his business interests above ideology.
oops, you’re right.
I think you will see a big cat fight, and Soros WILL WISH he did not step into this fight. DO NOT UNDERESTEMATE Murdoch.
Murdoch is not one to mess with.
