Sometimes it’s fun to see Dems swing at the end of their own rope.
CONGRATULATION JUAN, now go work for a real American news team, FOX!

And emulate Bernie Goldberg!
I think he could just as well have said" "...people who look like Muslims." The result (his firing) would have been the same. The 9/11 terrorists did not wear "Muslim garb" so passengers, crew, and air marshals had better watch for those who look like Muslims for whatever reason.
Don’tcha just love it when leftists throw other leftists under the bus for being insufficiently PC? Just witness what happened to Joe Lieberman for sticking up for our Iraq war effort.
The undercarriage of that ol’ bus is lousy with the flesh and blood of insufficiently orthodox leftists.
You have to love the timing of this! LOL
If Juan cares to go that route, I’m sure he has some interesting stories to tell.
I don’t think he will, however—his liberalism is really dyed-in-the-wool and I can’t see him changing much.
That being said, I never found him nearly as detestable as most libs, such as the types found on MSNBC, for example.
Exactly. On the other hand how do Muslims look? The only way to recognize them is by their garments
These liberal fools do not understand the disaster they are creating for themselves. People in this country are not going silently into the abyss on the Jihad issue. By marginalizing all reasonable objections to diminitude they empower extremism.

But he might figure it’s time he gets off the plantation and turns into a Bernie Goldberg. Maybe he realizes he has been used for evil purposes and is waking up. He knows how much blacks have been used and taken advantage of. Now he can speak his mind on that and a whole lot more.
There is a hidden gem here. What NPR “journalist” in their right mind is ever going to say anything on television again? If they do, it will be so nothing no producer will be interested.
I big step into obscurity for NPR - I hope.
This is so much bull funky! Can’t a person air their personal concerns without someone taking offence! Consider that Williams’ concern was about an issue of national security. I’d be as concerned as he is about who is on the same plane as I am and the motives of that/those people! I don’t think for one second that Juan Williams is a racist, just being realistic. IMHO the liberals got it all wrong - again.
This is what we’ve come to.
Cheerleader gets kicked from the team for not cheering her rapist (why was a convicted rapist allowed to play anyhow).
Juan tells the truth about how Muslims dressed in a way that shows they are Muslim 1st, makes him nervous when on a plane.
Can we even talk about TSA who dare not profile a Muslim but would pat-down a nun...
I suppose NPR doesn’t agree with Eric Holder, eh? Perhaps NPR is exactly the “cowards” Holder was speaking of.
Yes, I know Muslim isn’t a race, but the obvious display of dressing in ‘muslim garb’ and not assimilating with the American culture—IS “”voluntarily socially segregated”
(1) Honesty and liberalism are incompatible.
(2) NPR is woefully inconsistent as regards whatever principles they claim to have.
Isn’t it hillarious! She fired him then afterwards thought “Oh, boy. I forgot about the fund raising.” And she admitted that they’d been having money problems.
Meanwhile, Matt Welch adds, "Williams' firing is a clarifying moment in media mores:"You can be Islamophobic, in the form of refusing to run the most innocuous imaginable political cartoons out of a broad-brush fear of Muslims, but you can't admit it, even when the fear is expressed as a personal feeling and not a group description, winnowed down to the very specific and nightmare-exhuming act of riding on an airplane, and uttered in a context of otherwise repudiating collective guilt and overbroad fearmongering.
Sometimes he looks conservative and makes sense at times and the next day he's licking liberal media boots.
IMHO, he never was the sharpest knife in any drawer.
Not the only way, but unequivocal.
The nineteen 911-Mass Murderers certainly thought so.
They went to great lengths to "not look obviously muslim." They knew that it might have (justifiably) aborted their Mass Murder plan.
