Bill O’s show tonight is hitting it out of the park. Soros will be wiped in a few minutes by Bill O.

I went to DU and read several posts on the subject. Most were of the ‘good riddance to bad rubbish’ nature, but a surprising number criticized the move. A big argument erupted over whether you can be ‘racist’ against a group [Muslims] that includes all races. Fun to watch, really.

“. . .We get credit and, in this case, blame for NPR’s decisions. Many listeners don’t understand the distinction between the member station (WBUR) and the network (NPR).”

The best way to attack a national broadcaster is to go after its local affiliates. You attack the local affiliate by complaining to its sponsors.

You know it's bad when Bob Beckell condemns NPR and says he won't be contributing to them this year...

good thing they got the Soros money - looks like they're gonna need it.

This should all put a chill on any other attacks to get rid of people on FOX - per orders from Soros - the blow back is great!

“Don’t you just love it when a liberal gets skewered for “political incorrectness” ?

And here poor Juan thought he was bulletproof.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha....”

I always think he sounds pretty reasonable on FOX...

I asked if they fired Juan Williams ‘cause he was black? LOL I think i heard someone’s head explode

Interesting angle. The conservative right could actually pull a race card for once. Imagine that!

Also, we should contact Patricia Harrison, who is the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and tell her to fire NPRs Schiller
