When Dalton fired that crooked bartender on “Road House” you just KNEW there would be trouble.
The Fox News people have each others backs and I'll put money on Roger and Rupert against Soros any day.

The ombusman must represent NPR’s moonbat listeners to determine the past complaints about his appearance on Fox make him ‘more trouble than he’s worth’.

National Public Radio’s in-house watchdog says that the firing of Juan Williams for his remarks about Muslims was “poorly handled.”

Yeah, that's the ticket, Alicia. It's obvious you've given a lot of thought to this matter and have drilled down to the root of the problem. Way to go.

Maybe you can help a local McDonald's with your analytical skills. As a test try this: "You want fries with that burger?"

"Ultimately, however, it seems management felt he had become more of a liability than an asset. Unfortunately, I agree.”

Heh...they still don't get it! I wonder how long the two floozeys who fired Juan will last with the heat from his MSM pals only intensifying?

I saw all of her comments. She was doing ok until she tried to make a comparison and asked if Juan would be scared if a black man in typical black garb got on an airplane. Man these people are soopid.

"I'm hijacking this plane! Take me to Detroit!"

And what exactly is "typical black garb" other than a purely racist phrase?

yes, like the “how to speak tea bag” opinion piece. Oh, that’s right, only Muslims can be offended. I wonder if there was one single death threat in response to the cartoon, currently posted on NPR.org?

What I find really interesting is that NPR never anticipated the storm it has created around itself with Juan’s firing.

The good news is that it has set itself up for ultimately being defunded. And the beauty of it all is that it will be based on firing one of its own leftists. Obviously, right now courting terrorist Islam is more important to the left than even protecting one of its own. The psychosis that encourages the way the left thinks should be documented, studied and understood.

I wonder if they would have treated Jesse Jackson the same way if he was employed by NPR when he made his famous “...and when I look behind me and see it’s two white guys, I feel relieved” comment...

It wasn’t that it was wrong, it just wasn’t handled properly.

My ass.

Thanks malkee.

NPR needs to be ended. Yesterday.

I like what one of the Fox guys said about Juan.

Something like he is a liberal you can actually have a conversation with.

I guess NPR thinks it should have waited a month so people wouldn’t realize that NPR is a partner with CAIR in shaking down America whenever a peep is said about the number one threat to the world - radical Islam. CAIR uses strong arm scare tactics daily all over the U.S. to get organizations and speakers to cancel their speaking engagements about Islam. THey are racketeers who deserve prosecution.

Exactly!! Now is the time to expose CAIR and push back on their propaganda campaign.

I know you will find it hard to believe but through much torment I was able to shut it off before it concluded. Maybe you can google it when the wifes not in the room.
Keep me posted.
