Hume Excoriates NPR’s ‘Howling Double Standard’ and Intolerance for a ‘Bill Cosby Liberal’
NewsBusters ^ | 10/25/10 | Brent Baker

On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume condemned NPR for its “howling double standard” in firing Juan Williams for expressing an opinion, a standard “manifestly not being applied to other NPR people.” He forwarded the theory that “in the culture of NPR, appearing on Fox is a sin” and “for an African-American man” to “be kind of a Bill Cosby liberal, not a down-the-line liberal, is a sin as well.” Hume’s assessment came after host Chris Wallace read from a column in which Cokie Roberts denounced Glenn Beck as “worse than a clown. He’s more like a terrorist,”

I watched it and I loved it!

Brit was fuming. He looked visibly angry.

Cokie is the quintiscential liberal hiding in objective clothing. The daughter of a stinking politician and Senator married to journolist John Roberts - equally damned. About as valuable as a boil on your butt during a long, long plane ride...middle seat, to boot....

Steve Roberts.

John Roberts wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

I remember shortly after 9/11 Cokie Roberts said that she did not want airline pilots to be armed because “somebody might go into the cockpit, take the pistol away from the pilot and use it to hijack the plane” or “the pilot might use the gun to shoot the passengers.” I swear that idiot Cokie Roberts said it. Who cares what that stupid woman says.

It’s real nice that the ruling class is in an spat over how they treat each other.

I just wish they would discuss illegal aliens coming to the Phoenix suburbs to cut off heads and rape 12-year-olds; or, Barack Hussein Obama bringing an additional 80,000 Islamic immigrants to resettle in the US.

Well, that's a given. All Democrats are elitists of one sort or another. How else can they steal from others and seek to subjugate them according to their whims?

Let’s all feel pity for “cooky-Roberts”.

She has no talent...which is why she’s a lib.

We should just hope that she retains enough of her limited IQ to feed herself as time goes on.

Cokie Roberts needs to look long & hard at the airplane crach that killed her Dad.
Many think that Bill Clinton was behind that plane going down.

She is a Beltway creature clear to the bone and will do and say only what the Beltway culture allows.
