Figures. Juan Williams wanders off the plantation, plantation bosses take action. Black people who work for NPR are limited to only certain pre-approved opinions.

Well, this clarifies things. Center-left Williams (he seemed to support Obama, but once in a while supports Republican ideas) gets fired from NPR for straying from the PC party line. Amazing, but is it really THAT surprising??

Of course the journ-o-lista meme is that the 9-11 attackers were radicals not representative of the religion or Muslims in general.

Well, Juan Williams has a perfect opportunity to defend himself by dusting off old polls - probably Pew polls - taken not long afterward - showing wildly enthusiastic support for bin Laden in the Muslim world.

O’Reilly will have Juan on tomorrow night, I’ll bet. If he mealymouths or rationalizes, he deserves it. If he defends his honor, they he can get some respect.

I really like Juan even though I don’t agree with a lot of his views. I’m so fed-up with political correctness especially when it comes to Muslims.

I thought he worked full time as Hannity’s straight man.

Maybe Juan will start saying what he really believes and not what NPR demands that he say. He has slipped a couple of times in the past and had to get back in line.

NPR is another Govt. funded garbage dump that needs to be eliminated...costs way to much money for no more than they contribute to the national scene. We don’t need left wing propaganda at such a large price tag.

I am so BLASTED ANGRY that our tax dollars fund this crap. NPR and NPT are wholly owned by the government and public donations but do NOT ADVERTISE that their controllers are all DEMOCRATS. I am furious about it.

He’s not liberal enough for Soros’ NPR?

If the GOP wins Congress, they need to totally defund NPR

"There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved." — the Reverend Jesse Jackson, as quoted in US News, 3/10/96

I guess Jesse won't be allowed on NPR, either.

I’m thinking George Soros isn’t looking too good to people now, eh?

Juan Williams....politically correct, but not politically correct enough for Government Radio.

This very interesting, to say the least. Odds are Rush will be talking about this on his show.

NPR said in its statement that the remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices...

Apparently truth is inconsistent with their standards.

Yeah... That's about right.

So, apparently free speech is inconsistent with NPR.

That's pretty much it. NPR's policy is that black people have to love Islam ~ or die.

Not surprising they'd fire Juan for having finally realized that Moslems are NOT OUR FRIENDS.

This calls for some serious defunding!
