It’s enough to make your head hurt.
Juan Williams, an Afri can-American and a liberal, was fired from ultra-leftist, tolerance-mouthing NPR for being Conservative While Black. And I’m glad.
Only now that Williams has been caught in the wood chipper of narrow-minded racism that rules a network partly funded by taxpayers can we shine a light on the bigotry our dollars are buying. For beneath the veil, NPR embraces a culture not of inclusion and acceptance, but one of fear.
Fear of offending their militant audience — whether or not anyone is complaining.
It isn’t pretty.
With Williams’ sacking, maybe now we can be honest about the conversation he started — and NPR ended. He admitted, reasonably, to Bill O’Reilly that he gets “nervous” when he boards an airplane and sees passengers draped in Muslim garb.
As you might expect, a push is on by pundits on the left and right to dump Williams into the list of those who’ve fallen under the bus of political orthodoxy. It doesn’t work.
Williams never expressed loathing toward any group — as Helen Thomas, Rick Sanchez and Mel Gibson did toward Jews.
He didn’t Utter a Forbidden Word While White on radio — like Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s ironic N-word.
And he didn’t present himself as a policeman of Muslim fashion trends. ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser was suspended for publicly ripping into the short, tight skirts squished into by his colleague Hannah Storm.
Williams spoke, with a dollop of guilt, about himself.

Juan Williams is typical of the NPR trash commentators and gets little sympathy from me. For once he said something accurate, to a limited extent, and was fired by his fellow Marxists; so what? This is the way the Communists always behave, and they will do far worse if they are allowed to have more power; their track record in the Soviet Union is enough proof for any thinking individual, and as pointed out in another article, the CEO was a tour guide in the Soviet Union, and preaches that ideology. Time to stop supporting that organization; I can get Classical Music from other sources who respect and love this nation.
Gerald you said it all, NPR is a commie organization.I would rather listen to grass growing then NPR .When Senor Juan bashed conservatives he was the darling of he air waves and now this is what he got for speaking his mind.
I know who Juan Williams is but little more. The NPR is a Russian made Trojan horse introduced to our public by Government fellow travelers at out expense, naturally. It is one of several Trojan horses that should not be getting any public funding. They are all manufactured by the same company and they all have the same function. Now its up to you to fund or defund them.
"Russian made" In 1967 in the U.S.? Are you high?
I took it to mean NPR is like Russian radio which is exactly what NPR.If you don't say what they want you get axed.So jimbo are you high?
"Like Russian radio" seems considerable different to me than "Russian made," but if Whit's OK with your clarification so am I. And no, I haven't been high for many years–though sometimes during election season I wonder.
Edward in fact Jame's brain is in another galaxy!
You'r analogy of NPR seems correct to me!
James!
Illiterate one!
NPR / National Public Radio is in fact a far left liberal leaning radio station which has received many questionable donations from foreign sources..
Ever since the chocolate Marxist took office. We all are now the enemy in his eyes.
This is a great story, some are saying that this was engineered by Fox News, others that his firing was long overdue. Perhaps the folks offering this stuff up are feeling a little isolated and anxious in front of the election. It's kind of like an October surprise.
It was engineered by Fox… cause Oreilly was blasting them over his firing… then Fox hired him full time giving me $1 million dollar salary… so now Juan thinks he’s hot stuff. He the biggest Democrat in hiding I have ever seen. He defends them non-stop.
NPR / National Public Radio is but nothing more than a media oultlet for Liberal Progressive Democrats & Communist.
I can recall the days when it was a well respected radio station & organization which the general public was proud of.

So sad to see such a fine organization to decend to such lows!
