From the reaction today this is HUGE boost for William's career. Once he is free from his contract and all the legal issues are settled I'd love to read/hear him do an expose' on NPR from his decade of experience there.
I said everything that I needed to say. You're not getting under my skin. I'm just letting someone know who they're dealing with since they probably didn't already know. Now they do. Now we're done.
Thanks for that, but yes, I was aware. Too bad so many people just follow lock-step behind the talking heads instead of forming their own opinions. Doesn't show much intellegence. That's why our country is in trouble.
Do you think JW would have been fired for saying he would have been nervous about going to a Tea Party event?

He never would have raised an eyebrow with that comment because it's expected and common knowledge that the left demonizes the right.
So now we have to point out that not all Muslims are extremists every time we mention Muslim Muslim Muslim. OK, granted not all of them are. Why it would make me nervous is because you can't tell extremists from non-violent Muslims by looking at them. To be non-bigoted we are suppose to take our chances getting on a plane and not even let what happened on 911 cross our mind and all the soldiers that have died in this war? It just shouldn't make us nervous at all? Really?
while it is unfair to paint all muslims with the same brush, i know many and they are nothing like the islamofacists that want to kill everything they see, most of the moderate wont stand up and say that what the islamofacsits do is wrong.

Why should my tax money go to fund a view that I don't agree with?
And who are they representing anyhow?
I'm actually wondering what percentage of their budget comes from public funds. It's most certainly not a majority. For what I've read it's around or maybe even less than 10%. Most of the money comes from private and corporate donations.

I absolutely hate to see Juan Williams leave NPR, but this was not at all a racist move. There are several black programs hosts who are employed with the company. And I believe he would still be there had he not said what he did.
The fact is, NPR can hire and fire whomever they want. They now just have to deal with the public outcry when their decisions are viewed as controversial.
That comment alone will get you smacked by the mods.
