Well $5 million from Spooky Dude (George Soros for Beck haters) must have been pretty close to the top of the bottom line.

Another man fired, simply for stating his opinion,
an infringement of freedom of speech.

Ya'll can dance around it all you want, but the man
just lost his job because he answered a question
truthfully.

Political Correctness is censorship!!!

Juan Williams is quite simply NOT A REAL LIBERAL
Finally I learn what a REAL LIBERAL is. I see you as left of most real liberals so now I know what one of those is.

Indeed it did. Quite a coinincidence I'm sure.

Since George Soros has finally stopped hiding behind his purchase of the Progressive American wing of politics one has to wonder if he is desperate or if he is about to cash-in and collapse the dollar.

"Real liberals" must follow the herd mentality and not be independent thinkers? Which is it?

Juan defends Obama just as vigorously as he defended Thomas. Do you recall Juan explaining how exciting it was for him and other members of the black community to see Obama elected and how it was something with which couldn't identify? But he's not a "real liberal" because he's not blinded 100% by red Communist rage? Is that it?


The best the rules allow from me is this, but you just drove the nail clear through the board.

Perhaps it is because the "real liberals" turn down invitations by FOX News to appear. They are invited to have equal time.

Is it the fault of FOX that "real liberals" are cowards who prefer to hide behind the skirts of the liberal MSM where they won't be challenged with tough questions? Really?

Spooky Dude buying out NPR tells so much about fair and balanced to me. I guess I can never get far enough left to stand next to you but I have tried and it just doesn't work.

Hey Muslims and Muslim-Americans,

When I get on a plane and I see you completely covered in muslim garb, I do get nervous. Does that mean I hate you and all Muslims? No. It is just simply a perfectly understandable reaction in a post 9/11 world.

Juan Williams should not have been fired.

I'm ahead of you today Roy, check post # 18.
