National Public Radio fired Williams over remarks that he made on Fox. The firing of Williams was not justified. Williams feels the same way a lot of us do. NPR is running scared.
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country," Williams said. "But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
what a bunch of nancies. In seems in many circles that real virtues like truth have been supplanted by the more fashionable......political correctness, "tolerance", and some social agenda, as if they can compare

Looks like Juan forgot leftist rule #1, and it bit him in the butt. His firing wasn't justified, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guy.

One, as yet unmentioned aspect of NPR's immediate firing of Mr. Williams, (fired over the phone w/o chance to explain) is how it looks to jihadist muslims.
Any and all slights to islam by infidels must be dealt with harshly and immediately. As far as the jihadist muslims are concerned, he got what he was due. And other infidels did it. As long as they keep pushing to advance their "agenda", and we act to support it (knowingly or not), the jihadis see no reason to do anything different.
What the West sees as acts of strength & tolerance, the conservative, straight from the koran, jihadis see as evidence of weakness....provocative weakness.
Societal support and tolerance for a faith that is intolerant, is nothing less than hypocrisy. It will only beget more violence from those who seek to destroy our country and culture.

isn't he a conservative? what was he doing working for NPR?
he's always on o'reilly agreeing with bill.
Definitely NOT a conservative. Although Id say he's more to the right now after seeing what his sackless government run radio done to him.
I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guy... but hes in the right on this one. He got hosed... Had he said the same thing on BSNBC or CNN nothing would have happened.

I have to wonder whether you ever watch The Factor... Juan is definitely a liberal, as are many of the other analysts/commentators on Fox. He's there to provide the liberal counterpoint to Bill's usually conservative views. The two rarely agree. Being on Fox doesn't automatically mean you are a GOP shill...
Anybody catch ANY of the statements made by that Schiller idiot, the President of NPR? How in the He)) does someone who is such an obvious MORON rise to a position of power within a company? The woman is so utterly stupid that I would seriously doubt the existence of more than two firing synapses within her cranial cavity... And George Soros just gave her $1.8 Million (right before Williams was fired). Who's the puppet master? How old is Soros anyway? Why no worries about his "foreign" money? Yeah, I know he's a citizen but, his companies are all off-shore so he can minimze his taxes here... If the guy was a Republican, Willie boy would be jumping up and down screaming about the big corporate fat cat who doesn't pay taxes and makes all his money off of the proles...
