It does not surprise me that the consensus would eat one of its own, but don't they usually promote failure?


Oh how we LOVES us some diversity of color and religion, just as long as you think the same and don't actually fervently believe in a god, unless it's Allah...

Maybe Whoopie Goldberg was offended and demanded his job.

Maybe he's angling for the second chair on Hannity to replace Alan in order to have someone actually hear the liberal position other than the handful of listeners/viewers the leftist press still commands.

 

[firespin]

He'd a been ok if he said Christians instead.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

He'd be President of NPR...

Obviously, freedom of speech doesn't exist at taxpayer funded NPR.

Freedom of speech most certainly does.

What WILL NOT BE TOLERATED is HATE SPEECH. Everyone knows it's just 2% of Islam that is radical; you can't paint with a broad brush...











... unless of course it's to tar Christianity and the Republicans with their 2%...

NPR is a ridiculously liberal, ridiculously politically correct shithole. Reminds me of the Rick Sanchez firing, only with even less justification.

What's going on with liberals eating their own, anyway?

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

The rules of the consensus.





You're either with us or against us. No grey area of nuance...

Of course, their number one tactic is to demand that the right be nuanced...

wow

right to the point

WE SUPPORT YOUR RIGHT TO SAY AND DO AS YOU PLEASE

SO LONG AS YOU PLEASE US

So what's 2% of a hundred gazillion?

So, is Juan now a Liberal mugged?

Wuld a Juan Williams apology tour be an accepted penance?





He could bow to the Ground Zero Imam...

I'd say yes, and I hope he thinks so also, and perhaps becomes a little less left leaning in the future. FOX should snap him up. He does a decent job most of the time representing the left without being insane about it, as so many on the left seem to be nowadays.

Two gazillion too many.

So, is Juan now a Liberal mugged?

Let's hope so. It must have been a tough decision - "Do we fire him for being politically incorrect, or keep him because he's black?"

 

[WriterDom]

The unforgivable crime was being a regular on Fox.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I'm reading a history of Johns Hopkins, and the writer apologizes all over hell and creation for how blacks and women and gays were regarded in the 1890s. I mean, why speculate about sexual orientation, then apologize cuz the guy wasnt loud and proud about something you never proved and the man (or anyone else) never alluded to! Jesus!

I Have No Sympathy For Juan Williams

Sleep with dogs and you get fleas. If he chooses to align himself, ideologically, with pathological morons, then he’ll be fired for saying out loud what everyone, INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WHO FIRED HIM, are thinking when they get on a plane and see Muslims.

Hell, even J JAckson said he is afraid walking down a dark street and hearing footsteps and is relieved when ITS WHITE BOYS!

You’d have to be either a complete dope or just awakened from a coma that started in 1970.

SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER

what teh fuck does THAT mean anyway?

 

[Powertone]

They really do eat their own.

Ishmael

maybe he can bounce back like ex-Harvard president Lawrence Summers did...

Worth noting: NPR affiliate employee Sarah Spitz at public radio station KCRW wishes death on Rush Limbaugh…not a firing offense.

Andrew Malcolm reminds us that one of the few bipartisan areas of consensus is that political correctness has run amuck:


A majority of Americans, who are globally famous for candidly saying what they think, now say they believe that their country has become too politically correct.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that nearly six in 10 respondents (57%) say they think we’ve gotten too hung up on too many sensibilities. Can we even talk about this with the other 43%? …


But here’s an interesting result from the Rasmussen research: Nearly three out of four Americans say they think that political correctness is a problem.
So, wait a minute: More people think PC is a problem than think there’s too much of it. So, how then is it a problem?


Of course, we respect the right of some people to hold nonsensical views like that. Such thoughtful minorities are an important part of the diverse American identity.


Rasmussen also finds that 13% say they disagree with the 74% and think PC is not a problem. And another 13% are wishy-washy can’t-decides who should probably move to Canada.


The problem is that the first 13% would tell the 74% to either shut up about it, or get branded as bigots or haters for wanting to discuss it. And that 13% either work for or listen to NPR, apparently.

Why not just have Juan Williams debate the issue on NPR? Get him on a panel with other NPR opinion journalists and either have him defend himself or best him with actual argument? It’s not like Williams just got hired by NPR, after all; he’s been there for eleven years. Rather than explore the topic, NPR decided to can him instead in order to maintain their “editorial standards and practices,” but more to the point, their editorial and ideological purity.

That’s exactly what Williams meant when he warned about political correctness, and unwittingly turned himself into an object lesson in it.
